Towing Brake Controllers - Best Aftermarket Models?
rich.dev replied to jd1923's topic in Towing an Oliver
John, I had the Tekonsha P3 Prodigy for about 10 yrs and it worked well for me. -
No, I haven’t really looked much, but this could be a close fit https://a.co/d/1oQhfJi

Amazon, many brands but here’s just one https://a.co/d/1oQhfJi

Jason, I’m not sure about the Overland brand, but there are brands available with integrated day/night shade screens. Yes I have seen people complain about scratching, but you can polish them out. https://youtu.be/N1vh-ETtRgE?si=-CqN8-Kbm2MV50VI Here’s a good video from The Fit RV on why you want dual pane acrylic windows in your RV.

1) This☝️ 2) Yes, depending on the style of the awning window, I prefer the awning style windows where the entire window can be pushed out (see pic) vs just a small section at the bottom awning style, or half of a sliding window (like the Oliver window) Please report back on what style windows Oliver will be switching to.

Window frame is loose on the bottom
rich.dev replied to John and Debbie's topic in General Discussion
I see there’s a bit of a gap between the window frame and inside wall (black arrow), when you have the shade removed check to see if the screws that secure the window frame (red arrow) to the main window are not lose, but pay attention not to over tighten them, they strip easily. -
Awesome job, do you have a part# or link for this switch?

rich.dev replied to John and Debbie's topic in General Discussion
The red arrow is not the window frame, it’s the window shade. Here is an Oliver video that shows how the window shade is removed/secured. -

Hoping for the new owners they will be awning style windows. The sliding windows in our 2023 is probably my biggest pet peeve, and I will seriously consider switching them out!

John, do you have a link or part# for the new fuse that you bought? -
Actually it was upgraded to 150lbs a few years ago.

A/C not visible on Truma CP Plus screen (works w/ remote)
rich.dev replied to T-Oliver's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
This is what mine looks like, we’re not on shore power and inverter on. IMG_1168.mov -
Yah I saw that video, mine is a 2023 and the outside caulking around the windows, Oliver sign and external lights above the windows are still good. Yes my 2023 has the wire/mesh inserts, I was covering the fresh water and AC drain tubes with copper steel wool, so I figured while I’m down there I might as well do the scuppers as well. We did see some moisture/condensation on the inside of the windows, but not much. I thought maybe because the windows are dual pane, ie better insulation, while the inner frame of the windows are metal and in between the hulls so more potential for condensation on them like in my picture, but I can be wrong! Anyway, I did add some butyl tape and silicone around the inner window frames so time will tell. I’m also thinking of spraying some foam type insulation around the inner window frames. Thoughts on that?

rich.dev replied to T-Oliver's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
If you’re not connected to shore power the AC will not show up on the cp plus screen unless you turn the inverter on, with the inverter on it will show the “heater” and “AC” option. -
2" 1UP hitch post doesn't fit 2" Oliver bike receiver 😵
rich.dev replied to GlacierGirl's topic in General Discussion
@GlacierGirl I believe the 2” Oliver receiver was not stock on your 2021 LEII, Oliver switched to the 2” receiver late 2024 models, previous to that it was a 1.25 or 1.5” I think. Do you have an after market receiver? Like @Jason Foster said, maybe post some pictures. -
Sounds like the issue is with customs in the US, did you reach out to them?

Well since you asked 😜, we have experienced what I believe to be inner hull condensation just recently! We are moochdocking in a location where it started raining then snowed, and then temps dropped significantly. The next day we experienced water dripping from below all our windows. I know from reading post on this forum that a roof leak, rear Oliver sign or exterior lights above the windows can let water run down inside the air gap between the inner and outer hulls and appear as a window leak. However, all our windows leaked, and I couldn’t find any leaks on the roof, rear Oliver sign and external lights above the windows, so I’m fairly certain that under the right circumstances (like what we experienced) condensation between the hulls can do the same thing. I removed the inside window trim and noticed small water drops on top of the metal window frame that I suspect was caused by condensation. I have to add that I filled the scupper holes with copper steel wool to deter pests/rodents from gaining entrance. I now wonder if that affected the airflow between hulls causing condensation on the metal window frames?

My how-to video for cleaning the weep holes and tracks
rich.dev replied to Wayfinder's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
John, have you figured out how to remove/install the side window window black tracks with the felt rubbing strips? My windows are the same as yours, I cleaned the rear window but like you and @RoadKingsofGA I couldn't remove the side window black tracks with the felt strips! -
Congrats on the new Outdoors RV, is it the 19MKS? Happy travels, and let us know all the good and bad vs Oliver please!
-
They downsized from a huge class A and boondock pretty much 100%, I guess that’s why the large battery/solar system. I have watched a bunch of videos from MYT solar, he’s really good and does a quality job. Must say, I know it’s personal preference but I think this 19MKS has probably the best layout for such a small travel trailer. Outdoors RV make a really good product, if I knew about it before we bought the Ollie it would’ve been a very strong contender. Love the large kitchen counter top, large tanks, dry bath, hydraulic stabilizers and the 2 la-Z-Boy style seats, just not keen on the slide out and all the wood!

X2.. @Toby look at the creekside 19 MKS titanium!

I have the FITCAMX, it’s nicely integrated into my Silverado’s rear view mirror housing, and plug and play installation with the power wire hidden and connected to the rear view mirror wiring, and hidden inside the mirror housing.
