The grease tray comes off. You should get the cover. It keeps the griddle clean We also have the carry case and the Blackstone quick connect.

When you say 2 Romex cables, what are they? I see 3 of these connectors. Where you zip tying around all of the cables of the 3 connectors? Did you put everything back into the junction box or leave them out? We have a 2022 and I want to have a better understanding when I pick up the trailer before our next trip. What type tape did you use? Thanks

We have the Goal Zero 400 Lithium Power Pack. It is my home back-up to run my CPAP if there is an outage. I take it on every camping trip. I will use it to power our top loading fridge if we don't have shore power at night, and then recharge while driving.

Now after reading Steph & Dud's post and fix, I'm surprised Oliver didn't have an immediate answer, since Steph & Dud shared the info on the burnt connector previously. In any event the issue was solved.

Glad you got it solved. I think getting answers is more likely to come from owners that have experienced this same thing and solved the problem themselves. There is a wealth of knowledge on this site as well as the Facebook site. I can't speak as to why Oliver didn't suggest checking the next batch of connectors down the line. IMO answering electrical questions over the phone might be hard. If you had an electrical issue with your tow vehicle, the dealer would want to see it. This is kinda a mixed bag and in the end fellow owners stepped up and the issue was solved. Thanks again for the update and good news. Was this located on the curb side wheel well?

We front loaded the year. We had several summer Indiana State Parks mid-year last year with temps in the mid to high 90's. Never again. Even with the break, we will be over 100 nights with the Colorado, New Mexico, Texas trip, mid-Sept to the end of October. I sure we will have some warm temps as we wonder through the Texas panhandle in mid-Oct on the way to Inks Lake Rally. Otherwise, we are just chilling.

Parked for the next 2-1/2 months. 96° in Indy today. No longer interested in camping in the heat 🙃 The mountains of Southern Colorado and New Mexico in late September.

Happy Anniversary. We just celebrated #49 a week ago.

What a trip! Lots of memories for sure. Thanks for sharing.

The inverter breaker is under the street side bed, at the front (battery box wall). The sequence is as follows: Turn off solar. Trip the inverter breaker, then turn off your Lithium batteries. To turn back on reverse order. You don't want to put loads on the inverter by turning a battery off or on, one at a time with the inverter on. Again, 1. Turn off solar 2. Turn off inverter at breaker 3. Turn off batteries This information was provided by Oliver, and confirmed by Lithonics. Our winter storage needed a conversation with Lithonics.

Actually, someone with an E-2 and 2 awnings pulled out of a campsite with an awning out and ripped it nearly off. They had to completely remove the awning to be able to leave. This was maybe 2 years ago. So then why didn't it retract.g guess it was already out, so did that prevent the retraction? I will look for the post. B Being an engineering nerd, gives people reasons to dive deeper into an issue. Not all bad

I think you are correct. The thing I really wondered was what the E-1 got before they started building E-2's. That wouldn't affect this.

That person didn't clarify whether they had an Elite 1 or 2. Not sure if Oliver was installing 7,000 on Elite 1's also

Not sure other than he said there was some form of sensor that triggered the awning to close

That will be hard to top, more like impossible to top😎

UPDATE: Jason followed up and asked if the trailer was still plugged into the 7-pin. Yep. Only here for 2 nights so we kept connected There is a safety thing that results in the awning automatically retracting so you don't drive off with it out The "Fire Drill is over"🙃

Arrived at campsite, no measurable wind, light breeze. Tucked along a tree line. Deployed the Girard and 2 minutes later it retracted. The remote stop button wouldn't stop the awning from retracting. Waited a bit to let the motor cool down. Deployed it a second time and after a couple minutes it retracted again. Can the awning sense low battery in the remote, or will the remote do this if the battery is low in the remote? I have not changed the remote battery since our 3/10/22 pickup, nor have I changed the wind sensor batteries. What size button battery? Any suggestions would be appreciated. TIA

UPDATE: 5/30/24 I received the Gorilla Epoxy Ultimate recommended by Jason. Prior to fixing, I wiped the back of the inverter mounting board and the fiberglass wall with alcohol, removing construction dust. I mixed the 2-part and applied large dabs of epoxy to the back of the mounting board, and immediately pressed the board to the fiberglass wall. I wedged my MacGyver fix to keep the inverter tight to the fiberglass wall. I will keep the wedge in place until we get back from a short trip.

Welcome from Hull# 1045, Jolli Olli

Noticed in the pictures most of the adhesive beads were still intact, with only a few places where a small amount was on the fiberglass wall. It appears the mounting board was never pressed into the adhesive beads.

While conducting a pre-trip inspection, I discovered the mounting board for the inverter had broken loose from the the adhesive bond to the wall The inverter was laying against the wheel well. All wiring appears to be fine. Ticket submitted to Oliver. Looks like and easy fix. Asked Oliver adhesive they used. My MacGyver fix was two 1-gallon tea bottles with a 2x4 to wedge it tight to the wall. Pictures attached. Any thoughts. Things happen🙃

First, my impression after reading your earlier comment was you intended on completely removing all sealant inside and outside. I read your comment twice and came to the same conclusion. Sealant provides a watertight seal to all joints and an estetically pleasing finish. Sealant at the windows is weatherproofing. Without sealing the windows you will have leaks everywhere. You asked why there was so much sealant in the bathroom. Our 2022 has a special plastic wall at the bathroom and closet. All panel joints are caulked to keep water in the bathroom and from leaking into the trailer. You asked why the wheel fenders are caulked. I actually don't understand your thoughts process. The sealant at the fenders is for aestetic purposes, and to keep spray confined. Sealant is a necessary component to every building, boat, trailer. As I have mentioned, my preferred sealant is polyurethane. Oliver doesn't do custom work. I get what they used, not what I want. It is what it is. For me a soft bristle tooth brush and soap cleans my sealant joints. I can promise you this, if you removed all the sealant and put your trailer up for sale, any smart person will walk so fast, and your chances of selling very remote. I would be worried about mold, because it will happen. I would worry about electronic components. Oliver would never sell or sign off on unfinished trailer. Never, ever would happen. This is my position on your posts.

I spent 40 years in the Building Envelope business, designing, large exterior sealant jobs along with the design of large commercial roofing projects. We also did forensic investigations. My sealant of choice was high performance Polyurethane Sealants, single and and multiple component. Silicone was used for glazing by other trades. The silicone used by Oliver is, I believe, marine grade for use on fiberglass. I have seen zero issues on the sealant work on Oliver's. What I see is a lack of maintenance to re-caulk every 4-5 years, based on how the Oliver is stored and exposed to UV. . Silicone leaves a residue that can't be removed, especially on masonry surfaces. It will be very hard to remove all sealant from the Oliver, without leaving caulk and residue. Once caulked with silicone, you will need to re-caulk with silicone. If you switch to Polyurethane, there will be adhesion failure. There are several comments you made that are not accurate.

First, I would start with Oliver and find out what they used. You don't want to have a comparability issue. Switching from silicone to say a Polyurethane will result in adhesion problems. Silicone sealants will leave a residue that you really can't remove.

Congrats
