SeeLevel 2 only Reads 19 & 38 on Fresh Tank
John Dorrer replied to I M in KS's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
Our fresh tank maxes out at 88%. I always overflow the tank and still 88%. Gray tank monitor was replaced under warranty. I just add 12% when looking at the fresh tank monitor. -
I did post this on RV Electric, Mike Sokol's Facebook site. One answer was "It appears to be the transfer switch, if there is one." UPDATE, saw you don't have the front plug or transfer switch, so that is out of the equation. The general tone was the original poster should join their Facebook group so that dialog is back and forth, as they felt there was conflicting comments from the OP. Keep us all posted.

I’m sure glad we added the Lithium Platinum Pro option!
John Dorrer replied to Steve Morris's topic in General Discussion
Bummer, but glad you have the Oliver for a base. -
That is an amazing area. It was probably in the '70's when I worked up there that I ate at some amazing Amish Restaurants.

I actually left Versailles SP off my list. We both enjoyed our stay there and would go back.

Discoloration on propane cover
John Dorrer replied to Steph and Dud B's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
Strange. I need to check ours. I spray it with ceramic coating after washing after each trip. Not seen anything that sticks out, but I will check -
While 98% of Oliver Owners will probably never make Indiana a destination camping trip, the state offers some of the best camping in the Midwest. With access along I-80 and I-94 in the North, I-70 and I-74 across central Indiana, I-64 across the South. North-South on I-65 and the newly completed I-69. This provides easy access for a couple days during travel through Indiana. The Indiana Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) manages the Indiana State Parks and State Recreation Areas (SRA). All Indiana State Parks have electric, water throughout the campground, dump stations, and well maintained restrooms/showers. Some even have dedicated fresh water lanes just inside the campground and not connected to the dump station. From reservoirs to Lake Michigan, and beautiful canyons, and Indiana Limestone cliffs, there is a lot for everyone. Indiana Dunes SP and Indiana Dunes NP have great camping off Lake Michigan. No hook-ups in the National Park. Lake Michigan is a 5 minute walk from the State Park campground. By November we will have camped in all 22 state parks and a large number of the SAR's. Our favorites, North: Indiana Dunes SP, Potato Creek SP, and Pokegan SP. Central: Turkey Run SP, Prophets Town SP, South: Clifty Falls SP, O'Bannon Woods SP. Also, there is Lincoln SP. The Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial is just across the road from the State Park. South Central: Brown County SP near Bloomington. If you need info please feel free to reach out to me. Indiana Hospitality is the best.

Camden SP is beautiful. Drive up to the observation tower. Just North is a great restaurant with Lobster Rolls to die for. Micro brewery in town. Town is a nice place to stroll.

Yes, There are many states that have one or more parks that don't have hook-ups. It is very easy to check on their websites. We have camped at Grand Isle SP, Stowe ( SP name escapes me), and Middlebury SP.

Always travel from home with full tank.

Anyone replace Norcold fridge with Isotherm?
John Dorrer replied to Kathy Tewart's topic in General Discussion
That is probably the best and safest way to go. I wasn't clear with my comment.🙃 -
Anyone replace Norcold fridge with Isotherm?
John Dorrer replied to Kathy Tewart's topic in General Discussion
Kathy, I would think the swap would be fairly easy. The big things would be capping the propane line, wiring for AC/DC, insulating, and covering one or both vents on the backside of the vent. I would look very closely at the drawer fridge/freeze. Not sure who makes it, but being a lento open it without loosing all the cold like the current fridge do when you open it. -
Dave, If the trailer is going to be in storage warehouse for over 3 weeks I plug it in and leave it. Less than 3 weeks I just leave it unplugged. When would go get it and pull up the Lithonics app, the State of Charge was all over the place for each battery. 95%, 87%, and 83%. I reached out to Oliver and Mike said if the warehouse Bay doors are open the panels will pick up a little and suggested, I turn off the solar. Next time I turned off the solar the battery State of Charge was close between the 3 batteries. This stuff is way over my pay grade.

Sun Shade awnings that attach to extisting oliver awning
John Dorrer replied to MarkC's topic in General Discussion
I have hesitated for the reasons stated. Someone bought off Amazon and it wouldn't stay in the groove. If you are going to do this reach out to Girard, and place the order through them. No returns so use their measurement tables and get it from them We have a small Clam. I look at this as high risk, low reward. For that reason we won't be purchasing one. -
An update on the required documents. There is an online document you must submit, including attaching a photo of your dog. The documents must include the dates of travel and should be submitted just prior to your trip. Then there is a document that must be filled out by your vet and you need to have that document when you cross back into the US. The document must include the micro-chip # and the rabies vaccination # and must have an ink signature by your vet.

Thanks. Hopefully they will confirm 😊
