To put a bow on this one, the replacement of the circulation pump (Oliver service) resolved the issue. Hot water is flowing. Thanks all for the responses. In the end, probably not something I would tackle on my own. Took about 4 ish hours from diagnostic to covers back on. Spent most of the time reading and drinking coffee at the Rock House cafe in Hohenwald. Nice little coffee shop if you ever need somewhere to hang out. 🙂

Hey Geoff. Great advice. The WH does not appear to run in any way, shape, or form so testing the pump would be my next step. I am about 1 year and a couple weeks since our purchase, but I made a call to Oliver and they actually have a pump in stock. Since I am about 1.5 hours away I am going to make that drive and let them tackle it. I did speak to several other Truma authorized service centers, none of whom have parts and frankly, none of them inspired confidence in their ability to diagnose/fix the issue. I am hoping the Oliver folks will let me watch over their shoulder because I want to be a little more versed in the Aquago. By the way, it looks like the Aquago warranty is 2 years according to this. https://support.olivertraveltrailers.com/portal/en/kb/articles/truma-aquago-water-heater But eventually I will be doing this work on my own so I am book marking your post and hoping I never have to use it. 🙂 Thanks again! Bob

Yessir, I did read through that. I do need to better understand what it means to shut the unit down completely. I will give that a try before calling Truma. Can you provide any guidance around achieving a "complete" shutdown? Thanks, Bob

Went to turn on the hot water this evening and the Truma AquaGo is throwing off an error code 26: "Circulation pump current consumption error - The current detector at the circulation pump has measured a current outside the permitted limits." I have seen a couple of posts about this particular error code but no definitive root cause. We are about to hit the road for a 2 week jaunt through the Carolina's so I am hoping we can resolve this one pronto but everything I have read makes it look like I need a Truma dealer. Anyone have any experience with this one? Thanks! Bob

Trailblazer: Glad you got the issue sorted out! Geoff: We have a 260AH lithium batteries and a 2000 Watt Pro inverter. I assume the above applies to lithium batteries as well. True? I was not aware of that and we boondock a lot so 72AH is a big deal with our system. Bob

Running the AC off our 2000 watt inverter in our LE I is our only challenge after this. If we end up in a lot of weather that requires the AC we may add the Honda 2200i generator, but that is not something we are excited about packing in our TV or on the trailer. One step at a time.

Thanks, Dave. This is really helpful, especially the thoughts about mounting location for the charger. We have a local (Nashville) outfit that I will have do the job and he has done a couple of Olivers, but probably not an LE I yet so it may be a little different from he other installs. Glad to hear "no regrets". I think this will be a game changer for us considering how we travel. Bob

Thanks! Great information. I probably should have done a little more leg work to find those links, but thanks for digging them up for me. We are definitely 2 or 3 days and then back on the road - travelers not campers, we like to say. 🙂 I think our batteries are 260 AH so this is even more important for us since we can drain those pretty quickly. We will definitely go with the 50A Orion.

I did find some great info here. Maybe that is what I need.

Hey folks, I have found several folks that do this and have gotten a couple of quotes on installing a Victron DC-DC charging system on our tow vehicle for the Ollie. I was curious to hear if any of you have had that done by a Victron dealer (or other) and what your ball park costs may have been. Also, has anyone tackled that as a DYI project? If so, how did that go? Since we have a composting toilet we are assuming it would be a game changer with regard to being able to harvest host and otherwise boondock for multiple days in a row. Have you found it to be a significant benefit? Thanks in advance! Bob

It's interesting. We are just coming off a 3 week road trip and saw our first Ollie a day before we got home. We got so excited we considered pulling into the gas station where they were parked just to say hi. 🙂

Well it's been a year since we walked into the Oliver showroom dreaming about hitting the road. It was a big step for us since we have never owned an RV and we really did not have any idea if we would even like hauling a travel trailer across the country. Nevertheless, we bought our Ollie I in July 2024 right off the showroom floor. Within a couple of months we had both retired, watched a hundred videos, and were ready to launch. Our first 3 outings were to a corp of engineers campground near our home in Nashville. Since those shakedown trips we have put 12,000 miles on the Ollie, spent over 70 nights in it, visited 17 states, attended 2 Oliver rallies, and visited 11 national parks. We weathered 100 degree heat waves, teens in Arizona, dust storms in west Texas, and hail storms in South Dakota. We have fielded questions from dozens of folks curious about our little Ollie, and their comment is nearly always the same - "That thing is cute." Thanks to all who have answered questions for us during our first year, and it has been great meeting you all at the rallies. And thanks to the staff at the mother ship who have been so responsive in answering questions and helping get the bugs out over the last year. The folks at Oliver are the best in the business.

Just to put a bow on this one, we ended up having the panel replaced at the factory. That did the trick. Thanks again!

Good suggestion, Bill. I will give that a shot and report back tomorrow. Bob

I should have mentioned that the good news is that the hot water is working just fine even though it is not connected to the control panel. So not the end of the world, but would like to get it connected. By the way, I spoke with both Truma and Oliver service about it and we were unable to come up with a solution.
