Thank you all! It is great what you can learn from the forum!

Thanks Ray! I thought I had tried both the open and bypass modes. However, I decided to try and turn the valve more to the right and it did turn more. I was afraid of breaking it off with my pliers. When I turned it more to the right, I finally did get hot water! Oliver refers to a lever or handle on the valve. It would be nice if there actually was a lever or handle on that valve but alas there in fact, is NO handle or lever. I have always used a pliers. Guess I better submit a ticket Oliver to get me that valve handle/lever! Thanks again!

We have a 2020 Legacy Elite II with a Truma water heater. This spring, we are unable to get it to heat the water. There are no warning codes on the panel or on the water heater. When you turn the water heater switch and panel switch to on, and watch the water heater, you can see the flame start. Hot air blows out. It will start and stop two or three times. Then when you go into the camper and turn on the hot water faucet, the water never gets hot. When you go look at the water heater, it looks like the flame is not starting and no hot air is being blown out. I would have decalcified it but we do not have any decalcification tablets. The propane stove and furnace work great. Does anybody have any experience or ideas with this? Thanks much, in advance!

I appreciate everyone's guidance. No worries about the confusion. I think I am starting to get this. Everybody's comments have inspired me to do more research also. Pretty amazing stuff! Our needs seem to be going towards the three regular BBs and keeping the 2000 watt inverter for now. I may change to the 3000 watt inverter before I am finished. With the additional potential of the 3000 watt inverter it seems like a good idea. Battle Born is having a great sale right now but still pretty pricey. I really like your setup above with everything in the battery tray! BB did not say anything about adding a fuse at the batteries but it looks like a very good option.

The AC is definitely loud! We did not realize you could run the microwave on the batteries. We have the 340 W solar... pretty much rookies with our Oliver. We are grateful for you insight! Thanks!

Hey, thanks for sharing you guys! I am trying to decide between using four BB GC2 batteries and three regular BB 100 amp batteries. So you must not be using your batteries for the air conditioner, even the little amount it could be used? Do you have the solar panels? Thanks again!

Wow, that is amazing! It is all showing up now. Thanks so much again!

It looks like a terrific solution. You do great work. I will definitely take a closer look. Thanks, I am grateful for you sharing the design and information.

Wow, very nice. I was afraid they would be too wide. What device have you used in the center to connect them? Also, did you use a BMS installed inside or the blue tooth monitor? Thank you!

We have a Legacy Elite II (2020). Has anyone tried to install 4 Battle Born lithium 100 Ah 12 Volt GC2 upright batteries into what was the stock, 4 lead acid batteries tray? Will 4 of the lithium upright GC2 batteries fit in the existing tray? Thanks much!!

Wow, thanks all! It is great that there is room for four batteries but the four lithiums get pricey pretty fast. It seems that if a person could install four golf cart lithiums then that might be an alternative, and have the golf cart battery benefits. Another alternative that just occurred is to put in two lithium 12 volt batteries instead of four. This forum is forum is great! Thanks again!

Can you use four 6 volt lithium golf cart batteries in the Oliver Legacy Elite II?
