Dave Mazone Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Greetings, Pardon me if this is already covered, but the search I attemped was either 0 or thousand plus... When storing your Ollie for a couple weeks or even a few months, should some liquid be left in the toilet and all other tanks to keep the seals from drying out? Also, shouls the Ollie be stored level, or withe front end slightly raised? Or, does any of this matter at all? 1 Dave & Terri Mazone 2022 LII Hull #1019 TV: 2001 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD diesel, Crew Cab (4WD) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators SeaDawg Posted March 6 Moderators Share Posted March 6 I leave our trailer with a bit of rv antifreeze in the bowl, because it doesn't evaporate as readily as water. We leave camco valve seal in the tanks. I live in Florida. 3 2008 Ram 1500 4 × 4 2008 Oliver Elite, Hull #12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Mike and Carol Posted March 6 Moderators Share Posted March 6 I ensure there is water in the toilet when we aren’t using it. I periodically check and if needed I had more water. I also periodically put some water down each drain. Mike 4 Texas Hill Country | Elite II #135 | Ram 2500 6.7L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank C Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 I use these for the drain valves in the tanks and for the toilet seal: Thetford RV Drain Valve Lubricant - 24 oz 15843 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000BGK2L0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_J1ZQNKVYXSMAS2H9RT56?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 Thetford RV Toilet Seal Lube and Conditioner - Toilet Seal Lubricant - 24 oz 36663 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002NSU0ZW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_E09NVBCQX20WYZ1A7V5G?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 3 2019 Oliver Legacy Elite II - Hull #461 Tow Vehicles: Primary - 2019 Ford F-250 SuperCab 4x4, 6.2L Flex-Fuel engine Backup - 2019 Nissan Armada Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators SeaDawg Posted March 6 Moderators Share Posted March 6 Seriously, need to keep the toilet blade valve and seal lubricated. Rv antifreeze is perfect, wherever you live. Water is fine, if you can check it frequently, and you're in a temperate climate. Don't let it dry out. 1 1 2008 Ram 1500 4 × 4 2008 Oliver Elite, Hull #12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators topgun2 Posted March 6 Moderators Share Posted March 6 Agree with the advice above -- And, if you are going to store your Ollie for a period of time - say three months or so - you might want to cover top of the bowl with some Saran Wrap type of material. This helps prevent the liquid in the bowl from evaporating as rapidly.
