  1. Honestly, I don't even know if I got the brand right (I hope I didn't "bad mouth" the wrong product). I purchased mine when picking up my Ollie in Feb of 2022 - straight from the mothership. It seems as though when installed, my tanks put too much weight on them (apparently sticking out a tiny bit further than the tanks' rims).
  2. I've had nothing but problems with the Mopeka. They are super sensitive to placement and I can get it right outside the doghouse only to discover it not working properly when the tanks are installed and secured. I tried many times and finally gave up. I simply use the "use one tank till empty and switch over" technique. It's a little uncomfortable when you run out after going to bed.
  3. I once heard that partially filling the tank and then dumping a fair amount of ice into it before taking the trailer for a ride helps. Apparently the ice "scrubs" the tank, melts, and can easily be drained upon destination.
  4. When I purchased my Ollie I immediately bought and installed a tracking device, along with deterrence locks. (I did this because I had a utility trailer stolen from me. Now, everything's got a hidden tracking device.)
  5. Thank you for this useful info, Patriot. I think I'll be seeking out a different provider for this coverage.
  6. 130 lbs of love and protection, Daishiro Gumi Kuma ("Dash").
  7. My wife and I started with our heads to the galley. This makes the transition from watching TV to sleeping very easy. However, we switched to heads to rear as it's easier to swing our legs out without interference from the nightstand. Those mid-night restroom breaks helped us realize this. Fyi: We have suction handles (from Walmart or Amazon) that we install above us to grab and more easily assist out of bed. (Have one in the shower too.)
  8. Hello Friend, I don't know if it's necessary, but I use a pretty good external protector. I don't recall the name of it right now but I haven't had any problems with it. I'd rather blow out an external device than one in the trailer. PS: It has warned me of trouble before, so I just disconnected from power and relied on my batteries and solar.
  9. SUCCESS!!! I purchased the NOCO 10 charger. Three of my 6v AGM batteries read between 1.8 and 2.3 volts. The 4th read .5 volts and the charger wouldn't recognize it. I connected two sets in series and used the 12V option to charge them...and the .5 volt battery was revived. I discovered that AGMs don't have a "recovery" option (or necessity) so the plain 12V option on the charger was appropriate. I reinstalled the batteries and everything appears to be working well. Thank you all for your input and helping me dodge a $800 to $1000 expense.
  10. So, my charger arrived. Now I have another question: Do I need to charge them individually (there are 4), or can I charge them in parallel? I suspect I should not charge them in serial, right?
  11. This might be a good idea for future Ollies. They could all swing upwards with the hydralic lifts.
  12. Well, thank you all for your input. Unfortunarely, most of it leans towards a very expensive lesson! I will try to redeem first. Wish me luck. PS: it's a 2022 model.
  13. I did a STUPID! I pulled the break-away plug on the brakes and let it set a few days. I came back to a FULLY discharged set of batteries. Anyone got a non-technical explanation of how to recharge these, or do I need to take it to a battery shop?
