Truma VarioHeat E8H error
Dennis and Melissa replied to Todd B's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
If this ever happens to me I will certainly be looking to change brands. Are there any other options? -
tongue jack switch???
Dennis and Melissa replied to Dennis and Melissa's topic in General Discussion
It worked! Thanks everyone. 1). Those fuses under the bed are really hard for me to work with. 2) What is the fuse on the jack post for? -
tongue jack switch???
Dennis and Melissa replied to Dennis and Melissa's topic in General Discussion
I replaced the switch with the one from Amazon. Looks simple and clean. I think it’s right. But it doesn’t work🤣 But I don’t think the switch is the problem. The light on the jackpost doesn’t work now either. And I haven’t touched that. So I’m pretty sure I blew a fuse. I pulled apart the in-line fuse that is on the post and that looks good. Is there another fuse on the circuit or a circuit breaker I should check? for what it’s worth the other two jacks still work I’m a little lost at this point. Thanks in advance -

That’s not a phone number for Barker. It’s the “ Barker manufacturing number” that uniquely identifies the part -

Thanks to both of you. Ordering tomorrow and will let you know how it goes. Hooray for the Oliver community once again! -

Dennis and Melissa replied to Dennis and Melissa's topic in General Discussion
I just got off the phone with Oliver technical support They gave me a Barker number 736-2300 which appears completely legit However, getting that part is going to be tricky given our travel schedule. There’s an off-the-shelf six pin replacement that should work that I can buy for 10 bucks just about anywhere. But then I have to do some wiring myself. I think I know what needs to be done, but I’ve never done it before. It could be a bit tricky. -

I need to buy a new one of these Can someone who speaks electric tell me what it’s called so I can buy one on Amazon? I think it’s some variation of “double throw momentum”. But not sure how to specify the exact one Thanks -

If you get in an accident and it causes $10K damage to your trailer, immediately get in another to total it. Just kidding. Best of luck. FWIW, we use Progressive. -

Truma VarioHeat E8H error
Dennis and Melissa replied to Todd B's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
I've been chatting with another Oliver owner who had the exact same error yesterday. My understanding is that it's some sort of "E"lectrical error with the "H"eater. That could mean: loss of signal between heater and the display (loose wire?) loss of power to the unit (different loose wire?) loss of power to the igniter or something else I think that's where the suggestions of resetting the various power supplies comes from. I've been told that listening the heater start up may narrow the investigation. e.g. If you hear the fan, the heater has power? If you hear the igniter clicking, it's got power? If you hear nothing, power is not getting to the unit? etc. Alas, I have no answers. But, if they report back a solution, I will let you know. If you find it first, please report back. Thanks, Dennis -
Travel from D'lberville, MS to Maine
Dennis and Melissa replied to dewdev's topic in General Discussion
This fall we will be attending the rally in AL, but coming from Niagara Falls. So, kind of similar? We are choosing a pretty "super-highway-friendly" route this time: Niagara->Watkins Glen-> New River Gorge-> Panther Creek SP-> Lake Guntersville. With multi-night stops along the way. Enjoy your trip. -
How to make a 2-ton deer fly trap…
Dennis and Melissa replied to Galileo's topic in General Discussion
I am never going anywhere near MN in July. 😜 -
We got a tour of the new, bigger Casita last month in Sesquicentennial Park Campground (Columbia, SC). For what it is, it is really nice. Of course it's obviously not the quality of an Oliver. But it's also half the price. And it had a dry bath and a full-ish fridge with a dedicated freezer. It will make a lot of campers really happy.

Our Ollie is the first trailer we've owned. Moreover, the truck we pull it with is the first truck we've ever owned. As luck would have it, on our very first trip, having just picked up the trailer from Hohenwald, we were rerouted off of the highway due to construction. After a few miles we came across a beautiful covered bridge. 9 ft. I had no choice but to perform a "3 point" turn. Right in front of someone's driveway. After my 3rd or 4th (very clumsy) attempt, a car pulled up behind me. Of course, it was the owner of the driveway. And I was blocking her way. 🤪 She was extremely understanding, even complimenting us on the pretty trailer. Thank God for nice people. Another couple of tries and we got turned around. She smiled and waved us on our way. In about 20K miles of towing since then, we have not encountered a single low bridge. P.S. I am a little better at 3 pt turns now. 😁

OMG, no trailers. 🤪 We did it in our truck. Almost everyone else we saw that day was in a Jeep. Thrill of a lifetime. P.S. depending on how you do it, you can go right past the Thelma and Louise jump site. 😁

Loved it when we did it. Shaeffer Trail isn't very far from there, and it's even crazier! 🙂

Thanks everyone. I bought 2. One is already functioning as a replacement. The other has been added to the Ollie's garage. 🙂

Dometic D21 Cooktop Ignitor Doesn't Spark
Dennis and Melissa replied to OffWeGo's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
It is very dangerous to put a cigar cutter in that drawer. Wife might find it and "accidentally" throw it away. Cigar cutters should be kept hidden under your socks. Just like at home. -
Lowering Television For Viewing
Dennis and Melissa replied to Tony and Rhonda's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
Since we typically watch the TV while "seated" in bed (we have the twins), I thought that was a FEATURE not a BUG. 🤣 -
I’m not even sure that’s what they are called. But mine have started to fail, even wiggling out on occasion. 😩So I want to buy 2 new ones. I can’t find them on the internet and the mothership doesn’t have them for sale. Any ideas?
