Teaney Hull 292

Wow! The picture with the falls is beautiful. Need to put that spot on our bucket list when we hit the East Coast trip. Our Standard Poodle is Ranger. Got the Oliver because he has separation anxiety when we are gone for a week or two. Now we travel with him. Named the Ollie, “The Range Rover.” We too Love our Knucklehead.

Anita and I do love our Buc-ee’s adventure. Mad house, YES! And it drives me CRAZY when people get gas, leave their car for 20 minutes to go in and shop. OK, Rant over.

Have you installed your Victron 12v charger? I have Hull 292 with the 4045CVS board upgrade to give what I think is ramped lithium charging. Not sure if it is the best option for my 2 280ah Lithium batteries. Thanks for any input. Gary

Will do. thanks

Thanks Roland. Hope to see you at the April Ollie Rally. We are in site F27

Great info. Thanks. Here is what I have in my 2017 Hull 292; The PD 1045 Power Center. Ordered the board 4045 CVS to replace old board to allow for what I think is ramped Litium charging. I have a 180 portable Zamp solar panel. I could not find a solar controller in my basements. Know it works, because Duke, the previous owner, gave a a small portable solar panel to use when trailer is in storage. Plan on getting the Vantrex 3000. There are 2 models, 818-3010 and 818-3015 Marine. I’m guessing go with the 3010? Installing it is way over my pay grade. Have had other owners offer to help at the Rally in April, but I think that is asking WAY too much. Will see if a local boat place has Xantrex install experience. As I understand it, I can take out the Battery Tray, saw your post on how it’s installed when you had issues with the rivets. It will then hold the 2 280Ah batteries. May need some new cables made, put in the 4045 CSV upgrade board and I am good to go, till I get the Xantrex 3000 installed in a month or two, or three. Right? thanks again for your help. Gary

John, you are a wealth of knowledge. Thanks

I thought the red “sht” showed the Black Tank was full on their picture. %^)

Once again you are a great source of knowledge on all things Oliver. Thanks

I just ordered 2 280ah batteries that are 15.12x7.64x10.4. I see other people have taken out the battery tray. My batteries get here April 14th. Your info popped up when I googled removing the Battery tray. Do you know if any other instructions for doing this? Thanks. Gary 2017 Hull 292

I have the Xantrex ProWatt SW. I just ordered the PD 4045CSV replacement board to charge the lithiums. How many BatteryAH will it handle? Or will it charge them all and just take a lot longer time? I’m looking at getting a minimum of 400AHs or maybe 560. Here is what else I have that may matter; 180 watt Zamp Portable Solar Panels & External Solar Port. I see the red wire coming in. Does it go directly to the Xantrex? I can not find the Solar Controller in the basements. Would like to order in the next week to have it set up for the April Rally. My AGMs are DEAD. I appreciate any and all suggestions. Thanks Gary

Will Follow as I’m about to upgrade 2017 Hull 292

Chris, is the the 4045 CVS Lithium board replacement? How happy are you with it? I’m about to buy around 300 to 400 plus AHs of Lithium and read this should work. I see the board is $184 on ETrailer.

Just so you all know, my brain is overflowing with all the great on and off comments. Love them all. I’ve been cutting and pasting notes, and should have created a separate folder for just Batteries and Solar and install. You are all giving me a college course in Oliver Trailer Life. Thanks

I’ll buy the 2nd round. It’s all good,.

You are welcome any winter to visit us in Tampa

Another reason we love this forum. Even the Master learns here.

So your 460AH Lithium batteries will run the AC for a few hours? We have the 13,500 Dometic Penguins

Oh, did not know about 2 Lithium batteries, means 45 amps with the new 4045CVS board will only charge 22.5 amps. Will have to camp in cool months/up North.

Looking at adding about 600AH from your earlier comments, Have 380 portable solar. Will add the Lithium and the 4045CVS board and see how that works.

Well said. Thanks

With the 45 amp upgrade, maybe 3 times longer. Spend more now, to save money later??? Or jump in all in. Decisions, decisions.

Craig, I often go the path less traveled, and end up in the briars and brambles. For $184 I can add the 45 watt charger board. I also am looking at the Xantrex 3000 watt to get the higher amp output. May just go with the 45 watt board and see how it works with my new Lithium batteries.

Good to know. Will check on this.

As always, good info. thanks
