Ollie-Haus

I’ve picked up an EcoFlow dc/dc charger that’s going to be installed in the truck for the purpose of fast charging the EcoFlow lithium battery we keep in the truck for the same refrigerator purposes. For us redundancy is a necessity. 👍

The hose is soft and pliable even in cold temps. It rebounds to its original flat shape, self draining in the process. I roll mine up in a flat coil for storage. It’s specifically for potable water. When pressurized, if it gets a kink, just give the hose a flip and the kink pops out. We’re a year into this hose and won’t be going back to a “ regular” hose ever again. It comes with a very good warranty on top of all that. Home Depot is the source.

Yes, and if you run it on normal setting with a humidity set point, the compressor cycles on and off. The power consumption drops to around 30 watts while the fan alone runs and the compressor is off. This little guy sips power. 👍

Another benefit to the dehumidifier is if you run it while running the AC on a normal cooling cycle, it helps reduce the humidity spikes that occur when the AC compressor shuts off. The comfort level in the Oliver is much improved in this scenario.

We have two of these we use at home and in the Oliver and they both have performed flawlessly for the past 18 months, and the one in OllieHaus bounces down the road while traveling. We rap in a blanket and set it upright on the floor while traveling.

Glad you pointed this out. I did measure load in the camper that morning and on high it was drawing 1.75 amps / 125 watts. Regarding when we use this, I leave it on all the time while in storage and plugged in to keep humidity low in the Oliver during storage. For the situation this post was referring to, we were without power in the park due to storms, and the very low draw allowed us to remain in total comfort running only the dehumidifier throughout the night, and in the morning we still had 69% of our lithium batteries (640 a/h system) remaining on the Victron meter. We are currently reroute home so I will answer additional questions this evening.

@mossemi I had to correct the attached Amazon Link. Should work now.

This is a duplicate of a post I made on the Facebook Oliver owner’s page. I’m sharing here for those not on Facebook that may be interested in a dehumidifier option for their Oliver. We were experiencing rainy and cool weather at the rally and conditions in the Olivers were getting steamy. Facebook post: Temperature and humidity outside at Lake Guntersville state park are 62deg and 94% humidity this morning. Inside OllieHaus it’s a perfect 73 deg and thanks to our counter top dehumidifier, it’s a very comfortable 46% humidity with all windows closed. No heat or AC needed. Loving life in our Oliver!! Edit: Here’s a link on Amazon for the dehumidifier if interested: Dehumidifier

Hey Steve, nice of you to do this again this season. Site G34, Ollie-Haus, Chris and Stacie along with Hallie and Cohen, from Indiana traveling in Ollie-Haus which is #1373.

We like the duel zone especially because we definitely need extra freezer space while traveling, but it’s also nice to have fridge space while exploring away from the camp site. Drinks and cold foods like sandwiches, hard boiled eggs and such are kept cool in the fridge side. Set up properly the system operates 24/7 with little involvement.

We are using the 69 liter Truma dual zone. We have an Ecoflow Delta Pro that rides next to the fridge that the Truma runs off of. The Ecoflow is charged with a high output DC/DC charger running off the truck alternator, and also a 200w solar panel on the top of the camper shell. System works very well while traveling and overnight dry camping.

Sorry to hear this Bill, always enjoy our conversations. See you next year if not before. 😉

We like Wondercide products. This is a Shark Tank start up that's proven to be very successful because the products actually work. No harsh chemicals, just essential oils. Works for all flying and creeping pests. Safe for direct skin contact and won't stain cloths. Pleasant fragrances. Very effective against ticks. Safe for all pets as well. Wondercide

I’ve noticed ours does the same thing. Haven’t figured it out yet other than the only way to assure it stays of is to turn off the switch under the outside cover.
