I don’t want to hijack the OPs thread, but to all of you that’s also using the external Solar suitcase port as a power source, I assume that’s only possible if the charge controller is part of the solar suitcase and not inside the the trailer?

@HDRider …or replace all 4 screws with aluminum plusnuts like these. ……or these should also work well https://www.facebook.com/share/v/QTPdcUrjpg3mfQu2/?mibextid=I6gGtw

Yes looks like they changed the Inverter disconnect switch from an Optifuse breaker to the same cut off switch you have for the solar panels above the steet side bed. Here’s a pic of the Inverter Optifuse breaker on our 2023 LEII

@Gliddenwoods I fixed the orientation of your pictures, and see below for a possible fix to your leak. Pretty sure you have 1/2" pex B piping in your rig, that's what we have in our 2023 LEII. I doubt you have the proper tools to crimp a joint to fix that leak, so the easiest way probably is.... 1) Shut off the water supply 2) Cut your pipe squarely and ensure both end are free of debris 3) Join the 2 end with a push to connect coupling like this You can buy these from Home Depot, Amazon etc. HERE's a link for Home Depot

Nice, if I missed it, how much is Oliver charging you for the install?

Thanks for the link @Cameron, looks like a winner to me, especially the price!

We've had 5 travel trailers, the Ollie is the first with electric awning, I'm not sure what type manual awning the older Ollies have, but I definitely prefer a manual awning with support legs, more rigid in my opinion. But, don't tell my wife, she loves the lectric awning! And as @CRM mentioned, one less piece of electronics/motor to deal with that can go wrong.

😂😂 …. wish I had a manual awning!

Has anyone with an Ollie and electric awning tried this (or similar) awning reinforcement? https://saveawn.com/?fbclid=IwAR2f3ebhrjdGssRpOqtx-2mRkBYKwpYqmuNQPY2jf5_KTw_NFzYttYX8TWA_aem_AQz__Z-7Q8LGD0s_1fXsEvOWhDAIWCzEgS9bttplOpLfif_6IHQJM5eS9lQR2zmQXeI4aApiJmOu0ILaTps1TIkU&mibextid=WC7FNe

Oh my goodness yes, now I see it!😃 For whatever reason when I looked at it earlier today I was thinking it’s a view from the top down!🤪

I see you mounted the Victron CC flat, Victron recommend to install it vertically with the electrical terminals facing downwards. How long have you had it installed flat and any issues? Asking because I’m looking at adding a solar suitcase with Victron 100/30 CC mounted somewhere near the current 100/50 CC and 3000W inverter.

Further to my above post, here’s a thread from the AS forum with good info about VHB tape. https://www.airforums.com/forums/f37/3m-vhb-tape-204288.html …and a Google search revealed VHB tape #5962 is actually best for fibreglass applications. That said, I also remember reading on a AS thread a few years ago where 3M stated VHB tape should be used in conjunction with mechanical fasteners. However, like I said before AM Solar have been using VHB tape, as well a bunch of people in the AS world without issues.

Yes, unless they have changed what they use now in the last 12 months, they have always used 3M VHB 4950. However, 4611 has a higher temperature range and is also commonly used.

AM solar has been using 3M VHB to mount solar panels for many years without issues from what I’ve heard.

Yup, I just assumed he got the "old" 1 1/4 (or is it 1 1/2") receiver with his 2024 Ollie. My mother always said, assumption is the mother of all "f" ups! 😜

No worries, get yourself one of these or similar, much studier than that new Oliver 2' receiver!

Looking good Mike! What heavy duty star board and epoxy did you use here?

Very good choice with Epoch batteries, I mean, if Will Prowse gives it a thumbs up it must be good!😊 HERE’S the Review by Will Prowse

A pity you couldn’t keep the battery slide with the new batteries!

I still have the outside upper vent on my 2023 with the 12V Isotherm fridge, but no more outside upper vent on the 2024s though. My 2023 ..and a 2024

Actually I believe they all extended the end square aluminum tubing as supports.

I don't have a rear cargo carrier/basket, but here are 3 threads that might give you some ideas.

Here's an earlier thread on same topic.

Yes you have to keep turning it until you feel a click. The light however still comes on when the door is opened, even when the fridge is turned “off”.

Good question yes!
