Tom and Doreen Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 For those who have mounted one, where is the best location for mounting a LevelMate Pro on an Olly II? I'm planning on mounting one possibly in the front closet or above the master switch panel.

snakeriveridaho Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 We mounted our inside the closet, above the door. No problem getting a signal. We plug it into portable battery for power.

CnC Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 We first leveled our Ollie2 on a concrete surface, then mounted the battery operated Bluetooth unit inside the garage opening on the vertical forward panel. That way we can switch it on/off easily before and after manipulating the rear stabilizer up/down switches located there.

Tom and Doreen Posted February 22 Author Share Posted February 22 Thanks very much for the input, I like those ideas better than mine! I'll likely install it on the inside of the closet as shown above. Thanks! ~Tom~ 1 Tom & Doreen • 2023 Elite ll • Hull #1321 • 2023 Tundra Platinum Crew Max • Cheshire CT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rivernerd Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Another option inside the closet: the wall between the closet and the bathroom. The bath vent that runs through the roof is visible on the left side of the photo. Because that wall between the closet and the bath is thin, to avoid penetrating the bathroom side of the wall, be sure to either: (1) use washers, as I did or (2) attach it with double-stick tape or Velcro. In hindsight, it would have been easier to use double-stick tape. 7 Hull #1291 Central Idaho 2022 Elite II Tow Vehicle: 2019 Tundra Double Cab 4x4, 5.7L with tow package Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hokieman Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 I mounted mine same location as Kirk did in photo above. I used 3M VHB tape as I was worried screws would come thru the wall. I had concerns it would sag after awhile but it has been holding position for over a year. I just use the internal battery power supply, but it’s awkward to replace the batteries. The bath wall is easier to get to for battery changes. 6 “Ramble” - 2021 Legacy Elite II #797; 2020 Ford F-250 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom and Doreen Posted February 22 Author Share Posted February 22 Great ideas folks, thanks! I bought a Velcro mounting pad that's about the size of the LevelMate Pro that I'm planning on using. 5 Tom & Doreen • 2023 Elite ll • Hull #1321 • 2023 Tundra Platinum Crew Max • Cheshire CT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraniteStaters Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 I use Velcro to install in the dinette seat on the wall adjacent to the bathroom. It doesn't need to be visible and can be remove to install new batteries. 2 David Caswell and Paula Saltmarsh Hull 509 "The Swallow" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 I mounted mine right above the switches just inside the door. It makes it easy to reach up and turn it on and it is out of the way otherwise. I used double-sided tape to attach it. 1 2015 Ford F-150 2021 Elite II 1023 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave and Kimberly Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Roger... is it really necessary to be able to turn it on/off ? My understanding is that it "goes to sleep" until you use the app on your phone, which then wakes it up again when it's time to use it. Advantages for the Pro + (over the original model) seem to be almost 3 times the battery (240mAh vs 620mAh), ability to run off of a micro USB port, and compatable to Apple Watch. Other wise it seems that they both work and function exactly the same. 2022 Elite II, Hull #1097 Elli Rose 🌹 Lithium batteries w/390Amp hours, solar.

I wanted to mount it with screws per the instructions but in a hidden area. It works good there. As far as battery life...I have replaced the original battery once in almost two years. I keep the unit on during trips and off while not on a trip. It does go to sleep. Steve 2021 LE2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
