  1. I was not able to make the rally, but an Oliver in the wilds of Wisconsin told me there was possible discussion. I would love to join in if I could. Although I can't not lend information on the drive, not having done it. I have been in the interior of the state 11 times hiking and backpacking. It was some years ago, but I might have something of worth. Plus my mother and father did this after they retired telling so many great stories. Let me know... Swamp
  2. I went to winterize my trailer yesterday and my valve was very hard to move. I think a up grade is in future. Thanks for you help in identifying this issue. I hate to be lazy but could you share the info on the lines as well. I like the modification. Swamp
  3. Question, was it increasing more difficult to open/close as the problem developed? Swamp
  4. Thanks Mike with all this great info I am getting closer...Thanks for your help Did you mean the "university" on their website? if so the batteries information mentioned is not applicable to the PN installed on my unit.
  5. I did just find this additional information off the Lithionics website as this subject builds: for the Lithionics 12V130A--G31-LRBM8 Maintenance: For optimal performance when in use, the battery should be fully charged to 14.4V at least once every 2 weeks. Fully charging the battery calibrates the state-of-charge percentage to be the most accurate and allows the cells to balance if necessary. Storage: Storing your battery at the correct specifications is important as it keeps the battery in the healthiest state possible. Consult the table below for proper storage conditions. Storage Temperature & Humidity Range: < 1 Month -4~95°F (-20~35°C), 45~75%RH < 3 Months 14~86°F (-10~30°C), 45~75%RH Long Term Storage: If the battery needs to be stored for > 3 months, the voltage should be 13.2V (50% state-of-charge) and stored at the recommended storage specifications shown above. Additionally, the battery needs at least one charge & discharge cycle every six months. Self-Discharge Rate ≤3% per month. Typical storage example < 1 month: 1. Fully charge the battery. 2. Turn the battery OFF using the battery power button. 3. Keep the battery in an environment according to the specifications shown above. Typical storage example > 1 month, up to 6 months maximum: 1. Reduce the battery state-of-charge to 13.2V, which is 50% ±10% state-of-charge. 2. Turn the battery OFF via the BMS power button. 3. Keep the battery in an environment according to the specifications shown above. 4. Every 6 months, charge the battery to 100% state-of-charge, then discharge the battery to LVC, then charge it back to 50% ±10% state-of-charge. Powering the Battery Off Be sure to shut down any high amperage loads prior to turning the battery off. To turn the battery off, press and hold the power button for 3 seconds. The power button status light will turn off to confirm that battery power is off. It also appears the Xantrex Freedom XC PRO 3000 inverter/charger does not lose its memory when DC power is removed per the Mfg
  6. Hello all 2021 LE II Hull #848, I'm getting ready to storage my Ollie ("Illinois" inside climate controlled) 3 to 6 months storage intervolve: I rewrote this intro to provide what I have found. 2021 LE II Lithium battery 12V130A-G31-LRBM8, Zamp solar package, and Xantrex Freedom XCPRO 3000 w Procedure as I have put together so far. Please help correct this post if I have bad information. Turn off the Zamp system by rotating cut off switch located in drivers upper storage compartment at aft wall of pantry to the off position. Remove all AC connections from trailer this will insure charging is stopped. Discharge the battery system to 13.2v or 50% +/- 10% (run accessories to discharge) Power batteries off by pressing push button switch on each battery for 3 sec insure battery is kept at 14 to 86 deg F and between 45 to 75 % relative humidity Note: these batteries will self discharge at a rate of < than 3% per month and the batteries will need one charge cycle and discharge to 50% every six months if configured like this The Xantrex Inverter/charge should not need reprogramming upon system restart. The above should ensure your Oliver electrical system is properly configured for the winter storage season. Hope this helps Pat
  7. This is funny. I just sent Oliver an email asking for information on the proper way to pickle the LE II electrical system. There is a switch in my 2021 Le II upper aft drivers storage, aft wall of the pantry. But I am not 100% sure how this switch is wired to the trailer system electrical. Per the Battery MFG, the batteries can go 90 days without charging if 100 % charged at the time of shutdown. Pat
  8. I've charged from 20% to full in 90 minutes with my Predator 3500.
  9. LESS STUFF MORE LIFE....adapt life is too short. Hull #848 9k since July this trailer is luxury.... stock . Make room for what is important the answer to your question is all around you. Swamp
  10. Just make sure you DO NOT have a regulator on your cam chef your LP will be regulated by your Oliver. Pat
  11. as of late I have seen a steady decline on responses from Oliver service and sales on matters of defects with my LE II. It feels a little disappointing in the lack of enthusiasm in my needs. I hope others are not experiencing this too, and its just me LOL. I would hate to see a we sold it now its yours deal with kind of thing My List: Inverter not programmed right at the factory I reprogramed Exterior was not buffed correctly- swirls galore Cracked brass check valve at the water heater (too much "blue" teflon tape IMO) I fixed Oliver to reimburse Tire Pressures too high I adjusted Hope it does not continue, albeit, all the above are minor issues and it may be growing pains, the brand is still the best of the best Pat Pat
  12. Your inverter, ie Xantrex Freedom XC Pro 3000 (installed in my 2021 LE II), can be programed, and it should be set up from Xantrex to take a charging current of 30A. https://support.olivertraveltrailers.com/portal/en/kb/articles/xantrex-freedom-xc-pro-inverter-settings With a neutral grounding plug, a must, that may be to much of a draw for a 2000 or 2200 smaller geni. You then need to go into the inverter programing and turn that value down to meet the capabilities of your geni. Granted you will then be doubling your charge time provide you have no other load on the system. Pat
  13. As most of the trailers received the pressures are serviced to 80 PSI from the factory, as they were on my 2021 LE II. After 9K on the trailer since July I have notice the ride is pounding. So I contacted Cooper (standard install on Hull #848) for the Cooper Discoverer HT3 LT225/75R16 M+5, Trailer loaded weight is 5700# and I Quote from Cooper Tire "We rounded up to 6000 lbs for total weight for the trailer. 2 axles with 4 tires under the trailer. At 35 psi cold your would have 1500 lbs cold carrying capacity x 4 tires gives you 6000 lbs total carrying capacity. Yes at 80 psi you have 2680 in each tire or 10720 lbs at 40 psi 1650 x4=6600" I will be down pressurizing my tires to 40 PSI and monitored with a TPMS system. Pat
  14. Hi Swamp,
    I used to be known as Swamp, Bog, etc.  I wonder if we are related.

      HAHA maybe in some way...!

  15. Note: you can tune your Xantrex inverter to only use your gen power for either load or for charging. You can also regulate in those perimeters the amp load limit needed from your gen. IE "3 lithium 130ah batteries" less than 30amps (factory set at 100) down to 15 (50) for your gen. Pat
