Hello, I have searched the forum, but not ben able to find a link to purchase a new water pump filter. I have a 2021 Elite1 and my filter housing has cracked. Where can I purchase a new one? Thank you in advance. Bill

Update - issue resolved. I changed the temperature differential on the thermostat from "d1" to "d2". As described in the owners manual, when the system is off, push the down arrow and power buttons at the same time and adjust from d1 to d2 setting. I have no idea why the system would try to cycle the AC while in furnace mode, but this resolved my issue. Thanks to Mike Wyant on the FB group for the solution.

I have a 2021 Elite 1 and have slept several nights in the 30s (never much below 30). I usually heat the trailer to about 60-65 when go to bed. I turn the furnace off or very low (50) and go to sleep. By the morning, the trailer is High 40s - low 50s. It consumes only about .2 to .4 volts of my battery (run the fridge on propane, not DC). I hope that helps. Have fun and enjoy the trip. Bill

Boondocking with no hookups in Elite 1. Running the furnace. Thermostat fan speed set to Auto. The AC fan is not running, but I am hearing a strange "clicking" sound coming from AC. It sounds as if something is trying to cycle on/off... Any ideas?

@ScubaRx Did you reuse the hardware to rehang the rod? I am having difficulty removing the piece of hardware that is screwed directly into the shelf . See attached pics. Any suggestions for removing the screws that hold this piece of hardware?

Has anybody repositioned the hanging rod in the closet? I have an Elite 1 (2021 model). The hanging rod is too close to the door to be very useful for hanging clothes. I have searched the forum for various topics, but haven't found any threads on this topic. I wonder if anybody has done this mod? TIA - Bill

I use the common Camco blue water filters to fill the fresh tank and when we are connected to city water. We don't drink from the trailer but take our drinking water separately. We use water from the tank and city connection for dishes and showering only. QUESTION: How often do you replace the cheap Camco water filters? Thanks in advance for your input.

Thank you so much. I have been thinking about this since I got my Ollie 1 year ago. This solves a real hassle for me. My trailer is a 2021 Elite 1. Every time I travel I have to plug in the fridge cord to the outlet (if I want ot run the fridge off AC). Obviously, this requres me to remove a drawer and and stretch my arm back there, feel around and plug it back in. For some reason, the plug always dislodges during travel. I have tried to secure it with zip tie and duck tape.....to no avail. Thanks for the detailed instructions. Bill

Rally is full. I just received notificaton that I have been placed on the waitlist. Sorry for not registering and posting about this rally sooner. Maybe next year.

I am registering for the Bluebonnet Casita rally April 19-24 near Bandera TX. There are three other Olvier owners currently registered. I hope to learn more about fiberglass trailers and meet other owners. If you are able, please consider joining the Oliver contingent at this rally.

On my rig (picked up in February) the QCs worked on the front and back connection. But levers don't "snap forward". I have to manually slide them forward after inserting the male and having the female coupler properly connected . It works the same on the front disconnect and the back disconnect. If you have figured it out on the front, you should be abe to connect the rear. Also - you do have propane in the tank and the valve opened at the bottle? If so, I think a call to Oliver Service is the next step. Bill

You have found the small lever that slides back and forward to open and close the quick connect valve? If I remember correctly, you push the lever back to attach the quick connect and pull it forward to open the valve after the fitting is attached. It is generally described at about the 4 minute mark of this video:

You crack me up. I had a similar reaction reading this thread. I thought I was the only one who has spent too much time and money thinking about something as simple ascamp chairs. For the record, we use these https://bit.ly/2P3Wybh and usually carry 4. Reatively inexpensive ($50 at REI) and pretty durable.

I am embarrassed that this simple fix took me as long as it did; but I spent a good hour on it....Almost all of the time was spent feeling my way behind the galley, and trying to get my light and a small mirror to see back there. I never could get a decent look at the plug. Honestly, I was doing other stuff while I was fixing this too. I was sanitizing the water lines and fresh tank, and installing some permanent plumbing connections in place. I also spent some time figuring out exactly how the drawer slides work. I am easily distracted.....This little trailer has become my new toy....

Just to add to this thread... On my 2021 Elite 1, I also had the Norcold Code 10 issue, exactly as decribed above. My cord had become completely unplugged (not merely loose). I had a heckuva time locating the outlet box and getting the plug inserted into the holes. On my rig, the plug goes in facing aft (towards the rear of the trailer). I highly recommed a small mirror and light and some patience. Also - please disconnect shore power when you are blindly feeling around the outlet box to find the holes. After re-inserting the cord into the outlet, I secured plug with some duct tape. I tried the best I could to get a decent picture to share with this forum, but I was unable to get anything that looked decent. I reported the issue to Mike at the Oliver Service Desk who helped me along the way. He seemed familiar with this common issue and was ready with the trouble shooting steps. He also indicated there were screws that could be removed to gain access to this area behind the galley, but I was never able to locate the screws and so I was forced to reach back there and feel my way through it. This issue is very simple to resolve, but it is a booger to get the fridge plugged back in.
