Is Jason referring to the fuse panel under the dinette table that converts to the single bed?

Here's a video of a 16k BTU a/c unit starting with EasyStart powered by a Honda 2000 generator.

Buzzy- Thanks for posting all of this info. I haven't had any trouble with my BlueSky equipment, but if I do, this will be very helpful to look back to for reference.

I use this headlamp for around camp and night fishing. Multiple settings, dims, and has red for preserving night vision. Very light weight and comfortable.

I get a new one of these every year and keep it in the truck.

Yeah, sorry. Some of the earlier responses did pop up on my iPad until after I responded for some reason.

A dedicated gray colored hose may do the trick to remind which hose is which.....

The shaking out of rugs and sweeping routine works well for a while for us, but after a little time, the nooks and crannies seem to need a little extra.
I thought about the Dyson, but after looking at reviews, I figured I can burn up three of these before I reach the Dyson price point. And it had the first decent review of a Black and Decker product I've seen in a really long time, so gave it a shot. Like Raspy, I have almost always regretted a B&D purchase, but so far so good with this one. ( knock on fiberglass)

I'm usually not a fan of Black and Decker products, but this one is an exception. Much better small vac than anything else I've tried. Great suction and a battery that lasts more than long enough to clean the trailer a few times before needing recharge.

My part is done....the bedding material to cover the cushion is the responsibility of her mother.????. On our Ollie, the extension for the twin mattress rests on the flange for the king set up, so could not use that. The extension notched very neatly with a dremel diamond disc, with no chipping of the gel coat. Then rounded the sharp edge with dremel sanding drum.

Not sure is anyone is interested, but posting anyway... our first real mod is done to accommodate our 18 pound furry traveling companion... she demands to sleep at the foot of our bed, but the twins in Ollie aren't big enough. So added a 18x30 cushion between the beds for her. The support is light weight, fiberglass covered nidacore. It's stiff, flat, strong and weighs a little over two pounds. The support can serve as a table if desired, and the cushion can serve as a back support up against the kitchen counter when watching movies. The support stows under the mattress when not in use. It's short enough so that we can still get out of bed easily at night.

Would something like this work for you? It might be preferable to keep the weight off the back of the trailer for sway prevention.

Our 2015 came with the BFG LT's..... for those that have them, curious what tire pressure you maintain in them?
Thanks.

Agree...and even better if you use a fresh grind. We use the melitta filter with the stainless insulated carafe. And a small hand burr coffee grinder. A slower, but nice morning ritual.

As stated in an earlier post in this thread, I too, have had no issues with my drawers with the previous style drawer slides; I find them to be quite rugged, and never have opened regardless of road conditions- so I am surprised that Anita said that they switched to the current ones because of issues. That said, I do think there should be some guidance or some reasonable expectations as to how much weight should be placed in them. As I have read through this forum over time, it is clear that there are different types of traveling "styles" from being minimalist to carrying everything including the kitchen sink. I can't help but think that how the drawers are used will impact the performance regardless of the hardware used. It is clear to me though just from the photos, that the switch from the old style to the new was not an improvement.

I just checked our drawers. I'm usually pretty good at identifying wood types, but it's hard to tell. Ours is either pine or poplar. I'm leaning towards poplar because the wood (coated with urethane) does not dent with a fingernail, but the color is not as green as poplar usually is.

Are you sure one of you doesn't sleepwalk with a sledgehammer?
Don't know why or when Oliver switched over to the drawer mechanisms you have, but it looks like they need to rethink the change. The ones we have are rock-solid, screws are in the sides of the drawers, and do not come open underway. I don't have anything to measure the force required to open our drawers, but it's at least 10lbs and they never come open on the road. (Ours has a short drawer under the sink rather than the one that pulls down like yours.) With the location being so low on the door for those short screws means a lot of leverage is being put on them. The manufacturer should have provided longer screws. Looks like Oliver (and customers) are learning the hard way that Oliver will need to use different screws..... and probably fill the screw holes with 3m 5200 when putting the longer screws in.
-
Is it possible that the bathroom door was shut and not latched, and whatever bump you hit that caused the drawer to open, also caused the bathroom door to open and slam shut?
-
We have EZ Flex as well. Does not seem to have an impact.

Could not find the previous thread on this topic, so starting a new one. Some were having issues with the upper doors popping open while underway, and at the time I wasn't having any issues with mine. Until the last trip. One of the hinges came completely undone. You can see from the picture that there is one small screw holding each hinge to the cabinet door. The screw does not grip the door with very many threads at all. If it comes loose, the door will come out of adjustment and will either not close properly, or will close and pop open. In my case, the screw came completely out and the door was hanging by the single screw on the other hinge.
I think a simple fix for this would be for Oliver to apply Loctite on the screw when they at doing the final adjustment to the doors during the install. For those awaiting there new delivery, it might be a worthwhile ask of Jason to follow up on.

My Oliver, Hull 98, was delivered in Sept. '15. It came with the drawer slides shown below. They are "soft close", "not easy open".... have had no trouble with them at all. Perhaps Oliver should return to this supplier.

All is well as of this morning....formatting back to normal.
Front or Tongue Jack isn't working. Where is the inside fuse?

We have one of those covers on our front jack. It works well to protect it from the weather. It's 18 months old now and starting to show signs of UV damage.(faint cracking) Will replace at the end of this season.
