Love your Don Quixote Logo. Had the pleasure of seeing Robert Goulet Play it live. To Dream the Impossible Dream is one of my all time favorite songs. We will be at site F27. Would love to hear your connection to the Logo. Gary

Thanks Steve.

WOW!

Just noticed I’m your big brother, Hull 292. Anita, Ranger, and I are at F27. Looking forward to meeting you.

Hopefully when my Dometic dies the tariff’s will have settled down.

Totally get that. Looking forward to seeing you again

Thanks

OUCH! Just followed the link, not $1,299.99 for Tosot

Steve you got it going on in your Garage!

I see the agenda, just wondering how you schedule your meals, based on, if and when, the vendors provide food? Would love to get feedback from those of you who have been there and done it. We arrive Wednesday late afternoon, and leave Sunday Morning. Thanks Gary, Anita, and Ranger Hull 292 The Range Rover

After replacing the Xantrex ProWatt SW 2000 with the Victron Multiplus, what are the Xantrex and AGMs worth? Thinking of posting the Xantrex and 4 AGMs on Craigs List and FB Marketplace. Also have the old Progressive Dynamics original power board I replaced before I decided to get the MultiPlus. Any suggestions on what I should price it at? Oh, and I have the battery tray I took out to get the 3 Lithiums in the battery box. Also would be Happy to haul them to the Rally if anyone would like to buy them. I’ll be at site F27 and like it for someone who has been there and done it to take a look at my set up and give me suggestions. Thanks. Gary Gary.Teaney@ConsultantsTCB.com 727-224-2754

John looking forward to meeting you at the Rally. I’ve really enjoyed many, many, many of your replies/posts on the Forum.

I will follow this as I’m not sure. If need to disconnect, how do you figure out which wire in the trailer is the 7 pin power wire?

7 hours later, the Goldstar RV Owner, Matt, took out the Xantrex Inverter, wired in the Victron Multiplus, programmed with the Victron MK3, wired up the Cerbo GX, and 50 Touchscreen, and we turned on the AC with the 840 amps of 3 280Ah Watt Cycle Lithiums. Oh Happy Days. Have gotten some good advice on where to mount the touch screen. May wait to do that at the rally, or when we get to the Mothership on May 5th. Would never have had this happen without a LOT of support from fellow Ollie Owners. Thanks so much. Hope to see you at the Rally. We are Site F27 in the Range Rover, Hull 292 Gary, Anita, and Ranger

yes, the good news is Lithiums are a LOT lighter than the AGMs. But, at 57 pounds each, that’s 171 pounds for the 3. After reading about someone saying they felt like a “German Mechanic working on car” I came up with a Rube Goldberg solution. The original 4 AGMs were wired with no bus bars and no cut off switch. After seeing some sweet forum posts I decided to add the Blue Sea bus bars for Neg and POS, the 400 amp Blue Sea Fuse, and the Blue Sea Switch. (FYI, Blue Sea is very proud of their equipment and price it accordingly.) Using 4/0 welding cable, not the 4AWG from BatteryCablesUSAA.com that I ordered by accident, I realized it would be really hard to do this in the box. (By the way, BatteryCablesUSA not only refunded me for the wrong size cables I ordered, but helped me get the right ones, and 2 day shipped them in time to get them installed before putting the new Victron Multiplus in Monday.) See the pics below where I used the Loews what ever board, not the expensive board Oliver uses. thanks Forum. I wired the 3 Watt Cycle 280Ah, (not 300Ah, like it says on the label) on the table and made sure I had all the spacing right. Then disconcerted and put them on the board with the PVC pipe as rollers and hooked them up, Worked pretty well, except for the Blue Sea On/Off switch. It was almost too tall with the board and pvc rollers. (If you try this, use smaller pvc or a 1/2 inch board.) Good news is it’s all hooked up and good to go. Will update when the new Victron MP gets installed. I could not have even considered doing this if it had not been for the wonderful detailed posts other owner have posted and great responses to my questions. Oliver is a Great Trailer, and even better, because of the wonderful owners on the forum that support newbies like me. Thanks Gary

JD, will fly into Flagstaff in May for a Grand Canyon Rafting trip. Had already booked the flights before we bought the trailer in Dec. We are driving down to Sedona on the 12th and 13th. That’s as close to Prescott until we head out West in 2026 with the Ollie. Thanks for the parking offer. Look forward to taking you up on that. Gary

Yes, I have the front shore power outlet. So glad you told me this. Thanks. Good to know on the AC wiring.

JD, hope to see you at the Rally and have your Favorite Beverage waiting for you for all the help you have given me. I’m Printing this out to give to the installer. My goal when I owned my 2 Radio Stations, was to know just enough when my Engineer told me something, I could give him a LOOK, and a question, to keep him on his toes. Will use this info to do the same with the installer. Gary

What all can be removed when replacing Xantrex ProWatt SW with Victron Multiplex. I have a Mobile RV Repair guy coming Monday the 21st to put in the Victron Multiplex. In addition to the Xantrex ProWatt and the SW unit what else can be removed? Can the Transfer switch in the dinette seat basement go? Does the aluminum junction box, under the SW unit stay or go into the new MP? Any and all suggestions are appreciated. Thanks Gary

thanks. FYI, in my 1 step forward, 2 steps backwards Battery/Inverter upgrade, my BatteryCablesUSA battery cables arrived to add the 3rd battery and bus block, Fuse block, and off switch. I now know 4AWG is NOT 4/0 AWG. Will know at 9am today if they can ship all the 4/0 cables to me in time for me to install before we leave for Guntersville.

Jd, did you need the Victron Current Transformer? If so, which one or is there only one? Thanks. Gary Hull 292

Got it. Thanks

Derek, I did not even know where the AC drain was. Love this forum. Found it and this sounds like a great idea. Thanks
