The condensation pan on our Ollie drains to the single drain tube discussed earlier in this thread. I've only had top covers and interior cover removed on our AC unit, but don't remember how the condensation pan was set up or if I could see it. Had a Coleman 13.5K AC on our previous camper and it did not have a drain tube installed like Ollie, it drained out on the roof.

The AC drain for our Dometic AC is a white tube or hose close to the exterior Cable TV inlet connection on the port & aft bottom hull corner of our 2015 Elite II. Don't have any close up photos right now, will take one during next visit to Ollie's hangar.

Mainiac, Here's where the drain for our Dometic AC is located. It's a hose/tube run from the AC unit between the inner and outer hull shells to the location below:

This link shows how to identify which Dexter axle you have installed on Ollie: http://www.dexteraxle.com/docs/default-source/default-document-library/light-duty-axle-identificationed9a809d2ba463c18d7aff64007a4014.pdf?sfvrsn=0 Called Dexter with axle lot serial number on Ollie, they emailed a PDF build list document for Oliver with component descriptions and part numbers.

This is not about clearing the AC drain, but what I use under my knees while working on the roof. I'm sure this is overkill, but for protection of Ollie's roof and my knees at my weight of 215lbs, made two knee pads for working on Ollie's roof. Laminated two memory foam seat cushions together sandwiching a PVC cutting board in the center using adhesive to hold everything together for each knee pad. Used so far for waxing, antenna, AC, and roof vent work.

Matteo, Photos of you hard at work at the Oliver Rally. You're welcome to use these photos however you want and have higher resolution, if needed! Best Regards,

Coy, These folks have kits for 2018 GMC Sierra 1500 pickup dash display: https://camera-source.com/automotive-cams/gm-oe-fit.html?make=GMC&v_model=Sierra&year=2018

John, We turn the refrigerator off while towing and use reusable ice blocks to keep everything cool while traveling. We leave enough room in the freezer to re-freeze the blocks at night. Tried memory foam blocks behind the vent covers during storage, but not enough clearance for the blocks. Solid covers on the vent covers during travel on dusty roads should work when the refrigerator is turned off.

Wanted to post a few rally photos. Hats off to Coy and everyone that had a hand organizing this fine event. Enjoyed meeting new friends and seeing old friends. Additional photos are Welcome!!!!

John, Fine fix and photos. Should last a long time, too.

Bill, Installed six pins per side with zerks pointing out for easy access. Built a grease gun stand out of 2X4s for Coy, also pointed his pins/zerks out. Sent him an email to see if he will bring the grease gun stand to the Rally, it works nicely for zerks pointing out.

Cindy and Russell, Our 2016 Toyota 5.7L 4X4 Tundra's top of ball to ground measurement is 22.5" before connecting to Ollie. Ollie's tongue weight is around 450lbs and trailer weight (empty water tanks) about 4950lbs without WDH in this photo. We keep Ollie's weight low by transporting extra gear in the pickup bed and pickup's back seat area. Most E2s ready to camp weights are heavier than our Ollie. Hope this helps!

I'm like Tom, give two full shots of grease per fitting with a 14OZ grease gun. Ollie has one fitting that is a little hard to pump grease into. Take a little weight off of that side with Ollie's jack and fitting takes grease easier.

Found this drawing that came with our 10" memory foam mattresses, they fit nicely and are very comfortable. Assume top view mattress dimensions are all the same, installed in Hull 75.

AB Lifestyles made memory foam mattresses for our twin Ollie probably during the summer of 2016. They should have mattress dimensions with proper radius. If they can't find order information, please PM, I will get the order number and may also have a top view drawing of the mattresses in Ollie.

Here's a shot of Hull 75:

Mike, Will be traveling on I70 from Utah through CO, not too far from Black Canyon . Looks like we will need to make several trips to Colorado with plenty of exploring to do. Appreciate the information,

Mike, Which routes did you use to get there, from north or south? I'm putting a trip together and looking at routes to use. We have not camped in CO, yet. Thanks,

Mike, Fine photos. We're looking forward to camping in this area during late summer on our way from southern Utah! Thanks for the report.

We plan to drive to Desoto State Park AL and hike to Desoto Falls. We're playing golf Saturday and Monday. http://exploresouthernhistory.com/desotopark1.html

Debbie & I plan to play at least two days. Saturday and Monday is fine with us, too.

Debbie and I wish Everyone "Happy Saint Patrick's Day" We're celebrating our 45th anniversary of our first date today. Enjoyed the Harp Guitar video. We like Chet Atkins and Mark Knopfler, too:

Bill and Martha, Welcome and Congratulations on your Ollie! Hopefully Debbie and I will meet y'all while camping in the near future!

Gary and Wendy, Welcome! Fine decision choosing Oliver. You live in a beautiful area, we camped on Hunting Island SC several times. Hopefully Debbie and I will meet y'all camping in the future and play golf. We always take our clubs and camera.

Chris, I can answer some of your questions, you will find many helpful and knowledgeable folks here that can share additional information. Our batteries are at 9.0 so it appears my first goal is to get them charged? Yes I was at the trailer this morning and connected the trailer & tow vehicle with the 7 pin connector for about 30 minutes but didn’t see a change in charge level. It has been reported in another thread that some Ollies would not charge batteries when connected to the tow vehicle, I can't find the thread right now. Our Ollie batteries will charge when connected to the TV . I do have a question, did you wire the 7 pin connector yourself? Yes, it's easy to connect two wires - & + to make it work We are registered for the Rally and pending Duke’s recovery, will be there. Although I’ve got to learn how to handle the Ollie by myself, we may need to ask for help with unhooking/hooking up of trailer. There will be many folks at the rally ready to help!
