My trick for remembering parallel vs serial is this, parallel = pair and serial = sum. So a pair / parallel of 12v batteries is just a pair of 12’s and the sum / serial of two 12v batteries is 12 + 12 = 24. Mossey

The information on this sticker is needed to fill in the online SCC calculator. Mossey

The first thing that I would do is to get my ladder out and take a picture of the information sticker on the roof top panels and your portable panel. Then you can check an online charge controller calculator and determine if the 100/50 will do the job. I do believe Victron SC’s have the ability to throttle down the in coming power to protect itself. And Craig’s advise is the current voice of experience as he is using similar equipment to yours. Mossey

What solar equipment did Oliver install in your trailer? What inverter/charger do you have? Mossey

Very good advice! Victron also has a charge controller calculator on their site and Nate is a Victron Ambassador so I’m sure they are similar or the same. Mossey

That’s a great idea! Can you take a few pictures of your flasher in operation and maybe include a part number? I’m sure there are others interested in this tool/mod. Mossey

This is really short notice for me to start my acting classes, but your point is noted. Mossey

That is an old trick that has been around for a while, but some here may not be aware of it. Thanks for mentioning it. Mossey

ScubaRx and I did a hands on demonstration and discussion about PEX plumbing at the 2022 OTTO's rally. It seemed to be well received by those that participated. We were talking recently about lubricating the dump valve cables and the valves themselves and thought it might be a subject for discussion at this years rally if there was enough interest. So if anyone has interest in this topic, please PM me directly. And if anyone is having trouble with their dump valves, we might be able to incorporate that into the demonstration/discussion if they are willing to have some “amateur plumbers” in and around their Ollies. We will limit this offer to 2 Ollies if there are any volunteer victims! Mossey

I had an opportunity to check my tag light wiring yesterday. and it matched your wiring before your repair. And I found it also matched the wiring diagrams in the 2017 LE2 manual, although the manual diagram does not show a tag light. It is not much of a guess that they used the tail light circuit to power the tag light. So I have a question for Art, were there any wiring instructions with the new light you installed that designated the positive and negative wires? And the next question is for John Davies. I have been looking for RV wiring standards and the ANSI RVIA Low Voltage Systems for 2020 costs $45.00, which I did not choose to pay. You have made reference to this documentation before and thought you might be able to share your source of information for the rest of us. Mossey

My 2017 LE2 manual indicates that the tan wires are for the camera system. Since I don’t know how you Ollie is equipped it’s the best I can do. My rear camera switch is at the entrance and I have an unused tan wire in the wiring/switch access port in the upper cabinet above the microwave that is routed up into the area above the entrance and heading toward the bathroom where the front camera option was located when it was offered.

Is there any way we can send her flowers and get well wishes? Mossey

And l thought the saying was “keep the greasy side down”, but I guess they do go hand ‘n hand! Mossey

Did you have separate thermostats for heat and air with your OEM Atwood air conditioner? Mossey

All I can say is WOW! Maybe I can hold back my IRS payment and get ‘er done! Mossey

Now that’s a topgun2 Pro tip! Mossey

These two locations used to be an OTTO secret! I guess the cats out of the bag! Mossey

This is a little different approach to adding additional solar panels. Mossey

Just pretend you’re driving the Subaru! Mossey

I have seen the Alabama fan at the rally, but I can’t put a name to the trailer either. Maybe the mystery will be solved next month. Mossey

Well, I’ll make it about Ollie’s for you! Can it move your Elite? Mossey

I have not seen an operating window for the door. I do just as you mentioned with the Maxxair pulling air out and the bath fan allowing the air in. I would probably leave the bath window open instead of the door if it had a window and extra venting was needed. I know that I can’t fit through the bath window, but I could reach through a door window and unlock the door if I had larceny in my heart. Mossey

I use a setting of 4 to 4.5 with my Redarc. Off course you truck and trailer are newer than mine. I am sure you will cause the brakes to lock up before you get it to your happy place. Just try to do it on a lonely back country road. Mossey

Looking good! Congratulations, Mossey

Thanks Craig for filling in the gaps! And now we know the rest of the story! Mossey
