Congratulations! See you in May. Mossey

This link is to a member who has sold their Oliver, but they were based around Salt Lake City, Utah. Read the post "Seeing Ollie in the Best Possible Light" for Utah camping inspiration. https://olivertraveltrailers.com/forums/profile/807-davids/content/ Mossey

The large 7 wire cable enters the hull under the bathroom sink so there isn’t anywhere outside to test. Oliver’s wiring schematic’s are pretty accurate color wise, so I believe you should start looking under the sink or the front dinette seat for the green wire leaving the large bundle of wires in wire loom.

@SteveCr My bad! The answer was only 4 postings up. Thank you once again for the information. Mossey

@SteveCr Thank you for answering my question! So now I have more questions. You may have already stated who did your installation or I may have forgotten who did it. I’m guessing it was Truma in Orlando or Elkhart. You have a 2021 LE2 which I assume came equipped with a Dometic A/C and the Dometic drain kit. Did the Truma kit tie into the Dometic kit Oliver installed? Thank you for your patience with my questions, but I will say that condensate draining onto the roof was/is more of a concern for me than the noise so many complain about. And I think that’s why Baskin Robbins has so many flavors of ice cream, there’s something for everyone! Mossey

The highlighted text makes me wonder if an internal drain system similar to the Dometic or a variation of it is used by the Truma, as well as condensate dripping onto the roof. Is this a correct assumption? Mossey

I believe I have circled the marker lights in red in the attachment. If someone has a different thought, please share it. Mossey

I haven’t had the opportunity to work on any of the marker lights, but I believe someone on the forum, maybe topgun2, mentioned that the lights are installed from the outside and pushed into place. Is that the case? Mossey

Are you referring to the round amber dots located on all 8 corners? I say all 8 corners because the dots are both high and low. I understand it is just the curb side, but the round dots do not have a switch. They are powered by the 7 pin connector attached to the tow vehicle. Mossey

Excellent procedural write up! I had forgotten Ken’s Nova Kool installation posting. Thank you both for sharing you experiences. And the thermal switch you are thinking about was part of my refrigerator fan replacement project and has been in service for over 2 years. It’s a winner! Mossey

Can you provide a bigger picture showing the location in the trailer and what I assume is the charge controller? Mossey

Sounds like another vote for LT’s! Mossey

Great advice! Glad you caught it before you got under way. Do you use a TPMS? Let me know where you find a deal! Mossey

👏👏👏👏 Couldn’t have said it any better myself! Mossey

I carry a multi meter for all types of troubleshooting. These 3 items are my go to tools for testing any new power pole we connect to which may have 15A, 30A or 50A service. Mossey

What type of power outlets does your pole offer? I assume you are plugged into a 30 amp outlet. Do you have any adapters for your 30 amp power cord that would allow you to connect to a 15 amp or a 50 amp outlet? If so, try your portable surge protector in those outlets. Can you verify any nearby outlets that are correctly wired? Did you just arrive at this location? Was everything working at the last location? Can you move to a different spot in the campground? I know that’s a lot of questions, I’m just trying to qualify your issue. In other words, is it an Ollie problem or is it the power pole you are connected to? Mossey

Is your GFCI outlet tripped? Mossey

My fan switch is located on the main switch panel just inside the door. I don’t know why they stopped, but I do know they are located differently in some trailers. You can always add your own as some others have done. Mossey

Try Rivernerd’s Google search "Oliver converter inverter" above and then try "site:olivertraveltrailers.com forum converter inverter", with forum converter inverter being the search words you are looking for at olivertraveltrailers.com. Then compare the results. There is an old saying about computers "garbage in, garbage out" which means that the computer will give you just what you ask for. And a ‘thank you’ goes out to DavidS, who shared the specific site:Oliver travel trailers.com a few years back. Mossey

Yes it does need to be raised enough to remove the screws that the cups are attached with. You can see the screws in Steve’s picture. I flipped mine over on its back while it was still on the roof. That made it a little easier to remove the old gasket and sealant. But before removing or raising the AC, you should remove the plastic evaporator cover under the foam insulation. That will allow you troubleshoot a little further. It is attached with press in tabs around the perimeter and a few screws. I was then able to use a measuring cup to put water into the drain channels to pinpoint the leak. Mossey

I was referring to my Oliver OEM external fan. I have replaced both the fan and the thermostat. My add-on internal fan runs all of the time. Mossey

I, on the other hand leave my fan switched on 24/7 365 and let the thermostat decide when to run it or not. Mossey

I noticed AC condensate water dripping off the rear curb side roof at a COE campground along the Arkansas River and chalked it up the the high humidity we were experiencing. The next day we were at Choctaw Lake in Mississippi and the water started running off over the curb side window. After experimenting with leveling the trailer, I found that when the curb side was low, the water ran off that side. I could move the runoff water to the rear by raising the nose. And best of all , I could stop all roof runoff by raising the curb side and all of the water drained from condensate drain tube. We did some troubleshooting at home and found that water would leak from the curb side condensate drain cup whenever the curb side was low. I finally found a posting on the Airstream forum about installing the drain pan kit. I ordered the kit and an extra foam gasket. I completed the drain kit installation when I gained access to a shop and could take my time removing the AC and find out the source of the leak, which was a broken nipple on the curb side drain cup. I don’t know if this will have any bearing on your issue, but I know my troubleshooting took me in a different direction than I was heading in at the very start. Mossey

Planning is not my strong point so I’ll have to take your word on that! I just take life one hill at a time. Mossey

If there are campers lined up behind us at the dump station, instead of rinsing the black tank, we just dump a bucket of water into the toilet with our normal mix of a cap full of Calgon water softener and a cap full of Dawn dish soap and do a complete black tank rinse at the next opportunity. If I am patient while waiting in line, I expect the same from those behind us. It also gives us a chance to start our dump procedure. I do try to check out the dump site while I coming into the campground so I have an idea of what to expect when my turn comes. I have even gone into a dump from the wrong direction when the slope of the drive would leave me tail high and it was beyond the reach of the front jack. Most RV’s dump from the middle, so the slope may not be a challenge for them. The main thing to remember is go slow and think it through. Mossey
