  1. Hull 505 Galway Girl Irish Family History
  2. In our 2019 factory installation the cell amp is mounted on the left wall of the cabinets above the dinette. This has an access port inside the upper part (right side) of the pantry, but the wires dive down a run along the back channel of the shelf forward to power switch and the antenna runs back through a hole into the pantry . The cell boost antenna is a magnet mount on the street side top rear of the roof.

  5. After cleaning and burnishing I was told by Jason to cut a light criss cross pattern in the block and mounting point as well ( I used a vibrating saw with metal cutting blade) . Light cuts not too deep. Then I cleaned again & let dry. its held tight for 3 years so far.
  6. Sorry we’re not home in Everett to meet you. If the clinton to Mukilteo ferry is in your plans, consider lunch at Ivars in the Mukilteo waterfront. When exiting the ferry take a right into the hwy, then a quick left at the next light into the waterfront park parking. You could have lunch at ivars ir visit the scuttle but brew pub. We are in Hells Gate State park today.

  11. See section 7 of the article on the upgrade ...in our 2019 EII manual it shows it as a Black Charge wire as shown in the wiring diagram and in the PICTURE below. The reason we disconnected the wire inside the 7 pin cable was to protect the alternator. Lithium Batteries they can "draw" charge current much faster than older AGM or other Lead Acid Batteries...so ultimately they would try to draw way more power than the truck wiring would provide. (To install the DC/DC converter you'll run dedicated lines back to the DC/DC charger.) Full battery upgrade is here...including the section 7 about disabling the charge wire. https://4-ever-hitched.com/blog-articles/f/lithium-battery-upgrade Step 7; Disable the 7 Pin Charge Line: We will be installing a new DC/DC charger into our Oliver EII. But before we do that install we need to disable the current charging wire that runs from the 7 pin cable on the tongue of the Oliver. That 7 pin connector is the one that plugs into the back of the truck for lights, brake lights, emergency brake power. Inside the 7 pin cable there is a BLACK wire that provides 12V (B+ ) from the truck battery/alternator B+ all the way back through the trailer, through a 20A breaker and back to the batteries via the 12V Bus bar in the trailer. We will not be using that (Black) charge line for the trailer an longer. We disabled that line on the 7 pin connector by putting heat shrink coating over the screw terminal on the black B+ wire conductor and also taping up the screw lead the body. We reassembled the conductor and tested that no 12V was present on the wires inside the trailer. Wiring Digram for Oliver EII 7 Pin To disable the Charge Wire (BLACK) from the 7 pin, remove the cover and disconnect the wire from the connector by taping up the wire and putting it back inside the cover. Don't cut the wire in case you need to use it in the future.
  12. Ours broke after a rough dirt road in the Yukon. We happened to carry new brass shark bite fittings for that location. Trimmed it up and we're all fixed up in 15 minutes. I now carry an assortment of fittings and some short lengths of pex in the trailer.
  13. Thanks for the reply. It's very helpful to have site reviews that state the campground and site for future reference. Sometimes we have had to do reviews and say our trailer won't fit or the sites very steep etc. Here's a steep side slope at Devils Lake State Park in Wisconsin. It was once a golf course turned into a campground and many of the side lots had large left/righ slopes.
  14. What site number was that and which loop? Really great site!
  15. So did you find the red one up under the dinette was for the composting toilet and red one in rear wheel well for zamp?
