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.

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

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)

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

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.

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.

Thanks for your concerns John, No I do not have a electrical certification but have a electrical background, and I am working with a good friend who is a electrician. There is proper clearance on front and back , but time will tell with the heat , I have Govee thermostats that will monitor the space and alert me if its over 95 degrees. Your right we may have to put more ventilation and fans to blow out into garage as necessary. I would like to find room for a small mini split that I installed in my last trailer It was a 12 volt mini split. It was not efficient enough, It was a experiment and I would go with a 120 volt next time. It kept campers one room comfortable 75 degrees below 92 degrees outside. I am looking at upgrading the a/c this winter, have been looking for the best route to go with a heat pump. Yes heat could be a issue. time will tell. That is not a recommended mounting (have looked at many other forums they mounted horizontal with no issues) I did mount my other unit that way and the fan ran full blast when charging the batteries, but never overheated in higher temps. I could program the victron to charge at a slower rate and it was not a issue. I will definately keep eye on temps. 4 years of running my old unit never had a issue in same enclosed space, this unit is only charging 4 batteries and the other unit I had was charging six battleborns. I could run my ac approximately 6.5 hours stopping and starting every 7 to 10 minutes in 100 degree temps. The cover on the bottom and top can be removed for service also. I agree with you on there batteries, thats why I went with battleborn. I trust the BMS in the system. There are smaller, more compact manageable Lithium Lifepo4 batteries out there Lion energy and even batteries that are half the price out there. The BMS is the proof in the pudding , I put my full trust in there technology of BattleBorn . I have 3 x friends with the same Victron system and love it. Warranty is not a concern. I am not retired quite yet another 5 years , we camp from 30 to 45 days a year and that is pushing my time off already. Before I know it the system will be out of warranty. Yes safety should be my primary concern , mounting it that was is unfortunately only option in a oliver, cannot find another proper location that is high enough. This is a learning process , I am learning the oliver Elite II ins and outs and appreciate all of you for posts. Thanks for all your input. Time will tell. Here is a picture of my older first try system. Yes its messy. Definetely could open a can of worms here!

Replacing xantrax on my Oliver Elite II 2021. Can't beat power assist on Victron components (Uses battery to meet power requirements when specificed amount of current is set) I have had Victron Multiplus in my old camper and I am crying for the first time , I hate drilling into this beautiful Elite but can't get wires from upper cabinet to lower components without drilling. Going to install Victron MPPT - 100 /30 for outside solar panels 400 watts of ground deployed solar panels Victron Orion 12 volt to 12 Volt charger for vehicle charging and for a Pecron 500 amp hour battery I have under the bed. Victron Smartshunt for monitoring batteries Victron Cerbo GX for the brains of the operation all components plug into and are monitored by this device. Victron small touch screen Built wood support for Multiplus much heavier than xantrax probably double. (I did not lift or look at weights but had a friend put in place) (6 back surgeries lifting days are over) Here are some pictures Had one heck of time getting hole centered perfect to drill. Went as far as I could in corner of cabinet . . . . . .Little scary but turned out ok. Going to work on Battery box holes at same time and maybe add ventilation for batteries at same time. Thanks to everyone for posting information on ventilation Take care Montana Oliver

Thanks so much will give it a shot~ Pictures and mods to come.

Thanks John , I have a Elite II year 2021. I have taken out the xantrex controller and in the process of installing a victron LCD display , I have installed 4 x battleborn batteries, victron shunt, Victron Multiplus II 3000 and removed existing xantrex 2000 freedom, 6volt gel cells. The food cabinets has a access panel on upper right and cannot get from that cabinet to lower cabinet/battery box. The victron has a hdmi cable end that will go to the cerbo gx / "Brains of Victrons components , has wireless bluetooth and monitors whole system. i could go down the inside of the pantry cabinet and drill through but not sure what I may run into? Thanks!!!!!!!!!! Ill grab some pictures when I can.

I am a newbie with the Ollie but have done tons of modifications already. I am changing the Xantrex to a Victron 3000 Multiplus II Anyone know how to get from uppper cabinets to underneath by the inverter? I have tried following the path for the Xantrex display, but the cable will not budge. RJ telephone plug. Thanks
