We have the six sided Clam and for us it works better that one attached to the trailer, or some would call it a second room, or added living area. The size is plenty big enough for eight and a table, goes up and down quickly, and the price is right. We did used it more when we had the Casita, but with the Oliver we have only used it once in the last year. The main reason for the Clam was to protect us from the mosquitoes, etc., but so far they have not been where we have been camping, I guess we just lucked out on that. I got tired of taking it with us and we started calling ahead of where we would be camping and asking if the mosquitoes were bad, or not, thus leaving the Clam home if not needed. Also it great for setting around with our Little Red Campfire going and keeping us warn, get the model with the wind covers included, or purchase the wind covers for the base model, either works well.

Do you think a 120# old woman could put your Clam up and take it down by herself?? Thanks.

Thanks for commenting Sherry. You helped me out a lot. Yep, even the service guy had not seen the Bluetooth one and he a service tech for them. I was a little worried about him because I had not heard from him in a couple of weeks (after he received the board), but found out his wife went into premature labor and that stopped his world. Anyway, like I said, if anyone needs a new thermostat please just let me know. I will send it to you free of charge.

He added a wire, but I am totally ignorant about any of this, so I will ask him about that wire. And there is that add on fuse that is behind the breaker panel above the nite stand that he found. I do not know what that is for either. All of this happened because the prior owner wanted all of the fiberglass out of the ducks because of her allergies. But, I do not understand why she replaced the brand new Oliver installed air conditioner and heater. I have the paperwork that shows who and when it was done. I am glad this has been resolved because it has been a trip. I now have a perfectly good thermostat that I will send to anyone that needs it.

Finally had the heater repaired. The tech said that it was wired wrong and that since it had power going to it all the time the main board burned up. He installed a new board and replaced the fuse and all is working just fine. Thanks everyone for helping me with this.

Can someone please tell me what gas hose will fit on a Blackstone 17" grill and a 2017 Oliver II? I have two connectors on the Oliver and I want to be able to use them with the Blackstone grill. Thanks so much. Nan Wallace hull #267

Thank you both!!

John, if you could make a list of a maintenance schedule (what and how often), I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you, Nan

And it was. And I told the tech that too. It cost me $451 today.

RV Tech said the heater did not have enough wires going to it to ever work. Also since the power had been on the control board constantly, he said it was burned up. He ordered another board, but it is back ordered and it will be at least 2 weeks before it comes in. And there is an add-on fuse behind the panel in the breaker box that is above the nite stand..so, there you go..it definitely was not a thermostat problem, but a wiring problem. This did not happen at the Oliver factory because the AC and heater were replaced by the previous owner.
-
I am finally biting the bullet and have called a service tech on my Atwood heater. I changed out the thermostat and it still will not work. I was told by the original owner that this was a new heater and I know it is a new thermostat. I am sick of spending time on it. Also will hopefully have the Dexter bolts checked for proper torque. Also will ask why the hot water heater on/off switch is frozen in the on position. I am a little discouraged.

I have AAA Plus for roadside assistance and Progressive put me with Safeco Insurance for the Oliver. I have replacement coverage. It is for $52,000 (that is what I paid for my 2017). Comprehensive, collision, loss of use and vacation liability and my premium is $684 per year.

We are attending and have a site in section G. I can't remember which one. We are excited as this is our first rally. We picked up #537 "Beacon" in October. We left Maine February 2, for 4 months on the road. We are currently in Savannah and will be heading to the Keys next week. The rally is our last stop before heading home to Maine for the summer. See you all there!!!!
I live right outside of Savannah. What campground are you in? Nan Wallace Hull #267

Thanks everyone. I was just going by the diagram while laying on the floor with a flash lite in my mouth and it says 7.5 amp. I am leaving the 10 amp alone. 😃 Thanks, Nan

Yes, I bought it used. Thanks for the reply. Nan

Is there any reason there would be a 10 amp fuse where a 7.5 amp fuse should be for the furnace? Thanks, Nan

Thanks, because my grandson said he didn't think I needed to put the leveler pushing down with the grain of the block. He said I should put it on the 6" side. Not going to argue with him, but I just didn't know.🙂

It’s not a big deal for us. For those that are bothered by it carrying extra jack stands is probably worth having. The more we camp the more we go with “less is more”. I’ve got two sets of the the yellow legos (20) and three homemade 6X6X8” blocks that are carried in the aluminum tongue box. This has been enough to fix almost all leveling situations. Mike
Mike, how do you set the blocks? Do you put the leveler on the 6" side or the 8" side? Thanks, Nan

Sherry, Foy is making me a wooden dinette top to match the rest of the wood in the camper.

Thank you so much David. I will contact them Monday. Nan

David, thank you so much for the offer. But maybe I should just try to replace my thermostat with a bluetooth model. Since I do not know what I am doing, can you please tell me:
1) Will a bluetooth work with my 2017 Oliver?
2) Other than killing the ac power, is there anything I need to know about changing it?
3) If I need to kill the dc power, how do I do that?
4) Where did you purchase you bluetooth thermostat and do you know the model?
Thank you so much. Nan Wallace

Right Sherry..when I took off the faceplate and lightly touched the the buttons there was no change. It seems to me if the service department stocks the faceplate they would also stock the whole thermostat..but the first tech said I would have to buy it at Camping World or someone else that stocked it. And when I called Oliver the other day Cindy told me to just leave the thermostat alone for awhile and see if it might reset itself.. and that did not happen. Maybe I do need to go to Camping World and see what they have in the way of thermostats installed in their campers.

And none of the instructions worked...so called Dometic back. They are sending me a new faceplate (though it is going to be in black) at no charge. They did say they have had trouble with the foam on the faceplate. Hopefully this will take care of the problem. Thanks so much Sherry.
-
Sherry, just got off the phone for 2nd time with Dometic and had a different tech. She said to pull the cover and take out the foam pieces and turn them over and put them back in. Put cover back on thermostat. She said people were pushing the buttons and they were not to be pushed but to be touched. Then go into a reset and she gave me the directions on that. I am heading to the camper....
Water heater leaking
in Mechanical & Technical Tips
Posted
When the Oliver was winterized the anode was removed and laid in the water heater. Today we un-winterized the Oliver and screwed the anode in and it leaked. We pulled it and taped the threads and it leaked again. The housing that hold the anode is very rusty. Tried to clean it out, but still leaked. Can this be replaced without replacing the entire water heater? Also the On/Off switch in the water heater is frozen in the On position (that is why the fuze was pulled when the hot water was drained.) What should I do? Thanks again everyone. 2017 Hull 267
