1. On the bottom surface of the hatch cover over where the pump is, there should be a picture showing the valve configuations for the different uses. The pictures should also be in your Owner's manual
2. Highly unlikely. If I was you, I would check to see if all the plumbing connections are tight with no leaks and none are sucking in air.
3. Should not be a problem. All Oliver's are like that.

@John Dorrer Thanks for point that out.
I checked and have had the same $3.50 charge each month starting in February.
I am going to use up my balance ASAP before another charge on May 1.
My understanding is the charge is not by OTT but the credit card company.

I use a 2000 watt generator (with the ground plug) and it powers up the Ollie and the AC.
I do have to shut off the breaker to the inverter/charger for it to power up the AC compressor.

If you all had a compost toilet, you would not need the water pump on at all for flushing.
Just making a little light of the subject. Ha Ha

Take a look at THIS thread. A list of all the annual services can be found here along with the approximate price. The specific post is about 6 down from the top.
Bill
But will the new independent service locations offer the same annual maiintenance program that OTT offered?
Or put another way, will the independents even be told and trained of what OTT offered for the annual maintenance?

@ScubaRx and @SeaDawg. Since you are moderators, you may know more about the end of service at the factory then us other owners.
Has OTT explained to you how OTT be training the local dealer's service personne and when?
Will OTT explain the services that they offered at the factory during their annual maintenance services?

FYI, I see there is a dealer in Utah. Not sure if that is closer to you than Oregon.
A list fo dealers is on the Oliver web site.

Congradulations
Take you time at the factory and during your travels
Stay at the Oliver Campground and checkout all equipment on the Ollie until you have run out of questions.
Safe travels

@rideadeuce FYI, Your link is only for the 1/4" tubing
I found the Dometic water faucet on Amazon but not the 3 gallon container you show. Can you provide a link for the container?
Did the containers already have a connection for the 1/4" tubing?
Thanks

Did Mike at ALCAN give you more information on why he thught the 4 spring set was "inadequate for our trailers" ?

Lagun Table Project Update: Moved the table mount from night stand to street side bed rail using @Overland's detailed instructions:
Been wanting to finish this up since building the Lagun Table top last spring!!!
Used a bandsaw to rough cut the four 45-degree ends - then finished them with an end cut bit on the mill:
Assembled finished parts and checked fitment on PORT side bed rail:
Used three 1/8" aluminum backing plates behind each of the mounting points:
View from underneath:
Completed new mounting area:
Now we've got nightstand drawer access with table in place - whereas before, the mount was just below the drawer making it impossible to gain access to the drawer with the table mounted there:
One and done - D approves and is happy, mission success!
Many thanks to @Overland for developing the initial design for this great mod!
Cheers, All!
Nice job.
Looks like how I relocated/nstalled mine, thnaks to @Overland and @Mattnan and their instructions and parts list . I did not see the holes where the mount was installed before you movd it. You must have filled the holes.
Now you can install a hatch into the cellar.
I store my table top in the closet on the inside wall next to the head, when not in use. I use velcro to secure it to the wall.

Good luck. @jd1923
Likely, your solar won't keep up with battery capacity, unless you severely curtail power consumption.
As in, no microwave, no inverter, etc. even in Arizona sun.
We'll look forward to your reports. Weekend camping, no issue.
SeaDawg:
How do you get the forum members name (with blue shading) into a follow-up post, like you have in your post here?
Thanks

Very Impressive RAM.
I did not see any solar panels on the RAM. Where are they located on the truck?

Some of the 2018 OE2's PD Converters have a LI switch that allows use with Litho's. Below is a picture of the LI/LA switch and a hard copy of John Davies procedure to upgrade the PD if you don't have the switch as well.

Thanks for Posting John Davies procedure.

Sorry to bring this subject up again on the forum, but I want to find out what people are using to check the level in their LP tanks and if they use a measuring device.
I myself initially decided to not get anything to measure the LP level in my tanks as I can just fill up the empty tank when I switch the valve over to the 2nd tank. But I keep coming back to this subject. (MaybeI I am a little bored over the winter.)
There are tank gauges that you install in-line.
There are also the devices you install on the bottom of the LP tank like from Mopeka.
There are also hand held measuring devices that you scribe along the side of the tank to determine where the liquid level is inside the tank, such as:
1. Dometic makes a measuring device, model GC-100, $68.99
2. Truma also makes a similiar measuring device - $74.79
So my question is regarding only the two numbered devices above. For those that have used either of the devices, did they work ok and were you happy with the devices and would you recommend for purchase?
Thanks

I would suggest that only 150 lbs (including the box) be added.
Same weight that OTT recommends for bikes and bike racks on the back.

I also have a 2018 Elite II.
My procedure may not help you. But, after the Ollie wakes up from it winter's nap, I have trouble getting the Dometic refigerator started. I usually have to play with the on-off switch button, depressing the button multiple times and sometimes just holding the button in. So far, after a little time doing this the refrigerator finally starts and the lights on the control board come on.
On another subject, in the future, you might want to add your year and hull # to the signature line, so people can see what Ollie you have and can help you better.

Sorry that I may have added to the confusion. Apparently, the 2000 watt inverter installed in the 2018 Oliver was an inverter only without a battery charger built in. The 2000 watt inverter installed in my 2020 LE II is an inverter/charger. That is why I have a more sophisticated wall panel with led readout. In your 2018 Oliver, the batteries are charged by the Progressive Dynamics Converter/Charger under the dinette that also serves as the 12volt and 120 volt service panel (breakers and fuses). The PD Converter/Charger in your trailer has a fixed maximum charging rate of either 45 amps or 60 amps depending upon what model Oliver installed. The PD Converter/charger is perfectly adequate if you have lead/acid batteries or AGMs and charging at the maximum charging rate of 60 amps should not overtax a 1000 watt generator. If you ever upgraded to lithium ion batteries though, you would need to replace the PD converter/charger with a charger that offers a lithium ion charging profile built in. Progressive Dynamics makes one that is a drop in replacement for the one you have. Alternatively, you can install an updated combined converter/charger to charge your batteries and then bypass the charger in the PD Converter. That is what the factory did in my 2020 LE II.
I do have a background in grid scale power and high voltage transmission, but the information above I learned the hard way when I switched out my lead acid batteries for LFP04 lithiums right after I picked up my 2020 LE II. Oliver started offering the lithium option in mid-model year about a month after I took delivery of mine so I had to figure it out myself. Information on this forum helped me out considerably.
What is the model of the PD Charger/Converter with the lithium ion charging profile with the remote display panel like you have (the drop in model you refer to)? I am guessing that you would need to buy both seperately. (I looked on the PD web site and there are a lot of different models available)

I have the Xantrex PROwatt 2000 inverter in my 2020 LE II. It has Charge Current setting just like the 3000 watt version. The max charge current in the 2000 watt inverter is 80 amps (as opposed to 150 amps in the 3,000 watt inverter.) To set the charge current limit to less than the factory default of 80 amps, you just need to go into the inverter panel on the wall of the Oliver, enter into configuration mode, scroll to setting # 24 Charge Current, and change the setting. It only takes a minute or two. It is certainly not as easy as using a bluetooth app and I often have to refer to the manual again because the exact sequence of button pushing is easy to forget. But it works just the same as in the 2000 watt inverter.
Chukarhunter:
Excellant explaination that hopefully everyone on this thread reads. Obviously you must have an electrical background and/or good working electrical knowledge.
As far as the PROwatt SW2000 inverter wall panel in my 2018 Elite II, I have no inverter wall panel as you have described. The only PROwatt SW2000 inverter panel on the wall in my Ollie is the picture I have posted below.
Could you post a picture of your PROwatt SW2000 wall panel in your 2020 Olilie, which may help others with that vintage inverter and how you described changing settings.

I do not believe that for our 2018 Elite II (with my Hull 354) and Xantrex PROwatt SW2000 inverter and Wandering Sagebrush's (Hull 364) with the original Xantrex PROwatt SW2000 inverter (which he does not have now) has anyway to change the amp output. There is no Wifi type connection to that 2018 inverter to make that modification. This inverter was before Lithium batteries.
If I am wrong, someone please correct me.

SeaDawg uses a 1000 watt generator to charge their batteries. a neutral ground plug is REQUIRED.
I use a 2000 watt generator (with the neutral ground plug) and I can run my AC. My AC has the reduced voltage starter installed. When using my generator, I need to shut off the circuit breaker to the inverter because it takes to much power when trying to run the AC.
My hull # is 10 earlier than your hull #.

I would suggest that you first go to the Oliver web site and open up a service ticket and ask the question. You can also add your photo to help with the question.
Southland may be too new to help you on this issue.
