Thanks to @MAX Burner and others who shared their installation. I was able to install the upgrade today in a reasonable time without rushing. My tip after having done the install with simple connections.. "Do a dry fit to see where the wires are going to land and build a simple wiring harness." The Light and the Fan each have their own white and black wires, it would be nice if the fan company provided a pre wired header to plug those in to the light shroud with a long bare white and black out of the harness to connect to the trailer leads. If I were to do it over, I would make my own header and tuck it up inside before securing down the fan. I think the trickiest part was measuring to cut the extension tube because of the Oliver's slightly curved ceiling. Craig

Thanks for the tips.

We're going to be on the east coast coming from west. We want to get a transponder for the toll roads. A bit confused about Ez Pass and trailers. In some articles I see you need only one transponder but have the trailer also registered. Other articles say they just count axles. In any case - looking for advice from folks back east with experience. Craig

I believe you when you say it's tricky to setup all the various "booking sites" and having to save a number of various login's and passwords. Here's our coming season - August through December showing our Planned Stops....all but 2 are pre-booked. We started planning this back in December as we needed to book Florida sites that early. Used RV Trip Wizard for planning and a variety of other tools to actually find specific sites based on pictures of the sites. Hope you have a good trip. Craig

We've stayed 2 times at Deadhorse Ranch for a week in the fall. It's one of our favorite places to go as there are so many things to do and see within a short drive. The town of Cottonwood has a historic old-town with many tasting rooms and food offerings. Some ideas in < 15 min drive include: Tuzigoot Natl Monument Historic Jerome (Mining town) Verde Canyon Railroad Tour Old Town Cottonwood Wineries & Tasting Rooms including the local wine university. Day trip to Sedona is about an 45min. easy drive. You can see some of our photo's of the campground and area here: Site 8 - Deadhorse Ranch SP Tuzigoot Nat'l Monument Jerome State Historical Museum Verde Canyon RR Tour in Clarkdale about 15 min from campground

Thanks for the heads up...order on its way. I'll review the initial post before installing and provide any updates on hull 505 installation. We're preparing for a trip from Seattle Area all the way to Nova Scotia then down to Florida by Dec. Craig (Galway Girl - Hull 505)

Suggestion: Have you tried the OEM Sales Manager from Lithionics - Reuben Macias? Under Winnebago he may have a different email than what I have for him...so maybe contact Oliver service for their point of contact for service. Check your PM message from me. Sorry I don't have more. Craig

We have the dewalt system of tools and have used our dewalt for 3yrs. It’s been great. we boyght a dewalt fan and use ut when were hot and off grid.

There is a green LED light directly above the Truma Exterior switch. That LED glows green when all is ok. It flashes a code if something is wrong. You could then look up the code in the Truma manual or here: truma-operating-instructions-error-codes-water-aquago-us-en-ca-fr-mx-es.pdf If your LED is glowing solid green and you're only seeing very lightly warmed water then the issue could be as follows: Check: Make sure the street side outside shower valves are both actually turned all the way off. The shower head has a on/off push button so while it may appear the water is off, if t's simply off at the shower head and those valves are on the hot and cold side water are mixing in the lines and the water heater will not heat up the supply. Reason this happens: Often this happens when owners flush the system of the winter antifreeze or after winter storage. They forget to turn OFF both valves on the shower because there wasn't any water coming out of the shower wand. (Because it's locked in the off position). Craig Short Galway Girl - Hull 505

I'll drop it to 40-45 then for the next trip and see how it feels. I know the original ride home when when we picked up New was very bumpy as they had 65 psi in those original Michelin's.

We just picked a mid point on the chart as a starting point. What would you run them at? I may lower the pressure on the next run, but expect some extra heating effects on the tires at that lower psi.

We put New tires on our 2019 EII in Jan 2024 after 50K miles of use, and the tires were about to age out. (Still had a lot of tread.) We went to Discount Tire (also called America's Tire) and we put on new Michelin's. Tire Selected: Michelin Agilis Cross Climate - LT225/75 R16 Load Range E1 Black Sidewalls Discount Tire had no issue with these on our trailer. The tires are great so far. We run them at 55PSI and they have plenty of load capacity. \

Here’s what we have for solar external that uses the Oliver Zamp Port: https://4-ever-hitched.com/ggs-blog/f/here-comes-the-sun?blogcategory=Electrical+Upgrades Craig -

Thanks for sharing that. It's definitely something you want to dispose of properly and make certain you rinse out of your system completely after the cycle completes.

Eclipse Pix - From Eclipse at Fredericksburg - Now Available I updated our web page with Pictures of the Various Oliver's that attended the Eclipse Event at Lady Bird Johnson Park. You can see your trailer pix...and the rest of our fall/winter/spring trips on our website. https://4-ever-hitched.com/eclipse-2024 It was so nice meeting all of you that came to that event.
