I know you guys are excited. We took possession of 1423 in August 2023. We truly love our Oliver. I keep our interstate travel to a minimum. Doing that, I consider 400 miles a day so covering long distances can take some time. I second Land Between the Lakes. That was our first stop after leaving Hohenwald. Nice park. Arkansas state parks are very well kept. We have stayed at many of them. We lived in the Smokies before we started camping. It is a pretty area. We had many day trips and the hiking is wonderful. You are going to love wherever you are when you are in your Oliver

I guess that explains why I can't find them in the manuals. I thought the Ollie had tank heaters

Can someone tell me where the 12v tank heaters are discussed in the manuals? I can't find it. Thanks

Just to add, the draw of the inverter is not the concern, but more so the other things you might leave on like the AC, that would draw your battery down. I can see both sides now that I understand the inverter better. Thanks all.

I could not find a pic in the manual, but that vid did the trick. It is easy now that I know how that spring lies. Thanks

Can someone please post a functioning fridge light? My bulb popped out and I cannot get that spring back in correctly. Thanks

I also wanted to share something else. Oliver does recommend turning the inverter off when connected to shore power. They say that for a very practical reason. If your inverter is on, and you lose shower power your batteries might be depleted without you knowing it is happening. I do hope others continue to share their knowledge of the inverter and also that other's feel free to ask questions about the mysteries of the inverter. Thanks everyone for your usual helpfulness. Long Live Oliver!

I wanted to share this.

I just got my inverter replaced by a non-Oliver shop. I am sifting through things to bring it back to "as it was" from the factory. I read that if the button on the inverter is on then the button on the panel serves no purpose. Does anyone know if this is true?

The inverter really has two on/off buttons. One on the inverter and one on the remote panel. Am I correct to say that the button on the inverter box should be out (off) and the button on the panel should be in (on) when I want to run the inverter?

Yes, my 2023 E II has Victron.

Does it do this if the inverter is turned off?

I am trying to understand the purpose, functions and operation of my inverter. I am going to go real slow and try to build up a better understanding with your help. This is all Greek to me, and know nothing. First Statement - The inverter/charger converts DC power from the battery to AC power for trailer use. Second Statement - The inverter/charger charges the battery from either shore power or solar panel power. Are both of those statements true?

I am a belt and suspenders guy so I think I will get one. No special hurry but I would value knowing what brand you have. I am looking at this one. https://www.progressiveindustries.net/ems-pt30x

Thank you. The User Manual confirms what you said. SURGE PROTECTOR Your travel trailer is equipped with a Progressive Industries EMS-HW30C (electrical management system) surge protector. The surge protector is designed to protect the trailer’s electrical system that is connected on the output side of the surge protector. The shore power connection, cord to the surge protector, and transfer switch (if equipped with optional second shore power connection) are not protected by the onboard surge protector. https://olivertraveltrailers.com/wp-content/uploads/oliver-university/2023/2023 OTT Owners Manual E2 Web.pdf

Should I use an external surge protector with my 2023 E II? I searched the forum and could not find a definitive answer.

I would have thought the first dealer would have been more than 300 miles from Hohenwald

Is there an internal fuse in the Xantrex Freedom XC PRO 3000 Question?

Welcome

You know we all wish you the best. Do come back and share with us about your travels. We expect to hit Italy, France, Spain, UK, etc. someday ourselves. I'll consider you our expeditionary mission.

I love DuPont and that whole area.

I second CSP. Loved it there. The breakfast buffet at the lodge was great In the park up from where we camped in the mountainous Black Hills of South Dakota https://blackhillsvisitor.com/learn/the-summer-white-house-of-1927/ We were sitting on the grand front porch late one afternoon enjoying the company of new friends and a young girl handed me her camera and asked me to take her picture. I looked over at one of the fellows sitting next to me and laughed. He was a world famous photographer.

I had the same question. Sounds like a good idea for a factory change

First, Congrats Second, Welcome Your story sounds a lot like ours
