I take my TPMS devices off in the winter. When I install them in the spring there is a minute small air lose when they are seating on the valve stem. Are you sure you have a leak. Did you unscrew them to see if the air loose continues?

Congratulations on your new play toy. Welcome to the family. Did you get your RVLock issue resolved?

Patriot: You firearms cable lock is a great way to secure the tanks. Is security of the propane tanks really necessary? Has anyone had their tank(s) stolen? If so, I will be looking to secure my tanks as well. Thanks

Are there 40 gallon tanks available? Will they fit in an Elite II?

The previous owner of my Ollie showed me the following storage procedure after he had a problem with the Ollie lights being on: Costs nothing. If you look at where the Oliver fiberglass hull is near the trailer's tongue, you will see there is a gap between the fiberglass and the trailer frame. This gap is big enough for the trailer plugs to fit up into and out of the weather. I have never had a problem with moisture or rain water storing it this way.

Rivernerd: Thanks for all you comments about your concern about the Terms and Conditions. Glad we got a lawyer on board. Yesterday, Oliver TT revised their Terms and Conditions. I received a email with a link to those T&C. Have you had a chance to review the new language and what do you think of it now? Thanks dewdev

I do not use a buffer, nor do I recommend it (in my opinion). I do not want to wear down the thickness of my gel coat. I think that professional detailers are more experienced in the safe use of a buffer. I have owned 4 older fiberglass boats in the past and never used a buffer. (There have been other forum posts about the use of buffers and I think that a majority of the comments were from people that do not use a buffer.) On my past older boats, which had oxidation, I would use a fiberglass paste rubbing compound applied by hand with a lot of elbow grease and remove the compound by hand with a clean cloth. After removing the compound and clean the fiberglass, I would hand apply two coats of liquid wax, hand applied and hand removed. That process worked well. On my 2018 Ollie (which is left outside 24-7-365), I have never seen any fiberglass oxidation. I keep the Ollie outside during the winter. In the spring I wash the Ollie very well (sometime twice) and remove any remaining black water stains with the Meguiars 67 One step (liquid) compound applying it by hand and let it film over and then wipe it off with a clean micro-cloth. [The liquid compound is a lot less aggressive on the fiberglass that paste compound.] I then apply the Meguiars Professional Marine Wax by hand, let it dry, remove it using a micro-cloth and then apply a second coat of wax. During the summer I wash the Ollie as needed and if not shinny (but it usually is), I will apply one coat of wax. When putting the Ollie away for winter, I use my spring procedure. Over the years owning boats, I have used a number of different brands of compounds and waxes. Myself, I find that the Meguiars products are easy to install, easy to wipe off and holds up very well. Everyone will have their favorite products but after over 30 years of fiberglass maintenance, I like Meguiars the best (so far).

I only know of one Ollie that was rent out. There was a California lady who had a 2018 Elite II. Starting in 2019 she started renting it out. She ended up selling it in late 2020 because she could not rent it out much due to COVID. She sold her Ollie on the forum. With the new Oliver sale section on the forum you can not go back into past sales (which is unfortunate).

Dave: I was looking on line at your brand of batteries. There are a lot of models. Which one did you buy?

Bill: Glad you have solved your problem. Could you provide a little more information to supplement your pictures like: 1. I assume the junction box was existing. Where is that located in the Ollie? 2. What is this DPDT device you are referring to? Is this DPDT device the switch you talk about? 3. Where did you locate the DPDT device in the Ollie? 4. It looks like you extended all the wires from the junction box to the DPDT switch. Which wires were extended to the new thermostat? 5. Looks like you installed the new thermostat in the back corner of the Ollie near the attic. How did you route the wires from the DPDT switch to the thermostat? Thanks for a great job you did in researching and solving your problem. Happy skiing

Rivernerd: Jason is correct that you can see all your old tickets. Go to the "Open Tickets" section. Then click on "Tickets" then Click on the drop down arrow for "Open" (even though it shows O tickets). After clicking on the drop down arrow, you can click on "All Status" and when that opens you will find your old tickets. Good luck

Obvious question. Are you sure the thermostat is set to heat and the temperature set to a higher temperature than outside? You might want to consider buying a small electric heater to get by until the furnace is working.

I use the TireTracker TPMS system. Using the instruction manual, I found it very easy to program. My TV already had its own TPMS system so I added only the Ollie to the TireTracker system. For those without a TPMS on their TV, the TireTracker system has enough capability to add both the TV and the Ollie.

ScubaRX And were do they get stored when your get mud in the threads?

I think you should flip the receiver and try that, It is not that hard to do. I had to do that myself and the Oliver now rides horizontal.

Tom and Doreen When I picked up my KTT mattresses (in plastic wrapping) even though they are longer than my truck bed I could fit them in diagonally and was able to put a slight fold into them to fit in the back of my pickup and just shut the cover of the truck bed.

Bill and Nancy: Getting new wiring installed is the trickie part, if you do not have a camera to start with, Buying a new camera of course is cheaper as there is no labor involved. If OTT installed it, you have their warranty on the unit (as well as the manufacturer) and if there is a leak they would fix it (or have it fixed at their expense).

I had a similar problem with my awning on my 2018 Elite II (different brand). I called the awning manufacture and they walked me through correcting the situation. Just saying.

Rivernerd: Thanks for the pictures of the heat and supply vents. It looks like there are two supply vents and one large return air vent are similar to what is on my 2018 Elite II in the main cabin on the kitchen side of the trailer. Any other vents in the main cabin? Not sure if any of the pictures are in the bathroom. What was done in the bathroom for supply and return vents?

I use RV Parky and the Garmin RV 890 to find campgrounds. Seems to work for me. I also like that in the RV Parky site you can plan your trip, and it will show you miles and anticipated time between stops (CG).

Welcome

Rivernerd: Cograd on your new Ollie. Could you summarize the location of the hot air vents and the location of any return air vents in your new trailer. I would like to know that to consider making improvement in air flow in my Ollie.

The previous owner of my Elite II (#354) has some type of problem with the heating system and Oliver suggested removing the dampers from each vent, as mentioned by Chukarhunter above. I have not had any problem with the furnace or short cycling of the furnace over the past 2 years I have owned my Ollie.

Mike and Carol: Bill and Nancy have a 2022 Elite II, hull #1265. I clicked on their Icon and that information is on their profile.
