I called Parts earlier this week and got the $350 number (just for the front logo) and they only had one color that did not match my sides. Ngl, I'll head back to the vinyl shop tomorrow -- probably tow over there -- and ask them what it would cost to repro the entire OEM set. I will then compare the number to an actual wrap. I cannot imagine the latter being competitive but if its within 20% I might just do a wrap. Would certainly be unique as an EII. For cars, wraps are usually a wash at-best for resale but we shall see. It's kinda crazy that this has run this long. You can literally run a hand-held scanner over the surface, import that into any decent photo editor, and then convert to vector graphics with just a bit of work.

Not really though. I'm looking for the large front one. And maybe I just do all of them while I'm refreshing front. It's funny ... when I put my spec in I asked Sales about having no graphics -- this was back in '19 -- and never got a response. At delivery date I had black and silver. Had I been plain ole egg I had planned to take it to a local wrap place. I was going to go FDE and maybe tiger stripe. I guess I was just ahead of my time. :D ****...maybe I should do that now. ;)

Yah. I figured as much. Figured it doesn't hurt to offer. Back to #1, if folks are interested I can approach my local guy about working out a vector graphics from pictures. There's design time involved with that. However, if he knew that there were a number of people queued up on that then maybe he would waive or just roll it into price of orders etc. Y'all can let me know. Thx.

1. If there are people out there still interested in resolving this, please tag this comment with some sort of emoji as a confirmation. More on that later. And not necessarily related to #2 below. 2.@topgun2, I don't know how the forums work around here but I assume if you are a mod you are either an Ollie employee or at least know them somewhat ... In a previous life I did digital forensics work. That means recovering deleted/over-written files. It's not always possible but sometimes ... Can you let them know I might be able to help? I can walk them through the process of duplicating the drive on that machine in such a way that a copy could be sent to me either electronically or physically to see if I can recover anything. thx

Hey, y'all. It's been a minute since I've been around here as I was working on other projects. The latest project is to finally (seriously this time!) get my '19 E2 ready for sale. Part of that is getting at least the front logo refreshed. I see that that is a common issue around here. Before I call parts, what's the latest on digital / vector graphics version of the logo, side swooshes, etc? I was just thinking to do the front logo but I have a local guy who does solid work and the price he is quoting me for just the logo I'm now considering refreshing them all. But one of his main things was to try to get him a vector graphics (ex: .svg or .ai) version to work with. From what I'm reading in this and other threads, that's probably not going to happen. But...

My MaxxAir main cabin fan seems to have a bad main board. Internet says that in order to get the model number of the fan I'll need to climb on top of the coach as the model number is not accessible from within. Perhaps someone has already done this exercise and can share the model # of the fan install in the '19 E2? I have a ticket in with Service as well but I don't know if Oliver tracks that sort of info for individual model years. We'll see. thx

Need to replace the slider in the curbside window
nrvale0 replied to nrvale0's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
I'm not following how the last few posts to this thread have anything to do with the curbside window and how it might have water between the panes. Perhaps the issue of a less-than-good install of the rear window deserves its own thread? -
Need to replace the slider in the curbside window
nrvale0 replied to nrvale0's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
Your eyes are better than mine. I looked at those pictures a couple of times and came away thinking they were not even for an Oliver! Back to the original topic, I live in a town of about 30k with a couple of glass shops and an RV repair place and nobody will touch my window repair. There's another town nearby of about 100k and with a Camping World and so I suppose I'll call down there and see what I can find out. Just documenting for posterity / anyone in the future who has this issue... -

nrvale0 replied to nrvale0's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
Thanks, Frank. I guess I'll call Parts on Monday and see what it would run for a new. -
Hey, y'all. In doing my Spring maintenance work I've noted that my EII's curbside sliding window has a leak and there's now water in between the panes. Curious if anyone else has seen this -- I've read about windows leaking but don't see anything about water inside the pane -- and have any advice as to where I might order a replacement and if I should try to do the swap myself? I imagine these are probably standard-sized windows. Hope that's not wrong.

While cleaning a composting bathroom...
nrvale0 replied to nrvale0's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
I have some left-over silicon mat from another project and I'm going to cut a piece to cover that hole for when I reinstall the composter. -
While cleaning a composting bathroom...
nrvale0 replied to nrvale0's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
I didn't realize that's what those were! I did find a little drain -- I guess that's the other side of the "scupper" you mention -- under the North dinette seat but that whole area doesn't really look like its designed to be handle any sort of *real* moisture. To your point. Sort of a surprising design honestly. I guess I'll check to see if the hardware store has some sort of plug that might fight in that hole without making it really hard to remount the composter. Thx! -
While cleaning a composting bathroom...
nrvale0 replied to nrvale0's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
I did crawl around under the trailer today looking for any sort of drain for the hull area where the black tank sits and I didn't see much of anything. -

nrvale0 replied to nrvale0's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
I'm also going to pull @John E Davies into this thread since he has an old thread about doing the install himself, is extremely thorough, and I'm sure he considered the consequences of getting water in this portal to the black water tank. John, I hope that's ok. I tried to flatter you a little to smooth it over if not. ;) -
I'm doing Spring cleaning. I've removed the composting toilet and I'm looking at the hole in the hull which is above the port for my (unused) black tank and which would normally be under the composting toilet. There's really no gasket around the bottom of the composting toilet and thus I would expect that water from the shower must get under the toilet, drop down onto the black tank, and thus there must be a drain under there somewhere, yes? Looking at the manuals, it *kinda* looks like that is the case. To be honest the reason why I'm asking is I would like to be able to do all of the cleaning and then rinse down the bathroom and not have to worry that any water which dropped down over the black tank would then be trapped in the hull. Thx y'all.

water pump chattering at end of cycle
nrvale0 replied to nrvale0's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
In fairness to the manufacturer of the pump, I was full timing for 2+ years and cooked and washed dishes nearly every night in a hard water area. I'm sure I blew through the typical mean-time-between-failures. I'm actually very curious to see what it looks like inside. -

nrvale0 replied to nrvale0's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
Both of the ones I've had made a bit of sound but by the end the OEM-installed one was making *much* louder noises. And after I installed the new one it was a ton quieter. I think the video doesn't do well to demonstrate the sound level. Before I remove the old one it was chattering enough to make me, as a bit of a motorcycle mechanic, uncomfortable. Visions of the pump internals being shredded. 😉 -

nrvale0 replied to nrvale0's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
I turned off the valve just on the other side of the pump and then opened a faucet for a second. It spilled a little bit of water when I opened it but not much. Nothing a wash cloth couldn't handle. -
Power down the trail pigtail for cleaning and sealing?
nrvale0 replied to nrvale0's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
Thanks, folks. The 60A was easy to find. I've not yet located the 20A for the pigtail ... just some 30s under the bunk and the 10s under the dinette seat. I'll keep looking. -

nrvale0 replied to nrvale0's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
I had my doubts about that 30A breaker being relevant. I'll have to go back through the manual to spot the location of that 60A. I did see it in the key of one of the diagrams but didn't see its placement. Thx -
So both my bathroom and overhead fans on my '19 EII seem to have failed. I see that at least on the overhead this is commonly a moisture issue and usually involves a board replacement (and some custom water-proofing work). Anyone have a recommended place to order a replacement bathroom fan and the board for the overhead MaxxAir? Given the "supply chain issues" I've had with motorcycles etc these last two years I'm inclined to just order complete replacement units and then pull the existing units for later refurb and or parting out for the parts shelf. Thx

nrvale0 replied to nrvale0's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
I forgot to update this thread. I ended up ordering a new water pump and replacing and everything seems a lot better. I may go through the old pump soon and rebuild it just to have a somewhat trustworthy spare on the shelf. -
Hey, folks. I need to disconnect power from the trailer pigtail in order to clean the contacts and also to do a better job of water sealing that whole apparatus. Looking at the manual and wiring diagrams it seems to me like if I'm trying to be careful I should not only flip the 30A main breaker under the dinette but there's also a breaker that sits between the the 7-way and the batteries which should be flipped. Correct? Did I miss anything? Thx
-
Congrats on the new rig! Glad you found the thread useful. Please make sure not to miss the Shower Beer section. 😉 I'm no longer full-timing and about 2 weeks ago I emptied the trailer while doing some routing maintenance. It took like 3 days to organize all of the junk I had been carrying in the Oliver for full-timing. Some of which I had put in there the first week I rolled out, never used, and then prompty forgotten about until I hauled it out again. So that's a data point at least. 😉
