Yes, the 4.5 cubic foot Norcold. Andrew

Susan, On our 2019 is does not have a switch. It uses a thermostat to turn it on and off and it works well. 2020's use the same refrigerator. Andrew

I am 6'5" 235 lbs. and find it is perfectly functional. The only negative for me is, I tend to hit my head on the upper door frame, if I don't put my hand on it, as I step down to get out. The wife is 5'3" 120 lbs. and is very pleased with it, especially when we have the rare hookups and she can take as long of a shower as she would like. Andrew

All you need is two 100 amp/hour LiFePO4 batteries with built in BMS and a battery monitor. If you are purchasing the trailer new, it will have an 2000watt/80amp inverter charger that can be set to charge the new batteries. 15 minutes to install the batteries and a few hours for the battery monitor, depending where you mount it. $2,500 max all in. Andrew

Overland, The stated Atwood CO monitor power consumption in “power conservation“ mode is 0.01 amps/hour. In my case it is actually less than that. Even at the stated rate, it would take more than 800 days to use up 200 amp/hours of usable battery capacity. That is close enough to zero for me. Andrew

Overland, My battery monitor shows no current across the shunt, when the breaker is open. Meaning less than 0.01 amps/hour. Andrew

The Norcold does not have a light either. Andrew

Our 2019 has a breaker under the driver's side bed, to the left of the positive bus. Push the yellow or red button in to turn off. Close the yellow or red gate switch to turn on. Breaker is similar to below. Andrew

Pat, Your ML should tow the Elite II quite well but you will have to pay close attention to your vehicle's carrying capacity. You may not be able to carry as much as you think on the tongue. Great ride, great brakes and great gas mileage! If you have concerns, I would suggest you contact the towing experts at Can-Am RV Centre in Ontario, Canda. https://www.canamrv.ca/ The Andersen weigh distribution hitch has worked well for us. Andrew

Toby, Follow Mossey's direction. The cable is plenty long. I used a five foot fiberglass fish rod to pull a string behind the pantry, tied it to the end of the cat 5 cable and taped the connector well, as to not damage it and pulled through. You will also need the fish rod to pull the wire down the back wall along the condensate tube for the AC. I placed the shut under the dinette seat with all of the other negative wires. I like keeping the positive and negatives sperate, as Oliver has done. Andrew

Deidre, I am in San Diego and have a modified twin Elite II. To schedule a visit, either go on to the Oliver website, call their sales department (they are very helpful and not pushy at all) or PM me with your contact information. Andrew

Tody, I helped someone else with this, who just completed their install on a 2017, last week. I would be more than happy to talk it through with you and/or get you in touch with the Oliver owner who just completed the work. If you are interested, please PM me with your contact information. Andrew

Susan, We got the option for convenience when using the generator. We opted for the two propane quick connects and run our generator off propane. With the two connections in the same place, we can hook up our generator on the camp side to pay closer attention to it. As for the 30amp power cord, 25' is standard. Andrew

Mossey, The head rail can be attached at any level. We placed ours as high as it could go, without interfering with the operation of the door. For us, it will only be closed when we are getting in and out of the shower and we want maximum privacy. As for the pegs, they can't be used with the shade as it came, as the bottom shade rail is skinnier than the head rail and the width of the screen door frame. (refer back to the pictures I posted earlier) The pegs would have to be installed on the screen door frame and the bottom rail would not be able to catch on them. If someone wanted to use the pegs, they could ask Zarcor to leave the bottom rail long (same width as the head rail), to allow for this. Knowing what I know now, I would seriously consider that and then mount the head rail at the bottom. This would address Townesw desire. If you ordered more sets of pegs, the shade could be set in different positions. If someone wants to do this, I will check to make sure the pegs won't interfere with opening/closing the screen/door. Andrew

We decided to stop using the flat/top sheet because it became too much of a hassle. We just use a duvet cover over a down comforter. Much more comfortable and it is MUCH easier to make the bed. No hassle! We think the AB Lifestyles fitted sheets fit great and stays in place without any additional gadgets. Andrew

Townes, I just replaced the glass. There is no reason to replace the frame unless it is damaged. The shade can’t be installed upside down because the clip that holds the shade open (covering the window) would have nothing to attach to and keep the shade from catching on the door frame, when you open the door. The head bumper has no impact on the operation of the shade. I removed It because we didn’t like how it looked and it did nothing to keep me from hitting the top of my head on the bottom of the frame, when I enter the trailer. Andrew

Sherry, They are the same roller shades used in modern Airstreams, with a different Head rail attachment point. The shade is a thin vinyl that appears would be easy to clean. Just installed it so time will tell. The install took about 15-20 minutes. Drilled three holes in the screen door and screwing in three screws. All screws and the bottom attachment point are provided. Andrew

Please let me know what you find out. I am very interested if it is actually quieter. Thanks! Andrew

Overland, I purchased standard shade size 3 through Zarcor and they customized it. Model CSH-3-W Oceanair Cabinshade - White. Size: x=21 5/8” (shade width), y=23 5/8” (shade height), z=24 1/8” (head rail). Cost $124.90. They customized x=19 1/8” and z=21 5/8”. The customizing cost $39.00 + $10.00 shipping. If you think you can cut down the shade yourself, you can get the shade online for less than $100. Andrew

I have been looking at the Maxxfan Dome fan as well but I haven’t read anything that convinces me it would be significantly quieter. i also like the exterior dome cover can be white instead of black, like the Ventline. Andrew

Solution found! A custom Oceanair Skyshade Cabinshade mounted to the screen door. It allows for full view and can be open/closed from inside. Andrew

Overland, I used a plastic razor blade, denatured alcohol and good old elbow grease. It took some time but cleaned up well. Andrew

Overland, It looks like the caulk was either put on to thin and the butyl tape used to seal the window discolored the caulk or there isn’t any caulk in the first place. I noticed the same problem around the rear window. When I went to remove what I thought was caulk ended up being yellowed butyl. You may want to try removing some of it with a plastic razor blade to be sure what the issue is. Andrew

Susan, What you see behind the Magma is a cutting board and a non-stick fry pan. We don't have an induction cooktop (no inverter). The outlet is in the cabinet above. There is an outlet on the bottom side of the cabinet above the kitchen counter, that comes standard. Andrew
