  1. When we bought our Oliver they offered couch cushions which we opted not to get. I just spoke to Anita and they no longer sell them. I often find myself camping alone and really wish I had a comfortable way to sit on the unused bed with good back support etc. What solutions has anyone found for this? Does someone with the couch give me the cushion measurements if I decide to make my own?
  2. I have to admit I had another problem with the pump this morning. Closed the valve to the freshwater tank, opened the bypass valve to the hot water heater and filled the fresh water tank. After the tank was full, I turned on the pump and waited for it to turn off. And waited. And waited. Still running. Tried the faucet - no water. Checked the connection I tightened yesterday - still tight. Decided to walk around the trailer. Opened the door and heard water running. I forgot to put the anode in the water heater. Sigh.
  3. I just had a similar problem in that the pump was running, never shut off and no water. Connected the city water and no leaks. I found that the connection to the filter before the pump was loose and the pump was therefore sucking in air rather than water. Tightened it and the pump is now working fine.
  4. I am very happy with mine and the location above the main panel has worked great. The best part is I can get a good idea from inside the truck for the side to side level. As Allen said, it makes it easy to find the most level spot and then fine tune it. I also like that it tells me how high in inches it needs to get to level; I find that very useful.
  5. I mounted mine right above the switches just inside the door. It makes it easy to reach up and turn it on and it is out of the way otherwise. I used double-sided tape to attach it.
  6. When we bought our Oliver, my wife and I had many discussions about how and where to store it at home. We finally decided to have a carport installed in front of my shop. This morning I was walking down to my shop and did a double take when I saw that an oak tree had fallen onto the carport. When I got down there, I saw that although about 10 feet of the carport was crushed it did not crush down to the Oliver. The carport did its job and as soon as I get it repaired, the Oliver will be going back under it.
  7. I bought two of the dimmers you linked to and swapped them for the Porch Light and the Outside Courtesy Light switches. The dimmer switch requires a ground wire. When I pulled the panel out I found that each switch had its own ground wire. For the time being I am using a couple of brass washers on the front panel for the switch nut to tighten against. The dimmers do a great job dimming the outside lights.
  8. We have the 12.5 by 12.5 pavilion clam and love it. It has been through several down pours and not allowed any rain inside. As noted my biggest complaint is it can get warm, but that has not been too big of an issue even in 90+ degree heat.
