I got the EZZ Tire TPMS a few years ago and have been satisfied. Batteries are easy to change too. As rich.dev says - ANY TPMS is better than nothing! Whatever you do - get a TPMS with 6 sensors. You will need 4 sensors for the Ollie tires hitting the ground plus a 5th sensor for the spare tire. The 6th sensor is for the spare tire on your tow vehicle. Bill EEZ Tire can be found HERE.

Not fair! I get to wash Twist and then its Dogs and corn on the cob for supper. Ribs would be WAY better. Either way - none of this would matter if we weren't free and living here in the US of A. Happy 4th everyone!. Bill

Sure do like the view out that rear window. Shame it was raining but it does set the mood. -
Adding Water Accumulator to pre 2018 Elite II
topgun2 replied to bradbev's topic in Ollie Modifications
yes - and, it is fairly easy to do. -
Two possibilities for this one - 1 - take it apart and check the rubber washer. 2 - use a rubber mat - jar opener - to get a grip on it. Good luck! Bill

Hopefully my recent experience will not happen to anyone else - but, if you ever have to re-pair your Voyager system for whatever reason here is how you do it. Over the winter I got in contact with the folks at ASA Electronics - the makers of the Voyager camera system that most of us have on our Ollies. The camera I had developed a weak and got moisture inside the lens. Almost immediately they sent me a replacement (free) but it wasn't until today that I got around to installing it. What I thought would be a fairly simple swap turned out to be a 3/4 or a day job! The old camera had already been removed because I had to send it in for ASA to confirm that it had a "seal" malfunction. So, I thought that all I would have to do is take the electricians tape that was used as a temporary covering the hole in the hull, feed the camera wire through the hull, plug it in and then reseal everything back up. Anyone that has actually taken a look at the "instruction" that comes with these cameras might remember that there are nothing but a few pictures (i.e. nothing is mentioned about re-pairing the camera and monitor). Well, once I plugged the new camera in and powered it up, the monitor would NOT automatically "pair" with it. Over the next two hours I tried everything that I could think of to get it to "pair" to no avail. Of course this meant that I traced all electrical connection to make sure power was getting to the camera which involved starting at the switch by the door, and undoing my nicely bundled wiring all the way back to the camera. Countless times I turned the camera off turned the monitor off - all for no change in the situation. Until I took a 15 minute break for lunch! It just so happened that after the lunch break I turned on the monitor first without powering on the camera. I noted that the screen on the monitor looked different than it had earlier and instructed me to hold down the first two buttons at the top of the monitor for 5 seconds. After doing this another screen popped up that instructed me to power on the camera. Within 10 seconds a picture appeared on the monitor and the "problem" was solved. Of course I then had to replace my nice wiring bundles, re-caulk the hole through the hull and put the "attic" back in order. But at least now I have a new camera that works. As an added bonus, I played around with the setting (access via the "menu" button) and improved the color and crispness of the monitor well beyond what I had with the first camera. Happy camper!π Bill

Adding Water Accumulator to pre 2018 Elite II
topgun2 replied to bradbev's topic in Ollie Modifications
Yes and yes. Note the stainless steel lines on both the left and right side of this pic below. Obviously, this is before I covered all the water lines with the foam insulation. Bill -
The nighttime speeds are a bit darker? π

Adding Water Accumulator to pre 2018 Elite II
topgun2 replied to bradbev's topic in Ollie Modifications
OK - you've got the hard part done (and it really wasn't very hard - was it?). Now, replace the white hoses coming off the water pump with braided lines and place pipe insulation on anything you can . These measures will help quiet that pump even further. After you are done with that - you can place sound deadening material on the underside of the two hatches (or all six hatches if you really want to do it right). And place another layer of reflextix anywhere you can. Bill -
Apparently yours and mine are at least "kissing cousins" since Twist is hull # 117. During the summer I boondock for extended periods of time at altitudes ranging from 7,000 to about 9,500 feet. Never need the A/c but there are many a morning when I do need heat with overnight temps between 32 and the low 40's. Of course I'm a bit north of you in Colorado, Wyoming, Montana or Idaho. Hope you have as much fun with your Ollie as I have had and plan to have in the future. Welcome to the Family! Bill

Perhaps the charts below will help - for lithium (see 1st chart) and lead acid and AGM batteries (see 2nd chart).

I seem to recall exactly the same thing. I'll PM Matt to see what he has to say about it. Bill

Yep - since you've checked the air flow and it is OK then about all that is left is either you are not getting a "spark" for ignition (you know that this is also good because the furnace does ignite) or the furnace does not sense that you have a burner flame once it is ignited. If it were me - I'd try to clean the thermocouple - it will look something like THIS one. Even if you are successful in cleaning it and get the furnace to function, I'd strongly consider replacing it. Good luck! Bill p.s. NOTE! It is highly likely that the thermocouple on your furnace is different from the one referenced above - I only wanted you to know what it looked like, not that this one is a replacement for yours.

I'm aware of a recall/warranty repair that was authorized for certain models of the bath fan due to the very issue you are describing. Depending on the age of your Ollie and/or age of the fan, you just might want to open a Service ticket for this issue you are having. Bill p.s. it would help if you would let everyone know what year and model Ollie you own.

I'd give it another week or so and then if still nothing send a PM to Matt Duncan with the details that you submitted. Bill

Beware of the moose! Yes, it was during the rut but I actually saw a moose charge a tree in Wyoming a few years back. Billπ₯΄

That looks like a swimming area - just how cool/cold is that water? Also - just above the water it looks like really good bear habitat. I don't see any bear tracks by the shore though. Hope that the bugs are not too bad for you! Bill

A Private Message (PM) to Galway Girl might get you a bit of a quicker response.
