Another Oliver Owner had issues in a campground. He smelled burning under the Dinette. He didn't feel comfortable with electrical, so he hired a knowledgeable Mobile RV guy. This person went through everything and checked the transfer switch which was good. He found melted wires in the EMS. The mobile guy told him there was a good chance this wouldn't have happened if he had a good EMS surge protector at the post. The built in EMS saved his electronics. Contact a Mobile guy that knows electronics if you aren't comfortable. Again reach out to Steve Landrum.

The person that can provide the best electronic advise on the Forum is Steve Landrum. I would send him a message. He maybe camping somewhere. The transfer switch has been an issue until the supplier upgraded the switch. I also would suggest unhooking from shore power and checking the transfer switch wire connectors, and the EMS surge protector under the Dinette seat.

It is a good idea to use a high quality EMS Surge protector at the power pole. Surge Guard, Hughes Watchdog 30amp with EPO, or the Progressive are around $350+/- and they will stop low or high surges, and other issues that can damage our Oliver's, including lightening strikes and ground issues. See the link in my earlier response.

Using a high quality EMS surge protector at the power post is highly recommended. An EMS surge protector such as a Hughes Watchdog 30amp with EPO will stop an issue at the post, shutting down power before damage is done at the trailer. Please make sure you have all of the facts before making comments that are wrong. Mike Sokol is a highly recommended electrical engineer, that is considered the leader in RV electronics. https://rvelectricity.com/2018/09/23/rvelectricity-can-i-add-a-second-surge-protector/

I actually went back to the original link for the US Map and scrolled down to find the Canadian Map. I entered the Provinces and then copied it and pasted it into my signature. Thanks for the help.

Our fresh tank maxes out at 88%. I always overflow the tank and still 88%. Gray tank monitor was replaced under warranty. I just add 12% when looking at the fresh tank monitor.

Awesome. Thanks Steve

Where can you find the Canadian map?

Happy with our 2013 F250, 6.2 gasser. If I needed a new truck, I would go either with the 250 or 350 gasser, with the shorter bed. Currently we have Crew Cab with 8' bed and it used to carry an 8' camper.

Thanks, I will be be adding New Mexico when we get back from that trip end of Oct.👍

To add a state or states do I have to start completely over? I would hate to wipe everything out. Second question, how do I add Canada?

I did post this on RV Electric, Mike Sokol's Facebook site. One answer was "It appears to be the transfer switch, if there is one." UPDATE, saw you don't have the front plug or transfer switch, so that is out of the equation. The general tone was the original poster should join their Facebook group so that dialog is back and forth, as they felt there was conflicting comments from the OP. Keep us all posted.

Bummer, but glad you have the Oliver for a base.
