Dry camping today in the Alabama Hills, CA, at Tuttle Creek BLM Campground with the creek two feet away from the trailer!

Bob, I think this is what you are referring to. Towready 20142 7-Way Plug Adapter Andrew

We LOVE the idea of the acrylic windows but, I haven't found ones that are the same size as the existing windows. Have you? Andrew

We had the lower pane of our bathroom window fill with moisture. It was covered under warranty. I replaced it myself, using only butyl tape. A great seal and a very clean installation. I have found no need for caulk. As far as a cause of early failure, reflectix does seem to cause the window to get hotter. I suspect it speeds up the seal failure. Andrew

John, On the few occasions I need to use a generator, to charge the batteries, I want to do it as quickly as possible. I hate the sound of a generator. Andrew

John, Progressive Dynamics 60 Amp PD4060LI, from Battle Born for $272. Andrew

John, I don’t know if this will help you or not. We have two 100 amp/hour Battle Born batteries. We do not have an inverter. When the nights are mild, in the 50s and no solar, we can go 8 to 10 days without a need to charge. Nights at or below freezing, 4 to 5 days. A simple set up, the install was easy and we have room for a third battery mounted sitting on it’s bottom. No batteries worries, made the expense well worth it for us. Andrew

Yes you can. All you have to do is change the type of battery and the controller will adjust it's charging profile. Andrew

John, I emailed Jason per your suggestion. Andrew

They did not but all lower hull positive connections are under the bed and negative under the dinette. Andrew

I have found the wiring to be very good. Easily accessed, bundled well, wire loomed, secured and clean terminations. Andrew

Don't forget a battery monitor that measures Amps/hours used! Just measuring voltage is not sufficient with LiFePO4 batteries. Andrew

Mike, You really need to measure your battery tray as Oliver has used different ones. Our tray will take three standard horizontal profile Battle Born batteries and four vertical profile batteries. Consider your amp/hour needs. You may only need two or three BB batteries. Two will be close to equivalent to the batteries you have and will save you $2,000 over four batteries. Andrew

We not only raise the front of the trailer but also raise the passenger side to make it flow better. Works for us. Andrew

Overland, pressure release valves are prone to not fully close after being released. I would be hesitant to use it for that purpose. I have had more that one fail in the past (Not on the Truma).

There seems to be concern for the need to have heated LiFePO4 batteries. I too was concerned before I installed our Battle Born batteries. I thought about drilling holes in the compartment, to allow air to flow from the basement into the compartment and installing a heating pads. From our experience, neither have been necessary. I did seal the four holes on the battery compartment door and installed a single layer of the same insulation Oliver uses on the basement compartment door. We have camped in temperatures down to 16 degrees and exterior of the batteries have never gone below 49 degrees. Andrew

John, I don't know if you saw this on another post. I too needed the elbow room and started with the standard floor plan. We ended up not liking it and came up with what we call a modified twin. Works great for us. (Before and After Pictures) Andrew

Mike, After putting the water valves in Boondocking mode to draw the bleach water through the rear port, did you change the valves back to the normal mode so, the pump pulls from the fresh water tank? Andrew

Hobo, I our 2019 Elite II, with the additional 30amp connection, there is a transfer switch under the rear dinette seat, along with the other electrical. It is a black box about 8"x6"x3" mounted face up, on top of the wheel well. Andrew

Susan, It does the same thing as a battery cutoff switch but Oliver does wire the trailer in a way that not everything is cut off. In our trailer, as I assume all others, the propane leak detector is not cutoff by the breaker. We also have a breaker on the positive side of the solar, that can also be tripped. In your example, with your trailer covered, it may not be necessary to trip the solar breaker. If you would like to discuss further, please PM me your phone number. Andrew

Susan, It is similar to this and it is under the driver's side bed. Andrew

Susan, I just trip the breaker on the positive lead from the battery. The residual draw in our trailer is less than 0.01 amp/hour. At that rate, our two 100 amp/hr Battle Born LiFePO4 batteries can sit for more that two years without any problem. I just reset the breaker a couple of days before we are ready to head out and park the "Burrito" in the sun. Andrew

Susan, If you get LiFePO4 batteries, it is best not to consistently float charge them. Andrew

Jairon, You are correct, they are 25". Andrew

Jairon, I know Oliver deleted the nightstand on at least one build. Andrew
