Have you checked to make sure that the fridge is plugged in - assuming that it is one of those models? Bill

and a bunch or other stuff too!

No "facts" from me but I agree with your street side reasoning for yet another reason. Since most roads have a crown (the middle of the road is higher than the shoulders of the road such that rain can drain to the shoulders of the road more easily), there is more of the vehicle's weight on the curb side tires versus the street side tires. Therefore, the less weight you have on the side of the vehicle (or trailer) that has only one tire or any questionable tires the better off you probably are. Bill

LOVE IT! He tooted.

Sure is a bunch less expensive than the Viair too.

The battery(ies) could be subject to bouncing around in there? 😬

WHAT! How on earth could THAT happen? We're here - aren't we? 😁

WOW! My Ollie just turned 8 years old about a week ago. So, 1500/117= 1383 hulls that have been made in the past 8 years or 172.875 per year or 3.3245 every week. Just to round things out - I've been told that during the height of production just after Covid hit, the factory was producing about 7 hulls per week. Amazing how time flies! Bill

A number of YouTube videos have tended to disprove this approach. But, I've never personally tried it because (as of now) I've never had this problem. Bill

To quote Google - "A Roadpass account is a single login (email and password) that you can use across our RV and road travel apps. Think of it like an Apple ID or a Google login. It's one secure account you can use to sign into more than one place - fewer logins to remember!Nov 17, 2023" Bill p.s. The cynic in me also says that it just might be a way to get more money from you and me - particularly for the "pro" or "premium" apps and/or services provided.🤔

HDR- "Google", "does roadpass own compendium" and you will get the answers to most of your questions. Bill

I'll second THAT promotion! Bill

Nope! Not because I don't want to - but - because I simply don't know - sorry. Bill

There are times when purchasing a quality item just doesn't make any sense. Several years ago I was talking to a friend of mine about buying one of his sets of "Snap-On" tools from him. He said that given the amount of time that I would use this combined with the type of work that I do (hobby and repair) my purchase simply would not make any economic sense - his recommendation was to just buy the same set in a Craftsman or Kobalt or Ridgid/Huskey brand instead and pocket the extra money. However, there are certainly other times when plunking down that extra money makes perfect economic sense. And, can actually save money over the longer term. Having said this - in the case of RV's, hopefully buyers get a good handle on what their camping needs and wants are prior to buying anything. This is easier said than done though. It sure is awful nice to have all that room of a big 5th wheel until you find out that it is a big PITA to travel with let alone get into and out of many camping spots in more remote places. Knowing now that I really could sell my Oliver for (at least) what I paid for it 8 years ago pales in comparison to the joy I get when people can't believe that it is going into its 9th year and still looks new. Add this to the enjoyment I've had with Twist over the 8 years, I'm absolutely certain that this was the correct choice for me. But, if I only wanted to go to the local RV park for the weekend or had a bunch of kids, I understand that my decision could have been different. Bill

Can I assume that you (nor anyone else) is going to give us a hint as to what to expect at this place? 😬

Given the few times that I've ever needed the extra length, I purchased a 12 gauged 50 foot extension cord. Sure, the two times in 8 years that I've needed it I could only use one electric device at a time (i.e. you can only use the air conditioner OR the microwave but NOT both at the same time). This cord is lighter, smaller and a bunch less expensive. Presently Harbor Freight has one on sale for $30. Bill

Yep - #2 not #1. Or, you could ask the campground where you have the reservation if they could move you or if the site you have reserved also has a 30 amp plug at the pedestal - many do. Bill

The story behind the cow and calf above is: I had been fishing the stream right behind my Ollie (stream is visible in the pic and this is my campsite). I was still some distance from camp but walking back via a dirt road when approximately 400 yards in front of me I saw something come out of the woods that was large, black and had fur! Due to the distance and the heavy shade I simply could not tell exactly what this critter was but, I knew that it had crossed to the stream side of the road and was between me and camp. I could hear it but given the vegetation I only caught short glimpses of that black fur. I felt a bit foolish carrying the bear spray in my hand and yelling "hey Bear" when I finally, got to within about 75 yards I saw the calf and figured that if this black critter was a bear then this calf would have already been dinner! Well, Mom and calf seemed to like my camp and hung around for a 1/2 hour or so, but, Mom left me a very nice "present" just outside the door. 🤠💩 Watch where you step and don't get between Mom and baby. Bill

And other critters too.

Glad you got it working and a big THANKS to all that got on board trying to help a fellow owner - that is what "family" is all about. Again, sorry I had to run earlier but you were in good hands with all that came to your aid. Bill

OK - good on the grounding plug. Other than turning the inverter off and then on again I don't know of a way to "reset it". However, I don't think that the inverter has much if anything to do with your problem. Basically, the generator produces 110-120 volts of electricity and sends it through the EMS (making sure that the generator electricity doesn't hurt your Ollie) to the transfer switch and then to the charger/converter. The charger converts the 110 volts down to 12 to 14.6 volts and sends that electricity to the batteries. Therefore, the inverter never comes into play. Do you have a multi-meter that you can use to test the voltage coming out of the generator? I really hate to do this to you - but - I have to leave the Forum now. Hopefully someone will pick up the ball (like Steph and Dud B did) to continue to try to help you. Good luck! Bill

A couple more things to try - 1. have you simply shut everything off, unplugged the generator from the Ollie and waited at least 5 minutes to give all systems a chance to reset? 2. If it is the transfer switch (I doubt this because you've now had the same problem with both the front and side transfer switches on your Ollie) and you have a rubber mallet then you can hit (tap) the transfer switch box. This will help the springs inside the switch snap back into place if they are "stuck".

Don't worry - yet. First we have to figure out exactly what the problem is. Have we confirmed that there is a grounding plug being used? It should look something like THIS one.

Do you have the optional front shore power plug? If yes, then if possible try plugging the genny into that and see if you get the same result. I assume that you have checked all of your connections - make sure that the cord is solidly plugged into both the genny and the Ollie. Bill

OK - the data link error should not have anything to do with the charging problem. This error code only means that the remote display is not communicating with the main EMS computer. I do not have a generator, but, I still suspect that the issue lies with the either the generator or the transfer switch. Try what Steph and Dud B are telling you. Bill p.s. thanks to Steph and Dud B for trying to help out!
