We don't use C-Pap. Just wondering ☺️

Does the solar tax credit apply to RVs? It says "residential and commercial".

Where do those with C-Paps plug in?

In our current RV (LTV Unity motorhome), all outlets work on 120v, including the inverted plugs. I'm not certain if the setup is the same. On our RV, the inverter has an on/off switch. Regarding computer power: we have a 400w portable inverter that plugs into 12v socket. We use it in our vehicles for power. Would this work for computer? Where are 12v plugs located?

Norcold?

Can someone with a 2020 model EII tell me the number and location of 120v outlets in the Twin floorplan. Anyone with a 2021 yet? Same question. Thanks.

Does anyone know if the Norcold fridge now being used by Oliver has a dedicated fan switch?

I was told the 2021 models will have a different make of TV/radio components.

Recommendations for spare regulators? A DIY video for trouble shooting and emergency replacement of offending regulator would be nice for those of us who are less mechanically minded 😀

Every RV we have owned (only 3) has had a battery disconnect, though we have never used it, relying on keeping the RV plugged to shore power when idle for long periods. Two questions (disclaimer - I am not an expert on batteries): 1. I see how using a battery disconnect switch would eliminate the phantom draws that will draw a battery down, over time. But what about battery maintenance? Isn't it a good idea to keep a battery, when not in use, connected to a trickle charger or other means of keeping the battery active and healthy, much like humans working out? We have numerous vehicle batteries on our ranch (Cat, tractor, sawmill) as well as lawn tractor/mower, motorcycle and ATV batteries. Those not used frequently are regularly hooked to a charger to maintain integrity. Auto dealerships do the same with their showroom vehicles; I'm sure those out on the lot have batteries removed for securiity. 2. I don't know what percentage of RVs have battery disconnect switches, but there must be a reason Oliver trailers do not come with one installed. Or, even offered as an option.

Did the toilet supply line have plastic shards as previously mentioned? If this is a common occurrence would it be prudent to ask Oliver to check the water system for plastic before taking delivery?

I'm trying the bookmarks folder in my browser. Thanks!

Does double-duty if one of the campers snores!

II just love Ikea! I could definitely live in a tiny home . . . . . . if I didn't have a husband 😉

RMD8555. It is 3-way, but really only works well on propane. It is not as efficient storage wise, with no shelves in the freezer door and the plastic fridge shelves are poorly situated with little adjustment. We added the wire hanging shelf (picture 3). The crisper bin, as supplied by Dometic is one big drawer with a divider; we replaced it with two pull out plastic bin drawers. It has never cooled well, for us anyway. We have to run it on the coolest setting (level 5) and make sure to avoid direct sun on the fridge side of the van to keep the temp below 40 degrees. I suspect the plastic shelves impair airflow some which makes cooling less efficient. It could also be something about the installation in our particular RV. We had one of the older Dometic two-door fridges with wire shelves in a 5th-wheel and it worked so much better. No electronic controls; the temp adjustment was a sliding mechanism on the front of the cooling fins. I will be so glad to be rid of the RMD8555; but it does have cool blue lights.

Perhaps in a small fridge, a light would take up precious space? Our RV Dometic fridge (which I do not like) has plastic shelves and blue LED lights. However, I find the light is mostly blocked by food in the fridge, so pretty useless.

One of our previous cars (sport sedan Mazda 6) had some sort of heavy duty paint finish along the side panels under the doors. I don't recall how effective it was, but seems like it might be something Oliver should consider for the underside of the lower hull.

Will 30# tanks fit in the LP storage space when the Halo spacers are used?

I don't believe Oliver trailers have a battery disconnect. You would need to unhook the batteries

I like that it is also free-standing so you could use it multiple places. Would be handy in the home kitchen too. Does it have a lid?

Thanks, Sherry. Our water source is from a spring fed catch basin, but it does get silty and leaf stained certain times of the year. We do not treat it; had it tested for heavy metals, chemicals and bacteria; just the usual coliforms, (no E. coli.) and no heavy metal or chemical contamination. We have not tested the water after it has been filtered through the Berkey, but we've never had issues with intestinal upsets, etc. We live in a very rural setting with quite a bit of wildlife. We do keep the catch basin protected. On the road, we only use water from public sources and trust it to be relatively safe, but would like to filter regardless. I have not heard of Pur maxion/lead filtration. Will investigate, for sure. We would only be using filtered water for drinking, coffee, and cooking, so about 1-2 gal per day. Is that a reasonable amount for the filter you mention?

We ordered the end of June, but deferred delivery until early February as we didn't want to be traveling from the PNW in the dead of Winter. February will be interesting enough, but also hoping to avoid spring tornadoes, thunder storms and flash floods. Not the weather we are accustomed to where we live😁 The wait will be hard, but it gives us time to plan and enjoy one more trip in our Leisure Travel Van before putting it up for sale. Can't wait to step into our new Oliver!

Are both dishpans fit into the sink? Could you possibly take a photo of your setup? I often use one of the dishes/pans from meal prep as a dishpan and a small plastic serving bowl that we use in the bathroom when we don't want water going into the black tank (our van's bathroom sink drains into the black tank. The idea is to add some liquid and possibly soap to keep the black tank more fluid)

How do you use the sink and the rack at the same time. . . . . I usually wash dishes in a small basin placed in the sink which allows me to rinse them in the sink too. Then I place them in a rack or on a drying mat on the counter. I'm thinking of using the bit of counter in front of the microwave deleted cabinet using a drying mat and perhaps a folding bamboo drying rack we have. Don't have our Oliver yet, so not sure how it will all pan out . . . . I've looked at the roll up rack; thank you for sharing how well it fits the Oliver sink. Certainly food for thought. Thanks for sharing.

We use a gravity filter at home (Berkey type) for our spring fed water. I love the simplicity of it, with no moving parts (mostly) and no reliance on a power source. Does anyone here use one in your Oliver? I'm especially wondering where you carry it while on the move. With our van RV we have always taken bottled water from our home filter and refilled jugs or purchased water along our route, since having the gravity unit in the van was a bit prohibitive, though I know many motorhomers use one. With a trailer, I'm thinking, some sort of rack to hold the filtration unit securely in a permanent location and then refill gallon jugs as they are emptied. Any comments or suggestions? For those who go this route, what size filter system is sufficient for 1-2 gallons per day of water for drinking, coffee, and cooking? Our home filter is a 3 gallon size; we use 4 filter cartridges and it usually filters 3 gal overnight, depending on how turbid the water is. Thanks
