@SteveCr Did you install the ES on your Truma? If so I am interested in your results. Patriot🇺🇸

Great question for @John E Davies

@SteveCr Interesting. Where I came to a full stop in your post is where you stated “hopefully the Truma will not give any trouble”. As the end user I wonder why Truma does not recommend an ES? There must be a reason. Moving forward, I am choosing to trust the engineers at Truma and Oliver Service recommendations. Given the out lay of cash to have the Truma retro fit done by Oliver, I choose to yield to Oliver Service and the Truma’s engineers caution flag and not install the ES and completely void the Truma warranty. I am thinking in the next 2 years Truma may approve an ES, I am willing to be patient. Did you install the ES on your Truma? Would like to hear your results. Patriot🇺🇸

Although I would like the ES or soft start, I was informed by Oliver Service that installing an easy start or soft start would void the Truma factory warranty and they won’t install it. We are having the Truma installed on May 8th. If I learn anything different I will post up. Patriot🇺🇸

We pre-sold our Dometic to a guy locally here in NC. I had it on FB market place for maybe a few hours. Patriot🇺🇸

No apologies necessary. Your right upgrades can be spendy! We look at our Ollie as our second home which does take a little bit of the sting out of higher ticket items. 👍🏻😊

It appears Air Tags worked in this particular tracking situation. Crime never pays. https://www.foxnews.com/us/airtag-helps-illinois-law-enforcement-track-men-accused-stealing-over-1-million-from-armored-truck

In 4 more days an early Christmas, Birthday, Anniversary…. 😳😂

connor77, I have replaced (2) one over the sink and one over the stove top. My master switch in my Oliver does not turn on the replacement touch lights after this repair. We still have to gently touch them and voil’a let there be light. Patriot🇺🇸 😄

This is an option which we added to our Oliver build sheet. Yes, it’s totally convenient. I have not seen a post where someone has added this mod. Patriot🇺🇸

Here is a fairly straight forward article on the Honda 2200 and some additional info on soft starts. https://www.softstartrv.com/will-a-honda-eu2200-run-with-an-ac-soft-start/ Enjoy the read! Patriot🇺🇸

@Brian and Brandelyne I will be checking air flow in our new Truma after the install next week while at Oliver and will post up if I learn anything helpful. Thanks for the info. Patriot🇺🇸

Received the Air Tags and removed all four speakers. It’s not difficult to do and all four are mute now.

My 3200i will be hopefully soon, I am on the www.hutchmountain.com LP conversion kit waiting list for the EU3200i. I will post up after I receive the kit and run the gen with the conversion kit. I really like the EU3000is LP conversion kit which was a fairly simple install. This gen weighs in at 130# dry and it’s a now tri fuel conversion. LP, LNG, and gasoline. Patriot🇺🇸

@HDRider Correct Honda gens are spendy, but then again so are Olivers. One needs to roll with what suits their budget and puts a smile on their face. 😊 Patriot🇺🇸

I won’t be running our Truma off a 2200i as I don’t own one.Most importantly it’s not recommended for the Truma. So why bother taking a chance and having an issue? I doubt the Truma warranty dept would come to anyone’s rescue. Maybe I am missing something here? Patriot🇺🇸

I suppose any of the above will make do. Oliver Service highly recommends a minimum of a 3000 watt inverter gen. And now with those that choose the optional quieter new Truma Aventa a 3000 watt generator is required if you want to run the AC. I am partial to Honda gens as they have always served me very well. My 02 cents worth. 😊 Patriot🇺🇸

I presently collaborating with a family owned steel fabrication company in developing a “puck lock” security tray for the new Honda EU3200i. The design is very similar to the Honda 2200i. A bit if rough draft work measuring and many photos of the new 3200i. It’s a bit larger than the 2200i with a different bottom where the rubber feet are located. The numbers and design are now in the CAD stage. It will be crafted from 10 gauge metal and powder coated black. This will allow the me to lock the gen down in the Oliver cargo basket during travel covered of course. And the option to actually run it in the cargo basket. I am hoping to have the first copy in a few weeks so I can conduct a fit and finish test on the our 3200i. My measurements have been redacted until final development. I was hoping to have this Rally ready and installed however the timing is not working out. We are headed off to Oliver soon, so it will be after the rally before I can post up a few pics.

A link to the Apple Air Tag hack. A how to disable the AT speaker.

Looks like I will be washing our new Truma filter's. Thanks for posting. Patriot🇺🇸

Here is an interesting video which gives a pretty straight forward way to disable the speaker on an Apple Air Tag. Removal of the speaker eliminates the continuous audible chirp after 72 hrs. Removal of the speaker will not allow a bad actor to hear the chirp, then find and disable the AT by removing the battery after he/she locates it. For example an AT hidden in a car under the seat or in the trunk. Or in a piece expensive camping equipment say a portable generator or even an Oliver TT. The bad actor will eventually figure out there is an AT on the stolen item tracking them if they have an iPhone. Without the speaker chirping it will be more just a bit a lot more difficult to find. A common misconception - the map location is not the location of the air tag, it’s the map location for your truck or campers air tag that would have been the location of the persons phone who parked or walked or drove by close enough for their phone to hear the air tags broadcast.

Hey Max, You could list it here and see what gives? 👍🏻https://olivertraveltrailers.com/forums/33-general-camping-gear-and-accessories-for-sale/ Patriot🇺🇸

We are at site F50. Thanks! Patriot🇺🇸

@Wayfinder If you have it, bring it to the rally, I will take it off your hands if you decide not to install it. Patriot🇺🇸

Your welcome! It’s certainly something an owner can do. We were at Oliver so they took care of us.
