Hull 806.....from near Winston Salem! We camped in Wyoming with lows around 15 degrees for a week, not winterized, with no problem. Altitude was about 7,000 feet. I have three SensorPush HT1 Wireless Thermometers to monitor the temps. Sensor # 1 was located in the cabin attached to the rear most driver side reading light. Sensor # 2 was located between hulls under the passenger side bed near the tail lights & water lines. Sensor # 3 was located between hulls under the driver side bed next to the shower outlet. On the outside of Ollie I removed the shower head and pulled the water line inside the hull. I set the furnace to mid/upper 50's and monitored all three temps....adjusting as desired. The driver side had the largest variance to the cabin temperature.....about 15 degrees. I have two 30 lb propane tanks. We were boondocking. After 5 or 6 days with ice/snow cloud cover....the batteries got down to about 50% SOC. At that point, I used the generator to recharge....not risking the furnace fan operation. We consumed one tank of propane and promptly got it refilled. (This was a portion of a five week western trip..we had been running the refrig on propane so we did not consume the whole tank in this one week). I also carried anti-freeze and pump ..... just in case. We operated the water system/hot water heater as normal. (((BTW...I have move one of the sensors to inside of the refrigerator. We adjust the temp setting according to the readings. Early on in our experience we were having veggies and eggs freeze because we did not monitor and adjust....now, not an issue.))) Steve

Recent LE2 .....Yes...and a cover panel on the wall. Fuses under the dinette. Are you trying to run it on DC or AC? Verify your mode setting, battery SOC etc

Hull 806....our Norcold recently worked fine on LP at ~ 7,000 feet.

Hello Brian, My antenna is on the front. We sometimes use the antenna to get local over the air channels...it works fine. However, an alternative we use more frequently is a Roku stick...using an I-phone as a hotspot. My phone service is through Visible so there is no data limit ($35/m)...works good when there is a connection. Of course, with Roku or other similar devices you can pull in whatever services you subscribe to and all the free streaming channels. The variety is much better than the over the air stations. (For example...YoutubeTV has ESPN and other sports channels). There may have been locations where I could not get cell service but could get over the air channels but i can't recall. Traveling through remote areas in New England, Arizona, Utah, Wyoming, Montana, etc....there were plenty of places where neither were available....but not a big deal. If I had to do it over again I would delete the antenna and probably also the cell phone booster. The cell phone booster is mounted over the dinette and can boost a very very weak signal up to a very weak signal 🙄 ...... if you mount/hold the phone within a foot or so. A more portable booster would make more sense. Steve Hull 806

Hello Hull 812, I have Hull 806 and had the same issue with the tv antenna pulling in zero channels. I found a work around until I took 806 back to Oliver for annual maintenance. Oliver confirmed what I found....the cables behind the switch in the "attic" were reversed. They corrected the connections on the back of that switch and I now am able to pull in over the air channels with no issues. (the work around I used before Oliver corrected it was to run a coax from the front of the"attic" switch to the back of the tv....you just have to experiment with the push button switch to determine which coax position to use) Let me know if you want more info.

2021 LE2....I've had some difficulty removing hose caps left on at some dump stations.....painful thumb joints contribute ! I bought a set of spanner type wrenches and have successfully used them on one or two occasions when needing to break an overly tight connection. They work fine.

2021 LE2 , Hull 806 On mine, the top of the ground stud is also covered with the black soft sealant. I take this to indicate to not add any other grounds to this primary ground point. None of the other ground points have it.

2021 LE2 Solar, 3 Lithonics, front and rear AC input plug ins I had an issue with the Xantrex settings. The "Low Battery Cut Off" setting was too high and would not allow my Lithonics to discharge below 75% SOC. So the 12 volt system was erratic. I lowered this setting (probably too low....12.5 or so) and the issue was gone at a snap of the finger. The attached file has all my Xantrex settings. This display is from the xantrex app for iphones. Below is the inverter settings (also contained in the file). You can compare all your settings and also observe the xantrex actuals when under load. 1025833337_InverterSettings.pdf

2021 LE2....My tv would never find any over the air channels. I had Oliver look at this during my annual maintenance appointment. They found that the factory wiring behind the input selector outlet was reversed. They corrected it and it works as expected now. (We also have a Roku that we stream youtubetv and other stuff through a Visible hotspot on an Iphone....no data limit.)

Annual Maintenance Cost: Below is the quote I received last December.... 2021 LE2. The maintenance was scheduled and completed in April. I provided them with Timken bearings instead of re-greasing the China bearings. They also completed a number of minor repairs under warranty. You should discuss any work additional to the maintenance package ahead of time so they allocate their schedule accurately. They will not let extra undiscussed work impact another owners schedule. It was a two day appointment. We camped at Oliver the first night and stayed at a local hotel the second night. This was the beginning of a 6 week trip out west. My out the door cost was $1,244.24 No problems were detected that needed extra work/cost. YMMV

2021 LE 2 ....tried using one of my 6.5" high Harbor Freight ramps. It will indeed lift either tire off the ground. Similar to using a leveler...it's as easy as it looks.

Great western Bison ranch....sometimes referred to as Yellowstone. Guess they wanted a close up look at the Ollie! May 2022.

We just completed a five week trip from NC to Grand Canyon, Grand Teton and Yellowstone....mostly boondocking. Running the fan or furnace at night we would use about 10% SOC which would easily recharge with clear weather. When we got to Yellowstone, I had to use the generator on the forth or fifth day because it was overcast & snowing every day (lost a little SOC every day until SOC got to 50%...and with 19 degree temps we did not want to chance the furnace fan operation). Another setting to consider is the inverter battery low voltage cut off. From the factory, mine would not let me deplete batteries below 70%....then I learned how to change that setting. You can use the battery app and inverter app to help gain an understanding of amps used by each appliance. We try not to use more than one "amp hungry" electric appliance at a time (Kerig, fry pan, microwave, hair dryer...etc). And I monitor where we're at on our daily "amp budget" and make consumption decisions accordingly. It gets easier with experience and practice.

Open the Lithionics App....here is the initial screen showing three batteries in my case. If you don't have all batteries showing....make sure they are on and then tap the discover button shown below. Tap on each battery to see the specifics as you show in your attachment. By the way your screen shot is showing 95 amp load....which seems alot if you have more that one battery. Boondocking....my AC will pull 28 amps each battery.

Hull 806....My batteries have wires coming off both the front and back battery negative terminals. Check that back negative terminal shown below. I have not traced that wire to see where it goes but you may be getting return current through it. On the other hand...try using the on/off buttons. Someone posted the Lithionics storage procedure above.

Good guesses.....but actually that is the signal booster for my TPMS. I did not want to mount it inside the cabin so this temporary connection (9 months now) in the battery compartment has worked out great so far. It's out of the way and protected from the elements. I just need to replace the alligator clips at some point.

Hull 806 Lithionic batteries....."push button" on/off switches on each battery.

One of my touch lights behaved similar. I ended up discovering the cover had vibrated out of place enough to effect the touch function. Once I rotated the cover to the right position the issue disappeared.

I've had the Tire Minder since last May. It worked ok without the repeater, but would occasionally send a NS. I installed the repeater inside the battery bay....no issues since.

I keep a "collar lock" around the bulldog whether hitched or unhitched. My F150 tailgate opens almost flat but does rest in contact with the hitch & lock. I place a thick throw rug in between and have suffered no damage so far. I do most of the truck bed loading and unloading unhitched, but I have put my full weight on the tailgate without issue. I would not jump up and down though!!!

BTW I also tow with a 2018 V8 F150 SCREW 4WD with a "tow package". I added the stock Ford trailer brake controller (max tow package !). You'll need this or an aftermarket TBC if your tow package doesn't include it. I have no problem with payload (1960 lbs), power, etc. I get 22+ mpg as my daily driver without trailer. With the trailer I get ~ 13/14 mpg in rolling piedmont foothills type topography. It drops to ~ 10/11 mpg in mountains of Vermont/New Hampshire, etc. So your gas tank capacity may be a consideration. I have passengers that have less capacity than my gas tank!

It's a wet night here in NC. Here are bracket pics...the measurement is from the top edge to the bottom.

2021 LE2 Hull 806 A = 5" B = 22 1/4" with the trailer leveled

I had a similar issue. My problem was the fittings on the hose I was using was not air tight and causing a pump priming issue...intermittent or none at all. I resolved it by using a new hose with a "factory crimp" and some telfon tape. Once I did this the anti-freeze flowed to all faucets within a few seconds. There was no question when the water changed from clear to pink.

I have a 2018 F150 with the LE2 and Andersen. I don't disable the F150 anti-sway. I used to engage the transmission tow mode. I don't even do this anymore. Most of the time it is so smooth I have to remind myself the Ollie is still back there. The only issue I have is front end porpoise on an interstate highway with rough expansion joints. I've cranked down the Andersen chains with some positive results. (I believe the Ford requirement is more WD than sway control. There should be a label on the underside of your F150 hitch)
