Ya mean I have to look for another subtle reference? DagNabbit

That was very subtle! I never made the connection before. Mossey

Just so you know, I thought Grace was spectacular in Conan The Destroyer! Mossey

And we were looking forward to seeing you again as well as your new trailer. Have a good time at Expo West and maybe 2023 will be the year you get back to Guntersville State Park. Mossey

11-27 to 11-30, 2021 Eastbank COE campground near Bainbridge, GA. Very nice campground with clean facilities and grounds. And the heated shower house was a bonus as the low temps were 50, 34 and 37 our 3 mornings there. Mossey

11-10-2021 Overnight stop while traveling. White Oak Creek COE campground near Eufaula, AL. Very typical for COE campgrounds. It is clean, waterfront and cheap for old people. And they even had the heat on in the shower building. Sweet. Mossey

I guess it’s time for me to try selling my Ollie! I probably won’t be able to find anybody that wants to buy a used trailer with an air conditioner that nobody likes, but it does keep me cool when I use it. Not to mention the junk brake system that left skid marks when I made a hard stop last week. And the Andersen WD hitch ball has some chrome worn off, maybe I should replace it before it kills a potential sale. But wait a minute! My Ollie is the only RV I have ever owned, which also makes it the best RV I have ever owned! So maybe I’ll just keep it, warts and all. What I should probably do is stay off the forum and avoid all of the expert opinions trying to convince me that I bought a piece of poop. I think I’ll just make a better effort to remember my mother’s sage advice, “if you don’t have something nice to say, keep your mouth shut". Maybe I’ll join Facebook, I heard it’s a great place to get information and I just might find somebody like me, that likes their Ollie! Sorry, I do know the rules for capitalizing some words, but I think may be a form of shouting, so I left those out. And if I offended someone, I didn’t mean to, I was just going with the flow of the postings that stuck in my mind today. Peace, Out! Mossey

🤢 I always thought this emoji represented envy and every time I felt envious, maybe it was really jealousy. Mossey

I would conduct a water leak test around the outside light fixture above the window. Mossey

That’s when you test the air conditioning system. 😊 Mossey

I was born in Florida a long time ago and I have never seen of a June bug that I am aware of. We do have Lovebugs the arrive in May and again in September that will leave a windshield looking like that though. The Lovebug has been in Florida since the 1940's, but really became a nuisance in the early 70's as I remember it. Mossey And this is how they usually look after "hooking up"😍

Very eloquently put, as usual for RB. Mossey

I believe you can only apply for the tax credit once, so plan accordingly and save 21% or 26%, whatever the credit is for 2021. And don’t let me spend your money for you, do as much as you can this year and save some money. Mossey

My 2017 LE2 PD4045 charger module was not lithium compatible, so I replaced it with a 45 Amp lithium compatible module. Have you verified that yours is not lithium ready. And if you haven’t already researched the increased AC and DC load requirements, I think you should verify that the wiring and other components of the 12V DC circuit will in fact be suitable for a 15 Amp upgrade and the 120 AC feed for the increased load. I don’t have a DC to DC charger but JD mounted his under the street side bed so heat may not be an issue. I don’t remember if Galway Girl experienced any excessive heat issues with their install. When I installed three BB batteries, I followed Overland’s example and removed all wiring in the battery box except the main 12V B+ and ground and the temperature wire for the Victron 712. And I don’t have any advice about SCC heat output other than the Zamp SCC isn’t a large heat source and it is installed in a very small cubby above the radio. The heat from both of them combined was not a worry for me. God luck and have fun with your upgrades and additions, Mossey

I agree with VBistro about the weight difference. I’m not worried about the storage weight as much as having to handle the 200W suitcase. Personally I would rather handle a couple of 100W suitcases. When I mentioned 2 individual ports, I was referring to both being on the street side, one fore and one aft of the battery box. A few years back, Raspy mounted his port in the battery box door and he was happy with it. I mounted one Furion port forward of the battery box for my 100W suitcase. I am not sure if I would like a solar panel plugged into the wall of my front porch although it would be easier to move and follow the sun and I could keep a better eye on the suitcase and it’s sun exposure from my easy chair. Wow, I am getting lazy. What are your plans for the SCC? You mentioned a second suitcase without a SCC. Mossey

The triple port version is the same product Oliver installs as part of their solar package and the connector is the same as the single solarport you referenced above. The only difference is the plastic or ABS housing. If you like the Furion Solar Port just install two of those, maybe one on each side of the battery box. Are you going to combine the output of both suitcase panels into a single SCC before connecting to whichever port/ports you decide on? Mossey

I would certainly follow AndrewK's advice above. The following screenshots are from the SeeLevel II manual. It looks like there are 2 power wires to the panel. One for the display and one for the pump and the pump circuit is working ok. The picture below shows the character in your picture and it’s a T. And the solution is to see the wiring diagnostic section. Seems like good place to start since you reinstalled the batteries. You should be able to access the back of the display through the pantry to verify the panel wiring connector. This last picture picture references frozen or unresponsive displays. Good luck! Mossey

Do you have a SoftStart or a Micro-Air EasyStart? I believe Oliver is installing the EasyStart but SoftStart is doing a lot of advertising and the products look identical. And I read this on the internet "SoftStart was started by an ex Micro-Air employee" so it must be true.😉 So I was curious if you are using a generic term or a business name. Mossey

The stud size is 3/8” according to the spec sheet for a Monroe 565025 Gas-Magnum 65 Shock Absorber which was original equipment on my 2017 LE2. I think saving the original bushing washers would be a better option than a fender washer. So maybe I’ll save my old ones when I replace the shocks. There is a link to the complete product page at the bottom.

I will try to answer this question, but since I am a short person at 6' even or at least I used to be, old age seems to shorten most of us. The shower pan is 24" wide X 22" deep. The measurements are 73-1/8" at the door and 67" at the sink. Say what? The shower is at the front of the trailer and the curve of the front roof/ceiling accounts for the difference. Is it tall enough for you? That’s your decision, but I will say it’s better than a sink bath. My wife claims to 5' tall and she would like more water pressure and an unlimited supply of water, but it works for both of us. I know of some tall Oliver owners and their solution is to sit on the toilet while showering. My twin beds measure 30" wide and 76-3/4” along the aisle and 68” along the wall. Again the curve of the sidewall to the end of the trailer is curved. I am a side sleeper so it works for me and we started with the large bed and hated changing the configuration each night. We tried sleeping on the benches but that didn’t work either as they were not wide enough for me, but worked for my wife. One last comment about beds, take a look at Southern Mattress. They are in North Carolina and shipped our beds to Oliver for us. The have made quite a few beds for other Oliver owners and we are completely satisfied with ours. They will make a bed with just about any material combination you want. Our beds are about 9" tall and are quite comfortable. Sheets? We use the fitted twins we had. Can you bounce a quarter on them after making them? No! But we just tuck in the extra along the wall. Some owners for go sheets altogether and use sleeping bags on top of whatever blanket or bed spread they choose. We cut a king or queen size spread in half to make two twin spreads. Mossey

Well I guess that glowing endorsement fooled me into thinking someone had found something better than sliced bread. Maybe I’ll wait for Overland to try them out, cause he buys that 3M stuff by the case.😃 Mossey

If all OTTO's bought a 2 pack, we would probably put 3M out of business. I usually just throw my partial tubes of any 3M caulk in the garbage. I have found that trying to save them is really frustrating. I have them on my short list. Thanks topgun2, Mossey

Say your prayers because Steve and Tali need them. Mossey

I just found some information on the TST website that sheds a little light on how their system works. Below is a snippet of the information available at their website. Mossey https://tsttruck.com/how-it-works The monitor continually sequences through the sensors displaying each tires pressure and temperature. In the event an anomaly is detected, the monitor locks onto that sensor emitting an audible alarm and a textual description of the issue (fast leak, low pressure, high temperature).

It’s pretty flimsy material so it would be best to have some internal support for the duct. Maybe disconnect it at the point closest to the tear and work your hand/arm or something similar into the duct while applying the foil tape. Mossey
