Electric Outlets

[Mike and Carol]

For potential buyers, I encourage you to call the sales team with specific questions.  It’s okay to ask here, but you may or may not get the right answer, depending on who responds.  The sales team will have the latest information.  Mike

I didn't think you were an employee I just thought that the juxtaposition of your quote with something sales might say was too funny to go unsaid. 😁 I appreciate the info though!

We're not that far from the factory. If you want extra outlets installed, bring your trailer to our house after your pickup and together we'll put outlets any where you want them.  Won't cost you a dime.

Jairon, I'm not a sales guy or an Oliver employee, just a long time happy owner attempting to offer you good advice and an easy, logical alternative to your problem. I can tell you that Oliver will not add any personal options during your build.  They will, however, add them after the fact in the service department. This will cost extra. I understand that it seems counter productive (from a customer's viewpoint) to do it that way, but it is the business model that Oliver has adopted and they stand firmly behind it.

I spoke with one of the sales personnel at the factory this morning. It appears that in the 2020 models all the 120v outlets that were down low at the rear on previous models were removed. Why...??? They were replaced with one 120v outlet on the underside of the attic storage area on one side and a 12v (USB?) "charging station" on the other side.

The word on the street is there will be a different arrangement in the 2021 models but, it is as yet undetermined.

 

Anxiously awaiting 2021 TBD electrical configuration.

Yes, don't they all.

I guess my question is: Does the inverter have an external switch, remote from the inverter itself?  Our RV has a switch on the inverter power monitor in the control center.  Maybe they all do.

Yes Oliver's have the remote switch option as well. I was thinking more generally.

On my 2018, 12V outlets are: One below aft dinette seat near PDC and LP/CO detector. One each overhead, above the forward end of the bunks. One each on either side of the nightstand beside the AC outlets.

My 2017 has 2 USB ports next to each 12V outlets as I assume bhncb's does.

If I bring my trailer over, will you finish the plumbing work I started?  Also, it could use a coat of wax.

I received a partial answer from the sales department regarding the 110v outlet situation for 2021 trailers. First, an exact reason for the floor level 110v outlet removal was not provided; however, they did specifically mention Canadian regulations at one point in the conversation. The good news is that the 2021 models should have a new 110v outlet somewhere close to the pantry area opposite the stove. I couldn't nail down exactly where the outlet would be during our call. If anyone is able to get better information, please update us!

Well at least they narrowed it down to one quarter of the trailer for you.

😆They specifically mentioned "a place to plug in your CPAP machine," so at least they understand the problem that was created.
