My EU2000i which was purchased new 2004 runs my 2017 Dometic A/C with a Micro-Air EasyStart. Mossey

You are correct! And I have corrected my typo. The final solution will depend on the existing wiring. Mossey

@Patriot I am researching the OTT bike carrier / 1UP SD, double tray combination. There has been a lot of discussion concerning the weight limit of the OTT option and you provided a picture of your rack / receiver weight limit sticker which states that the limit is 150 lbs. But I haven’t read anything about the other limiting factor on that sticker concerning the length of accessories attached to the receiver which is 24” in length. Would you provide a front to back measurement of your 1UP rack mounted in position to carry 2 bikes, verifying it also meets the 24" limitation? Thanks in advance, Mossey

That’s exactly the way our 2017 LE2 was originally wired, except both female spade connectors on both switches were insulated. Mossey

I will try to explain my thinking on this porch light issue while using my 2017 LE2 wiring diagram as an example. Both the curb and street side porch lights are powered by a positive 12V power or B+ wire beginning at the attic Sub Panel. The red B+ wire crosses from the SS to the CS of the of the Ollie in the attic, then it is routed through the upper cabinets to the main switch panel in the entryway where it splits and powers several different circuits. One of those circuits is routed to and powers the CS porch light switch and another is routed to and powers the SS porch light switch. This results in a separate red B+ wire connecting to the input side of each porch light switch. The output side of the CS porch light switch is also red and connects to the CS porch light fixtures. The output side of the SS porch light switch is grey and connects to the SS porch light fixtures. There is also a yellow B- or ground wire connected to each porch light fixture. I am still looking for porch light switch information from someone that has a single rocker switch turning on the porch lights on both sides of the Ollie. Mossey

A point of clarification for my picture above that shows the side porch light switch pushed out of the main panel name plate. That picture does not show the factory switch or wiring because I had previously changed my porch light switches from SPST TO SPDT and the light fixtures to fixtures containing both Amber and White colored lights in one fixture. I can turn on Amber lights by pushing the top of the switch in or turn on white lights by pushing in on the bottom of the switch. The lights are off when the switch is in the neutral position. This modification required running a a second B+ wire from both new SPDT switches to the 2 new light fixtures on both sides of the OLLIE. Mossey

That seems like a reasonable and simple solution if both sides are wired in parallel. Mossey

I haven’t found a wiring diagram for 2020 and newer LE2's. Are there any volunteers that would be willing to do some exploratory sleuthing. I would like to see a picture or diagram of the porch light switch wiring so we can determine if the lights are wired in series or parallel. You can gain access to the switch wiring by removing the round inspection hatch cover located is in the upper storage cabinet above the microwave. There are a lot of wires behind that cover and it’s hard to determine what’s what visually. The switches are a friction fit in the switch panel, so if I am going to work on a specific switch I usually just push that switch out so the switch is hanging by the wires in the entryway. The switch wiring is usually 12V positive and are of varying colors. The 12V negative wires are typically yellow. The pictures below or for reference only and are some what specific to my Ollie only. Mossey

So you can turn the porch lights on or off on both the curb and street side, but you can’t turn on one side or the other individually. Now we have to figure out how turn the lights on either side or both sides together. I’ll see if I can find a wiring diagram for a 2022 LE2 and work on a plan. Off the top of my head I would say that a SPDT switch would be a simple solution if you would be satisfied with the ability to operate one side at a time. Mossey

Can you explain the problem with the outdoor lights and provide some details about you switches? By your statement, I take it the street side lights function differently or correctly. I’m sure someone on the forum has some ideas that might help. Mossey

We got home from our 2023 OTTO rally trip yesterday and have a couple of days of Ollie cleanup scheduled. It was a little rainy at the rally, but we had very good time meeting some new owners and reconnecting with old ones. Now on to the business at hand! ScubaRx and I would like to apologize to all of you that responded to the dump valve maintenance discussion we had planned for the rally. As some of you know, Steve was under the weather and cut his rally stay a couple of days short. He is on the mend and getting better. This discussion is something we will try to complete at a future rally. Thank you all, Mossey

🙏 Mossey

Well, it would have been a good time to talk about Ollie’s especially since you would be picking up soon after. Mossey

I assume you will be at the OTTO Rally with a pickup date a couple days after the rally ends, so I’ll show you then. 😎 Whoops! SteveCr just let the cat out of the bag. Mossey

If you are the original owner, then I think you should make a warranty claim with the Oliver Service Department. If you are the 2nd owner or just like to fix stuff, PM me and we can discuss how I would fix this issue. If there is glue residue on the end of the pipe, it would indicate that it was glued and connected but the pipe was not inserted far enough into the valve body which probably led to the failure. Mossey

Update! Wayfinder and connor77 have volunteered to have everyone in their Ollie's for the dump valve discussion! 😮 Just kidding! 😎 We will try to do most of the discussion in a common place and then do a practical demonstration in and around the volunteer's Ollie's. Mossey

There was a product called LowPro LockDown that was built for the Honda EU2000i, but it is no longer available. This one is similar. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1253698861/generator-lock-security-low-profile Mossey

Right on Charlie! These 2 links will probably answer your questions. And your phone does not a SIM card for Bluetooth to work. I used an old cell phone with my BMV-712 Smart for a year or so. I never really used the included display, as it was mounted below the rear dinette seat. The Smart Shunt was not available at the time I purchased mine, but that is what I would buy if I did not need or want the display. Don’t hesitate to ask if you have additional questions.

Only you can answer that question! Are you a friend of Bill's? Mossey

Revisiting my post above, I don’t think you can complete this repair without drilling out the rivets. The nut and washer have to be trapped in the chrome base which is still attached to the bottom of the cabinet. The hole in the cabinet that the wiring passes through is not large enough for you to work through to line up the washer and nut. And of course there is no way to get a wrench on the nut to secure it either. And I will add that the lights I installed are screw mounted, not riveted. The lights Oliver installed are riveted. Sorry if I miss directed you with my first post! Mossey
