From your link Rather than a rounded rear end like other Airstreams, the concept features a truncated, flat design that's better for aero. The trailer's completely flush underside is yet another attempt at making it more aerodynamic.

Do the solar panels use a different charger, something other than my "onboard charger"?

Why does it take a 2,000 watt generator so much longer to recharge the batteries than 400 watt of solar panels?

Q - How long would it take a 2000 watt generator to recharge 390 amp hour battery? A - The time it would take a 2000 watt generator to recharge a 390 ampere hour (Ah) battery depends on several factors, such as the charging efficiency, the condition of the battery, and the charging rate. Assuming a charging efficiency of around 80%, which is a reasonable estimate for most lead-acid batteries, we can calculate the charging time using the following formula: Charging time = Battery capacity (Ah) / (Charging rate (A) x Charging efficiency) To determine the charging rate, we need to convert the generator's wattage to amperage, using the formula: Charging rate (A) = Charging power (W) / Charging voltage (V) For a typical 12-volt lead-acid battery, the charging voltage is around 14.4 volts. Thus, the charging rate of a 2000 watt generator would be: Charging rate (A) = 2000 W / 14.4 V = 138.9 A Plugging in the values, we get: Charging time = 390 Ah / (138.9 A x 0.8) = 3.5 hours Therefore, it would take approximately 3.5 hours, or 210 minutes, for a 2000 watt generator to fully recharge a 390 Ah battery, assuming optimal conditions and a charging efficiency of 80%. However, in real-world situations, the actual charging time may vary depending on factors such as the temperature, the state of charge of the battery, and the type of battery chemistry.

I explained my lack of understand of electricity in this earlier thread. Long story short, I am an e-dummy. But yet, I persevere. Using ChatAI Q - How long would it take for 400 watt solar panels to recharge 390 amp hour battery A - To calculate how long it would take for a 400-watt solar panel to recharge a 390-ampere hour (Ah) battery, we need to take into account a few factors, such as the efficiency of the solar panel, the weather conditions, and the charging controller used. Assuming a charging efficiency of around 80%, which is a reasonable estimate for most solar panels, we can calculate the charging time using the following formula: Charging time = Battery capacity (Ah) / (Solar panel power (W) x Charging efficiency) Plugging in the values, we get: Charging time = 390 Ah / (400 W x 0.8) = 1.22 hours Therefore, it would take approximately 1.22 hours, or 73 minutes, for a 400-watt solar panel to fully recharge a 390 Ah battery, assuming optimal conditions and a charging efficiency of 80%. However, in real-world situations, the actual charging time may vary depending on factors such as the weather, the angle and orientation of the solar panel, and the state of charge of the battery.

Using that plug, what level of output would the generator need to run the convection microwave or the AC on a new 2023 E II?

How do you guys not need the 30A outlet? The Champion I am looking at has it, but when I look at something lighter it will not have that 30A outlet.

I am looking at this guy

I love trip planning. I hope I like tripping even more. We looked at a lot of RVs. We studied YT and websites. NOTHING came close to the quality we witnessed during the factory tour.

https://www.rvparky.com/ RV Parky is an RV Park directory built by a full time RV'er with the help of the RV community to help fellow RV'ers on the road. Here you can find information, images, and reviews for the most complete collection of RV Parks and campgrounds in the United States and Canada.

https://wanderinglabs.com/ Camping has never been more popular and thus campgrounds are often completely full and reserved months in advance. Your only chance to camp is to hope someone's plans change and they cancel their reservation. Freeing up space for you. How will you know there is now a few nights available? We will tell you. Our service checks for available campsites every few minutes and sends off an email giving you a heads up. That's it. That simple. It will be then up to you to actually reserve the open spot. I'm Tim and I had a problem. My wife and I live fulltime in our Airstream and hate planning more then a month or two in advance but we love staying at our awesome (and well used) public campgrounds. I built this service to solve a problem and then decided to share. If you have comments or questions you can email me at: info@wanderinglabs.com. I'll do my best to get back to you.

I just started with this forum, and am trying to be patient as I wait for my Ollie. I think I saw these apps on this forum. I thought if I stated a thread others could add apps they like, or comment on the apps that are listed. Feel free to add any tricks you use to find a spot. Everything I read talks about how hard it is to find a spot.

Too late. It's chronic.

Love this forum full of Oliver people. I have looked and looked, is there a button to take me to the first unread post?

I am new at this Oliver thing! I got too excited.

And at 3:43 It was an Ollie convention! 🤩

There were two Olivers at that time slice. Check at 3:11

I am not an electrician, I don’t play one on TV and I did not stay at a Holiday Inn Express, so please keep it simple for my simple mind. I have been reading the forum for a few days and I have found posts that talk about and around using a generator solely for charging the Ollie batteries. Is using a generator solely for charging the Ollie batteries a good idea? My objective is to have as small a dual fuel generator as possible, while I am off shore-power to compensate or complement for the 400 Watt solar panels. My larger objective is to be as untethered as possible while traveling. I don’t want to go to a bigger generator to run Ollie in full or partial mode. My Oliver Elite II is on order. It is coming with 390 AH Lithium batteries, 400 Watt Solar panels with charge controller and 3,000 Watt Pro inverter. Is there any special request I need to make to Oliver to create a plug from the generator to the battery to make the connection as clean and simple as possible? Dumb question time – Why couldn’t the generator power enter the battery system via the external solar panel connection?

My wife and I will be looking to get our degree! We plan to hit the wonderful state parks here in Arkansas first to get our RV legs. My wife loves the beach, and I love my wife, so Florida is on the horizon. From there we will follow the seasons.

Next Monday is my last day to cancel my order without penalty. I think we are committed. It is a lot of money, but after studying RVs for over two years now, I simply do not see other brands being as well built and the culture there at Oliver in Tennessee seems to be all about building a good RV. I am excited, and to be honest a little nervous. My expected delivery date is early August. More about us. My wife and I have been married for a long time. We have two grown kids who don't live close by. I retired from corporate life about six years ago. We spent that time decompressing from suburban life and the demands others placed on us. We now enjoy the country life. Over the last six years we stayed close to the farm with our cattle and sheep. That really helped me come back to life after sitting behind a desk for almost 40 years. We sold the livestock last spring and are now anxious to hit the road and see this great country. I am learning patience. We are waiting to take delivery of a fully outfitted LE II. I hope to see you Ollies out and about. Stop by our camp and say hi!
