Truma AC install

[xmavrick]

I had the Truma AC installed on 12-20-23 and noticed when I got home that there are no drain holes drilled in the rear cowl below the AC unit, is this normal for the retrofit as I thought the new unites on the lot had them? Thanks in advance to those that chime in!

We had the Truma AC retro done and we do have the tiny weep holes you are speaking of.

I checked with OTT service and Mike stated that the drain kit they installed, eliminates the need for the weep holes. It just seems odd that the new trailers still have the weep holes.

If Mike was referring to the Truma condensate drain kit which uses the Oliver OEM drain tube, we also have that and it has worked great.

From your comment, and this picture:

It appears that the Truma is mounted on about a 3" high platform to allow the A/C vertical height for the condensate to drain over to the OTT internal drain lines.  Creative solution.

The stock OE2 on level ground with the full diameter (16")  rims/tires and the Dometic Penguin AC is 9' 8".  Any idea how tall it is with the pictured A/C and drain kit installed?

According to the new brochure (linked) it shows the Truma Aventa in the photo on the OLEll at 9’ 8”. Our 2020 LEll has the 16” wheels.
I believe in late 22 YM and 23, and 24 YM Oliver went to the smaller wheel/tire set up which would reduce overall height. I have never measured the exact height of XPLOR post our Truma install. Given the slight slope or drop where the new fiberglass foundation to accommodate the Truma retro fit was installed, I will go with what Oliver states as the overall height being 9’ 8”. This is also listed in the 24 YM info packet.

Really important to know our actual height's, especially with any mods. 

As far as relying on posted info without not checking.....I do not have a Sat Receiver.  So per the 2018 brocuhure, the height of my Ollie should be 8' 6".  

 

Tilt:  Our Ollie is well over 8' 6" high.

Also remembering that posted bridge heights are not always updatedd after paving overlays. Personally I use anything posted as under 10 feet posted as a RED FLAG warning.  Less than that I stop and test fit so to speak.  As you point out, we all really need KNOW what our rig's height really is.
