The clamps were holding glue while it dried. Did not understand your question. Clamps are off. shower door is ridgid and glued with piece that could be removed if needed. Silicon caulking and thin layer silicon glue.
-
Its sealed pretty well with glue inner layer and silicon outer layer. The flexing always scared me with the mirror in it. Love newer design on new models.Sorry about bad luck on yours. Thats terrible.
-
I was tired of the Shower door flexing and decided to try little upgrade.
Cut out door from 4 x 8 FRP plastic sheeting. Picked up damaged piece from Lowes and cut out. It has made the door more ridgid and solid.
Used Cauling on edges and glue on innter. Was afraid to drill anything. Seems very solid for now.
Only issues are my skills are lacking on cutting and saw did get away from me on the bottom not quite a perfect line.
Love how the new doors are a solid piece on newer models of olivers.

I experienced dropouts on my first install. Measured resistance across cheap fuses in system and found they had high resistance causing heat and cutout also. Awesome install! Run my a/c last week on batteries, working well. 85 degrees out and can get through complete day on my 400 ah battleborn batteries and my victron. Great work!

I am using this setup to charge my 4 x Battleborn batteries. The Main unit is under my bed and 2 x 2000 watt are under the garage. I drilled hole so they sit perfectly in dead corner of the garage. and main unit sits under my bed. Ill have to crawl and get pictures. FYI you could charge your main batteries with your goal zero. With 97 percent efficiency on the new dc to dc charger you will not lose much !

Beutiful Install, Im Jealous you have double the power with my Battleborns. I love the Victron in last two rigs I had , power assist makes all difference in world, I never blow a basic breaker on anywhere I plug into. The only issues I did notice is the victron when charging or running and getting hot vibrates and is noisy against the wall. I placed a piece of bubble foil behind the victron on my install for sound dampening and should have painted the surface with Lizard skin or some sound dampening material.
How noisy is your unit when running?
Just curious Thanks Ty
I have ordered the new victron 12v to 12volt charger to charge my Battleborn batteries as the efficiency is 95 percent or more on the unit. I am going to charge those
batteries with a Pecron all in one unit with two 300 packs attached. I like your install with bigger batteries and watch a lot of Will Prowse videos also.
GREAT JOB!!!!!!!!

I my xantrex had dc charger built in. I rewired my total dc side though did not like wiring from factory. You should be able to remove the dc xantrex charger. Yours is different layout would have to follow your wires. Never touched ac side at all except hooked up proper breaker to proper spot. AC on fridge and ac on air conditioning were wired backwards from factory. Found that out when tried running AC off my batteries alone. Rewired dc side with victron shunt and lynx distribution on fender well. Very tight

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.

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?

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.

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!

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.

@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.

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

Used 2/0. Changed out stock cables. Want to change out stock fuse later down the road also. Just need the time.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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

My Nova Kool has been working great have not turned off since april. First season. Only issues I have is that the door shelve braces seem flimsy. I shoe gooed the door shelf braces. Not they dont pop off. FYI. - Two cents for what its worth. GREAT JOB!
