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?

How do you set the thermostat for the heat strip? Love the idea for just warming things without burning propane. Thanks -
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? -

John Dorrer replied to docron's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
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
John Dorrer replied to John Dorrer's topic in General Discussion
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?

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