  1. Nice! It got jammed up pretty quickly! Thanks for the ideas and the pics πŸ™‚
  2. In case this happens to anyone else this is what Mike at Oliver reported: It sounds like the that boondocking port may me air locked. You could clear this with a hand pump or with pressurized water by hooking to the boon docking inlet and turning the valves to the boondocking configuration but do not run the pump.
  3. I was bringing water in from a water canister outside the trailer using the boondocking mode - which has worked great for us thus far. This time I forgot that I'd left the water pump on as I changed the valves into boondocking mode. The sudden whoosh of water rattled me and I turned the rightmost valve to the normal position for a short period of time - and then turned it to the boondocking position again. The boondocking mode seemed to work for a while and then stopped. When I returned the valves to normal mode we couldn't get any water out of the faucets either. I saw another post by John Davies regarding an air lock. II closed the valve going to the faucets (the rightmost valve) and opened the valve going to the tank (next furthermost right valve) and ran it for a couple of minutes, then 5 minutes and then 10 minutes. Each time the faucet flows were restored but the boondocking is not working. ????
  4. The first is on the list πŸ™‚and I will look for the SL mods - Thanks!
  5. Thanks! Going into the trailer body is what I need. πŸ™‚
  6. Thanks! Can you say where in the below picture I should connect if I ever try this?
  7. Our 2019 Elite Legacy II trailer - which we bought used - is probably pretty unique - it has just about everything anyone could want - but no inverter. After hooking up Starlink the lithium batteries in the van died. I revived them with the car battery and ramped down the energy usage and the batteries appear to be restored. My question is would it have been or is it possible to attach the Bestek 400-watt inverter to one of the batteries in the battery pack of the Oliver and get some energy out of it while the lithium batteries in the van were being restored (by the solar panels) ?
  8. Right - yep - a shunt is going to be part of the lithium upgrade. Thanks for the reminder.
  9. Not using furnace or stove... We have 20 gal I think. Let's hope the sensor is wrong. It might be - I just added the Mopeka sensors which don't appear to work when we're on a slope - they've read 15-18% and 100% - quite a bit of variation there! I'm taking the tank in to get it filled and will see where it's at and will report back πŸ™‚
  10. Thanks for the reminder - there is the charge the batteries on the road option. I plan to do what when we switch to lithium. Unfortunately we had a battery disaster and got a new set of lead acid about six months but the time is coming πŸ™‚
  11. Good to hear - Driving down to Phoenix from Vegas tomorrow - will give it a shot on DC πŸ™‚I'll report on that. I Hadn't thought about adding a solar panel to roof but it does look like there's room for at least one more in front....hmmm
  12. Thanks! That is really something πŸ™‚
  13. Nice idea to switch to DC when breaking camp and turning off the LP. I know you're not supposed to run the fridge on propane when travelling but having it on DC seems like an option -but wow - what a drawdown on the battery at night. Again, I wonder if upgrading to lithium might help? Also - I have Bluetti power station with portable panels. Is there a way to have the power from those panels flow directly to the house battery?
