Found the Dexter axle grease, the #11390 LMX "Red" Grease on line for a little more than $8 a tube plus shipping and handling. Was greatly surprised that we were able to walk into an ACE Hardware auto section and pick up a couple of tubes for under $6 each. No shipping. No handling. No waiting. How often does that happen any more?

The literature and consensus is that this grease is the recommended grease for the Dexter EZ flex upgrade. Recommended for high and low temperatures, high pressure, heavy loads, water insoluble, and high adhesion. Sounds about what I want my Oliver to be riding on. This is one place where I won't settle for any old grease just sitting around. The stress put on dual axles systems during turns and other situations is reason enough for us to upgrade. Especially after seeing what some units look like after a few miles with worn out bushings and shackles.

Purchasing and Production have been notified. Hull #TBD has been conceived and scheduled for a Jan. 16 start date... Let the wait begin...

We've never owned a danfoss or swing arm compressor 12 volt refrigerator, but have used them in rentals in Australia, and were very happy with the results. Ours used very little battery power. Very common in the boating g world as well. I'll look forward to hearing your comments after you've used yours for a year or two. As for our 3ways, I have found the separate cooler for drinks to be very helpful. I also organize the 3way the same way all the time... Lightweight stuff on the door, leave breathing space near the fins, produce near the bottom, in plastic containers to minimize freezing lettuce, etc. I go into the fridge only a handful of times a day, if possible, to avoid dumping cold, and taking in humid air which hastens the ice buildup. Btw, Reed, Oliver trailers have always had the plastic vent grates. Never had a problem with the hinge. (But then, I don't put heavy items items on the door, and use the counter, not the door, if I need support to get up off the floor on days when my knee acts up.) The bottom tray Reed mentioned would be nice when defrosting and cleaning, too. I use a dishpan, but it doesn't catch everything. Sherry

I like the 'horse stall pad' we saw from Tractor Supply. They come in a 4' X 5' pad for $20. Cut to fit your blocks, use between blocks, on top of blocks and easy to store. About 3/4" thick. Helps take care of uneven sites. Even use a piece to kneel on when hooking up hoses and etc..

Why? You need a selection of different thickness pads or blocks anyway, for use on sloping terrain. What does this do that these won't, besides stay in place and look interesting? https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00I7BK234/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=1X5H11EH41351&coliid=IKVCDKYXJ34M8 Moisture will drain out, sure, but the bottom of your steel pad will eventually rust, don't be fooled. All kinds of crud will collect between the parts. Can it be removed for cleaning without destroying it? To me it looks like an answer seeking a question. John Davies Spokane WA

Little Buzzy is now at the Rainbow Bridge with all the Oliver dogs that have gone before him. Our Storm and Maggie, Pete's Oscar, Mountainborn's Dillon and others I'm sure that I overlooked and are missed by their owners just as much as we all do ours. Just this side of heaven is a place called The Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to The Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable. All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind. They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster. You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart. Then you cross The Rainbow Bridge together....

Matt, the other one to include would be Reserve America between the two of them you would cover pretty much all public campgrounds.

we all benefit from ollie owners experiences and modifications , I scan the form every night for new ideas . Keeps me busy over the winter..
