Nice "Halloween" touch to the Oliver Logo

How thick?

Bill, How do you like the "this stuff"? Does it stick as you'd like it to? Any quieting from basement noises will be appreciated. John

Dude! THE BEARD!!! I'm envious :) I don't remember seeing any of that at the rally... Glad ya'll are having wonderful adventures. We'll be back to SC at the end of the month. Somewhere between 21 and 22 thousand miles on the rig by then (big smile)! Happy Trails, John

U guys are livin the life :)

We hope to be there...if we can leave on time from SC :) John

Thanks...I really like your setup. I've been looking for a way to move my Renogy controller from the 100w panel to a place close to my trailer batteries, and the portable, waterproof case seems a good portable solution John

About 4 yrs but still behaves as if new. Yes, it charges to 100% on a/c and approx 70% on solar. Haven't decided on replacement.

TY, John

4 x 6 volt Bright Way Group 220ah AGMs for 440 ah capacity.

I don't know, Bill. I've not decided on the panels yet. Originally I was trying to take advantage of Amazon's price breaks today but have decided to not make any rash decisions, as I want to make the best possible decision with this. My OMMO solar battery will not complete its charge as I think it has its own controller internally and when charging it I've been using Renogy's controller also and I think that's what's preventing a full charge.....but then again, I really don't have a clue. I think 2 controllers are creating the problem with completing the charge.

Thanks, Bill

As in the "AGM" mode as selected on the new panel's controller? Ultimately I'll want to use the new 200w panel to also charge a portable power station, as in a Jackery, etc.

We have 320 watts of panels on top of our E2 and have the Zamp external port on the side of the trailer. Does the Zamp charge controller, inside the trailer, control the external plug? Currently I have a portable Renogy 100w suitcase panel going through its own pwm controller that is mounted on the suitcase. Then I go through the external port, using a reversing plug (because of Zamp's design) to augment the Zamp panels on top of the trailer. It has been helping by reducing the charging time and I'm able to easily aim it at the sun. I'm interested in replacing the suitcase with a 200w flexible setup with an nppt controller, that's much lighter and more helpful. I'm guessing the Zamp port on the trailer is a direct shot to the battery, uncontrolled, and the Renogy pwm controller is doing what it's supposed to do. Can I just put a 200w panel in the place of the Renogy, go through the reversing adapter (if necessary), set up the new panel's controller for my 440ah AGM 6 volt batteries and ... that's it? Thanks for any help, John

Here is where we put ours...thanks for all the help

Could very well have been as you described. Now, with the TST, I'll be able to see low pressure as it happens and the increase in temp. Thanks, John

Thanks so much! Will put in the repeater tomorrow :) John Hope ya'll are doing well .....

Mike, Just installed the TST system, except for the booster. I noticed the monitor is always on, is that normal. I figured the on/off switch would turn off the screen, but it doesn't when plugged in and charging. All seems to be operating normally otherwise. Hope this all works as advertised :) TIA, John

Go AF :)

Thanks, Brian, I appreciate the well wishes :) John

Just a few rubber marks on the outside of the fender, and yes to "very fortunate" :)

We've been at altitude with cool temperatures for the past 3 months between Montana and Colorado. 2022 Oliver with 27000 miles on it and the original tires. We had a blowout on the aft driver's side. I travel at 61 or 62 mph but have very seldom approached 70 mph when descending on the back side of a mountain. I'm only posting this because I did not realize we had a blowout until I heeded a following motorist's flashing headlights, signaling me to pull over. He probably followed me for 5 or so miles and I thought he just wanted to know more about the trailer. We inspected what we could view from the side view mirrors and could not see anything wrong or out of place. I could only see the front tire with my standard sized Silverado side view mirror. We finally pulled over when we came to a place where the road became wider. We did not notice any odd noises, vibrations, or any visual clues that anything was wrong. Our normal 60-62 psi was indicated that morning via our ProSmart, smart tire pressure sensors with our smart phone app. We have no way of checking pressure while we're driving as the bluetooth range is very limited. So, lesson for me.....I will install internal pressure/temp sensors that can be read through Chevrolet's "driver information center". Again, I had no idea anything was wrong until someone notified me to pull over. The aluminum wheel was also damaged beyond repair and while I found the correct sized tire, Discount Tire had to install it on, what appears to be, a trailer rim.

I definitely agree with you Bill! We had ours done 15 months ago and will have our follow-up sometime early next year. The CGI team is top notch in my book and I'd recommend them to anyone. It's soooo nice not having to wax :) John

Same thing happened to mine, Ralph. I put the original back into service. It really helps to shape the end of the pin, a little, on a grinding wheel....makes it MUCH easier to get the pin started into the hole :) John
