I could be wrong...but in your photo it appears that your plastic twist connector fitting on your water line has loosened with vibration. This has been a reoccuring issue with my trailer and I periodically check all the twist fittings for tightness. In your photo, it's the line toward you with the black plastic tie-down that is out of place.
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.

Pro/Cons of each?
Going lightly and conservatively on spare parts is my approach. Which would suit us the best?
Thanks
GJ
PS: Can assume all our Ollie plumbing is 1/2" pex?
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.

until I heard the brother of a coworker riding his Harley got wrecked by a (wait for it) feral hog.
I hope he is OK!

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

My first job was installing stereo systems in cars
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!

I plan to just turn off the Truma aquago every night and turn it back on in the morning.
John
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.

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.

That's exactly where I was going with that quote. (I was only through a half-cup of Joe at the time!).
@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.

Searched this forum, far and wide, using so many keywords (rally, meet, national, lake, guntersville, 2025, etc.). Is there not a thread re the 2025 Oliver National Rally? Where is this advertised? What are the dates...
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'.

Per your suggestions, will also get a water filter to add to the city line in.
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.

not closing properly
A couple more steps that I would add to @jd1923 suggestions is to make sure that both the black and grey blade valves are closing completely. Both black and grey tanks empty out of the same pipe at the rear bumper, so either blade valve may be leaking. Try pushing down on both blades to check for any movement which could indicate the need for a cable adjustment. And if you haven’t previously lubricated the valve cables, it will help valve opening and closing. It goes without saying that troubleshooting the sewer system it much easier to do at a full hookup site.

Congratulations and welcome! From the looks of your first picture, it looks like you may already be in Mayport! The cabbage palms, sunshine, blue skies and the Atlantic Ocean in the background lead me to think you made the trip south successfully, congratulations.

Call Blue Sky technical support, as other BS owners have reported that their support is excellent.

Would lamination of the door with a thin material to just hide the cracks be a solution?
I have thought about an overlay of some type of sheet product, but I have always stumbled on a method to attach it to the cracked inner panel. I am sure there is a product that would work, I just haven’t looked hard enough to find it.

Our door has plenty of cracks and I’m not sure why but it may have began with the wind pulling the door out of my hand while opening from the inside on a windy day. @jd1923's post about the additional hinges from Lippert would help with a windy day but as stiff as they make my door opening and closing, they just might be causing additional stress on the door frame. My door was cracked when I installed the extra hinges so I really don’t know if they would have prevented the cracks from happening to begin with.
I have tried to remove some of the small pieces of the white plastic and they are somehow glued, epoxied or whatever to the styrofoam. I do think sun exposure is a contributing factor.

New Epoch 300AH Essential Battery, all going well except…
in Mechanical & Technical Tips
Posted
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.
