Sorry to hear that. See you in 2026.

I had and issue with our Inverter back in October. Jason was at the Texas Rally and came to a couple conclusions While at the Mothership, they determined it was the inverter breaker. They didn't have a replacement anywhere. Since we would be plugged in, I told them I would order one when we got home. Today I checked my Lithonics App and batteries were 100%. When I checkedt Xantrex phone app it said 25% SOC. When I looked at the Xantrex Remote the green light wasn't on showing we were connected to shore power. I went under the bed and the inverter breaker wasn't tripped. I tripped it and re-set it. Still no lights on the remote. I pushed the top button the remote and the 20 error code came up. How do I resolve the 20 error code? It is still blinking.

Therma-Cells for the win. Used them for the past 15 years. We have 3. Keep the Mosquitos at bay.

After 40 years of camping I thought I have it all. NOPE. We are camped at Mustang Island State Park in Corpus Christi, TX. The campground is a bit quirky as half the sites have the table, shelter, grill, and fire pit on the usual curb side of the trailer, while the other half are located on the back side (street side). There are 2 table areas side by side, so a large space between trailers. Elsewhere there is a small buffer are where the electric hookups are. On the first night our neighbors on the street side decided to set-up in the buffer area and invite friends over. They set up their fire pit on our site, propane tank 4' from our trailer and fire pit about 4.5' from our trailer. They set up several chairs 2' from our trailer and under the dinette window. They also had a spot lite on the was aimed at our window. Turns out they have a big outdoor TV on the street side. What the HE__ were they thinking? The Ranger observed this and had conversation with the husband. The wife came flying out of the trailer and injected herself in the conversation. In the end they moved to where they should have been. Very rude, but a good laugh.

Looking for details about Oliver’s new bathroom door design
John Dorrer replied to Snackchaser's topic in Ollie Modifications
I believe the new door is fiberglass. For older trailers the entire bathroom wall would have to be replaced for the new door, which has rounded corners. I forget what Oliver said the price was to retrofit. It wasn't cheap. I remember the conversation with Oliver and the process was quite involved. I would contact Oliver for the latest info. -
CO/propane gas detector replacement
John Dorrer replied to rideadeuce's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
Late last year a number of us experienced the alarm going off after winterizing with RV Antifreeze. I purchased the same one and used small Wago connectors. The install was easy. However I must have touched wire ends, as there was no power to the unit. Turns out I blew the fuse for it. This fuse is under the street side bed, below the 3 jack fuses and is black. I also carry a battery operated one as back up. -
Overfilled propane tank warning.
John Dorrer replied to Steve and MA's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
Young kid at the hardware store over filled my 30lb tank. When I got home I noticed a problem and ended up releasing pressure some. Now I go to Tractor Supply. -
We had our Truma burner unit replaced yesterday. Oliver is only getting 15-20+/- burner replacements every 3-4+ weeks. It is going to be a long process. As their letter stated you can get it done by an approved Truma repair company and Oliver will reimburse you. Oliver was very proactive on this and unfortunately a number of Owners have been disrespectful to Oliver Service. Just hook up and go camping. Things will get done.

Jolli Olli is parked at the Cracker Barrel in Saltillo, MS. Had dinner last night and breakfast this morning. Waiting for the roads to dry out before a 2 hour drive to North Abutment COE in Grenada, MS, on the way to Waco, TX.

There was a small allotment received from Truma, and they were assigned to people with scheduled maintenance.

Best to contact Oliver. I believe a number of owners have had Oliver Dealers and Truma approved RV places do the work. I thought the letter was pretty thorough. We are getting ours done at the Mothership Monday.

Great Idea. Not sure about the event calendar. I believe it will get posted with the Rally Link on the website.

Welcome and congrats from Indiana, Hull #1045, Jolli Olli.

Greetings from Northern Virginia, new owner of Hull #1056

Congrats and welcome from Hull #1045, Jolli Olli -
We have the "I" Pass for Illinois, and the Midwest, includes Kentucky, out to Kansas. We also have the Texas Pass. While prefering back roads, many times camper is at the campground and travel is quicker on the roll roads around Texas. While I grew up with the Tri-State toll road and the I-80 toll road in Northern Indiana, I can also remember the long lines to toss coins into the basket. I would much prefer the electronic reading as I drive under the sensor than getting a bunch of written statements. They replenish our balance and I can review charges on the computer when I get home. I would prefer an extra 14-20 minutes on the Tri-State, I-294, than driving the Dan Ryan through the heart of Chicago, and especially towing the trailer.🙃 Have the

What are the temps. If below 32° the batteries will not charge unless you have your heating blanket on. 3 Lithiums and there is a toggle switch on top. Two lithium batteries and they have built in warmers.

Hoping you do your list again. Great having other owners site info. Always appreciate your time doing that😊👍

Truma Pressure Relief Valve Leaking
John Dorrer replied to Rich and Jane Walker's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
YES, it important to have a pressure regulator. Not using one could result in you blowing your water lines apart at connections. A very costly proposition, not to mention a quick end to a trip. The water pressure isn't the same at each campground. Not using one is "high risk, low reward". -
Use 4/30, Oliver is interested only for the official dates of the Rally and especially for the banquet head count.
