I am sure C&M Currie will respond with more information about this mod, but until then I have included a plumbing and electrical diagram from the 2017 LE2 manual to help you focus on the what it might entail. Mossey Plumbing Diagram Wiring Diagram

Thank you for the information! Mossey

Did you winterize? 😂 Mossey

Did you get the replacement glass from Oliver? And I must add "excellent caulking job" on the outer frame! Which caulk did you use? Mossey

I know it’s early, but this is my favorite for post of the year. It’ great to see the widespread participation. The history lessons are really just memories for a lot of us. Thanks Mainiac for getting the ball rolling! Mossey

Jason, Thank you for the update and clarification! It is always good to hear explanations concerning changes to Oliver Travel Trailer production from the service department. Mossey

We have a 120v duplex outlet, a cigarette lighter outlet and a USB port on both sides of our nightstand. I have kicked and broken a couple of USB connectors while sleeping, so we only use the ones on Krunch’s side. As some of you know, she’s short enough that her feet can’t reach them while sleeping.😉 Mossey

All of my zerks are oriented to the inside of the frame. So I use a creeper and the only trouble spot for me is getting my belly under the axles.🤔 Mossey

GJ This is a picture of the Dometic A/C drain kit instructions. The 14" square gasket in your picture of the drain kit is used in addition to the existing 14" gasket around the hull penetration with a notch cut into the original to allow passage of the drain tube from the cups to the internal drain tube. The 2 straight gaskets are stacked at the rear of the base plate to level to unit. Mossey

Thanks Jason! We have traveled through Oregon but never camped there. I’ll have to keep the article handy for planning future camping adventures. Mossey

Is the trickle charger an external unit that connects directly to the batteries? Have you verified that the trickle charger does in fact shut off when the batteries reach a fully charged condition? A lot of the trickle chargers simply reduce their output when the battery is fully charged. Will you turn off the Oliver 12v charging function? Mossey

The only shrinkage I have noticed with the Pelland Enterprises replacement seal is in the length. So when you are cutting a replacement, try not to stretch the seal and cut it long. If it is too long to install then you will have some left to trim. Mossey

Wow! What a difference 18 hours make. Stay safe! Mossey

You best bet would to be look at the label on the bottom side of the original panels. The label should look like the picture below, but have different values. Search online for a PWM solar charge controller calculator if you are going to use the stock Zamp controller. Or multiply the Short Circuit Current / Isc value by 1.25 to find the max amperage value you need to account for. Mossey

The Honda’s require a neutral/ground bonding plug that is inserted into the generator outlet that is not supplying power to the trailer. Search YouTube for Mike Sokol. He has some valuable information. Mossey

Are you using a generator bonding plug in your generator? Mossey

👍👍👍👍👍 Mossey

Thank you for displaying the courage to admit your limitations and taking a proactive approach! Mossey

I certainly don’t like being screamed at, but the backup assist seems like a useful feature. Mossey

My apologies for confusing courtesy and porch lights! Mossey

I do not have any knowledge of the Houghton installation procedure, so I think that question should be directed to the Houghton owners that have completed their own installation. You would have a better chance of receiving answers from that group. Mossey

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. Mossey

This is some Oliver provided information. Mossey

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? Mossey

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. Mossey
