Happy and Safe 4th to all! Mossey

And A Happy 4th to y’all as well. Glad the Platinum Package is all you hoped for! Mossey

I usually start with a plastic razor blade or scraper. I've had success with De-Solv-It, Goo Gone or Goof Off on a coarse rag. And don’t kill yourself because mine seems to come back a little less each time I clean the edges. Mossey

Welcome to the forum and good luck on your shakedown trip! Mossey

Welcome to the forum! What type of batteries do you have and how many? How are you reading the battery voltage? What is the unloaded battery voltage at rest or about 15 minutes after you have remove it from shore power and without any DC loads drawing the battery down? If you only run the inverter for a short time, like reheating your coffee, what is the voltage after you turn the inverter off? More information included with a question = better answers. Mossey

As do I, but I do have a Micro-Air EasyStart installed on my Dometic air conditioner. @Steve Morris Do you have the Truma air conditioner? If so, what is the starting amperage draw? Have you tried the air conditioner on a 20A circuit? Mossey

Correction! Saw this Champion 2500 on Amazon yesterday at $414 and today it’s at $399. I have found the reason for the price change, it’s a different generator. The generator priced at $414 is dual fuel and the one priced at $399 is gas only. Sorry for the misleading post! Gasoline only. https://www.amazon.com/Champion-Power-Equipment-200961-Ultralight/dp/B08L47G374/ref=sr_1_3?crid=2UTQ1DDM03KCO&keywords=Champion%2B2500%2Bwatt%2Bgenerator&qid=1688037717&sprefix=champion%2B2500%2Bwatt%2Bgenerator%2B%2Caps%2C101&sr=8-3&th=1 The dual fuel model is here. https://www.amazon.com/Champion-Power-Equipment-200961-Ultralight/dp/B08L45W2V9/ref=sr_1_3?crid=2UTQ1DDM03KCO&keywords=Champion+2500+watt+generator&qid=1688037717&sprefix=champion+2500+watt+generator+%2Caps%2C101&sr=8-3 Mossey

Very nice mod! That's an excellent arrangement for y’all. Mossey

Galway Girl and Craig are traveling to Alaska so they may not have great communications. Be patient while waiting for a response. I'm not going pretend that I am familiar with this modification, but it does look like there is a support bar that also connects the 2 regulators. He also mentioned the adapter the gas flows through must stay on the large regulator and it does look like a wrench is needed to hold the adapter while you turn the small regulator. Mossey

You are correct, Victron does not communicate with Xantrex. I will stick with the Xantrex until it quits. Then I will try to figure out where to place a MultiPlus-2. Mossey

I chose Mopeka because they are supported by Victron's software and interface easily with their GX family of products. The pictures I shared above are taken from Victron's VRM product servers which are located around the world. This also gives me the ability to receive email or text alerts such as a low SOC reading from my batteries. Mossey

I use it with a 2000 w Xantrex. I’ll install a MultiPlus II when the Xantrex fails. Mossey

I installed the Mopeka tank sensors earlier this year as part of my Victron Cerbo GX project and I am quite happy with them. We will see how the hold up long term. Mossey

I certainly agree with your assessment! It is cock eyed. Hopefully the service department will get it sorted out for you. Mossey

Looks like the guard dog has the best seat in the house! Mossey

The solar panel mounting points would be more important to me than the pre-wiring. I wonder if that is still being installed during a non solar build. Mossey

This is what I use, since I don’t own a 1/2" Allen wrench! Mossey

Mine was powered by a positive and negative wire from the Ollie and connected to the positive and negative wire leads from the CO/Propane detector with crimped butt connectors. The wires and butt connectors are probably covered by wire loom and should be visible under the aft dinette seat, near the detector mounting location. After disconnecting the batteries via a cutoff switch or manually removing the negative cable, while working on 1 wire at a time, cut the wire on the Ollie side, the strip the wire insulation and crimp on a new butt connector. Then repeat for the second wire. Now you can remove the bad CO/Propane detector and install the new one. Then crimp the new detector wires to the Ollie wires. I’m not sure, but I think the positive wire has a fuse under the street side bed, near the stabilizer jack fuses. And don’t forget your solar system is also supplying power and if you can, cover the panels with a moving blanket. If you have any further questions, let us know, Mossey

@RoadKingsofGA Very nice and creative! And your documentation of the project should be very helpful to others. But I’m more interested in what may be a bike rack mounted on top of the sewer hose storage area. Can you elaborate on that project if it is indeed a bike rack mount. Mossey

The giveaways for me were the printing on the glass in the bath window and the metal window gutter that is built into the rear window frame. And Kansa mentioned working on the rear window sealant. But, you made me look at the rear window picture again and it appears to be the right side of the window frame. The caulk that seals the frame to the fiberglass is on the right or outside of the frame. And the deteriorating caulk is on the inside or glass side of the frame and there shouldn’t be any caulk in that area because that window is the fire escape and opens to the outside. Now I find myself in my usual state of confusion. So maybe Kansa can provide some additional pictures that show the complete window and we can also see the cockeyed view. Mossemi

Your first picture is of the bathroom window and the black seal or gasket is installed by Lippert, the window manufacturer. The picture of the rear window shows a sealant that Oliver uses to seal the window frame to the Oliver fiberglass exterior. Both of these pictures indicate failures in different components used in the manufacturing of an Oliver Travel Trailer. I think your trip to Hohenwald is going to solve both of these issues to your satisfaction and may prevent future failures for you and other owners. I don’t think the bath window is a major concern, but if it does leak, adding some butyl tape would stick to the existing gasket, frame and glass. It will be easier to remove than a silicone product. The rear window does need attention to prevent water intrusion into the basement area and the interior of you Ollie. Document any and all work you do while cleaning up the the caulking around the rear window with notes and pictures and provide that information to the Oliver service department during your upcoming appointment. When I look around our house, I see the same or similar products used in the construction and installation of our windows and sometimes they need maintenance, in our case, it’s to keep the air conditioning in as well as water out. Good luck and reach out if you need additional information, Mossey

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

Under the aft dinette seat. Mossey

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