My 2008 Honda EU2000i runs my Dometic AC unit equipped with a MicroAir EasyStart. Does your generator have an ECO mode?
My Honda will not run the AC in ECO mode. Do you have the ability to test the amp draw of your genset when connected and starting the AC?

I have been running my stock Michelin LT tires at about 50 lbs. I will add that at 60-65 mph my pressure does increase 3-5 lbs. after 10 minutes of drive time. The thing I would like to mention, especially for new TPMS users is the effect of sunshine on tire temperatures. For example, yesterday while driving north out of Florida, the curbside tires were running about 4 degrees warmer than the street side. And of course that changes in the afternoon when the sun shines on the street side.

I’ve always been unclear as to what is so objectionable about a wet bath.
Then I guess you would also like a wet pool!😉

In the supplied bag, yep! The 450P, hose, power cord, and nozzle/gauge fit nicely in a Cabela’s plastic ammo can. Still occupies the same volume, but easier to stack. A tip I found a few years ago on the Toyota 4Runner forum.
Is this the ammo can you are referring to?

ordered a new one from E-trailer and it will arrive Wednesday. Now I need to find an electrician.
Try these if you haven’t found anyone.

No they did not. And Progressive Industries just got back with me and informed me they did not make the product, Progressive Dynamics did. Now what to do?
Call Progressive Dynamics. See below for phone number.

It is very difficult to diagnose issues like this without asking qualifying questions, so please be patient with everyone trying to help and don’t take any of the questions personally, we are just trying to help. As I understand the situation, you have been traveling in the trailer for the last nine weeks and you just arrived home and plugged the trailer into the same outlet you have used in the past, which leads you to believe it is a working 30 amp receptacle. Am I correct so far? You also stated that you have tried both the main 30 amp trailer connection as well as the front 30 amp trailer connection that Oliver sells as a generator connection. Both of those connectors should be wired inside the trailer at a junction box or they both go to the surge protector. I do not know the answer to that question because I don’t have the generator connection. The surge protector could be at fault or the incoming power is at fault. Now we need to determine where the problem is and I normally troubleshoot from the beginning and verify point A is working and progress to point B, then C and so on till the fault is identified. A new identical surge protector like you may have is $217 on Amazon and I would want to know beyond reasonable doubt that the one I have is faulty before I bought a new one. I believe a phone call to Progressive Industries and Oliver Travel Trailer’s service department for support and troubleshooting guidance is the direction I would go. The pictures attached may be beneficial.

My 2017 LE2 remote display was installed below the street side bed and it should be obvious when you see the bright red lights scrolling through various readings as Frank’s pictures show. The surge protector will be the first black box the incoming AC power connects to. You should be able to find a large black cable on the inside at the same point your power cable connects to on the outside. The surge protector may have a flat grey data cable similar to the cable that connected you old home phone to the wall jack. If you find that flat cable, you can find the remote display at the other end of it.

I am going to assume the 120 volt AC worked yesterday. And you have tested the 30 amp circuit at you new location to verify it is operating correctly. Have you tested the trailer end of the power cord? Frank mentioned the surge protector remote display located in the attic, but I am not sure where the remote display would be located in a 2018 Elite. If you know where the remote display is located, have you checked it? It is the first smart device that would provide useful information about the 120 volt AC power coming into the trailer and it should be checked. You could use the inverter to provide 120 volt power by inverting the 12 volt DC battery power to make a cup of coffee, but you probably would be able to run the A/C for a very short time if you have enough battery power. I guess we have more questions than answers at this point.

Sorry, but I responded to the linked post instead of the new one, so I moved it to the correct post.

I feel your pain! That looks like some of my caulking jobs. I do have a couple of new questions. Has the wet spot under the weep hole dried up or is it still a chemical spill? Did the yellowing caulk precede the ceramic coating process? Do you still believe the moisture in the closet was a result of the ceramic coating?

While I don’t have any recommendations for HH locations on the route you might be taking for your rally trip, I can say that the 6 to 8 times we used HH have all been very good experiences. They are all a little different and we don’t have any unreasonable expectations, but I’m happy at Cracker Barrel, Walmart or any other place that seems safe. Krunch likes the HH farm’s and winery’s so we have utilized them on travel days when our destination might be a long day of travel and we just cut it in half.

I recently purchased an emergency weather radio for an upcoming trip to Theodore Roosevelt NP. I am totally ignorant about weather in the upper Midwest, so it seemed like a sensible solution. I am very concerned about tornadoes and this is small enough for the tow vehicle and the Ollie. We have a different one in the house that we have grown accustomed to relying upon. The alert function might not wake me, but Krunch sleeps with one eye and both ears open, so I’m good.

Do I need to power up and pressurize the water system? I'm thinking the answer is "yes". I don't have water at my storage location.
You may need to take water with you, maybe 5 gallon’s and use the rear winterizing port to get water into the fresh water tank. And I forgot to mention a water leak hunting tool that @John E Davies shared in the past, blue paper shop towels. They really highlight water drips.

I believe at the rally demo, it was suggested to keep a check valve in the repair kit too. I just don't remember what size.
I forgot that item, so thanks for the reminder. This is the check valve I used when I replaced the original during a recent plumbing modification.

These pictures show the items in my PEX repair kit. You will have to decide what you are comfortable using. The PEX crimpers were a close out item at Lowes that I bought for $20 and I didn’t even know I needed them until I bought an Oliver. And I needed ring clamps if I was going use the crimpers. If you inventory you plumbing, you will have a better idea of what fittings you might need to do a field repair. The brass fittings that need crimp fittings are reusable so a spare is really not needed. I wouldn’t reuse the plastic fittings that insert into the PEX tubing. I certainly carry more than I need, but most of the fittings I carry are left overs from other mod’s. And I carry a couple of 5’ sticks of PEX in red and blue colors. For most people, SharkBite fittings that PEX tubing inserts into would suffice for most field repairs and a reusable SharkBite fitting like the white ones Oliver uses, require a fitting removal tool. And beware of the SharkBite fittings that are not reusable and are intended for a single use, so read the packages carefully. You will also need a PEX tubing cutter as nothing else will do the job properly. Questions?

I can’t speak to the Elite location, but my E2 inverter is mounted on the wall below the street side bed.

31 to 32" to the top of the basket. And the oval slots are 1/2" H x 1"L. My basket height measurement is actually 31-1/2 " but I am not parked on a solid surface such as concrete or asphalt so I added a little fudge factor.

There is a weep/drain hole under that cover. It and the others like it are located around the underside of the trailer. It looks like your parking space is under cover, so it shouldn’t be weather related. That mean’s there is probably a water leak inside. Is the front curbside corner the lowest part of the trailer? Is the water pump on? How much water is in the black, grey and fresh water tanks? Are you storing drinking water in bottles or jugs in the trailer. I would start troubleshooting with a bucket under the weep hole to quantify the amount of water your a dealing with. Then I would look for moisture under the rubber mat in the closet. I would also look under the kitchen drawers and bathroom vanity for signs of leakage from the faucets or drains. Let us know if you find any sign of water.

We just got power back after a 48 hours outage due to Ian. We’ve been gone a month and I have some catching up to do. Details to follow.
