    OBI Dweller Review and Discussion

    When on shore power, it seems the charge on the batteries would be enough to keep up with 12v heating pads and when not on shore power, it's a little more efficient. Why not buy 12v tank heaters and wire them directly into the battery bank?

    LaBlaze, I did not use any glue, just clamps. I used an appropriately sized barbed M-M plastic connector available in the plumbing section of a local hardware store. So far so good.

    OBI Dweller Review and Discussion

    I mean inside here. I found a black powder coated decorative L-bracket at HD made out of steel and cut it to fit. Bolts to hold it in place. You might just make out the stock metal bracket starting to fatigue in the upper right.

    Here’s the extra length of clear pipe I inserted. Like the Dweller cousins, our Conqueror’s length of hose was simply too short from the factory and it had a tendency to slip off the fitting.

    Yes! I extended the hose with an extra foot of tubing from HD. What were they thinking!?

    Honestly, if you hadn’t mentioned the flickering lights, I wouldn’t thought it a problem worth tracking down. It only happens very briefly when it does at all. I wouldn’t say the Victron has a problem really.

    Interesting the solar charge controller affected the inverter/charger to such a degree. I don’t know enough to guess how this might be. Any ideas? I upgraded to a Victron MPPT controller at time of purchase so don’t know any different. Thanks for the suggestion this might be the reason for the...

    OBI Dweller Review and Discussion

    I recently had strange behavior with the Renogy inverter charger in that it was not charging the 5 x LiFePo battery bank fully. Your mileage may vary, but ultimately it turned out the two little screws that held the unit off the floor had bounced out. This resulted in the unit resting on some...

    Has anyone experienced bending and cracking of the latch plate for the pop out bed platform? Specifically, the thin metal plate that holds the rear bed platform up when stowed? Yesterday I reinforced both sides with powder coated steel L brackets and 1/4" bolts from HD. Took some cutting and...

    Something like this? It says it's compatible with PP 15/30/45. https://powerwerx.com/solar-mc4-anderson-powerpole-adapter-cable then add one of these? https://powerwerx.com/anderson-sb50-loose-piece-housing

    Chinese Trailer - NJStar Explorer

    @oregontrd and @Narrow Road Adventures your trailers look awesome. Out of curiosity, is it possible to sleep one person comfortably upfront without deploying the pop out? It looks from the floor plan that this may be possible. Also, can you clarify where the toilet is located? Both in your...

    2023 UEV-14

    With the control panel unscrewed inside the camper, I can see an Anderson connector labeled "DC-DC" plugged into the back of it. Is the DC-DC charger installed in between this connection? But is it best to position the charger as close to the battery bank as possible? In other words...

    2023 UEV-14

    Has anyone wired in a DCDC charger to their UEV-14 (USA)? Does the Anderson plug on the tongue go directly to the Anderson plug labelled 'DCDC' in the space behind the control panel? If so, what's the purpose of the Anderson plug inside the pull-out kitchen storage area?

    2023 UEV-14

    I recently wrapped the outside water lines with pipe insulation and all three water tanks with reflective bubble wrap. I also added a DIY battery bank warming system (5x 105Ah Lion Energy LiFePo). I failed to realize the Renogy inverter/charger needs to be ON to charge the battery bank! I...

    Bump to get the UEV-14 (USA) conversation going again, hopefully. Any others out there? What mods/upgrades have you made?

    Could you have worn out gas struts that led to this? Our UEV appears to have the exact lifting mechanism. It doesn't lift super easy and the scissor jacks moan and creak. On your Dweller maybe one side is worse than the other leading to the bent inside handle. If they were both equally as...
