Did you hear anything from OTT? We picked ours up October 14 (hull 676) and ours were not balanced either. Are you able to pull your trailer to a tire dealership and have them balanced, or do you need to take the tires off the trailer and carry them to the tire store?

The standard size that they install is a 2" ball.

We have a 2020 LE2 picked up in mid-October. No wheel weights were added so I am guessing they are not balanced. The tires are Cooper rather than Michelin so not sure if the new tire supplier made a difference in whether your tires were balanced.

I had an issue getting it to pull mine also when the bottle of antifreeze was sitting on the ground. I moved the bottle up on top of the bumper and it worked great.

Hi, We just got back from a trip to FL and I am not sure you ever got an answer. If you didn't and it is still and issue, the way you lower the TV on th3 2020 is to push up on the TV a bit, then it will lower.

I have the same issue with our Ram 1500. When we picked it up our Ollie this fall the 48" straight cable was not long enough to reach the hitch and had to attach to the chains. Thank you for the link.

Interested in this since I have a 2019 Ram 1500 also.

It was the HD. Here is a link: https://www.homedepot.com/p/GE-20-Pint-Dehumidifier-ADEL20LY/310574305 The price was 159.00

All the 2020's have an outlet there. I am not sure when it was added. The GE has a bucket and also the option to add a hose to have it drain. I am emptying mine every other day or so. I may shut it off when it gets colder. It becomes less effective below 41, but then the humidity usually drops when it gets that cold here. We are expecting our first freeze here next week. I think they are show 29 on Tuesday morning.

I purchased the Pro Breeze 2200 for ours, but it would not get the humidity down below 60%. So last week I went to the local big box and picked up a 20 pint GE dehumidifier. The GE is a bit large to carry along on trips, but I am happy to report for storage it is working great. I have it set to keep humidity down to 45%. It dropped the trailer to that in less than an hour. I have had a slightly larger GE in my workshop for about 4-5 years and it has worked continuously without problem, so that is the reason I tried another GE. I don't know how Western NC compares in humidity levels with Raleigh area. Hopefully, it is not as bad, but I am guessing it is probably the same. We will use the Pro Breeze when traveling.

This place is on my short list now that we have our camper and is an easy drive.

It is possible but I don't think so. I have an electrician that has helped me out some. I am going to consult with him on the problem. I would like to use the troublesome outlet rather than the one I am using now. The good news is still no issues with the second one. I have been gone for several days and just got back today. I still want to study up some more on the whole electrical (AC / DC Xantrex) system more now that I am back. I much prefer understanding how everything works. Thank you for your thoughts and help.

I will put this on my list of things to check when I get back home. Thank you.

The difference is that I used a different outlet and a 10 ga drop cord rather than a 12ga. I think there were multiple issues going on. At first the GFCI circuit I used was acting fine and tested fine. Later in the day as time went on it started tripping almost as soon as I plugged the system in. The other outlet in the house was probably not a GFCI circuit. I think the 10 ga drop cord also helped with the occasional power drop. It has run fine now for almost 20 hours with no problems.

I think you are on it or close. Fortunately, I found the situation last night before the xantrex shut off. So the batteries got down to 11.5 volts. I immediately everything down at that point.

In my case I may have multiple issues going on. After talking with Jason I purchased a larger (10 ga) drop cord and plugged it in to the outlet. That did not seem to help. The GFIC started tripping even more. Yesterday it did not trip at all. I tried moving the new power cord to a circuit inside the house and it seems to be working great over the past hour. My guess is the GFIC is bad and I will work on replacing that next week. In the meantime I am letting it run. Even with the Xantrex powered of with the buttons, it is still running and my best guess is that it must come on when shore power is found to give power to the AC outlets in the Ollie. I hope it would power itself off in the event of a loss of power or you could end up with the problem Mike mentioned earlier. Anyway, my situation seems to be improving! I will work on getting a dedicated circuit for the Ollie in the next week.

Mine is the Freedom XC 2000, the 3000 comes in the 2021 models with the lithium package I believe.

Susan, I am not sure on your question. What you experienced with your van was what I was expecting. I am not sure, but it seems from what Jason was saying it needs to be on continuously, but I am not sure. I am not sure I followed everything Jason said. I am going to read up more on the xantrex and look for a wiring diagram later, but so much to learn it is hard to capture it all.

I have talked with Jason and here is what we have come up with so far. I plugged the trailer back in and the inverter came back on. I was using a 50 ft 12ga drop cord. With the inverter off there were no errors. When the power was turned on, it came back alive and the EMS eventually showed a PE4 (low voltage message). The microwave came alive and outlets worked. I am going to replace the current 12 ga power cord with a 10 gauge 25 ft cord and see how that does. I am still not sure why the inverter has to be on to get power to the outlets. I am going to have to study up on the Xantrex Inverter manual some more. I have not been able to find a good overall basic wiring diagram for it yet. I will look some more later. I will try a new drop cord for now and let people know how that goes. I am headed out of town tomorrow (not with the Ollie unfortunately so it will be a couple of days before I can do much more). Thank you all for the help!

So far I have found the receptacle at the house tests good with CFGI circuit tester and I borrowed another dogbone connector and still have the same results. I checked the fuse/circuit box (DC distribution panel) under the dinette but I did not find anything for the outlets. I have not found any other panels. Included is a picture of the DC panel on the 2020 LE2. The CFGI outlet on the inverter seems to work when I power it up. The sun is out now and the batteries are being charged as a positive.

Thank you for all the suggestions. Right now I will work on testing the things that have been suggested so far. The power management monitor is reading E0, 123V, 0A 60H. Also the microwave does not have power. I will work on getting a new dogbone connector and sperry tester as suggested by John. I also verified everything again that I mentioned in my earlier postings since these things seem most like to occur late at night :-). Ollie plugged in and the inverter powered off on the inverter box itself (the power button on the inverter display doesn't seem to do anything). There is no power to the outlets. As soon as I turn the inverter on they power up, but I am trying to keep it off so as not to run the batteries down anymore. Another hour or to till the sun comes up!

Thank you for the fast response. The breaker and the GFCI from the house are good and there is power to the trailer. I guess I will call Oliver tomorrow.

A couple of questions please. I have searched the forum and the Facebook page without any success. We picked up our Ollie last week and got back home a couple of days ago. I plugged in the trailer to an outside 15/20amp receptacle at our house using a dogbone adapter, then I hooked up a small dehumidifier. Tonight I noticed the batteries were almost drained. I assumed the power I had connected to would power the ac outlets in the trailer, but they only seem to work via the inverter. They do not work if I turn the Xantrex inverter off using the power switch on the inverter. Do the AC outlets only work from the inverter pulling power from the batteries? Would this related to the 20 amp circuit from my house? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

I would love to see your pictures when you finish. Ours Oliver is still in production, but I would like to do something similar. It is hard to envision without the trailer.
