@Galway Girl Thanks for posting the door assembly instructions! @Corvus @Jps190 @SNY SD UP When I read the door installation instructions, there does not seem to be a wrong way to insert the hinge pins. They suggest putting the long portion of the pin toward the middle of the door, but then state that the hinge pins may be installed with the short end toward the middle of the door if the hinge channel is too tight between the hinge pins. It does seem that the hinge pins would last longer with the long portion placed toward the center of the door. Mossey

My following thoughts are based upon existing wiring schematics that I have found in the Oliver University. So you found the B+ wire for the porch lights behind the main switch panel which leads me to believe that you located the switch for the porch lights as well and I would guess that it is a red wire, not the it really matters. And while I am in a guessing mood, I would bet the porch light switch is a simple 2 wire switch and both wires are red. One of the wires on that switch is the line side or power in B+ and the other wire is the load side or B+ out to the lights. There should be a junction connector on both wires of that switch, one which supplies B+ to the other switches on the main panel and one the supplies B+ to the street side porch lights. Can you verify whether or not there is a junction connector on the load side of the porch light switch? Mossey

@Snackchaser My LE2 #193 has a breaker/switch panel in the attic/rear overhead cabinet. It is a sub panel that that controls all of the 12V DC circuits above the belly band. Does your Ollie have such a panel? Mossey

I think the issue is with the Dexter E-Z Flex Tandem Axle Equalizer Suspension which allows one axle/tire to stay in contact with the road surface when the other axle/tire is on another level, such as driving over a curb. The solution is to use a leveler under each axle/tire on the same side. I have rarely ever needed this type of leveler on both sides of the trailer before using the stabilizer jacks and it is wise practice to always have all 4 tires in contact with the ground or a levered or the square plastic pads. You want to avoid the tires being unsupported. Mossey

If the gas stove top or the hot water heater work, then the regulator should be fine. Mossey

My 2017 LE2 has a MaxxAir Vent Fan with Remote that does have a temperature controlled Automatic on/off feature. I can also set the fan speed for this automatic feature. Mossey

My wife doesn’t drink coffee, so a pour over of some sort has been my coffee making routine for a loooong time. I am presently using an AeroPress and an old Jetboil camping stove. The AeroPress is a lot like a French Press except it is nearly indestructible, no glass. Or you could heat water on the kitchen gas cooktop. Mossey

I spoke to Cindy and her husband and they will give our suggestions a try. Mossey

I am going to have to make some assumptions with the limited information you have provided. I am also going to ask some questions so I can try to help. 1. Did the pull/push handle stay attached to the stainless steel wire? 2. Did the SS wire pull all of the way out out the black sleeve? 3. Do you know where the grey tank valve is located? 4. Do you have a twin or full size bed? 5. Do you know how to access the area below the street side bed and front dinette? Mossey

@jd1923 said, Guess when I work this, I'll have to bite the bullet for the $400 Orion XS and likely another $200 for cables and connectors. I placed a bid of $280 for a Orion XS couple of days ago that was listed on eBay @$328.10. At $280 it was still over $300 to my house. I received a counter offer of $308.10 which I declined because I'm really not ready for that job, a refrigerator repair/replacement has top priority. Mossey

Blain's is a must when I go to Ottawa, IL to visit family. Mossey

That makes sense to me especially when working below decks. Mossey

You win! Mossey

@Boudicca908 I invested in a Milwaukee a M12 drill/driver about 6 years ago and I have added about 6 additional tools from the M12 family. I usually just buy the bare tools because I don’t need any more chargers. I buy from who ever has the best price which is typically Home Depot around Black Friday when they usually have the best prices on tools and batteries. I will admit that when I see the battery powered grease gun sitting on the shelf, I think that it was a waste of money! When I get on a creeper and scoot under the Ollie and grease the zerks, I think that it maybe the best tool I ever invested in. Mossey

@RAshellWelcome to the OTT forum neighbor. Hope your pickup is as exciting for you as it is for most new owners. Mossey

Sooooo, did you buy the right sized tool for future zerk removal? And what size was the right sized tool or tools? Mossey

@rideadeuce I went to Victron's Venus GX UI release page today and I was pretty amazed at how busy the Victron developers have been. I think my Cerbo GX is running v2.90, so I am way behind you and v3.50~13. I don’t have the skill set needed for beta testing or even being a fast follower, so I’ll be on the sidelines watching as v3.50 develops. Which version did your Ekrano come with? The display graphics look a lot like the Simarine product which I really liked when I started my Rpi experiment running Venus GX software. Please keep us posted as v3.50 develops. Mossey

As a longtime terrier owner & lover, those pups are way too cute. Sorry to say that my Krunch has put her foot down and said my Border Terrier Nick is the last terrier I get to have.☹️ Mossey

Very, very cool! Mossey

Have you shopped EBay for a Victron CC? I am using a 150/45 that was cheaper than the 100/30 at that time. It's often all about inventory! Mossey

I was beginning to think you worked for GZ, maybe you’re just one of those influencer's. Just kidding! Mossey

I like to test the power pole prior to spotting the Ollie and if I’m not blocking traffic I won’t even back in until I have verified the power pole is in working order. Mossey

I think the ratings label on the underside may have that value. Mossey
