Happy 4th of July to Everyone! Gunnison NF, Colorado -- dispersed camping with weather

I almost volunteered in that territory last summer, at Grand Portage National Monument. Almost... Once the park staff suggested "impenetrable clothing" to ward off the attack of mosquitoes, I decided to head elsewhere. That said, I have been to Duluth and along portions of Lake Superior and north of Ely in the Winter and it's spectacular. If you are near Duluth and enjoy birdwatching, there are numerous places to go, including: Hawk Ridge https://www.hawkridge.org/ Sax-Zim Bog https://saxzim.org/ Near Ely there is Voyageur Outward Bound School and they have sled dogs (you can see and hear them from the road, but they don't allow you to pet them.) Enjoy!

@Townesw thanks for including a photo. How do you access below the bathroom sink? I see 4 small caps on the inset shelf -- do those pry off? I'm afraid of breaking tabs on plastic elements, so I haven't tried anything stiffer than my fingernail (and no luck).

Last year, I found that the toggle switch on my lithium battery blanket was faulty — it would easily trip to “ON” with the slightest bump — meaning any road vibration could trip to ON position. It didn’t seem to trip to the OFF position . I asked OTT to service, when I passed through at the end of my trip last fall.

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!
