got the latch fixed and on the list will be repairing the battery slide out box which is coming loose too thank you all for the information on repairs.

hey thanks so much for the website etc. now to find a rv repair service in bozeman that could order install the unit on our ollie #822.

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

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
