some of my best memories in Wyoming involve hoppers in September

I recently spent 12 days boondocking in the Kaibab NF, near Marble Canyon, overlooking the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. FS 611 (Forest Service Road) is a combination of washboard, loose rock over sand, and some pits, but slow and steady got me there — about 5 miles up FS611 there are a few dispersed camping sites that are spectacular.

About this fit should be answered in the next few days via General Delivery!

Thanks for sharing! So far, I’ve been keeping everything except the dish in a waterproof box that sits on my “sofa” near the curbside window. I plug into the overhead outlet, and pass the dish through the curbside window, gently closing the screen and shades… (I have the Twin Bed Oliver E2 with one mattress and one side serving as a sofa/guest bed). I’ve found it fairly convenient, and only use about half the cord to the dish. One day I plan to upgrade my system.

How hard was that conversion?

Thanks for this — I have a similar adapter, bought before I picked up my Oliver. As I look, this (new to me) generator is similar to your description. The friend who gave it to me also gave me a small adapter (I will attach photos if possible). That friend had to depart, sadly, for medical care. So far, I haven’t run down my lithium batteries to the point where I need to use the generator (after doing so once, and then waiting a couple of days for them to rejuice with the sun). But I am not using much, hardly using the microwave and never using the AC… as it gets hotter, my frugality might be confronted by my desire for some comfort.

Thank you! I was worried, because I found online other “grounding plugs” that were the 30 amp style/size.

Thank you — I ordered it, and I am guessing it won’t come with instructions. This looks like a standard plug. I thought it would be a plug that would accept my Oliver’s 30amp plug. I guess I am going to have to trust YouTube videos to try to understand what this does to change the behavior of my OTT — if and when I trust the information and try to use this generator to boost my lithium batteries. I did find this article useful: https://support.olivertraveltrailers.com/portal/en/kb/articles/power-management I still need more information though, to understand what it requires.

Much later … I have been reading various posts about this “neutral grounding plug” “neutral bonding plug” and have tried without success to access the Amazon products linked in several posts. The product links are outdated (I guess) and one leads to a Xantrex Remote Control. Can someone please give me a more specific description of the plug, and where it’s supposed to be inserted? I was expecting to find mention in an OTT video or OTT knowledge base article, but so far I’ve failed to find it or specific information on changes (if necessary) to my Xantrex settings, so I can recharge my lithium batteries with a Pulsar Inverter Generator 2000i (a gift to me, so it’s all new territory). Thanks for any assistance here.

Thanks to the original poster for this question. I'm not there yet, but hope to eventually follow suit for my ham radio. I haven't done anything to alter my Ollie, yet. Slow and steady, slow and steady.

I'm not sure, but I think more than a year. They have been full-timers (with SOB trailer) for 2 or 3 years -- not only full-timers but nearly full-time Boondockers. They note that boondocking is difficult in the eastern US. Their preference for this composting toilet seems to stem from a) ease of emptying (so much easier - don't have to deconstruct the unit or move large parts around) and b) better results for her, when using (the separation of liquids and solids is easier during use).

Quick Update: my replacement Nature's Head fan arrived, via General Delivery. They sent me TWO (no charge) so now I have a spare. All good.

I’ve watched a few YouTube videos about conversion. I am not inclined to try to take apart the unit, but I have heard examples of people using 3rd party routers and boosters, to make the switch. Where did you mount your router, wiring and how did you exit the OTT to reach your unit?

I am wondering -- have you moved forward with your project to provide 12 volt for Starlink?

I'm wondering if you have done this yet? I'm considering Starlink and there are 2 boondockers with me who are both running Starlink. At least one of them has switched to 12v (he has switched nearly everything in his rig to 12v, smartly). It does seem surprising that Starlink still doesn't offer 12v options for their Roam package -- especially since they are charging more for it, and the cost to offer the option would seem to be fairly small.

Is it at all possible to feel the faulty nut with fingers, or to see it with a small mirror, without uninstalling parts? Can we create a pinned list of known faulty SN units here on the forum?

So, after much searching in the Forum, I found a LINK to the Submit Activity page -- but I will say it's confusing that those buttons are missing from my account page. I will try to submit new activity and see if it works. Here is the link I found from an earlier post: And/or: https://olivertraveltrailers.com/rewards-program/submit-activity/ [about 15 minutes later]... it's not working. I was able to fill out the form, but it doesn't seem to want to process after I click "submit". Now this could be related to my connection, but I don't think so. The link to the form successfully pre-loaded my account info (name etc) and I was able to fill out the rest of the form and click through the next parts. It just won't process the submit. I reached out to OTT; didn't realize I was submitting a ticket. I will post back here as things progress.

I just logged in (as an active member) and I can't find the "Submit New Activity" button. Has the program been discontinued? Here are the buttons I see: MANAGE REWARDS CARD MY REWARDS ACTIVITIES EDIT MY ACCOUNT DETAILS LOGOUT

Yes I did.

My friends here checked and there was power. The fan is faulty, so I am ordering replacement. While discussing the Nature's Head toilet, this gentleman told me about their own experiences and showed me the toilet he installed as a replacement. They are full-timers and it seems that they are also nearly full-time boondockers. They use an OGO Origin. https://ogotoilet.com/products/products-ogo-composting-toilet Thanks to all for your help.

Beautiful!

Thank you Rodney, and the entire Service Team for your outstanding dedication and excellent customer care.

So, I arrived at a boondocking site this afternoon, set up, and discovered that my Nature’s Head fan isn’t working. I took it apart, cleaned the filter, but the fan doesn’t run. I read the OTT manual (primarily it focuses on installation, and notes how different configurations will require different electrical connections or elements). I cannot figure out where a fuse is located. (I am typing this on my phone; if I can, I will add a photo of the parts I have in hand, but I don’t think iPhone images play nice for uploading). The wire that plugs into the fan is strapped along the flexible vent pipe, and comes out from behind the sink — between the hulls I guess — I looked at the fuse panel underneath the dinette and didn’t see anything noted for the NH. I don’t see anything that looks like a fuse. *** I have a 2022 Oliver E2*** *** EDIT: Now I see John’s bump post with diagram showing fuse location. I will check it in the morning, and update as I see what it looks like. Can anyone point me to the fuse (if there is one)? *** Do you think I need to replace the entire fan unit itself? I wonder if it is a problem in the wire that disappears under the sink. I sure hope not; I’m boondocking out in Utah, and if I need “service” I will be thinking about last summer. I will be ordering spare parts, per John’s post suggestion, tomorrow, even if this issue is just the fuse. Suggestions are appreciated. ** I will add photos if I can, after I post **

.... and on gravel, as I experienced 2 days ago!

I use a finger to tap it, but I'll definitely check them for dust and the spring alignment -- thanks!!
