I don’t believe that I said I broke a ramp 😁 and I’m not sure if Trainman did either, although I do believe he did. That’s why I ask the question. Mossey

Please indulge my question as I often become confused when reading the original post and then the responses make me question my thoughts: Are you referring to this Andersen product? Because I think Steph and Dud B are referencing this product. Andersen has replaced 3 different products that I have broken, but I did have my receipts. Mossey

Do you have the Micro-Air EasyStart on your air conditioner? Did you fix it or a service center? Mossey

Ok, it's silly question time! Have you verified where the leak is in the door seal? Is it possible that the leak is elsewhere and pooling by the door? Mossey

Do the newer Ollie’s equipped with the Xantrex Freedom XC inverter/chargers have a separate breaker for the battery charging circuit like the Ollie’s equipped with the Xantrex PROWatt inverters and the Progressive Dynamic's converter/charger? Or is the charging circuit controlled by software? Mossey

I do not have the factory lithium option in my 2017 LEII, it wasn’t available in 2017 and I bought my Ollie used. But I do have lithium batteries now, because of a lead acid battery failure which I blame on myself. And I like tinkering with my stuff. If I had a boat, motorcycle, classic car or any of the assorted toys that we can afford, it would be the same. I like tinkering and I can always find something I would change if it is something I am capable of tackling. I do not like to help people spend their money and I am not sure what that $9500 would buy anyway. I have never made any money on my choices in anything I use for recreational endeavor’s. My needs and wants are my own and I have to burden those choices my self. As you know, there are a lot of people that believe Oliver’s are over priced compared to a Casita, Scamp or any of the other travel trailers available, except maybe Airstreams. I would ask if this is your first RV, what type of camping you intend to do and where that camping will be. It may help other owners answer this question. Sorry I couldn’t be more help and I hope I haven’t added to the stress of your battery choices. And I really do like the Morton’s YouTube channel. They have great content are very transparent about their sponsors. Mossey

Reed and Karen Lukens have posted their LEII for sale on Fiberglass RV. Mossey

Thank you for the very nice write up on your antenna adventure! It should help others with troubleshooting their own antenna issues. And you are now the in house Magnadyne antenna SME. Mossey

After reading Mr Truck's WDH preferences, I also wondered how he distinguished a light or heavy trailer. But that really doesn’t matter as long as I know the GVWR/TWR. My SUV has a 14400 GCWR and a 8100 lb. GVWR/TWR and it requires trailer brakes if the GVWR/TWR is more than 1000 lbs., a sway control device if the GVWR/TWR is over 2000 lbs. and a WDH if the GVWR/TWR is over 5000 lbs. My utility has a TWR of 3500 lbs. and no brake's, so I break rule #1 and #2 every time I use it. Ollie left the factory at a slim 5180 lbs. and a GVWR/TWR of 7000 lbs., so I can add 1820 lbs. of cargo to the trailer. And following the 80/20 rule, that's 80% for her and 20% for me. So I think the difference between a light and heavy trailer depends on your tow vehicle. And in my case, both of my trailers are heavy. Mossey

I do not know why they changed hitches, but my best guess is that both hitches were promotional items provided free of charge. I do believe that everyone on YouTube with more than 100 videos, is doing it for promotional or income related purposes. And I don't remember ever seeing a "truth in advertising statement" on YouTube. Mossey

The original post is the first reference I have ever seen to fuse F52. Where is the fuse located and is it specific to the Xantrex Freedom XC 2000/3000 inverter/charger installations? Mossey

Thanks Sherry, I just watched this video today and as usual, Will presents information in a manner I can follow. Good stuff, Mossey

Try either of these search methods. Mossey

The basics! It's all about safety And let me be clear about any information I provide below. I have not looked at any battery installations on Ollie's newer than 2017, so if any knowledgeable OTTO's with 2021 or 2022 model Ollie’s that see anything I have wrong, please chime in with any current information. The first thing I would like to say is that you should never ever enlarge the hole in a cable lug/connector. And you should never ever use a cable lug/connector with a hole that is larger than the stud you are connecting to. And make sure that any equipment you install is capable of the battery load you have. The battery disconnects in your pictures are probably designed for single car or truck batteries. Disconnecting either the 4/0 positive or negative cables that pass through the battery box wall into the inside of the lower hull should break the battery connection. That would still leave solar positive and negative cable connected to the batteries and the same may apply to the battery charger section of the Xantrex equipment. Mossey

Can you elaborate on your attempt to install a cutoff switch. Maybe some pictures as well. Mossey

No! The TST support team is who I was referring to. Sorry about the confusion. Mossey

Born and raised in Florida! Never would have thought about a heater. Mossey

Make note of the support phone number just in case you have any questions. They are excellent! Mossey

Very good eye! I am looking forward to the answer. Mossey

JD suggested JB Weld to me about 2 years ago. And I have had very good success with it since then and as he mentioned, the self life is excellent even in Florida, where the 3M product's last a month if I’m lucky. I order the large size tubes from Home Depot. So I’m nominating him for president of the JB Weld fan club of which I am a member. Mossey

We purchased a used 2017 LE2 with the standard bed and used that bed for one trip. We left the table at home on the second trip. We experimented with different sleeping arrangements and as a 6' side sleeper, the rear bench worked best for me. Krunch claims to be 5' but I don't believe it, so she could sleep on either side or the dinette. And the dogs are just happy to be touching one of us while they sleep, so they had multiple choices. After the third trip, we made an appointment to take it back to Hohenwald for a twin bed conversion and we have never looked back. I believe that the standard bed takes up about 40% of the square footage and made the three rear cabinets very difficult to access for both of us and we didn’t enjoy the twice a day bed to table change over. And if you upgraded the standard mattress, you are pretty much locked into leaving to bed up 100% of the time. There are multiple OTTO's that have made the twin bed into a standard bed for temporary usage, such as camping with grandkids. Check out the option Mike and Carol created, allowing the very clever use of modified dinette cushions to fill in the gap. Mossey

How’s the new 2022 Tundra working out? Which model did you get? Please share any details about the truck you care to. Mossey

The Many Glacier area of the park is our favorite and it is close to Waterton Townsite. It has excellent hiking like the Ptarmigan Trail/Ptarmigan Tunnel trail which we picked up behind the Swiftcurrent Motor Lodge. If you make it to the tunnel, the view on the other side is pretty special. The Red Buses are a great way to see the park if you are a designated driver, you can actual see what everyone else in your vehicle gets to see. And don’t miss the pie’s at the Park Cafe in St. Mary’s. Mossey

The Crypt Lake Trail is an excellent hike and don’t let Bill discourage you from trying it. And an alternative hike that is a little less strenuous, but about 4 miles longer and much less crowded, involves taking the boat ride to Goat Haunt Ranger Station, which is actually back in the US and Glacier NP. Disembark at the ranger station and hike back to Waterton Townsite following the west side of Waterton Lake. If you are lucky enough to be camping in town, you’ll end up back at the campground. And if hiking isn’t your thing, just take the boat ride, you won’t be disappointed. Mossey
