As I stated, I don't believe this has anything to do with the actual Xantrex Freedom 3000. The inverter breaker has been a PIA and that is why Oliver switched to a large fuse. I have chosen to live with the breaker for now. I carry 2 spares. After running our Lithonics batteries down to 50% and shutting everything down for the winter, I put a wrench to the nuts and found everything tight. If I was to make an upgrade, I would make some of the changes David Austin made. He did a complete system upgrade from AGM/wet batteries to Epoch Lithium Batteries. He has a very detailed post on this.

Here is what you should look for under the street side bed, near the front and next to the actual inverter. 1. Make sure it hasn't tripped 2. Make sure the wires are bolted tight.

This sounds like the inverter breaker has gone bad, or tripped. This happened to us twice on our 2022. The last time we tried to heat a bowl of oatmeal while boondocking, inverter on, and after 30 seconds things shut down. Oliver changed systems in around 2024 and went to a large fuse. They didn't have any at our service visit. I bought one, and when I went to install I found the cable at the breaker, loose, the cable ends were pitted. This was totally on me as I didn't check the bolts like I should have. Here is the safe sequence, turn off solar, turn off the inverter breaker located under the street side bed at the front next to the inverter. Turn off each battery. Restore in reverse. Make sure you aren't plugged into shore power. It is also possible the breaker tripped. That happened on day 2 of owner ship and Oliver walked me through resetting it. When it happened 3 months later Oliver sent me one under warranty. I just turned everything off and checked the bolts. Be careful. That is a high voltage area.

We buy our RV antifreeze at ACE Hardware. This is the safest product. They don't list the type. The white cap is the correct one, and safe for lines, connections and gaskets. Sorry, I cut of the cap, but it is the white cap.

Yes, had our alarm go off, and discovered the detector was close to its 5 year life. I replaced it. I now cover my detector with seranwrap while trailer is winterized and stored. No more problems. RV antifreeze is human safe and it is designed to keep "O" rings and other components lubricated. When we de-winterize, we run fresh water through the lines, we close the fresh tank, and reconfigure the knobs, add a 1/4 cup of bleach into the hose, connect the hose to the fresh tank fill and fill the fresh tank. We run water through the lines, let things sit for an hour, and drain the tank. We refill the tank and are ready to travel. No where have I found anything posted that RV Antifreeze will damage your seals or components. We have hard water in Indiana and use a On The Go Water Softener and top of the line single filter whenever we fill up. Filter by The FitRV

Spotted our fourth Oliver at Split Rock Lighthouse State Park, Shipwreck Campground, Two Harbors, MN Hull #1045, Jolli Olli says happy camping to Hull #475. Sure would love to know more about your small window awning/shades. Got to meet Minnesota Ollie on the way out. Had a nice chat.

Great Photos. Have fun at the Rally. We decided not to go this year.🙃

Two more Oliver sightings on Sunday, both on M28 while we were travelling West to Porcupine Mountain Wilderness SP. Both Olivers were traveling East, one East of Munsing, MI, and the second between Munsing, MI and Marquette, MI So far 3 on this trip.

Headed back to our campsite at Wilderness State Park, MI, near Mackinac City, MI and passed an Oliver headed out of the park. No front decal and black AC cover. Waved, just couldn't get the window down to make a fool of my self🤣

Not sure where the "twice in 2 years" came from. Twice in 5 years. The last one may have been on me for not checking the cable connectors. The cables were loose, there had been arching and the cable ends were pitted. I felt better replacing it just in case, and now turn everything off and check tightness after our last trip of the year. The first day of ownership it tripped. It tripped again and Oliver sent me a replacement in 2022. Oliver stopped using the breaker in 2023 or 2024 and now use a large fuse.

First thing I see is your batteries are below 12.2. All it takes is one time to damage AGM's. They are unforgiving. Street side, at the front next to the actual inverter should be the inverter breaker. If it is tripped you can't charge the batteries. It is also possible that it is bad, and/or the cables are loose. Must be off shore power, solar off, inverter breaker tripped and then batteries off before touching the breaker. I have a 2022 and have had to replace the breaker twice.

Operator error, no pressure gauge. Great posts by someone with knowledge of RV fresh water tanks, and the destructive force that has destroyed stick built trailers. This person worked for a manufacturer of tanks, including fresh water tanks for RV's

Congrats and Welcome from Hull #1045

Keep your tongue raised slightly. We have the Dometic AC and had this happen. The trailer was dead level. I raised the tongue and the issue went away immediately. I also checked the two condensate after our trip and they were open.
