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😊👍

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.

👍

Glitch has been repaired and Rally Registration is ready.😊

Registration is now open. However there is a glitch that Oliver has to fix The arrival calendar is locked in on May 2024 and will not allow you to manually enter 04/29/2025. When you manually enter your arrival date the system rejects your registration. I spoke to Josh a few minutes ago and he said Matt would fix it when he gets in In the meantime I would sit tight and check back later today.

Welcome and congrats from Hull # 1045, Jolli Olli.

JD, This is great thread for those with older trailers. I'm always amazed by the depth of knowledge by a number of members. Hoping our 2022 carries us for years to come, without having to do anything major. Anything electric is over my head🙃 Thanks for sharing all your mods. JD

Lithium batteries are the way to go. I spent 8 years in a truck camper with 2-12 volt AGM's and a 12v compressor fridge. I got 4.5 years out of the batteries before replacement. We also had only 100w solar on the roof, with an 80w portable panel and eventually a Honda 2200i. We did replace the 100w panel for 2-100w Zamp panel for the last 3 years, before purchasing the Oliver. Most of our camping was deep in the back country, so no Hook-ups. I can say this, we never got lower than 12.2. We managed our system very well. At night to save we used battery powered lights to see. It is so much better not having to be on "Battery Watch"

Never discharge below 50%. 12.3 is a safe bottom number. It only takes one time to go below 50% to damage AGM batteries. They aren't forgiving. It doesn't mean they are toast. Fully charged then, remove them from the trailer and take them to a place that can conduct a load test. You have a lot of things going, fridge, furnace, inverter, television, and additional draws not mentioned. It doesn't take much for the deep dive.

As others stated, slowly, hair dryer, and plastic razor blades. I have no experience with using Goo Gone in the process.

Awesome Advise👍

OK got it. We use our fresh tank 100%. I have never experienced what you stated. I will have to look at ours on our next trip👍

I'm confused on how the water pump figures in on this when draining the tanks. I didn't understand that conversation.

When I drain it .

JD here you go.

JD on the website as noted. You need to make your camping reservation first. Sometime in the next 30+/- days Oliver will post on the website for people to register with Oliver for the Rally and pay the fee. You have get your campsite first.

I drain my fresh tank to 0. On the flip side the max reading is 88% full and that is after 30 seconds of water pouring out of the overflow valve. My gray tank shows 13% after draining. If there is slope at the dump I have gotten it down to 0. As far as the fresh, I just add 12 to the fresh tank readout.

High highly recommend you reach out to Oliver and be able to be in the trailer so they can walk you through the steps. You can then share with Oliver exact steps you have been following and see where the disconnect is😊

Thank You. Learn something new everyday.👍

What year trailer? Could you fix your signature. Thanks

Every furnace on an Oliver is located under the curb side bed at the rear of the trailer. I've never heard of an Oliver furnace located elsewhere. Could you provide more information. Thanks

Not so much that it is a snowman, but that it is a snowman in Florida with Florida snow🤣

Looking forward to seeing yours😊
