Oliver should provide you printed and bound copies of the exact same docs that are in the Oliver University. I received 3 booklets: 1) Owners Manual 2) Standard Features Guide and 3) Optional Features Guide. You’ll notice the individual components manuals are from the OEM and usually mention the warranty. I personally have downloaded .pdf of these on several devices, along with many other OEM technical manuals in my offline library. I don’t bother to carry the paper copies in the trailer, prefer to use my iPad.

It’s factory installed in the newer trailers. Just inside the door on left side wall, above the switches as @SeaDawgmounted hers. I regret I don’t have a pic of mine to show.

@Seadawg is correct. My 2020 trailer came with 2 standard lead acid deep cycle batteries, no extra cost. I also had the optional solar package with controller (no longer an option). See pics, my batteries looked just like @Ralph Mawyer, sealed. Controller was set at Lead Acid, not AGM. I used them for about a week, they worked well! However, I couldn’t resist the urge for more power, sold them on Facebook Marketplace, and replaced with 2 BattleBorn Lithium.

I haven’t noticed any.

I had a black DB on previous TV, and now I have the polished aluminum on my current TV. The black looked better (to me), but was hot! I live in SW Florida and it was way too hot to touch for a good part of the year. That translates to a surface temp of ~140F or higher, which makes the cargo space hot. The polished version is several hundred $ less expensive and significantly cooler.

Sometimes the fixed middle section gets in my way, not often. It’s sturdy, it is essentially another level to put cargo on, stand on, etc. The front and rear lids come off fairly easily. So, for example, if I load my pressure washer in there, which is too tall, I can just remove the rear lid and set it in the garage. If I carry my dual sport motorcycle, I take the entire cover off, takes about 15-20 minutes I’d guess, not rushing. Mine doesn’t leak, but I think that’s partly luck, because none of these things are waterproof. All things considered, I like it, but I don’t think it’s worth selling your Backflip and buying one.

I’m sitting in #797 right now, so I should be able to answer the question for 2021 E2 models. AC Outlets: 1) Outside near the hot water heater 2) Under forward dinette seat 3) Under pantry close to SS bed 4) Over Curb Side bed under rear attic cabinet 5) Over Galley counter under cabinet 6) Inside rear attic 7) Inside the forward cabinet on the curb side USB/12V Outlets: 1) Under forward dinette seat 2) Over Street Side bed under rear attic cabinet 3) Over Curb Side bed under cabinet next to Galley I’ve got no complaints, don’t need more. I have a short extension cord just in case. I wouldn’t want one anywhere near the wet bath. My wife stands outside the bath and blow drys her hair hair in the big door mirror.

Details to follow…..

Several posts with photos about Diamondback covers at this link.

No power outlet below the closet door in my 2021. OTT must have eliminated it. Nearest one is under the forward dinette seat.

I failed to mention it in my reply above, but I have a 2020 gasser….with a steel driveshaft. Only the aluminum shaft models were recalled, but the point of my post was that my vehicle had same problem. As the article pointed out, F150’s were recalled for same reason some time back. So if you have an F150, and you were not recalled, I think it’s worth a check.

Many thanks Frank! This is important! After I read your post I crawled under my 2020 F250 and found the insulator had come loose as described in the press release, and was rubbing on the driveshaft. The insulator is held in place with adhesive patches that apparently failed. My driveshaft is steel however, not aluminum as described in the news article. Nevertheless, it’s still a problem. It’s the shaft up forward, behind the transmission. I called my dealer and made a service appointment tomorrow morning. They advised my truck is NOT listed in the recall, aluminum driveshafts only, but it is covered under warranty. I also called Ford Customer Service and confirmed, but I asked them to take note that the problem includes steel driveshafts also. You can see from the pics that the steel heated up enough to cause a slight color change, and I can feel some smooth wear channels that go around the shaft. I followed Franks advice, and I encourage everyone with a Ford Super Duty 2017-2022 to check it out themselves.

Timely post, I’m also using my vintage Coleman 2 burner stove. I’m reluctant to give it up for sentimental reasons, but unfortunately it won’t operate off the low pressure QD on our trailer. I don’t use the small green bottles, I carry an extra 20 lb tank with a conversion hose. Griddle pans readily available to fit the stove. I’m worried it’s going to die soon so I’m researching new stoves.

No need to get out of bed! The thermostat on the newer models will connect to an app on your phone.

I like Craig’s Water Transfer Pump solution, using the fresh water inlet. Keep your bed made, valves in normal position, make only one trip outside. It has the additional benefit of always having a spare onboard water pump on hand. I’ve only got a heavy twin bed mattress to fuss with, but now this project is on my wish list.

My Garmin RV785 gps has a dash cam. I leave it on all the time, seems to work well. My truck shuts off the power after 30 minutes or so, so I don’t drain my start battery,

Glad it worked out. Had a bit of trouble with our Vizio in our 2021, but Vizio Tech Support helped. It was all related to outdated software. Suggest you run the updates from Settings when connected to good WiFi.

I’m getting some good ideas. We keep it simple, and use a compact camping percolator on the gas stove, just like the ones Road2Trails and Frank-n-Val show in their pics. We like our coffee strong and a little bitter, so that’ll do it. Don’t stray too far from stove, or risk burning the coffee, but it’s easy. Regarding Cowboy Coffee, this guy is an expert. I haven’t used his technique yet (no egg), but I want to try it soon. https://youtu.be/7UAoT21eqXI

If you want to carry fewer tools, the wheel lug wrench that OTT provided me is also a 1/2” breaker bar. I just carry an inexpensive 1 1/16” socket to remove the drain plug.

It is installed on the positive wire between the panels and the input of the controller.

My 2021, #797 had a BlueSeas disconnect installed as standard. Upper cabinet, street side, with access port to get behind it.

I don’t think it matters either, but I assume the tanks are still grounded to the frame through the hold down clamp.

On our wish list is to add an RTT so our children & grandchildren can join us on adventures. Some of them are not comfortable with night critters.

We have a Diamondback also. We have the optional toolbox under the forward compartment for all the small stuff. Not difficult for me to reach in and get what I need, but my wife cannot without a stool. Pros: Ease of removal by myself (~ 15 minutes), very secure from theft, does not leak, strong enough to stand on or load gear on top. I carry a dual sport motorcycle on trips occasionally so I take the cover off and store in my garage. Cons: It’s very expensive, but same logic as Oliver vs SOB. I had a black coated one on my previous truck. I liked the way it looked, but it got too hot to touch (~140F) in the hot sun. This one is the shiny aluminum which matches the rear decking on the Oliver, reflects the heat well, costs several $ hundred less. Next mod is to mount a bike & solo canoe rack.
