That has happened to us a few times after plugging into shore power and no charging. Had to reset breaker on the inverter and it started charging. Its happened 3 times

battery hatch door came open a few times. I machined a longer lock mechanism and sort of fixed the problem. but the real problem is the where the door attaches to the bottom of the shell. so the door is comng loose and has dropped half an inch. thats why I had to lengthen the latch. the whole door needs to be reattached. any tips out there?

with ac on and compressor kicked on it was drawing a total of 80 amps cooling on low. going camping for a few days now but won't need ac til next july for us it is having an ac that we can actually use now that it is so much quieter

It was cool. After 2 hours batteries down to 85% when compressor kicks in it’s drawing 37 amps each battery But so quiet, worth the money

we just had our Dometic ac replaced with the atmos 4.4 unit and we are so happy so much Quieter now I am using the lithium batteries and I will attach a few pics. At least when boondocking we can cool down for a couple hours on a hot afternoon. for us it is a huge improvenent over the Dometic our Olliver Elite came with when th compressor cycles on each battery is showing 37 amp burn After 1 hour battery level down to 96 % IMG_1675.mov

we are in Livingston, Montana and close to Bozeman -
it started making a bad noise like a fan was grinding then quit. rather than repair it we would like to replace it with a unit that is quieter. we can't use it because its too loud. I turned it on last week and now it just shuts down and no fan comes on. I've looked at different threads on ac replacement but need advice.

so bottom line I bought a blackstone griddle with side burner and a fitting from amazon and all problems solved .
-
the hinge on the bottom is a little loose but its grommeted in. moves almost a half inch. so now latch won't even hold it closed. I'm thinking of bending and fashioning a new one drilling a bolt hole and bending it in a vice. hope this will work to keep it closed. Has anyone had a similar problem> thank you skipster

A friend of mine installed a mini split on his big Rv And you can hardly hear it. Why can’t Oliver figure out how to install a quiet ac . we can not use ours because of the overwhelming noise

our inside windows have popped out enough that now we take them off and lie them on the bed during travel and pop them back in when we arrive.

seems to me the quick connect ports on the trailer are pretty useless since I can not connect the grill. Lots of work and hassle to bypass the trailer regulator.

thanks for all the information. I would guess that the coleman stove I have needs high pressure like what comes out of a disposable propane bottle. I think I will stick with the diposable bottles for now. I bought a 30' hose and had the gas company connect a fitting that screwed into coleman regulator and the other end the quick connect. yes,lowpressure gas. seems like a pain so will hold onto the hose for the future . skip #822

has anybody had issues with not getting propane pressure using the forward and aft quick connects on the propane lines. I can not get enoough propane to fire up my coleman portable stove. It works fine with the small disposable propane bottles. I am getting gas through the line but very low pressure. Any ideas out there would be appreciated thankyou skip nielsen hull # 822

Our fix is a dab of goop on the upper and lower trac they can be snapped out easy enough but still stay in place on a rough road

We have been towing our Elite 1 for the past 3 years with our 2017 6 cylinder jeep trailhawk grand cherokee. we have been happy with the towing. but we see the need not to go up hills at 35 and 40 mph in 3 rd gear. would anyone care to comment on whether the same vehicle with a v8 motor would do better on the slopes? looking to upgrade my tow vehicle but really don't want a big truck . thanks in advance skip nielsen

fresh water tank is not draining hardly at all. I cleaned the filter next to the water pump and it was full of shaved plasttic pieces and sludge. I am wondering if the tank drain is clogged as well. Can I get underneath ollie and put a hose to the drain and backflush it? before I do something wrong asking for advice.

thankyou
