How long have they had the Ogo?
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).

The fan is faulty, so I am ordering replacement.
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.

We converted ours earlier this year
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?-

Next project
Adapting the Starlink to run off 12 volt…
I am wondering -- have you moved forward with your project to provide 12 volt for Starlink?

We plan to convert our Starlink to 12v DC power, and to flat mount the dish on our tow vehicle. We'll park the TV close enough to the trailer for the WiFi to connect. No setup required except parking the TV where it has a clear view of the sky. We haven't yet done this conversion, but we'll post again when there's something to report.
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.

If you're so DIY inclined, I recommend removing the 2 star-head screws holding the bottom of the burner assembly in place, slide the burner assembly out
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?

Did you pull the fan and check for corrosion or loose contacts?
Yes I did.

If you have a meter, you can check to see if the fan is getting power. You'll be touching the power plug with the meter leads, so be careful not to short out or you will blow the fuse (assuming it's not already blown).
If it is getting power, then the fan probably needs replacing. We had this happen to ours early on in the toilet's life. Nature's Head responded very quickly with two fans (no charge, and I did not ask them for a spare). I replaced it and have not had a problem since. Now I have a spare, and will order another if it ever gets installed.
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.

John, you might be interested to know that Oliver is still installing 1 amp fuses for the fan, and they're still blowing. Our toilet wasn't working optimally, and fortunately I remembered your post and checked the fuse. Works well now.
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.

If you are coming to the Rally
Sadly, I won't be at the Rally this year. But I'll watch here on the forum for threads to this.
Happily, I'm already on the road -- enjoying the glorious wildflowers of Texas!

In my 2022 there are no light switches. The 'touch lights' are all tap on/off, and the 'reading lights' are turned on/off by pressing into the lens. I'm following this thread because a couple of my touch lights are flickering at this point.

Thanks to Oliver for the reward -- mine was well spent. I think I have $11 left on it, and I'll use it this week.

And I'll double check the detector.
When you say "detector" are you referring to the CO/Propane Alarm? Or to a Gas Detector (a measuring tool that you brought, doesn't come with the Oliver)? Like this: https://www.amazon.com/Natural-Detector-Portable-Combustible-Explosive/dp/B07FSVCSSL

The only thing I would add that really helped me out is one of those small mirrors on a stick that you can use to see better at the zerks that are sandwiched. You'll know what I mean once you get to the job. I found one of those mirrors for $1 at the "discount" basket at a feed n seed store last summer.

what they used (there in the pre-delivery bay) dried very yellow and to this day, stands out like a sore thumb on our pristine white Oliver.
My Oliver suffers the same mysterious yellowing only around the rear window. I'm going to have to read through this thread several times to begin to understand some of the issues discussed. Thanks to all contributors.

I visited the park in 2018, but was not equipped to camp that time. I hope to visit again -- and I'm also interested in the conditions you found. It's lovely scenery!

Today my ARES team met up at a local park to test ourselves with some basic activities. I'm pleased as punch that my *new* home-brew (home-made) 9:1 UNUN Antenna -- AKA "a wire hung in the trees", as one of the team members called it -- performed beautifully. Within minutes I was speaking with operators in Hungary, Lithuania, Russia and Ireland (they were busy contesting on 10 meters). (I will add a couple of photos, once the photo upload issue is resolved.) I love this hobby!
EDIT: With help from my friend and mentor, this project was built, tried and tested in a single afternoon. Two days later I had it strung up in a local park and I was talking to hams around the world. I highly recommend amateur radio to anyone who is interested in fun science projects. 73

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.
