@SeaDawg Did you upgrade to the two step steps, or did yours come that way? Our Hull 45 came with a single step only and was wondering if it's a simple upgrade or if they attach in a different manor requiring fabrication?

I was specifically talking about the original video in this thread where the unit was installed in an pickup bed camper. The Houghton is grossly oversized for their application. Edit: Also, testing at lower temps with high humidity will be a truer test to see if the unit is oversized or not. I'd really like to know how this Houghton performs (post fan mod) in an E2 under these conditions as I'd like to upgrade to a heat pump myself if and when my Coleman finally gives up.

I looked over every weld that I could see before purchasing my Ollie, but just went out again to recheck them all after seeing this post. Glad it was an easy fix.

Very nice and clean install! I was thinking of a similar setup to replace the terrible original equipment 24" LED Jensen I had, but the cheapskate in me decide to use a spare TV I had laying around instead.. Mounted a rail system so my 34" TV would sit behind the front face of the attic when folded up but then still be able to slide all the way back to the window when in the down position. Was thinking about a permanent mount back by the window like you have but didn't want to block the emergency exit. With the thinness of your monitor it doesn't look like you'll have that issue in the folded up position.. If I could find a similar monitor with a tuner I might be swayed into stealing your design!

Yes, it has a controller and a temp sensor wire built in, though I leave it set to OFF while not in use since the fan will run on low speed once the temp is over 70f. I almost always run the fridge on AC but it seems to extract about the same amount of heat no matter what power source the fridge is using. Here's the model. Might be able to find it cheaper elsewhere since it's gone up around $30 from this seller since I purchased it. It's designed to attach to the grill itself but I couldn't get that method to work with the amount of space I was dealing with. Just used parts of the kit and mounted it to the vent frame instead.

No factory fan on hull 45 but I added a double fan with auto controller to the upper vent opening. Amazed at how much heat it removes when set to high speed.

Thank you! Overall very happy with how it turned out, and more importantly- it makes the wife happy!

Finally got around to finishing up this project. Ended up ditching the rocker switch with dimmer setup and decided to add on/off dimmer switches on the outside above the lower fridge vent instead. I was a little concerned about running wiring behind the fridge so I ran all the wiring in a high temp shield back up to the panel. Much nicer to be able to control the lighting from the outside and I think it's a cleaner install this way, too. On to the next project! Dimmer switches High temp wire shield

The lack of a low temp charging cutoff wouldn't deter me from buying this battery. That problem can be easily solved by insulating the battery box, adding a heating mat underneath, or adding a low temp cutoff circuit to your charge controller (if that feature is available). Even if a battery has low temp cutoff built in I'd still have a heating mat under it and insulate the box if I lived or camped in cold weather environments.

I'm pretty sure it exists because neither the fiberglass floor nor the vinyl flooring itself are porous materials. The adhesive really has no place to absorb into like it does with the typical concrete or plywood underlayment and some of that adhesive near the outside edge finds its way out before curing. I replaced mine over a year ago and still get a couple of spots now and then.

Great idea, but it's bulky and ugly as sin.

We picked up a Weber Traveler a few months back and have been very happy with it. Only downsides I've found so far is that the newer models are a real PITA to convert over to a quick connect and that it only has one burner control. Gets to 600 deg fairly quick which is something that my Weber Genesis has a hard time achieving.

I wonder if they would agree to prewire for an additional charge if you didn't want the solar package?

No, I don't think she was aware of this forum at the time and was using RV Trader, Fiberglass RV's for sale and FB marketplace for her searching. She was actually more interested in a Bigfoot at the time and I'm thankful she found our Ollie first.

My wife found our Ollie on the FB Oliver's for sale page.

Never go anywhere without my SPOT tracker.

We use a similar setup for when we can't hang things outside but use these vacuum mounts instead- 4.5″ SeaSucker They hold up to 120lbs and we also use them between our Ollie and TV when the weather is nice enough for outside drying.

When that happens it usually means that you've been blocked from the page.

Yes, I'll post more pics soon once I have all the wiring and switches complete. I made the penetration just underneath the awning bracket directly above the porch light near the door.

Just finished up adding some curbside LED lighting to our Ollie and we're more than happy with the results. To begin this project I painted two 8' sections of 3/8 x 1/2 aluminum C-Channel in white epoxy paint, and then once dry, used 1/2" 3M VXB tape to attach the channel to just below the rain guard weather stripping under the awning. Once that set, I installed 2 IP65 weatherproof LED silicon neon strips into the channel. We decided on one white and one blue but these strips are also available in several other colors if desired. Tried to talk the wife out of blue since I'm afraid it will attract too many insects, but she put her foot down and said she wanted blue and only blue 😄.. I fully expect to be replacing that blue strip with yellow at some point down the road, though. It's a decent friction fit once both strips are installed in the channel but I put a dab of silicon in the channel every couple of feet just for piece of mind. From there I ran the wires down through a new penetration just under the awning bracket above the porch light, sealed it with Dicor and connected them to a SPDT rocker switch. I will most likely be adding a dimmer to the circuit since the lights are much brighter than expected. All in all, very happy and I think it came out better and cleaner looking than the off-the-shelf options I was looking at. These strips emit a nice neon-like glow instead of the individual "dot" look most other LED strips have . Hope this helps anyone else looking to do something similar. I'll add more pics and parts links once I'm happy with the final switch/dimmer setup. C-Channel LED light strip 3M 1/2" VXB tape

Trying to keep everything as original as I can. Luckily just found some cabin lights to replace all of the originals which also had the chrome peeling off of them. Actually, an Oliver FB group member who's a better Googler than I found these for me. Had the part number but could only find them in bronze and black..

The chrome finish is failing on all of my marker lights and I would like to replace with the same if possible to keep from drilling extra holes. Does anyone know who manufactured these lights?

I thought they moved back to 15" tires?
