FrankC, the above link will also take you to the post Connor77 referred you to by NCeagle. Mossey

This is the product I used to seal the bath vanity deck hatch when I replaced the stock vanity access cover. Mossey

Would you provide the towing and cargo capacity of your Ram 1500 for guidance purposes? Mossey

That’s just an area that could use a pool noodle! Mossey

And a pretty good one too. Mossey

Do you have a fuse? If your in Florida, stop by. If not, I can send you one. Mossey

The fuse is the fat part of the wiring in or near the fan assembly. The fan is also the best place for voltage, just check on both side of the fuse. The MaxxAir fan runs on the same circuit. Is it working? The thermal fuse looks like this. And if I remember correctly, it is enclosed in shrink wrap. Mossey

I think you need to adjust your camera. I use mine extensively for lane change planning and execution in either direction. Mossey

Some more of that Yankee Ingenuity. You da man! Mossey

Thanks John! I am beginning to understand the way Oliver is handling the DC side of the Xantrex. And I might be able to help someone else. Mossey

Thank you for closing the loop on your issue. That information will help someone in the future! Mossey

Hey John how’s it going? Have y’all been camping since the rally or are you hiding in the air conditioning like I am? I’ll jump back in and ask for more information. I still haven’t heard back from Katjo concerning my 4/0 cable lug question, so I’ll ask you if you are saying that you originally had a 4/0 cable connected to the frame ground stud and running straight to the battery negative? If so, that may be a wiring change to accommodate the Xantrex Freedom XC Pro series of charger/inverters. I know you have done extensive work to your solar setup and although I haven’t seen the work you have completed, your comment leads me to believe that you have installed a battery shunt. Maybe I should approach this from a different direction and ask if you have a Xantrex Freedom XC Pro and if so, what is the difference between your original installation and the drawing below? Mossey

I guess that is called "Yankee Ingenuity" in Connecticut.😄 Mossey

These lights should be very close to a direct replacement but would require cutting the old wires and splicing these in. There are two version's, screw mount and spring mount. If you have the correct size hole, the spring mounted lights are very easy to install, but my lights are screw mounted. I am not sure if ITC is the brand of interior lights Oliver is using or not, but my porch lights were/are ITC brand. Mossey https://itcshopnow.com/collections/rv-products

I hear you loud and clear! Mossey

We have a Land Cruiser. I am presently trying to talk myself out of the new Tundra. The cargo capacity numbers are a little hard to come by, mostly because I am really interested in the hybrid. As they become more common, there will be more information available. All the dealers want to talk about is how expensive they are going to be. So we are biding our time or I should say that I am, she doesn’t really care.

I very rarely, if ever offer anyone advice about spending their money, but I will offer myself as an example. I bought my used Toyota SUV in 2016, knowing that I was going to buy an Oliver LEII, which I did in 2018. The reason for choosing a Toyota was based upon past experience and I like dependable products and it has a towing capacity of 8100 lbs and a cargo capacity of 1295 lbs. That’s not a lot of capacity in the grand scheme of travel trailer towing, but we make it work. What I didn’t know was that I would need a weight distribution hitch. But my Toyota owners manual states that it is required if it used to tow any trailer weighing more that 5000 lbs. I trust Toyota’s engineering, so a WDH is part of my towing equipment. I compare the Andersen WDH to shoes. I love wearing flip flops, but when I’m cutting the grass, I’ve got my boots on. So if my tow vehicle requires a WDH, it’s incumbent upon me to learn how to use it. So please do not let anyone scare you away from using the Andersen WDH if your tow vehicle requires it. And please verify the towing, cargo and tongue weight capacities of any vehicle you are thinking about purchasing. Do not trust someone else’s assurances that a given vehicle will be just fine towing a travel trailer. The capacity information is posted on each vehicle, usually on the drivers door jamb. Happy hunting, Mossey

@Mike D. thanks for the clarification. Maybe Katjo will comment on his picture and let us know if the 4/0 lug in his picture was original or part of the recent repair and what the other end is connected to. Mossey

Are you referring to the yellow wire connected to the right end of the ground Buss bar? That cable does not look large enough to be a 4/0 cable which has an O.D. of 13/16". One of Katjo’s pictures showed a 4/0 x 5/16" lug connected to the frame ground, which prompted my question. Mossey

Since I only have my Oliver to compare to, I have a couple of questions to ask to the forum group. The repair pictures show what has been identified as liquid tape. Does anyone else have liquid tape on their frame ground stud or connections? My second question concerns the 4/0 x 5/16” lug attached to the ground stud. Does anyone also have a 4/0 ground cable connected to the frame ground? Are these now common methods on units coming from the factory? Mossey

I would also suggest a visit to Stanley Park in downtown Vancouver if possible. It is similar to Central Park, a little larger and bordered by water on three sides. But don’t take your Ollie, it’s in the city. Mossey

Krunch and I stayed at Lake Powhatan for a night in April of 2021 on our way to Virginia. It is a very nice campground that we plan to revisit in the future. I picked it because it was close enough to have dinner with topgun2 and his wife, which he bought. It was a win win campground for us. If for no other reason than it’s our turn to buy, we’re going back! Mossey

First off, let me say that I do not have any practical experience troubleshooting the Truma AquaGo. I do have one but I have never had any issues with. If you looked up the error code, I assume you have the manual. I wonder what item 4a does? It is located right next to the EPS, so it may be a method to test the EPS. Mossey

Thank you for the very honest and descriptive review. And it takes a very big person to admit a $900 mistake, kudos to you! I have a feeling about how frugal you and Paul are from previous posts on this forum and I know y’all put a lot of thought into your decision which must make it a bitter pill to swallow. I have a feeling that you will make it work in time even if you don’t share with visitors again. I still haven’t heard anyone talk about their mobile installation disposal methods which should be a different issue from a barn installation. Mossey

Thank you David! All the best to you and Susan. And I think you forgot this sunset picture from the 2018 rally. Mike and Krunch
