Hi all my name is Marc my wife and I purchased the 2015 Elite II hull #83 that was listed in Dallas a couple of weeks ago. We live outside of Huntsville Alabama about two hours from the Oliver factory and are looking forward to being a part of the Oliver family

Here is the website I found that compares several manufacturers of TPMS Systems. There are probably other comparisons out there but this site seems to focus on systems for the RV Industry. Also YouTube has several customers and manufacturers reviews with installation instructions. Several have some slick features such as turning itself off if no motion is defected (to greatly extend battery life and not having to remove the battery for storage), large screen displays with constant monitoring/reporting, extended warranties and small size so they do not extend beyond the hub of the wheel to be broken off when getting too close to a curb, and locks to prevent theft. http://www.fiveina5th.com/landing/top-4-tpms-systems-comparison/?gclid=CMe-ndvEpM4CFdgQgQodnTkJWw Thank you coy

Hello. John and Liye here in Smith Valley, Northern Nevada. We just purchased Elite ll, hull number 92 a week ago and are thrilled. I squeezed it into the garage and have begun getting used to all the systems and getting it dialed in for our next trip. By far the nicest trailer I have ever had. Really impressed with how it tows too! I saw my first Oliver several years ago and have wanted one ever since. There aren't very many options on this one. Just installed a Blu-Ray with Wifi today and I will probably put in an inverter. I'd like to hear back from those with the cell booster and WifiRanger options. Do they work well? This one was delivered in August of 2015 and has the smaller brakes. I'm wondering if Oliver went to the 5200 lb axles to get the bigger brakes on the later ones, or if they just put the larger brakes on the 3500 lb axles? Anyone familiar with this? Looking forward to crossing paths with you, John

Welcome Marc! We're a pretty friendly group. Lot's of good information and expertise here. I spent time in Huntsville doing Army stuff years ago. Mike

Marc, Congrats on your Ollie and Welcome to the Forum! Will probably be in the Huntsville area with our Ollie next September or October!

I've had 3 tire failures on my '08 Elite. The first one occurred at 65 mph and I have no idea if it was a blowout or a gradual deflation. My first indication of trouble was strong vibration. Damage was limited to cosmetic in the wheel well and the wheel rim (the tire was completely shredded, of course). The next two were after installing a TPMS made by TST (Truck System Technologies). One was caused by a leaking valve stem. The tire dealer didn't have rigid stems that are needed with the monitor and the flexible stem that was on the wheel eventually gave out. The other was merely a puncture in the tire. In both cases I got plenty of warning to avoid running until the tire was completely flat and causing damage. The valve stem failure happened on a busy interstate and rather than having to change the tire there I was able to quickly add some air and drive another mile or so to an exit, all the while reading the pressure displayed in the cab so I didn't run it flat. Note that when I first got on the road in all three cases the tire pressures were just fine. Only the TPMS will help when trouble occurs while rolling. I tell new RVers that I'd put a TPMS very high on my list of aftermarket upgrades. There is great peace of mind in being able to know exactly what the tire pressure is at all times, especially when it's cold and rainy outside and you just want to get going.
