I moved my television to the center mount location in March 2019 for many of the same reasons mentioned in this post. I used Mike and Carol's suggestion of a door knob protector to cover the old wiring hole into the attic. I did not like the looks of the door knob protector because the mounting tape was too thick and it left a noticeable gap between the protector and the fiberglass. So I went back to Amazon and bought a 2" white plastic hole plug that worked perfectly. The only problem is it came in a bag of 25. So I have 23 left now because I sent one to DavidS. If you want to do this mod or already have and need a hole cover, just let me know via PM and include your address. I drop one in mail for you. I also found some small white foam circles that I used to cover the bolt holes.

If you remove the old light, you might find some manufacturers identification inside. Also check with the OTT service department. It looks like etrailer has some lights that look similar to the early model Oliver’s. Check here: https://www.etrailer.com/s.aspx?qry=Rv+Porch+Light&furl=-vw-1

Do you have a neutral bonding plug plugged into your generator? If not, the surge suppressor with block the incoming current. See the following post for more information. http://olivertraveltrailers.com/topic/generator-use-with-hard-wired-surge-protector/ Mike

Nan, see this post. Mike

Was that at 300 baud?😃 Mike

The white weather strip the covers the outside track of the sliding window is reusable. Be sure to have fun while cleaning the window tracks. Mike

Wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. Mike and Krunch

I replaced mine in May 2019 and it just may be the best $100 I ever spent. You will need 5' for each large window and 2' for the bath on an LEII or 17'. Mike

Good thinking Ken. When something like the generator struggling happens, it very easy to go down the rabbit hole and making it very complicated. I often forget to sit down and think about it. Mike

What type of knee surgery did you have? From my limited experience with knee surgery, only 5 times, hot generally means infection. Have you been back to the doctor? Are you doing physical therapy? I know everyone’s pain level is different, but I stopped pain pills 2 days after an total knee replacement. And remember, ice is your friend for swelling. Mike

One of our forum members makes mahogany shower mats that might help with noise issue until you figure out if it’s a problem or not. See this post https://olivertraveltrailers.com/topic/shower-mat-production-starts-next-week/#post-173535. I purchased a teak mat from teakworks4u.com before Foy started making them and I think it distributes my weight more effectively. Mike

Pantry Lights We have used several different battery powered, motion detecting LED lights in our pantry. And we have never been happy changing batteries or waving a hand to try getting the lights to come on. I have seen Snowballs pantry LED fixture and really liked that application, so I went down that rabbit hole looking for my own solution. These are the lights and switches I used.

The battery tray on my 2017 LEII is fastened with 2 bolts farthest inboard on both rails and 2 blind rivets outbound on each rail. I increased the flat washers on the bolts to 1" diameter fender washers. There wasn't any access to the bottom of the rivets for me because the bottom of the battery box sits over the wheel well. My tray is made by MORryde is mounted with stainless bolts and rivets. My battery tray is assembled with steel rivets. Mike

I keep this meter plugged into the AC outlet under the street side bed for informational purposes. I think of it as a gas gauge for the trailer AC electrical system. I can do a quick visual check on the AC power in the trailer without have to get a multimeter out of my tool kit. The outlet I plug into at the house is a 15 amp circuit and it has several outlets in the garage as well lights. If I try to run too much on that circuit, the house breaker may trip or the trailer air conditioner may stop if it is running or the refrigerator will switch to gas when it is set on auto mode. These are all indications that my house circuit is overloaded and if I reduce the load on that circuit, the trailer is happy and everything runs as expected. Mike

Very nice job, but I thought Harley dog would help fetching tools and such, making it at least a 1.5 man crew. Did you see the PM I sent you a week ago? Mike

There really isn’t any movement in tower on my install, but I modified my installation from the stock instructions. All of the movement happens above the Snap Pin, marked by the red arrow. If you would like more detail, let me know. Mike

Did this issue get fixed? Please provide an update. Mike

Congratulations on your new Ollie and it’s maiden voyage. Mike

I’m not sure about that 80/20% because that smile looks like a 100% to me. Enjoy your new Ollie. Safe travels, Mike

You may be right about the power source not making any difference, but I don’t know that. When ever I am troubleshooting any problem, I try to gather as much information as possible. What I know so far is it happens on 2 switches, so I have to assume none of the other 12v lighting circuits are effected. I also assume you are using the switch panel by the door because the rear switch panel does not control the courtesy lights. Open the access port in the upper cabinet above the microwave and find the main and courtesy light switches. Pull the wire connector off of the switch post and push it back on making sure you have a good connection. Do this 1 wire at a time. Do this for both wires on each switch. Now test you work.

Excellent points Steve! It was not my intention to suggest that the only place to jack up the trailer to change a tire was from in front of the front tire. I just couldn’t get a clear picture of the rear jacking point on my trailer. That was also the reason I referenced the newsletter as it has a better description than I provided. But here are 2 pictures copied from the newsletter showing the jack points for OTT's 2017 and newer. Mike

You can all ways verify the spot with a magnet to confirm it is steel. Mike
