Hull #1045, 2022, E-2 (Delivery 3/10/22) On our recent 3 week trip the CO Detector went off 3 times around 2-3 a.m. The first time it might have gotten or not gotten some human assistance in the form of a few methane bombs🤣. The last two no human or pet help. Temps were in the 40's so the furnace was set at 62°-64°. The window at the dinette was open 2"-3". We have always left a window slightly cracked. One of us used the bathroom and a half hour later it went off. Last night I immediately opened the door and opened the dinette window completely. It turned off and the green light came back on in 15 seconds. Should get 5 years out of it. About 5 days between #1 and #2 and a couple of days between #2 and #3 Any ideas? I'm at a loss. John

Our tank maxes out at 88%, with water pouring out of the overflow. Oliver said our fresh water monitor was fine, but the gray was bad and they replaced the gray monitor.

That sucks. I will remove.

I had a good conversation with one of the technical support engineers at Lithonics. He told me to keep the trailer plugged in at our unheated storage place and turn on the battery warmer. Plugged in for 3-1/2+ months. Hull #1045, 2022, E-2, Lithium Pro Package, 3 Lithonics batteries.

On the 2022 Oliver, Oliver started delivering trailers with tires at 55psi. They said the spare was at max and if needed to lower it to 55.

No 120 vac from outlets in Elite II.
John Dorrer replied to docron's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
During all of your investigation, did you check the state of charge on the Lithonics app for each battery and the Xantrex app for the volts? -

support@olivertraveltrailers.com Start a ticket as others stated. They have always been responsive. Whether it is Jason, Mike, or Hannah, I have always gotten support on electrical issues. Go under the front dinette and check the backside of the GFIC outlet for loose wire(s). Good Luck and please share the fix. -
We store inside. We don't turn the solar off and I have seen that on ours. I spoke to Mike and he said with the solar on and no solar the draw can be different. The next time I turned the solar off they were even or one was 1% different.

Check to make the inverter breaker hasn't tripped. It is located under the street side bed at the battery box wall, and next to the actual inverter. Two days after we picked up our 2022, we had gone from the Oliver campground to David Crockett SP, plugged into shore power at both, and was checking the Lithonics app when I noticed all my batteries were around 73%. Spoke to Mike and he emailed me a picture and sure enough the inverter breaker had tripped. This happened again twice and Oliver sent a new one under warranty. What is your app showing for state of charge?

We carry a 50L National Luna top loading fridge/freezer in the truck. If connected to shore power, plug in at pole or to Oliver. If Boondocking we use a combination of generator and Goal Zero 400 lithium power pack. We have a solar panel for the goal zero also. The fridge is strapped into the back seat and cable locked to the seat belt base. We have a swim noodle cut to fit the window and it is slit down the side to fit over the window. It acts as a seal for the heavy duty extension cord.

Nice idea. Added amber tape to the upper lights on both sides, but not done anything with the lower ones. Was thinking blue auto tape.

Decalcifying the Truma water heater

Oliver doesn't have a video. Found this and thought it might come in handy. I just order the Truma tablets on Amazon.- 1 reply

This showed up on Facebook. The 1-1/4" receiver has a max weight of 150lbs for bike rack and bikes. Is the 150lbs just for the weight on the receiver or on the bumper or both? The person has also mounted 2 - Honda 2200 generators over what appears to be the fastening bars for the bike rack. 2-Honda generators @ 50lbs.+/- each, 2-bikes, and the bike rack on an Elite 1. It seems to me too much weight off the rear bumper. Any thoughts?

A Return to the Wind River Range in Wyoming

Regular screw for the bottom one. I hate those screws with a passion. I'll try and get a better picture.

I decided to check the backside of the 30amp plug under the rear dinette seat.. I want to check and make sure the wiring screws were tight. Someone else did this and it looked easy. I'm electronically challenged. First, I tried regular and metric Allen wrenches I could seem to find one that fit and I couldn't budge the Allen screw. Need someone to walk me through the steps. The lower screw appears to go through the power cord. What does the Allen screw do and what is the larger screw do? Any help would be appreciated. Sometimes it is better to not open Pandora's box. Any help on what needs to be done and how would be greatly appreciated.

Hopefully you solved the issue. When we picked up our Oliver in March 2022 everything was working perfectly. 2 days later while camped at David Crockett SP and plugged in, I pulled up the Lithonics App and to my dismay the batteries were down to 75+/-%. I contacted Oliver and they walked me through, locating the inverter breaker under the street side bed, on the battery wall and adjacent to the inverter. It had tripped. Re-set and all was good. 2 months later it tripped twice more. Oliver sent me a replacement and all has been good.

We originally selected frosted, but switched to black. Can't see anything inside the cabinets. Glad we chose black.

Don't try. The sites are small, the campground road is very narrow. No place for your tow vehicle, 20' max length. Someone did try and had no place to turn around. It was a struggle. Not to mention the drive up with switch backs. Yes, delivery trucks get up to the lodge, but you have a tow vehicle and trailer. Cottonwood or Rio Grand Village are your best spots, or get a site that requires a permit. Do drive up to Chisos and hike "The Windows" trail. Can't beat the views.
