I have maintenance scheduled at the Mothership for late February There are a number of owners that have replaced their failed touch lights with something similar that also has a blue night light. I going to buy a 4-pack and have Oliver replace the 2 bad ones. No negative reports on these. By the way I asked about having the new lights (2024 Oliver's) with toggle switch installed, but the lights are larger, requiring moving them slightly and doing some fiberglass repairs. Bummer.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. If your grilling or cooking a turkey out in the wild, please share your Turkey Day Photos. Happy Camping and safe travels where ever you are. 🦃🦃

I would suggest having a 30amp box installed on your garage or where you store your trailer. We had a 30p box installed next to the Fuse box in our garage and an on/off switch in the fuse box for the 30amp. I plug in the trailer and flip the switch just like the shore power post at a campground. Cost me $275+/-.

Balance Beads Continuing Saga
John Dorrer replied to AlbertNTerri's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
We had the new valve stems installed by Oliver, but just didn't trust those beads. We took the trailer to a truck tire place where they removed the tires and the beads and vacuumed the inside of the tires for good measure. They reinstalled the tires and balanced the wheels with weights, and rotated the tires. No more beads. -
Went back through this thread. It was October they shorted up theicrpwave and replaced the trim for the 3rdntime, not this past February So I went from late October 2022 until 2/27/23 when I discovered the new crack. I need to check and see if I started another ticket in February, which O would have been still iny 1 year Not really concerned either way. JD

*Hull #1045, 2022 Picked up 3/10/22 *Noticed 3 corners of microwave skirt split, 6/10/22 *Oliver sent a replacement * By Fall of 2022 at least 2 corners split again *3rd one installed by Oliver on 2/20/23 under warranty. Oliver installed some type of shims *2/27/23 the bottom right corner split, so one week after being replaced for the 3rd time My brain is a bit hazy as to whether I communicated this to Oliver or just kind of gave up. Picture #1 taken in June 2022 Picture #2 taken in June 2022 Picture #3 taken 2/27/23, on week after it was replaced for the 3rd time.

I'll try to remember to get some pictures when we drove up to the storage place to check on the trailer in a couple of weeks Thanks👍

Phil was our go to person. Very sad to see him leave, but happy for him with his career change. I'm sure we will be hearing from him down the road. He was the best.

Maybe the 2022's don't have them. I need to check with Oliver to verify.

Hull #1045, 2022 E-2 I had forgotten all about this. It recently came up in the discussion on changing AC units. How do you use this feature? The only things I remember is you use it to take the chill off in the trailer and it runs off electric. I want to know what the parameters are for its use and how to activate it.

Everytime we are in Yellowstone it is amazing the amount of stupidity we see. There is something else between their ears and it isn't a brain -

So they haven't gotten rid of the touch lights that have been problems. Two of ours have failed in the first 2 years.

For those that like to Boondock out West, Benchmark Atlas are the best, IMO, for showing BLM, USFS lands and campgrounds. We have Wyoming, Montana, Colorado, Idaho, and New Mexico. The detail is amazing.

Curious whether Oliver still installs those finike touch lights in the 2023 or soon 2024. We have two that have failed in our 2022 E-2. Oliver sent one under warranty, but it is still in the box. I heard they might go to something like the bathroom with a switch, but haven't seen or heard anything. Several have replaced with a similar light that also has a blue night light.

2022 E-2, Oliver replaced it twice. They sent me #2 and I installed 2 months later it crack in 3 corners. 10/22 stopped at Oliver for warranty work and they shimmed the microwave and installed the 3rd one. This has also crack in one corner. Out of warranty now so I will just live with it.

Leave Black Tank Drain Valve Open When Flushing!
John Dorrer replied to Rivernerd's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
After dumping noth tanks, I close the black tank valve and fill the black tank to 50-55%. My wife sets the counter and tells me when we hit the magic number and then I open the valve with water still spraying the tank for a few minutes. That seems to get me to clear water. -
Yep, 70lb chocolate lab. Never known to fart🤣. I suppose that is a possibility. We remove the rugs and bed each morning. My wife vacuums while I brush off the rugs and bed. The first thing vacuumed is the return air vent for the furnace.

has anyone tried the new Dometic fresh jet 2200?
John Dorrer replied to Roadlotus's topic in Ollie Modifications
How do you set the thermostat for the heat strip? Love the idea for just warming things without burning propane. Thanks
