That's an interesting, and lovely toilet, as toilets go. Small footprint, fairly modern appearance. Reasonable price. Wish I'd seen that before I bought the Separett for the barn. (I thoroughly hate the Separett. ) How long have they had the Ogo?

If you're treating grey tank with pinesol, be prepared for a lot of heavy pine smelling vapors coming from the sink drains, etc. I often use pinesol to clean my toilets at home. But, I run the exhaust fan, afterwards. Otherwise, I smell pinesol for days. Pinesol was on the list of agents that killed covid back in 2020, so I started using it again, then, since disinfectants being very tough to find... but, I scored a gallon of pinesol. 🙂

Since 2008, we use the cushions, plus a topper. Latest version is linenspa, from Amazon. I liked it so much, i ordered it for the second guest room. Everyone has different comfort levels.

Hi, @NomadLife, and welcome to the forum. I've seen the photos of the canopy you shared, and I doubt it's a good option for your Ollie, if you're trying to run your ac while shading your Ollie. Are you a full timer? Are you looking for a portable shade shelter? What are your goals? To protect the gelcoat from the florida sun, we've successfully used a couple of great marine paste waxes over the years on our 2008, applied twice a year. Do you have the solar option on your 2020? Could you amend your profile and signature to reflect your status, please. happy camping.

@CRM, the original demo Oliver had red and black graphics, shown at Q in early 2009. Yours may be the one sold in August of 2009 to a couple in California and Arizona, as it has blue and grey graphics? Not sure. The last one made before the hiatus in December, 2009, went to Jim Oliver, if i remember correctly. . However, I can't really trust 15 yeat old memories. I only remember three, and maybe jims was the demo, so two???. But, maybe Scubarx knows of others. He spent a lot more time at the factory than I did on those days (and still does.) You definitely own a piece of Oliver history. Lucky find!

Unfortunately. You'll need more truck than the cybertruck or the Rivian to pull one of these. My understanding is that even the 24 footer Living vehicle starts out at a whopping 11k dry weight, max towing capacity of either of these electric trucks, and goes up from there. I see they have a new cyberTrailer coming on their website. Hopefully it will be light enough...

Awesome. We'll look forward to your experience.

I don't know what Oliver uses. But you can find many choices at an economical price on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=rv+shower+curtain+track+types&adgrpid=125660158984&hvadid=631614029273&hvdev=m&hvlocphy=9012099&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=e&hvrand=16653121414461455678&hvtargid=kwd-923141368212&hydadcr=1279_13554307&tag=hydsma-20&ref=pd_sl_vqweog91j_e

That is great news, Rodney.

I'm so sorry. Things like this happen so easily when we get excited about a new adventure. And, especially when tired. Thanks for the honest warning.

I couldn't find the correct grommet, so I checked my collection of cabinet door bumpers, and used some of those.

@Steve and MA, have you made Truma and Oliver aware of your disappointing door issue? I also think that's a ridiculous price for a replacement door. I just looked up a replacement (metal) door for our Girard. It's less than $60 on Amazon.

I can certainly follow your rationale. We've had 6 gallons, and currently a Girard instantaneous, installed by Oliver 7 (?) years ago. (Their first instantaneous install, before they were authorized by Truma.) It's been so far trouble free, and not hauling 6 extra gallons of water cuts our weight by almost 50 pounds. However, I'd likely go back to a traditional 6 gallon if it failed. We almost never camp with hookups, so "endless hot water" is pretty meaningless for us, though a nice advantage for those who do. Our Girard runs strictly on gas, which is also ok with us, since we rarely have hookups. But, the also electric of a 6 gallon is a plus for those who do. We all have different camping styles. Glad you found what's right for you. PS add yet another engineer to the list of many. I think Oliver attracts the engineering minds because of the quality engineering of the unit. I know that's what sold my husband, the engineer in the family. I'm just the 40 year apprentice. 😃

We've used ours a lot, over the years. The 12v plug was standard issue in 2008, mounted under the eyebrow over the lower fridge vent, with a waterproof cap. Charging phones and lights, running a small 12v fridge, the tire inflator, and especially helpful in certain seasons to run a FanTastic small 12v box fan to blow the gnats away, it's been very helpful.

Thanks, much, @JWalmsley. You always have our backs. We appreciate you very much.

Nor has any other facility I've ever been to. Trailers in repair centers often get moved around, a lot. The most I've ever seen is a scrap of 2x6, to protect the center's floor, or asphalt in the parking lot.

@George Alexa, the website address will be the same. You likely won't see any difference. We've been through this before. Just the host is changing tonight. Expect some delays and issues tonight. Hopefully, tomorrow will be all good.

No.

Chasing an unchocked, or improperly chocked trailer, can be very scary. Did that one time, dramatically. (Someone else's trailer, about to run backwards down a slight slope, through bushes, to a ten foot drop.) Fortunately, a lightweight, small trailer, and three of us from neighboring sites got it stopped. Good chocks, well placed, follow instructions above. No issues.

There are many types of vhb tape. Anyone know which type AM Solar uses?

I'm wondering how your fridge works at all, on gas. I don't have a photo of mine before we converted to a dc fridge, but I don't see how the exhaust heat can evacuate with all that insulation in place. If someone doesn't answer with a properly vented fridge, send in a ticket. I'm sure Jason or someone can tell you what it looked like before that retrofit...

We replaced the entire unit, and never looked back. The seal was broken on the old fan. It wasn't a huge job, and could have been done from a scaffold or ladder, on the outside, with longer arms than mine. The release mechanism, and bezel, on the inside are different, so my answer would be, I don't think so. Get the new fan, enjoy the overhead light, and don't look back. I think, personally, this should be an upgrade offered by Oliver. It's not a huge price difference, but I do so love an overhead light, and a fuse that can be replaced without tearing the fan apart. I was concerned several years ago, when we changed it out, that fan noise would increase over time. It hasn't, at least for us.

We still haven't installed an accumulator tank in rhe trailer. My solution to th night time racket is to just turn off the pump, through the night. "If it's yelliw, let it mellow." Hand sanitizer. Bottle of water. We had a huge rattle after the (properly sized) accumulator tank in the cabin. (We run off a tank and pump there, too, sometimes. ) We installed a longer line section, with an upward loop in a flexible section, and pretty much solved the problem. Peace and quiet at night. We chased the noise for a month. It's not fun, and every situation is different.
