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.

Thanks Bill, so many choices like you said. This time it will be down the Natchez Trail a bit, then home. I got a list of places to go. But you can believe I will not think all travel trailers are like the Oliver. We did a little research first. Hope to meet you on the road sometime soon!

Our LEII is still in production so I can't give you weights on it yet. We pick it up in mid-October. However, from what I have seen the dry weight of the 2020 LE2 is 4900 lbs and the GVWR of the trailer is 7000 lbs. Spec Sheet Our tow vehicle will be a 2019 Ram 1500 5.7l V8 and has very similar capacities as your vehicle. Payload capacity: 1665 Towing capacity: 11,765 Curb weight: 5235

Great pictures and trip! I hope to do a similar trip soon. We are in the Raleigh area and pick up our Oliver mid October. Seems like we have been waiting forever. We started out as backpackers, then migrated to tent camping. This will be our first experience with a camper/trailer. Better late than never though!
