This tape really worked...it left NO residue after 9 weeks of being on the road holding on the yoga mats. This carpet protection film that I had from a remodel was put on top of the the yoga mat and made it more waterproof. If we hadn't covered the yoga mat it would have absorbed a ton of water and likely fallen off.

@rideadeuce - A tip...Last year when we went to Alaska we bought some yoga mats and used some 3M no residue tape to attach them to the lower front of our trailer. They worked like a champ at keeping gravel from the Yukon highways from chipping the body of the trailer. We also used a roll of clear rug protection plastic from Home Depot on top of the Yoga Mats to keep them from absorbing moisture. Below: First week of the trip and the yoga mat's are doing well...tne extra coat of vinyl floor protection film is holding water at bay. F Below: After a full 9 weeks on the road the yoga mat's took the beating, but our trailer was protected. Below - After yoga mat removal and quick wash...

I have a 2019 and there is a re-settable fuse between the 7 pin and the +12v buss. You may see if yours has one. here is a pix showing the 7 pin line

If you get a dometic 311- suggest the one with the upgraded slow close seat/lid. It's a residential lid made of heavy material. The default from dometic is a plastic lid/seat with no slow close and it is rather flimsy.

We replaced our 2019 EII standard toilet with a Dometic 311 (due to broken foot pedal.

@rideadeuce here’s how the wires looked after installation: The dc/dc charger output wire is the one with the red heat shrink on the end. The trick was to use the right size lug on the end to match buss bar bolts. The run was very short , < 2ft so a 6 x1/4” lug was used.

Does it fit the original hole from the older model fan?

Yosemite today: The pond near swinging bridge was dead calm.

Starlink router and antenna (version 2) draw 60-70 watts. Don’t know about newer versions. Since we have 640ah lithium’s so for us we just turn on the inverter . I could see that 12v direct could help a bit on energy usage. Our 2019 has a dc tv .

You could maybe reach in with some long needle nose pliers or a screw driver to see if it's loose. The picture below is looking into the burner assembly for the coupler you seek. CAVEAT - What I'm describing below is not an official repair guide. It's a description of what will be done by a qualified repair technician. It takes about 30 minutes to remove the burner assembly, tighten the coupler and re-assemble. If a qualified service technician needed to remove the burner they would first take pictures of all the wires before disconnecting anything. Then the technician will: `) Turn off gas to the trailer at the tanks. 2) Burn off what's in the gas lines by lighting stove until burners go out. 3) Make sure the Truma is OFF, and pull the 12V device Fuse. 4) Disconnect the gas line from the Truma. Use a backing wrench on the gas coupler. 5) Take Off 2 Torx screws that hold the burner box down in (they are below the control valves.) 6) Disconnect wiring harness, and other spade lug wires. The bundled black wire harness has an automotive style plastic tie down that can be pulled out with pliers. (Bottom left yellow circle) 7) Once the wires are loose the technician would gently wiggle the burner out part way to expose the igniter and sensors. (Note- the gas line has a bit of flex/tension pressing inward and needs to be held out of the way a bit to the right side while removing and re-installing the burner. An extra hand is useful to hold that gas feed to the right side.- With the burner part way out (shown below ) next loosen the hold down bracket Torx screw (don't remove fully) for the single (White) sensor and then remove the 2 Torx screws that hold the dual wire (White) igniter. The technician will need to remove the purple and brown/red spade lug wires from the sensor. Once the igniter, sensors and wires are detached the burner assembly can be removed to a workbench. 8. Wiggle the burner the rest of the way out and check / tighten the burner feed coupling that is shown below: Note- the gas line has a bit of flex/tension pressing inward and needs to be held out of the way a bit to the right side while removing and re-installing the burner. An extra hand is useful to hold that gas feed to the right side. 9) Reassemble reversing the process making sure to be gentle while replacing the burner. The copper chimney/heat exchanger is delicate so be slow and steady when replacing the burner assembly. After the technician gets everything back together...they will to check for any gas leaks at the main connection (soapy water, and gas sniffer). Turn on the gas and run the stove for a bit to make sure gas is back in the lines. Finally they will put the fuse back in and test the Truma for function. Craig

Thanks to @AlbertNTerri I was able to field repair the truma unit. Their note described the specific burner feed line that was loose. I removed the burner assembly and found the main connection inside the burner was loose. The connection is the brass fitting in the pix. That connection was loose, not even hand tight. I tightened it back to spec and checked all wiring for any burns and they were all ok. IMG_7603.mov Tested gas pressure and it was correct. Cleaned soot from burner Assembly and reinstalled burner. Checked for gas leaks then lit off the Truma. No more whoosh/boom. This was made possible because an Oliver forum person posted the repair steps that a Truma tech did to repair their unit. I asked Jason to let truma know about this unit failure, and suggest they send out a service note on this topic. I ask those going to the rally to point out this issue to Truma Reps at the event. I will submit this as a new incident NHTSA as it was dangerous. Unit info: Model Serial No: DLE 60G 32123091 direct vent automatic instantaneous water heater Regards, Craig Short Hull 505

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.
