Hello @Donna and Scott we will be attending site 217. Thank you for organizing.

Follow up to my inverter issues. Completed the “reset” and reinstalled. All was good until tried to use the microwave again as a test. Inverter immediately failed but this time I was able to catch an error code before it disappeared. Code was E04 (overheat). Contact Xantrex tech support and they asked me to check all trailer connections and if no issues inverter likely needed to be replaced. I checked all wiring and found no issues. In order to eliminate the trailer from the equation I removed the inverter and hooked up to a known good automotive battery. I tried to run one of the wife’s hair dryers and inverter immediately shut down again. Replaced inverter today with new Xantrex pro watt 2000 from Hodges Marine. Lowest price I found and arrived 2 days after ordering. New inverter working great and handled everything I tried to run on it. I did look into replacing with the all in one inverter, converter and charger but could not justify the 2 or 3 times cost difference when I still have no solar and wet cell lead acid batteries. Maybe in the future, for now I have a new inverter with 2 year warranty.

@rideadeuce looking forward to your follow ups and experience once installed.

Thanks for the pic @jd1923 reinforces the information @MAX Burner provided. I got under the street side bed today and the rear dinette. Think I am going to put a NEG bus bar and the smart shunt on the inner wall under pantry. Will keep everything within minimal distance to the rest of the components and allow me to clean up the battery compartment a little bit.

😂 Got it. And the way you put it I won’t forget… thanks for the info. Will make it easier as I start mapping out my install.

@MAX Burner Yes it helps, perfect explanation. When installed, does the black (negative) wire coming from solar controller go thru shunt at all or straight to battery negative?

@MAX Burner, I plan to add a smart shunt when I do my solar install. Just to be sure I understand the routing for shunt. I have an inverter. My current negative 4/0 cable going straight from battery to inverter will now go to battery side of shunt. Load side of shunt will get 4/0 cable going to inverter and the 4AWG yellow wire currently going to ground terminal?

Thanks @jd1923 and @Mike and Carol found the older post about hard reset of Xantrex. Looks like procedure is removing both positive and negative cables and let sit couple days before reconnecting. I will give it a try next week when we return home.

Thanks Mike, I can call Xantrex this week. Do you remember what you did for “reset”.

Four 6 volt wet cell batteries about one year old. They should have had full charge at the time since we had just disconnected from shore power that morning. But can’t say without a doubt. We are at another campground now on shore power. I may disconnect and see if happens again, or what I can run on inverter since I had never used before.

Since purchase in April my inverter has been off. While at a rest stop yesterday tried to use microwave on inverter. Microwave would immediately shut off. Now when the inverter is placed in the off position it gives off a high pitched whine or squeal. The only way I can get the sound to go away is to leave the inverter on. Currently connected to shore power and inverter light when on is green and no error codes. Also reset GFI on inverter. Inverter is the pro watt 2000. Hull 484. Anyone run in to this issue before? Or thoughts what the issue could be.

I would be very interested if the 9.5 is enough to cool an LE II in hot conditions. Our current 13.5 dometic is not enough to my liking so far with our limited use. Not sure if this is just due to its age or the hot high humidity conditions we have camped in. Our last travel trailer a 28ft had 2 AC’s but much bigger than the Oliver. Guess I was expecting the Oliver to feel like a freezer with the small space the unit has to cool.

Thank you for the welcomes. Here are a couple pics. First was when we got it home and second it’s a little shinier now after a good polishing. It was stored indoors by 2 previous owners so did not take much to bring out the shine. 2 mods on my list for down the road. Install solar. (All wiring was installed by OTT during build) and replace the Dometic AC.

Hello all, In mid April purchased 2019 LE II, Hull 484. Looking forward to continue to learn as much as possible on these forums about the maintenance of our trailer and modifications everyone has done.
