What makes it a 2fer?

UPDATE: Thanks to all who have offered tips, tricks, ideas and advice. I have ordered most of the equipment to finally assess the wiring. It's extremely hot in Texas -- so hot that the Parks are closing trails. I plan to continue this work of investigating and hopefully fixing when I get to New Mexico, where I will be at higher elevation (cooler) and in one place for a while.

Also across northern Texas, Oklahoma and environs this morning. I'm hitched, but stalling my departure until it passes. On my first night in my Oliver, I was planning to camp in a very nice park in Tennessee -- but on advice of Rodney Lomax, I stayed the night at the Oliver factory campground where there were a lot fewer trees to come down, and hitched the Oliver to my truck to help stabilize it. It was a real blow and a good lesson.

I have very sketchy memory of a time when I couldn't figure out a similar issue (but I had not drained my batteries)... the solution in my case was to reset the GFI protected outlet that (on my Elite2) is located on the face of the forward dinette bench seat.

and a pit toilet at Horse Creek cg.

So they are roughly $5 each, and my shipping was $18. Thanks for the confirmation. Shipping is outrageous.

Last year I visited Horse Creek Campground in Wyoming. If you are really adventurous you can continue north all the way to Double Cabin Campground. It's beautiful there, but I didn't tow my Oliver that far; it's a long rough road.

After seeing this post, I requested these in May. I was charged $38.12 for 4 of them. They shipped in a small 6x8 inch padded envelope, UPS Ground (UPS estimates $15 if shipped next day deliver) so maybe the price has really inflated.

I have WiFi! But I am taking the evening off from the internet. I’m going to curl up with a good book and watch the Purple Martins and Scissor-tailed Flycatchers do their magic.

Those two were LOOSE when the “last” diesel auto mechanic opened that access panel. He tightened them. And he taped the wires underneath, near the hole in the axle. And he connected the ground wire on one of the truck batteries (all mentioned in my original post). The issue resolved for 3 days. Then driving over aged highway macadam and it started again. My brother mentioned the potential for the slightest bit of low voltage to mess with computer components in the truck. Today I reopened the vanity access panel, looked around, took photos, buttoned it up again. Didn’t change anything. Noticed there are actually two junction boxes in there, street side one much harder to access; I opened the curbside junction box. Those two black ground wires still looked tight. Tomorrow morning I move to new location (more rural). Confidence level is low. Two mechanics looked at the ground bus bar under the dinette, after I pointed out where it is located, but I don’t know if anyone was certain about which wires on it were/are associated with the 7-pin cable and/or the brake wiring. And I shared the wiring diagrams (such as they are) in the manual. One tested the individual elements of the 7 pin head (trailer side) and said he didn’t think the issue was there, it was functioning. Will do this in Cimarron, where my friend can help me.

Well…. My Oliver and TV played well together for 3 1/2 years before this issue started. But I will keep this in mind. Thanks @ScottyGS for the additional input.

OTT told me the junction box was located here. Are you saying that this is not correct? Is there a second junction box not visible in this photo? (Reminder: I am checking in only periodically from my phone, as I don’t have WiFi in camp.)

And indeed — though I specifically requested confirmation of 7 pin they only have 4 pin and wiring seems to include no brakes. Of course they sell an adapter, but I don’t think this will tell me anything. I’m on hold…

Thank you very much! On my way to UHaul place. Update: I called before driving. Oh well… No trailers available today, but reserved for tomorrow. I think I’ll take a walk. Lake Catherine SP is gorgeous.

Do you think this is the right one? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008DREZYE/ref=sw_img_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1
