I’ve just had my second truma unit start having the same issue. timeline: Delivery of Trailer: Aug 2019 Failure of Truma: Jan 2022 New Unit in Service : Jan 27,2022 Failure of unit 2 : May 1, 2024 (One week after Oliver completed yearly service.) New unit failure is Model Serial No: DLE 60G 32123091 pix video IMG_7543.mov Any names of contacts and email at Truma would be a big help! I’m in contact with Oliver and will update as the service ticket progresses. craig hull 505 Galway Girl

In Homolvi Ruins SP near Winslow AZ. Heading toward Disneyland. This park has water & electric and baths with showers. An RV dump is available by the exit. Pix of trailer from site 9. ‘

Had the trailer in for yearly service, which included Dometic A/C service. At a campground a couple days later a gust of wind blew the cover off and cracked on the ground. The two rear shroud screws were missing , the front ones in place but broken out. I did a basic repair with white epoxy and the added 6 new self tapping screws around the perimeter. I’ve asked if service would ship me one of the used covers from their pile. If not I’ll go find the part online. craig Hull 505 - Galway Girl

I too use blocks but they were not put back during pick up.

We were at the factory for our yearly service last week with over 4 years and 50k miles towed! The team did a great job doing the full yearly service and all was well, the trailer was parked and ready for pickup. I got hull 505 hooked up and ready to roll then headed back in to say final goodbyes to Jason , Mike and the team. When I came back to the truck I forgot I hadn’t completely retracted the tongue jack. Ashamed of my dumb move I walked back in to ask for help. Jason said it happens all the time and made me feel a bit better then walked back in parts and found a replacement lower leg unit. The team used a sawsall to cutoff the bent leg, unbolting the leg above and removed the power head. Bolted on the new leg with new star washers to make a clean electrical ground to the chassis. They attached the power head and checked function. I hooked up and made sure to fully retract the leg. I went in and paid my bill feeling lucky to have done the damage in the parking lot of Oliver. I didn’t believe that it happened that often…but…The next person picking up their trailer did exactly the same thing, so the service team really does see it all the time. Sometimes more than once a day. I’ll post a part number for the lower/leg part and update this post later. Wife Rose suggested I carry a spare leg and a sawsall for our travels! Craig

I use the solar accessory plug which is near my 2019 battery compartment for several 12v accessories. It has a SAE connection that is wired through a fuse to the trailer batteries. While its SAE connector it set for zamp panels it works for anything you wish. Just pay attention to polarity as the zamp connecters are reversed from normal SAE. Adapters can be made from that SAE plug to your fridge. Zamp Solar Port On Oliver EII - Note : Top Pin is ( + ) Terminal Bottom is ( - )

We use the carefree tie down poles One caution: if it’s windy enough even those poles cans be lifted off the ground. Also, with the awning rail tied down, the awning material still billows up and stetches a bit. The longer term outcome is that the awning material slides toward the center from both ends after prolonged use with poles. Our awning is now 3” in on each end of the outside rail.

We had a similar issue until I figured out that Metal stems can be tightened down at the nut to stop leaking. To do the job, take off the sensor. Hold the threaded valve stem with needle nose pliers while tightening nut. Careful to not damage stem threads.

Optical illusion. The pad is sloping down to truck. Had to raise nose 10” for trailer floor to be level and 3” low on curb side as well.

There are two ports on the outside of the trailer. One is labeled for a satellite feed and should be the loose cable in the attic. the other cable is labeled for cable and should be connected to the back side of the tv amplifier along with the cable from the digital hd antenna. (Both connections are behind the cover plate of the tv amplifier. in my trailer those two cables were inadvertently mis labled at the factory. I plugged the CATV onto the satellite drop inpu and it worked. Maybe check that the cables are really connected from the CATV input in the side of the trailer to the amplifier connection behind the cover plate in the attic.

Staying 2nights at Gulpha Gorge CG in Hot Springs NP. Site 12 is a FHU site and good size but with a large downward pitch and sideways roll. Other smaller sites without hookups back onto the creek.

David, You are welcome. After I saw the carriage bolt heads when I looked inside under the beds I thought a post may be helpful. I checked mine and re torqued them as I prepared the post. Sorry we missed saying goodbye. craig & Rose

Guess it’s time to spend or lose it.

At the eclipse meet up I was asked about tightening the stabilizer rear jacks. i use blue threadlocker to help with bolt retention. Spec: 3/4” Leveling Jack flange bolt nuts (43 ft-lbs). Bolt locations shown for rear. inside : outside:

It says on the mp2 datasheet: ”Two AC Outputs The main output has no break functionality. The MultiPlus takes over the supply to the connected 120V loads in the event of a grid failure or when shore/generator power is disconnected. The transfer time of the L1 output is less than 18 milliseconds so that computers and other electronic equipment will continue to operate without disruption. The transfer time of the L2 output is longer: approximately 40 milliseconds. The second (auxiliary) output is live only when AC is available on the input of the MultiPlus. Loads that should not discharge the battery can be connected to this output.”

The shore power ( or generator) feeds thru the ems to the breaker panel. The a/c ciircuit is on its own 20 amp circuit . if you want to power the a/c from the new inverter, you would need to also wire into that 20 amp breaker from your inverter. what does the multiples 2 have as ac output? Is it one output or two?

I believe in your specific trailer has two external ports for shore power. Those connections first go to the transfer switch that is on your front wheel well. That shore or generator power (when applied to either port) goes through that transfer switch then the output connects to the input side of the EMS. The output of the EMS connects to the main Breaker Panel. On that panel you'll see the following breakers as indicated on the inside door panel. The #4 (20A double wide ) breaker is the one that feeds your outlets and microwave. It's also the one connected to the GFCI outlet under the front dinette seat. It's this circuit that your inverter feeds when you turn it on. As to the PF4000 charger output. In the photo you'll see I've taped off the 15A breaker #5. That's the breaker that fed power the charger in the PD4000 panel. I've also disconnected the PD4000 charger outputs from the battery circuit and capped and taped the charger output wires. (That way even if the breaker is flipped on, no power will be applied to the new batteries from that old charger.)

I upgraded our 2019 from the older 2000watt xantrex inverter to a new combo 2000w xantrex inverter/charger and added Lithionics batteries. I disconnected the on board progressive dynamics charger (below the dinette). I suggest you do a diagram of your current wiring before doing any work. I created an article on our upgrade: https://4-ever-hitched.com/ggs-blog/f/lithium-battery-upgrade?blogcategory=Electrical+Upgrades I left out the ems connections in the diagram. if you have questions after looking at that pm me and we can talk directly on the phone.

From Lady Bird Johnson Park. (9) Oliver’s here today. Lots of looking between clouds. Fun to hear the crowd cheer at totality. All pedestal lights turned on at totality.

Little peeks now and again but really fun to hear folks cheer at totality. Not the best pix…shot on phone with filter. Lots of haze in sky today for the eclipse.

Folks getting serious now!

The Pacific War Museum was awesome.
