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.

Photos Interior of Oliver Elite II with People
dewdev replied to MickeyMouseCamper's topic in General Discussion
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).

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.

Jimmy63 Two suggestions: 1.When you remove the batteries if you have solar panels make sure you seal the solar wire ends with something like putting them in a zip lock bag as the solar panels will still send current down to the wires even with the batteries removed. 2. When you put the batteries in your garage put them on some wood so they are not on the concrete floor as the concrete will drain the power out of them. Good luck

Dave: You could use the search bar in the upper right corner. The subject has been discussed a few times in the past, but I am sure others will chime in and repeat their method of installing and taking off. Make sure you cover the sharp edges, like the solar collectors so they do not tear the cover.

Free Lagun Table Side Mount 15 Series Extrusions
dewdev replied to dewdev's topic in Ollie Modifications
The parts have been sent to the new owner. -
Based on what I have seen on this forum, you may have had some type of a bug that left a web in the area where the flame starts heating the furnace. I had the same problem you had a year ago and installed a screen over the furnace outlet, which I saw was recommended on this forum. I have not had a problem since.

I bought a box of five 30 amp slow fuses at NAPA auto parts for around $7. They did not have them the first time I inquired but two weeks later they had that one pack, which I think they ordered after I talked to them the first time.

I bought my KTT mattresses in the spring of 2021. Dick and his wife were great. My used Ollie had one KTT mattress and one cushion seat. The one KTT mattress had mold on the under side so I threw it away and now have 2 twin mattresses and bought and installed the Hypervent myself. I like a little stiffer mattress then the one I replaced in the Ollie so Dick had mine made in either 38 ILD or 42 ILD (do not remember which). I picked the mattresses up myself and visited my sister-in-law that lives about 1/2 hour away from KTT and saved on the shipping cost, The KTT mattress are very comfortable and I am glad I got them.

S C Lisa: I removed my front Oliver graphic to replace it with a lighthouse picture made by my local sign shop (I provided them with a jpg image). I used a couple of plastic razor blades. I also used a small hair dryer on the parts that came off hard. Just take your time and do not heat up the graphic/fiberglass too much.

I remember seeing a post a month or 2 ago of someone that modified the compartment floor where the sewer hose is located so a hose can come out of the bottom of the compartment so the hatch can stay closed. You might want to check it out, maybe under the "Ollie Modifications" page.

WA Oliver owners, where do you do the service?
dewdev replied to June_Liu's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
If you google a service place, you will probably see reviews for that location that you can read. -
Bill: Yes the NH toilet cost more but the Oliver is expensive too. So what. I agree the NH toilet is a little taller than the standard. Not a concern for me. For my wife, I bought a fold-up "Squatty Potty" toilet stool that takes that concern away. You only wait and deal with the composted waste. No big deal. After the waste has composed you put a plastic bag over the toilet and tip the toilet over to empty the compost into the bag. Better than dealing with raw sewerage and wasting good water. To each their own, though.

I agree with the other posts here to see what other people have said about this subject.. It has been discussed many times in the past. Read them so you can make your up your own mind. We have the compost toilet (do not do much boondocking) and am glad we have it instead of the regular toilet. It is not that hard or difficult to empty and it is a lot better than dumping the black (poop) tank. It is a great ecological way to go.
