  1. Just for Giggles , do you have another water pump and accumulator you could switch onto the system. I have a water issue in one of my campers, changed out both of them and situation seemed to be resolved. Farthest sinks from pump were low pressure. The pump was just weak? I have even had new ones weak off the get go.
  2. Looks great. Excellent Job! Do you know of the amount of watts its drawing? It has to add a little more current draw to the system?
  3. I purchased also the Orion dc to dc charger 30 amp , but I charge from a spare power station I have. Victron has new DC to DC charger 50 amp that is scheduled to be released in us next month. Its 98 percent efficient compared to existing 82 percent. Lower temperature from high efficiency. I preordered it, of course they improve it. It also will tie into my victron components . Great Job on your install.
  4. https://www.batterycablesusa.com/ If your not as patient as me in making cables. Battery cables usa is a wonderful resource. Im redoing my electrical in oliver with a vicrtron lynx distributor. Check out this great manufacturer at fair prices and USA made. Very High quality. Agree totally!
  5. Another winter project with help of good friend with "SKILLS" in welding aluminum. Added Bumper box. Thanks to all who contributed on the subjet. I did get endcaps put on and license plate bracket . Before picture. Picture was taken . Will update with better pictures later when snow clears.
  6. Just Finishing My install of Nova Cool. Wow what a workout. Thanks for all of input. My biggest issues is getting it leveled in existing hole. 2.5 months of hitting it on the weekends. Thanks to all who have contributed. I closed off all my holes and purchased table on bottom hole. I know how John D. felt after installation couple times. Here are couple quick shots. Fridge door came damaged from nova Kool, box was unharmed. But door tore up on bottom. Definately a workout. Tore up old fridge to get out and put back together if anyone one needs old 3 way fridge . Give me a jingle. Used one season. Thanks for everyones input.
  7. @2500 watts and 12 volts Your amperage would be around 210 amps most I ever plan to use. Keeping the length of cable down is critical. Keeping cables under 10 ft should be o..k.k. for 2/0 according to many of charts I have looked at. Critical to have good fuse. Thats what protects your wiring.
  8. I believe stock was 1/0 they were smaller and I had a bunch of 2/0 left over from my last installation on my lance. I had ton of 2/0 used on my Lance install. Thanks
  9. Used 2/0. Changed out stock cables. Want to change out stock fuse later down the road also. Just need the time.
  10. My Victron worked excellent this summer. Im not retired but still spent 35 days this summer in my camper. I love power assist. Ran batteries Dead only 5 times on trips. I only have deployable solar panels. Im expermenting with a pecron and victron dc to dc charger. It has 4700 wh on it. I Trickled charged my Battle borns with 130 watts. Im currently putting in DC fridge. Thanks to everyone in the forum also adding the table on outside that is included on newer models. Thats my winter projects. I am overwhelmed at work and have not logged into forums in while. Multiplus is working well. Powers my a/c for about 5 hours. Have original penguin II. Expermenting with new flat solar panels from Bouge RV going to mount on top of oliver. 2021 Oliver Elite II. Only issue I have seen is when the victron is running hard its fans vibrate or radiate through the olivers fiberglass walls under my bed. Hottest it has been in cavity with Victron is 94 degrees , we had a mild summer in Montana. Did not get overly hot, like last year of 104 for 4 to 6 weeks. Weather has been all over the board up here. With the victron i set it to pull1200 wattes from my house plugs and can run a/c plugged into my normal outlet at house or anywhere. THe a/c will pull around 1450 watts , it just pulls extra wattage from battery bank and recharges them between cycling of the a/c . Take care My rig did not come with solar. Going to try flat panel on top. Little scared about heat impact on fiberglass, have used flat panels in past get extemely hot underneath. (PS white spots are reflections on my lights in my shop) Merry Christmas.
  11. I have 2021 Elite II, Did not have any issues when predrilling? I believe there was a inner layer that I drilled through. Did not notice that it was fiberglass, That is a little concerning. I want to check the screws now. Which screws did you notice it on?
  12. I ordered motorized valve for fresh train. Looks awesome. Thanks for input. We will have to see. Six back surgeries do not oblige to lifting darn bed everytime want to change the valve config. Do lots of boondocking will have to see on water situation and grey black. Already ran out of room on black last trip!. Thanks everyone.
  13. Easy modification for Ollie. Could have factoring issues when pulling water for boondocking but modifiable. Quieted pump down, uses less watts. Like ez start for water pump. Very customizable. Has leak detector. Customizable in many situations. Pump shuts off after running over 1 minute, then have to turn pump on and off again. Dip Switch 6 can disable on system. Has pressure and runtime sensors. Uses less electricity due to soft start and less startup of pump. Decided to replace and add when the unit I purchased was not winterized and had to replace pump anyway.
  14. Multiplus II on Ollie with Cerbo GX Victron screen , Orion 12volt to 12 volt charger, 130/30 mppt victron solar charger. Pecron 500Amps of DC power charging 4 x Battleborn in ollie ii Tank Sensors (Mopeka bluetooth to victron Cerbo GX) Few pictures on 2nd camping trip. 5 days no sun needed running furnace all night. 45 in Hills of Montana. Kept batteries 100 percent. 80s day. rained 3 day of 5. will grab pictures of install under curbside for later post
  15. Has anyone though about a deck plate access cover for valves? Having to lift our heavy bed every time since we have a large mattress seems like a great idea? Has anyone installed? 2021 Elite 2. Anyone know what brands oliver is carrying? Thanks
  16. Mark, predrill then screw in sheet metal screws.
  17. Amazon best buy now. Lippert has the same 43.95. I purchased on sale free shipping 32.95
  18. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08R7VF5FX/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1
  19. Compared lippert and amazon, Lippert had a sale and was cheaper, even with shipping @ time. I love the friction hinges not sure on the longevity though.
  20. Added simple magnetic door open holder. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N63U2UZ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
  21. Added friction hinges on doors added over the weekend. Predrilled holes and simply added 2nd hinge set - along with Handle. Yes there is a door holder on back side but have had kids around yank them off in past. (Little weary of someone not being careful)
  22. I have 16 screws and titanium rods in my back. Blew 5 disks. Any kind of stress relief to take the bounce out of walking helps. I do lay down and do strengthening excercises on my back. Just a little mod to help me out. Thanks
  23. Was told there should be camera wires to rear of 2021 Oliver Elite II . Could not quite find yet. Added Camera and was extremely reluctant to drill into top so I ran wire behind rear Oliver sign. Used 3M double sided tape. Will definitely have to keep Eye on its security, make sure it will not loosen over time. Anyone have any suspicion of where the wires may be read other topics saying they were in the corners , will keep looking ran out of time.
  24. Added some Interlocking floor matts from pieces I had laying around (Pieced down to the last drop of them). Does not look too pleasing to the eye but my rugs do cover most of them and they do feel comfy on my back. Having back issues I am always looking for any relief I can get and they keep you warm those colder days. Had in my last camper and love them. Only negativies could be cleaning around them and possible water under them that could cause issues. We do not wear our shoes inside.
