@rideadeuce do you still use the bumper sewer hose compartment with your modified bike rack? If so, please let us know how the 20' hose fits into it and if you can leave it connected all of the time. Mossey

That's one opinion and mine is totally different. When I made the decision to buy an Oliver, I took delivery in Georgia. The seller and I had made the deal in November, so I had about 6 weeks to get my 2014 Land Cruiser ready. I needed an Andersen WD hitch and brake controller. My first was Tekonsha Prodigy 3 and I could not find a place to mount it that wasn’t in my way and it looked like a deck of cards screwed to the dash. So l bought a Redarc, which plugged straight into the Toyota wiring harness. I remove a blank button cover on the dash and modified it to accept the joke as you call it and the Redarc looked great and work flawlessly for the 5 years I used it in the Land Cruiser. Mossey

Mike, I'll say it again, Thank You for your service! Mossey

Just so I have a clear understanding of this issue, is it the frame of the window shade or the actual window? Mossey

I completed our new Nova Kool R5810 AC/DC refrigerator installation before our trip to the 2025 OTTO's Rally and the 3 week shakedown was everything we hoped for! I want to thank all of the early adopters, Try2Relax, MountainOliver, Geronimo John, Ty J and rideadeuce, who preceded my installation and shared there experiences. I have attached a few pictures that are similar to those that have already been posted. I would also like to shout out to David & Kristine Hess, Cooper Jenkins and the rest of the folks at Sea Biscuit Metal Designs for their help and creation of the upper and lower vents for my refrigerator installation. If you need something custom made from metal, they are my goto team! Mossey

A different Sirocco fan mounting option. Mossey

I will be the first to admit that I lean toward the lazy side of the street! This is my method for storing the Gorilla Marine and RV hose. Mossey

I had forgotten about Bill's Lithium installation and the issue he found with his shunt. When you are investigating your battery cable’s, be sure that every negative wire or cable is on the correct or load side of the shunt. There should only be a single negative wire or cable attached to the negative battery post. When wired correctly, the shunt will have the ability to read all 12V usage. Does the Epoch battery have an app the you are reading the SOC with or are you reading the Blue Sky remote? Mossey

For the sake of calculations, I believe the Blue Sky Solar Controller 3024iL is a MPPT type solar charge controller. Since this is the first time charging the battery for this installation, Rolind's comment about the SOC and the BMS is correct. The SOC is a calculated value and drift is a common occurrence. Mossey

Hope they help! Mossey

This schematic and information is from Barker's website and may be of help! Mossey vip_3000_all_pages.pdf

ZLarryb, the plastic connector/tee fitting nut is the red notation. the black plastic tie-down is the yellow notation. the green arrow is pointing to the green "witness marks". Witness marks are sometimes used to mark a 2 part connection like a nut and bolt or in this case it marks both sides of the water pipe connection. It is marked during installation on both sides of the connection and it is a quick visual confirmation of a connector being in the original position or not. Due to the angle of your picture, I can’t verify its position because I can’t see both side of the mark, but you can do a quick verification. Mossey

I believe Oliver's only have 1/2" PEX, but I’m not assuming anything. I only carry 1/2" spare parts and pipe. I carry a SharkBite 90*, coupling, tee, cap. I also carry a PEX pipe cutter and a SharkBite fitting removal tool. A word of caution about SharkBite fittings in general, some of their fittings are reusable and others are single use, so pay attention to which you purchase. Although I have complete confidence in SharkBite fittings, I have never had one fail while in service. I have had installation failures of my own making. So read all documentation available and follow the methods outlined within and all should be good. I do have PEX crimp rings and crimpers at home and they are very hard to use for repairs below decks. So I don’t have any problem leaving SharkBite fittings in service, that I installed in an emergency. The last bit of advice that I have is, buy a reusable SharkBite PEX fitting and some PEX pipe and get busy practicing. Mossey

Welcome! It looks like your Ollie is right where it belongs, is use and camping! Welcome

I hope he is OK! Mossey

You should have headed west and rode around Starved Rock SP. It still has a bunch of twisty 2 laner's. Mossey

I also got started in the stereo installation business, but with 4 track tape players. It was also an after school job. That experience led to a cell phone installation job 20 years later with General Telephone. That job led to 30 years in the cellular phone business. When I retired in 2017, I found immediate employment at home and the list keeps on growing. The really good part is that I get to pick the next job! Mossey

Our standard practice has always been to turn the Truma on at the inside control panel when we needed hot water and then turn it off when not needed. This is not a solution to the problem, it just reduces the likelihood of a fire 🔥 when we are not around. We will also add a step to our departure and setup checklist , to turn the outside switch off or on as needed before travel! It’s the best we can do until a repair has been completed. Mossey

I haven't seen or heard of this before. The ECO mode does fire up periodically as needed to keep the water warm. When you mention 'control panel', are you referring to the inside panel? My inside control panel is above the curbside bed and the wiring is accessible from the porthole in the cabinet above the cooktop. Mossey

@MAX Burner, Maybe it’s time to try making espresso shots with your favorite Black Rifle coffee and really make that half-cup of Joe work a little harder. Mossey

I know I’m a little late to this party, but this search format always works for me. Just change the verbiage between the 'single quotes'. site:olivertraveltrailers.com 'oliver owners rally' Mossey

@Steve Morris On behalf of all Floridian's, I will say "we do all we can to make our visiting Snowbirds feel right at home". Mossey

Visiting Scott and John Oliver in Tampa,FL. They are in town for Oliver TT demo days at Lazydays RV. Lazydays has 3 locations in Florida with Ollie's in stock for your viewing pleasure. Mossey

Also use the pressure regulator on the fresh water fill inlet. Although there are fewer restrictions on the fresh water fill plumbing, it’s still a good practice. This would also apply when you start using the filter. Mossey

I learned something new, thanks! Mossey
