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

Thanks for the replies, just what I needed to know

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

I really messed up. dewinterizing I forgot to turn the valve allowing fresh water to enter the water heater. it got very hot.. now after opening the valve and filling it with water the pressure relief valve is spewing water and I can not get it to reseat. do I need to replace the pressure valve? or is there a simpler solution

try ceramic coating on front end of ollie washes off with a hose. so easy bugs do not stick.. took me a whole day washing, wiping off with alcohol and doing 2'squares at a time. lasts a year. incredible shine and so easy to clean

after 2 nights at 6500' my norcold performed perfectly. Cycling on and off with the thermastat. So opening the gap between the electrode and burner to 3/16th inch made the difference and I am a very happy camper. hull #822

and John thanks for the compressor fridge idea. that will work. the other option was changing the orifice jet but not for now. thanks again

ok. maybe a fix! tried getting hold of norcold no luck but on another forum someone had fixed a similar issue by opening up the gap between the burner and electrode to 3/16". my setting was way less than that so after adjusting the gap it fired up on the first click. I am leaving it on to to see if it will cycle properly. Jason called me from Oliver service and pretty much said the same. so thankyou for all the help forum members. will hopefully work now at altitude and here in liivingston,mt at 4400'

thankyou much for the thoughts. Monday I will call a local dealer/repair service and get them to service the jet etc

I will call around locally and see if an rv place in bozeman could find time to adjust the norcold

well we just got back from a week at Quake Lake and Beavercreek campground in montana near yellowstone. we precooled the fridge on ac power at home then last day turned it to the propane option. it stayed lit until 8 pm at 6200' the first night then quit. no matter what I did it will not light. I can hear the sparker snapping but it acts like its not getting gas. home now at 4400' and it fired right up. luckily we have the solar/lithium package and I was able to run the fridge on battery power 2 hours a day for the first 3 days . I am going to call norcold monday and also oliver to see if I can somehow make this fridge work over 5500''

its brand new. I will look at it this morning. hull #822. thank you

we tried numerous times to light it. just would not catch until we got down to lower altitudes. Maybe there is an adjustment we can make?

We drove through Columbus last Sunday on our way home to Livingston we have an Elite 1. Hull #822 would be fine to show it off to you

No would not light at 7800’.

Thx. Hope mine work next week at 6500’. If not driving to buy ice

We tried lighting it plenty but would not light. And an F message would come up. Back dow to below 6 k. Lit right up

thanks for the reply. we did that trip to the green river campground last year... wonderful. It ran till we set up camp but would not relight. fine at 5300' at another campground later. we do have the norcold 3 way

we too can't handle the noise.. what a shame. we cool off the ollie then run the fan and open the windows. very hot last week. My wife can not stand anything in here ears or headphones to sleep with. I put ear plugs in but too we just can't use the ac except to cool off the interior

we had the same happen to us. drew the battery down while on auto not plugged into shorepower. we have learned since to leave it on the gas setting always when not plugged into shorepower. Everything works good this way. Our problem now which I just posted in another thread is lighting the gas burner on the fridge at high altitudes.
