My stove one is acting exactly like your sink one. My sink one was acting up, but it seems to be fine now. I don't use the other touch lights very much. Thanks for the link. Those seem to be the very thing I was looking for.

Am I the only one having problems with the touch lights?

Thanks. I contacted Oliver via e-mail and got this. The price has went up and the services has went down.

I have two of the touch lights, the one over the stove, and the one over the sink that work sometimes, and don't work most of the time. I want a light with a real switch like the one in the bathroom. I don't want to do anything to the existing light hole. I understand I will need a hole for a switch. Has anyone done this? What light did you use, and where did you get it. Thanks

I plan to take my Ollie to Hohenwald to get the leak fixed, along with a couple of other warranty issues. I do my own maintenance, but I thought while I had her there I'd let the experts go through it. This thing cost a lot of money, and I want my grandkids to use it some day.

I had used their "Contact Us" page. I have not got a response. They rarely answer the phone.

Can someone talk to me about the maintenance provided by the mothership at Hohenwald? What all do they do? Has anyone documented a detailed list of their service? I could not find anything on their website. Thanks

I have come to the conclusion it leaks when the pump runs. Not sure where. I have looked everywhere but under bathroom sink. Not sure why the pump cycled like it did. It has not recycled since I only filled to about 90%. Now it only runs when we use water. Maybe it went into some kind of vacuum spasm when I use the overflow outlet..

I will fill to overflow and see if any new clues show themselves. I guess I'll be taking the trailer to Hohenwald when we get home.

That must be a standard now. Oliver had me take the wood cover off under the kitchen sink. I checked and it was not wet.

We have been on the fresh water tank all day yesterday and all night. It is 7 AM local time Saturday. I filled the tank to 90% and hit the road yesterday morning. We were on FW tank all day Thursday and Friday. We have been on the FW tank now for 3 days. Pump is normal. No leak.

That makes sense.

There are 8 weep holes, two at each corner of the trailer. They have a little stainless steel covers over them. The weep holes are separate and apart from the freshwater over flow. The pump cycling only happens in conjunction with the weep hole leak.

@Mike and Carol Thanks What you are saying is helping! I am really thinking there is a leak at a fitting. The big fat open question now is: Why is it not leaking now when I did not fill to overflowing?

Question - If the freshwater tank is full to the top how does air come in as water is pumped out? Put another way - How does a vacuum not form in the freshwater tank?

The 80% thing has me scratching my head. Thought - Is it possible for the freshwater overflow to spill water in the hull? Then it would leak out. Saying that - Why would the leak continue on for so long and so steady? More head scratching.... When you say "only when pressurized", what does that mean?

There is an overflow as described in the Owners Manual. TO FILL THE FRESHWATER TANK FROM PRESSURIZED WATER: 1. Remove the cap from the freshwater inlet. 2. Attach a freshwater hose to an outside water source. 3. Attach the other end to the Oliver freshwater inlet. 4. Turn on the water source; fill until water starts to run from the freshwater overflow, which is located on the opposite side, between the aluminum steps and the refrigerator vent. 5. When the tank is filled, turn off and disconnect the outside water hose and re-install the water cap. The weep hole leak comes later. You have confused the weep holes and the freshwater overflow.

Also, The leak is not isolated to any one set of weep holes. It always leaked out of what was the lowest corner at the time.

Or, the mystery of the leaking weep holes. I hope someone here can help me understand what is going with the leaks from the weep holes. I will state what I know as fact. Some of what I say will be conclusions I have come to based on evidence and experimentation. We took off June 1st. I noticed the weep holes leaking the morning of our first overnight stay. It was leaking pretty good from the weep holes in front of the steps. It is not a stream. It is a drip, drip, drip kind of thing. I have looked everywhere except under the bathroom sink. No water anywhere. Clue #1. It only leaks when the fresh water tank has water in it. Fact Clue #2. The water pump kicks on about every 30 to 40 minutes when the fresh water tank has water in it. Clue #3. I am pretty sure the leak stops if I turn the pump off. I have done this a couple of times, and I am pretty sure this is true. There are no leaks around the pump. I have checked multiple times. I have been working with Oliver. We think a fitting has come loose. But, Mike asked me if we filled the fresh water tank until it overflowed. We do. So, Yesterday I filled it to 80%. No leak this morning and the pump did not kick on while there was no water use.

We have 6 hours of alone time on 101 this Thursday

That is planned for today. We got here about 3 yesterday and that placed was packed. The drive was great. Not too much traffic and some stunning views. We are staying at Cape Lookout.

Hello to the Ollie on 101 heading north. It was about noon yesterday and we were about 20 north of Astoria, OR. I flashed my lights.

Welcome to the family. I hope you enjoy your Ollie as much as we do. I had the same question as JD.

Quick question, hoping for a quick answer. Is driving south on 101 from Westport, WA (or parts thereabout) to Cape Lookout, OR (on the coast, west of Portland) a bad idea? Is the road OK for pulling Ollie? Anything I should know? Thanks

Someone with some talent could Ollie this up
