My wife and I reserved a site. There are plenty available now, but considering it’s near Easter & Spring Break, it would be good to book it soon if you want to go. Looking forward to it!

@John and Jodi I’m not a plumber but I understand what @CRM is saying. It will be a major hassle to cut and refit those ABS drain pipes the way that OTT usually does it. The result might be a plumbing mess, and regardless, it’s still a poor design. One possible solution might be removing the P-trap and replace with a Hepvo valve. You could use the existing incorrectly installed sanitary tee, and with some creative plumbing install the Hepvo valve horizontally down low on the basement floor. I do not know how well this would work, but throwing it out there for the more competent plumbers to consider. Anyone ever use these Hepvo valves? See link for installation ideas in RV’s. https://hepvo.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/HepvO-US-RV-Plumbing-Applications-June-2021.pdf

Here’s another photo that shows how it is installed. Replacing that screen is now on my task list. Thanks to @Wayfinder for bringing the screen situation to our attention, I would probably have never noticed it. And thanks to @Rivernerd for alerting us to a potential problem. https://olivertraveltrailers.com/forums/topic/11495-fresh-water-tank-overflow-condition/#comment-126984

Did you see the manual? It’s got over a dozen diagrams in it, I just did a snip of one of them. Most of the circuits are shown.

https://olivertraveltrailers.com/oliver-university/ The best wiring diagram I can find is in the 2019 manual. See link to Oliver University. Many of us have appealed to OTT unsuccessfully for wiring diagrams. I saw a previous post from you that indicated you had LiTime batteries installed by a technician. Did they by chance install an ANL fuse or a circuit breaker? If so, that should be checked. What is the voltage of your batteries? It should show on your solar controller and also your See Level display.

My 2021 model has a 12V 60A circuit breaker under the street side bunk.

Perhaps your salesperson could advise you?

@Chuck and Beth Oliver changes brands of components every few years, for various internal reasons I suppose. Everything from batteries, solar panels, refrigerators, controllers, furnaces, wheels, axles, AC, etc, For example, I’ve got Zamp 340W solar panels and controller, no inverter, all 12V electrical, and a small pantry instead of a microwave. Our trailers all look alike, but the components, wiring, and plumbing vary by model every few years. That’s why it’s beneficial to list your model year in your signature, easier for others to help identify and troubleshoot.

I have a Zamp port on the street side of my 2021 model near the battery box. It’s rated for 20A max, but is equipped with a 10A blade fuse inside the trailer, which is a good match for my 140W portable Zamp panels. I have 340W panels on the roof. I’m not sure what the 2022 models have for side ports.

Welcome! We bought a lightly used 2019 Elite 1, had it a few years. We never used the rear table and kept the bed made. It had a custom made mattress from Southern Mattress the previous owner had installed. It was OK, but it was heavy and tall. I reluctantly sold the Elite I and bought a new Elite II with twin beds (my wife won that battle:) Before we took delivery we ordered custom fit memory foam mattresses from Tochta, we really like them. They can probably make one for the E1 if you want. We prefer the single piece foam mattress over the multiple layers. . As you know, there is a large space under the bed in the center. This is where our dog bed was, our large Labrador liked sleeping under there. It can also be used with a storage bin, or a 12V auxiliary refrigerator. We carry one of those in our truck, fill it with frozen food. https://southernmattressnc.com/ https://www.tochta.com/

I received email reminders from Josh White @ OTT. Last one was 8/20. You may not be on the list or maybe being flagged as spam. Perhaps they closed it down early because it’s full. But there are always cancellations, so give them a call and check on your email situation.

There should be 3 fuses under the street side bunk, one for each jack. They are easy to find if you look there.

Appreciate your feedback Chris. I recall reading that too, but several owners in your post report otherwise. Please explain. Apparently Oliver is satisfied with Dexter parts durability as that is what they are using on new Apex model. Perhaps you misunderstood my comments. I would never suggest re-using old and/or worn parts. @DanielBoondock has a 2026 model, and has said he lubricated his wet bolts. They should be inspected of course, but there should be essentially no wear on the bolts or shackles. If any wear, it will be the bronze bushings in the springs, which of course are being replaced. I’m not knocking Alcan, I am a customer, just haven't received my springs yet. I’m only summarizing what I’ve read. All of these reported shortcomings are not deal breakers, they are just not ”optimal”. Working together, we can do better, but it’s important to get the facts straight and pay attention to the details on our running gear. We are moving in the right direction, and have Oliver’s attention.

Yes, it’s built on the Tacoma chassis. It’s a light vehicle. The 2026 non-hybrid has a 2.4L turbocharged engine, which works just fine as my wife’s grocery getter.

I own a 2026 4-Runner, and I used to own an Elite 1. Even if the numbers indicate it’s possible, I wouldn’t recommend it.
