We are also Michiganders (trolls 😁). We opted not to get the second awning and do not regret the decision at all. We have spent a lot of time in sounthwest US and find the trailer stays cool up even in 80+ temps. In fact we don't use the primary awning that much when wind is high due to damage concerns. I know some owners have developed anchoring options to help with this.

Snackchaser was spot on. I got up this morning and found the emergency breakaway switch had gotten pulled out during setup. I put it back in and voila, back to 0 draw. Thanks you all so much for the responses. I was really stressing out about this issue.

JD we have Truma on demand hot water. Turned off. No change. Inverter I only turned off for a short time. Can try shutting off for longer period tomorrow. No custom fridge cooling fans. I do think Norcold fan has gotten louder. I turned off fridge and still see draw. No special DC accessories. i will try jack fuses in AM.

We have Elite II Pro package with 3 Lithionics batteries. Currently boondocking near Capital Reef Utah. I checked batteries mid-morning with good sun and saw 2-3 amp draw on each battery. I came back after a good day of sun to same draw and batteries down 15% in a day with no usage. Inverter off. Norcold refrigerator on propane. Here’s what I’ve done Restarted inverter Reset inverter breaker (red switch streetside bed) Power cycled batteries Reset all AC breakers while watching amp load - nothing changed pulled each DC fuse one at a time - no change checked all wire connections in dinette by pantry. No loose wires Batteries are taking charge from generator but show same loss as soon as generator turned off. Any ideas where to check next? Thanks in advance Oliver crew!

We do have 15-30 amp dog one. I will ask them in morning and if it’s an issue we can unpack pretty quickly

We are in Grand Junction at James Rob State Park. Appointment with Alcan in AM. This is the start of a 6 week trip and we have a refrigerator and freezer full of food. Wonder if it’s reasonable to ask to plug in during service. We have large cooler and can unpack.

What a lovely and creative way to document your travels. Thanks for sharing. I am grinning ear to ear after watching and can't wait to hit the road again.

I have had same experience as Roger. The balancing process in battery charging works better after drawing them down to below 50%. I still see differences in SOC but less after draw down.

We plan to do this upgrade with Alcan in early 2026 when we head southwest from Michigan. I know a small percentage of those upgrading have gone with the 4 leaf option. I am on the fence and appreciate hearing real-world experience with the 5 leaf option.

#1047 Saunter - to amble or stroll. Like so many Oliver owners we like to discover whatever is in front of us, wherever that may be. We have found that happens best at a patient pace.

We carry 5-gallon refillable plastic water bottles with a pump. We have found the refilling stations are easy to find and reasonably priced. We had an incident at a state park where drinking water was treated with potassium permanganate. Rangers had added wrong amount, and we had some gastrointestinal distress after drinking.🤮

For those of those of us choosing to monitor the springs until they can be upgraded, inspection guidance from Oliver would be very helpful, particularly the sag seen prior to failure.

We drove portions of the 101 in Oregon in April. Stunning area. We camped at Beverly Beach State Park. A nice campground with lots of shade. This campground has direct access to the beach and dogs are allowed to play off leash. Depoe Bay has a whale watching center. Fresh seafood in Newport and Yaquina Lighthouse is cool to see. There were some stretches that had erosion issues on the 101. We found they were well marked but you'll want to slow down considerably for these. Enjoy. Beautiful country.

I changed tow vehicles in March and had Anderson installed at factory during annual maintenance. We are on the tail end of 7000 plus miles. After installation my thread count was the same on both sides. I noticed recently one chain had some sag to it. I looked at frame mounts and measured from rear cross joins and the brackets differ by about an inch. Maybe shifted during towing? I will adjust. What torque should the bracket bolts be? In the meantime, as long as tension in both chains is similar and taut, hitch will still perform desired function?

I have not experience this but others have noted the jack stabilizer mounts may come lose possibly causing an upward shift of the jack and the unwanted contact?
