The picture of your PD panel label shows you have a 45 amp charger. If you turn of breaker 6 in the PD panel which is labeled charger, it will kill all of your 12v in the trailer as well as the charger circuit. Your battery box looks pretty typical for a LE2. Just make sure that the 3 red cable terminals coming into the battery box are taped up very well before traveling. You don’t want cables flopping around while you are driving. I believe the cable coming into the box on the bottom right is the 3rd red cable, but I can’t see it to be positive. Good luck and let us know if you have any more questions, Mossey

Since I am cheaper than Overland, I’m retired and he isn’t, I vote for a Battleborn battery or two or three. If you do decide to buy a "cheap" battery, try Walmart. Buy buddy swears by their deep cell lead acid batteries. Reno looks like a 10 hour trip so I don’t think it’s that convenient if your heading to Flagstaff, but as Overland suggest, call Battleborn first. You are in their neighborhood and they should be able to provide some guidance. Your Zamp charge controller should have lithium and lead acid settings, my 2017 LE2 did. Your PD charger may support a lithium setting with a jumper change, you need the serial number and confirm that with PD. Their support team is top notch and will steer you in the right direction. Did your camping neighbor check for voltage in the battery box during battery removal. You may need to turn off a breaker or two if there is still voltage on the battery cables. And post some pictures of your battery box wiring so we can offer wiring support for your new battery choice if you need it. I attached a Zamp manual below.

This picture is from a 2017 LE2 and it’s the inside of the attic with the installation pulled down. The cable from the camera to the connector is less than 18" from the roof penetration. Mossey

Thank you for the excellent write up! Mossey

Well you have less than 30 days before the mini rally. If you don’t get finished before then, bring it with you and we can give you hand or two.👏👏 Mossey

I have a Truma Instant Water Heater so it is different than yours. But there was a recent post about a water pump problem and there was a picture that I believe might help. Mossey

Can you clarify this statement? The pump is obviously on but there is no demand for water and the pump is losing pressure very, very slowly is my best guess. And my best guesses generally get me in trouble. Nice diagnosis on the air in the system! Mossey

Now what are you going to do about getting the Christmas tree and Rubbermaid tubs off the top shelf?😁 Mossey

I would try JD's suggestion before anything else. If you do not understand what he means about filling the supply line, please ask for clarification. Now I have another question. Does the pump run when you turn it on and open a faucet? I reread your original post and you did say the pump was on and I assume you could hear the pump running and you did use the rear port to draw in the vinegar solution to clean the system. Mosssey

I edited your photo to add port designations for clarification. I can’t see all of the piping in the picture, but I assume that port A goes to the filter/suction side of the pump. And port B is closed by the valve, so port C should be from the fresh water tank. I can not be sure that port C is in fact from the fresh water tank or where port B goes or comes from. Can you verify the piping for ports B and C under the heating duct? It may be the the valve is in the incorrect position. Mossey

Try the search term in the picture below. Mossey

Very nice mod that reminded me of this previous post. Mossey

Thank you Paul! I saw a post this morning about traveling in cold weather and SeaDog responded with a link to your heater duct mod. After reading it, I realized I missed your original post or maybe I just forgot it. And I will add that it was very informative and nicely done. Mossey

Nicely done but I have to ask, what’s the coiled duct work for? Is that heat for camping up north? Mossey

The product is EZE RV Gutter. Use the search function for the term gutter and you will find more information than you need. Mossey

This sounds like a classic case of “he said, he said”. Mossey

I didn’t think Mike and Carol were coming!🤔 Mossey

My 2017 has 2-160 watt panels that are original equipment. The panels are attached to the AM Solar mounting feet with the same spring nuts as shown in your pictures. If the frames are the same on the old and new panels, which I can’t tell with you pictures, I believe the difference may be the mounting feet. Oliver used AM Solar mounting equipment on NCeagle's original panels and he used different mounts for the new Obsidian panel. It’s hard to see in NCeagle's picture, but it looks like the 1/4” bolt is visible going up through the clamp and into the spring nut which is in the t-slot in the bottom of the rail. Mossey

Looking forward to breaking bread with everyone. Mossey

My thumb of course! Mossey

Thanks Overland! I’m not sure I’m up for arthroscopic surgery on the black tank. Mossey

I often resorted to a piece of common nylon cord and 2 sticks for handles to cut PVC pipe that was inaccessible to saws or cutters. It’s not easy but it is doable. Mossey

I do not have a composting toilet so there is a lot about them that I don’t know. But the one thing I do know and that’s the exhaust tubing is the ugliest thing in an Oliver. I always thought that if I moved to a composting toilet, I would try running the tubing through the floor and over to the vanity. Now I’ll ask if that’s even feasible? Looking at Overland’s pictures, I can’t tell if there is room to run the tubing along the grey water drain pipe back below the toilet. Mossey

I am known for asking silly questions, so please don’t be offended. When I look at the 2017 plumbing diagrams, I don’t see how the water from the city water inlet can reach the freshwater tank unless the valves are in the wrong configuration, they are defective or it is flowing backwards through the pump. Am I missing something? Mossey
