Thanks Kirk! I guess I would have known that if I was shopping for a new Ollie. I am naturally attracted to shiny objects, so I try to avoid looking at sales brochures.🙈 Do you know if that was an option in before 2023? Mossey

I have a silly question concerning which department installed your 2 5/16" Bulldog coupler. If the 2 5/16" coupler was installed in the production department, I would consider that an upgrade. If it was installed in the service department, I would consider that a modification. In the past, the Oliver production department would not install the Bulldog 2 5/16 coupler as an upgrade when building a trailer. That modification was completed in the service department. The reason I point this out is because there have been complaints on this forum about Oliver’s production policy of no longer allowing custom upgrade’s as they did in the early days. And when I read your post above, I thought it might set an unrealistic expectation for someone thinking of ordering an Oliver. So can you clarify which department installed your coupler? Mossey

This Link covers my Dometic A/C Drain Leak Repair. Mossey

As we say in Florida, "When your up to your butt in alligators, it’s hard to remember your objective was to drain the swamp". The Honda EU2000i will provide enough power for most things in the trailer with the exception of the air conditioner unless your Ollie has a EZStart installed. You will have to manage your power consumption and not overload the generator as JD mentioned above. Mossey

The solar system will not effect the operation of the generator. The Ollie should act just like it does when you are plugged into shore power. Mossey

I assume you have never connected the generator to your OTT based on your question. Do you have a neutral bonding plug and an adapter plug for the trailer power cord to plug into the 120v outlet on the generator? Mossey

The tools needed to install SharkBite fittings and PEX pipe are a PEX pipe cutter and a SharkBite fitting. The tools needed to remove SharkBite fittings are Disconnect Clips or Disconnect Tongs, which are SharkBite products and are pipe size dependent. SharkBite makes 3 different types of fittings and those branded EvoPEX are not reusable. You just cut the pipe and throw the fitting away. SharkBite’s warranty specifically states that it applies to SharkBite pipe used with their fittings. Mossey

Hull #193 came factory equipped with a Dometic fridge and a single fan that is controlled from a switch in the main panel in the entryway. My B+ power comes from the bottom of the fridge up to the thermostat and continues up to the switch. The second switch wire completes the circuit back to the fan. The negative wire also comes from the bottom of the,fridge and runs directly to the fan. You may not have access to the bottom of your fridge, but I have two removable vent panels. There may be additional DC power already at the switch panel, but it’s simple run from the attic to the entry switch panel if you need it. Mossey

So how is Uga doing this summer? Mossey

My 6" inspection hatch in the propane tank housing is really discolored and this hatch would certainly be an upgrade. Maybe after I win a lottery! Mossey

Another excellent write up, thank you! I have had my slide tray out for a re-paint after a battery leak, so I wholeheartedly agree with working the support bolts under the battery box is a challenging endeavor. Four hands to make doable. You detailed instructions will be help someone in the future, so kudos to y’all in the great northwest! Mossey

@Jenna King’s Ransom How very apropos! Mossey

I couldn’t have said better myself! Mossey

What pictures? That’s much better👏👏👏. The pictures are great, thanks for posting. Mossey

On a positive note, it’s great that both Dexter and Oliver are being proactive about the issue. I know you waited a long time to pickup the Eggcelsior and now you have to wait a little longer to use as you would like to,bummer. Mossey

Pete, what is the black pole by pine tree used for? TV or internet or just wet clothes? Mossey

I will add that my 100w Renogy suitcase with charge controller and an extra 20’ 10A cable weighs in at 31 pounds. Mossey

Thank you for the additional details. The more details you share, the more impressive your modification becomes! Mossey

Wow! That’s a very nice installation and your antenna mount is exceptional. I do love your creativity. Does the PEPWAVE antenna require a ground plane or is it built in? Thanks for posting your successful modification. Mossey

I only have a few months and about 1500 miles with a hanging shower head, so for me it’s just an excuse to use another noodle. Mossey

My Seaflo hatch was listed as 12x24". My existing hole was wide enough but not tall enough. So I enlarged the hole with a multi tool. I also used nuts and bolts to attach it. The curve of the vanity face required careful tightening of the hatch. I constantly checked the latch’s operation as I tightened the hardware. The sides will have a little more gap than the top and bottom and that’s why I used the butyl tape, which has a little more body than silicone caulk. Mossey

I covered the area to be drilled with blue masking tape. Then I did my layout on the masking tape and then used a hole saw and drilled in reverse. Worked pretty good with new drill bits. Mossey

This photo shows the stock LE2 bath plumbing that matches my 2017. The red and blue PEX lines exiting the right side of the photo go to the faucet/shower fixture. The blue PEX exiting the left side is the toilet supply as the text in the photo SNY SD UP posted indicates. Mossey

Tooletries I think I have 5 white ones and 4 grey ones and 2 black hooks. The white show a little dirt but it usually washes off. No dirt on the gray or black ones. No tears, fraying or hard water, soap scum spots or discoloring. Ask your wife if she has any silicone hot pads or maybe a dish drying mat. If so, she’ll vouch for how tough they are. If she doesn’t have any silicone kitchen products, maybe you can kick the tires with silicone hot pad at the nearest kitchen gadget store. They are very robust. Mossey

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