Well, I winterized this morning, and then the CO Detector went off 3 times. Most of the RV antifreeze I used was from last year and I opened a new one that was different, bought from same Ace Hardware. I left a window open. Very strange. First 2 times no issues.

Under warranty, and Oliver sent me a replacement. I may have to replace it again. Won't know until I take it into Oliver in February

I can't find anything on this topic on the Forum. I have tried window seal, window gasket, window seal gasket, etc Our gasket has shrunk close to an inch at the top. Some have replaced it in black. Who is the source for white or black gasket? What is the product #?

Our frame cracked in 2-3 corners and then again with the second and 3rd replacement, this even after Oliver shores things up. Not on my worry list. At some point I will dive in deeper.

Yes, on our 2022. Solar off first, then inverter breaker, followed by the batteries. Reverse to turn back on.

Not happened to us, so now that I have said that wait until 11/1 when I winterize and watch it happen. RV Anti-freeze is non-toxic, and you would think it wouldn't cause the CO sector to go off, but apparently it has. Keep us posted. Very strange.

Welcome from Hull #1045, Jolli Olli. Happy Camping.

High Risk Low Reward. It takes 10-15 to winterize and maybe 10 minutes to dewinterize. You can carry a couple of small jugs of water and RV Anti-freeze to use in the toilet. We live in Indianapolis and can expect 0° - 20° for extended periods. We get South where it might get to 35° at night and dewinterize. We keep our Truma Aqua-Go closed and the filter stored until we are in wark weather My question is why would you even risk doing what you have posted. When pipes in your Oliver freeze and crack, many times it is in hard to get to places, resulting in added expense and major stress. It simply isn't worth the risk, when it only takes 10 minutes to dewinterize.

Welcome Jason B. Congrats and best of luck.

Another Owner had an Audi 7 and destroyed their rear tires. The had rear sag. Not a good choice for a tow vehicle.

This is so sad. Having traveled this whole area at this time last year, hits home. Our prayers for all affected. Thanks for this post and sharing.

So sorry for the loss but happy there was a good ending.

I think I hit the perfect storm. Drawing the batteries down by running the AC off the inverter and then plugging the trailer onto 30amp to recharge the batteries, all in 85°+ heat. The inverter was hot and the fan was constantly running, tripped the breaker. All seems to be back to normal.

Is there an advantage to lowering the Xantrex Freedom 3000 charge current from 150 down to 100?

Thank you

I brought the trailer home to prep for our trip. I decided to run the Dometic AC off the inverter to draw the batteries down to 45-50% per Lithonics, and I wanted to see how long I could run the AC With the batteries around 45%, I shut the AC off, turned off the remote inverter I plugged into 30amp and when I went back into the trailer 5 minutes later I noticed the green light at the top right of the remote wasn't on. The microwave light is on. The inverter fan has been cycling on and off and I noticed the screen on the inverter under the street side was on, which it shouldn't be on. The remote was flashing a 20 error code. Need help. Thanks

The Andersen Levelers have been great. Used them for 10 years.

I use the Flush King and connect it to a short Camco hose in the bumper. I connect a hose to the connection on the left. The green thing is a "Save a drop" counter so I don't over fill. I dump each tank first. Empty the black and then the gray. I close the gray tank and reopen the black, turn the water on and watch the counter. There is a knob to turn off the water. Empty and repeat with the gray tank. I still like to use the black flush. Tank Kleen did our tanks at the Rally. The black tank was spotless, but the gray tank was bad. I use their Pine-Sol bath beads solution that Tank Kleen recommends, and add 3 gallons of water into the floor drain and 3 gallons into the toilet so it sloshes around while driving. If boondocking or extended camping I will limit adding water.

At the Rally I won this clear plastic that connects to a short hose and the connector to the flange on the bumper. It has a hose connection and a counter so I don't over fill the tank. I can do both tanks from the rear. I still like the back flush connection for the black tank. I don't have it handy at the moment. It has a handle to keep water filling the tank from emptying, and once full, I turn off the water at the unit and empty. I then close that tank and open the other and repeat.

Never thought about the stink pipe. Make sure you use plastic razor blades to cut the sealant. Don't ask me why🙃. Instead of caulk I used a "U" shaped silicone strip around the panel. Screwed back in and replaced the caps over the screws. Either Oliver forgot to install 2 bolts through the flat plate to hold the propane housing to the trailer or it came loose. I didn't find the nut under the sink..

Doubt it is a black tank issue. Gray tank yes. We had our tanks cleaned at the Rally and use a Pine-Sol mix. We always use the black tank flush after emptying and flush out the gray as well.
