  1. 2021 Elite ll   Standard floor plan. Lithium Solar package, composting. 2017 F-150 V8

  2. A strange thing happened to my Oliver a couple of weeks ago. Walked into the trailer and the Co2 detector under the dinette was chirping and all the lights were flashing. I turned on the main power switch on the panel, (the 12 volt stuff) and noticed the main, and cabinet lights were flickering. Also the 3 puck/touch lights on the curb side were on, (but dim), and they were flickering also. I looked in the forum for answers but couldn't really find anything. I sent in a service ticket and got call from Ryder the next day. He said the only real solution for the puck lights was to replace them. I ordered the replacement, but while I was waiting, I noticed that when my batteries are full (Lifeblue lithium solar package), and the trailer in connected to shore power, the Co2 alarm goes off. this has never happened before, I bought the Oliver new in Dec 2020. Seems the Zamp charge controller may be the culprit. If I turn off the switch to the panels and hit the main power switch on the panel, everything goes back to normal. I don't know why Zamp still uses a PWM charge controller. I'm glad Oliver has switched to a Victron MPPT charge controller. More efficient and better unit. So now when I'm plugged into shore power I turn off the solar panels. And when im Boondocking I turn the solar panels off when the batteries are full. This seemed to remedy the Co2 alarm and the flickering lights. I'm wondering if this caused my puck/touch lights malfunction. Any thoughts?
  3. Hi everyone! I upgraded to a 32 inch. I installed a Sylvox 32" (made in china, but cant find one made in the US.) Its a smart TV with all the bells and whistles. its also a 1080 dpi, so its sharper then the original Vizio. It is also a 12 volt/DC so I don't need to run the inverter to watch tv. I needed a new adapter plate I purchased from Mount-it! (an MI-782), the same people that made the original mount. (an MI-4211). Just bolted the mounting plate to the old stand and then attached the TV to that. It swings up out of the way just fine, and is much nicer to watch then the old 24". I have a 2021 Elite II with the standard floor plan. Got any questions, Id be happy to help out.
  4. Thank you for the info Larry. Have to break out the calculator and do some number crunching. Mike
  5. Hi Larry, Would you recommend a MPPT charge controller over a PMW for your LiFeBlue lithium ion batteries? I find it odd that Zamp doesnt use MPPT's on there installs. Thanks for your help. Mike
