We haven't finished adding everything, but you can find owner's manuals, component manuals and videos on the Oliver University page. You can find the Oliver University under the "Travel Trailers" tab in the main menu. http://olivertraveltrailers.com/oliver-university/ We will be adding some other "how-to" videos as we get them from the videographer. If there is something you don't see, let us know and we will add it.

Hi Everyone, My name is Ryan with Blue Sky Energy Tech Support. I just wanted to share my direct email and contact information in case anybody had any questions or concerns. Direct #: 760-208-2149 Email: techsupport@blueskyenergyinc.com I'm always happy to help, feel free to contact me any time :) Happy Camping Ryan

I have them on my off road moped that I use to get to remote fishing spots.

Awesome. That will be a fantastic resource.

That's a RotoPax set up....great idea if you have a flat surface with structural support behind to support the bracket. http://rotopax.com/

Interesting that the hull numbers are so close, as this would be an Oliver install item, I wonder if they maybe had a new hard charging enthusiastic employee installing them, hopefully they slowed him down a little since then. Seems anyone around those hull numbers might benefit a closer inspection, if concerned.

Had this idea last year but did not get around to executing until this week. I was thinking that keeping light out of the trailer when it is in storage would keep the heat level down. As an added benefit, if you need to overnight at a Wal-Mart or other parking lot with all night lighting, this might let you get some sleep. All I did was remove the window shades and cut the reflectix to size. Then it is easy to install / remove and roll up and store. The roof vent for the MaxxAir Fan and the Door Window took some velcro and duct tape to make work but it was pretty easy to size and put up. Easily removable with the velcro. The last picture of the interior was taken on a bright sunny day around noon. When you first enter and close the door it is pitch black inside. When your eyes adjust you can see the interior enough to move around. Some light still gets in but not enough to keep you awake. Hope you enjoyed this. Best, Scotty

Thanks guys for the input. I'm looking at a 35 gallon tote just not sold on how durable the wheels are.

geO, This is the second try with totes for us so far with the Ollie. This set up would work with larger totes with wheels, too. Use this 6 gallon tote with an 8' flex hose connected to the Ollie. The previous owner of our Ollie cut thin wall PVC pipe in half to cradle the flex hose and also supplied us with the 8' flex hose. Use the PVC pipe at dump stations, too. Outhouse Humor : :)

You can get 5 gallon drums with water tight lids for free at many car washes. They use them for soap and need to get rid of them weekly. I've got a bunch that I use for flotation but they are perfect for containment. I take one when needed for gray water and then dump it down a toilet.

We take a tote with us, but have yet to use it with the Oliver. (We came close, but was heading past the dump station in an hour or so anyway.). Of course GI showers have to be the standard, or you could use the Million $$ SPAs that our tax dollars provide. The totes work well as long as you put the covers on tight and don't speed over bumpy roads. You can get a cap with a hose fitting for both ends, dedicated hose (suggest not white), and don't try to overfill. You might have to make a couple trips depending on length of stay. I do carry a cap with a built in gate valve. It can save running for a valve on the side. Remember at 8 pounds a gallon water can get heavy. That may limit the size of the tank if you have to pick it up full. We put the metal handle on, slide it over the trailer hitch and off we go. Of course some of the deluxe tanks have 4 wheels and a long handle. I don't mind it traveling in the back of a pickup, but don't think I would want in my SUV. Hope this helps

I got my LE2 used, so I had no say in the matter, but knowing what I know now, I'd delete the AC on a new order. The noise, the bulky unit on the roof and the difficulty of running it on a practical size genny make it seem like a white elephant unless on shore power in Las Vegas or Phoenix in the summer. After looking at window units some, it looks like one could be built into the space below the forward dinette seat. Not hung on the outside, but built into a box. This would have partitions to manage airflow and a couple of vents to the outside. The grill would be cut into the fiberglass wall facing the hall, under the seat. It would be quieter, draw less power and keep the outside streamlined. A 12 volt fan could stir the inside air if needed. Problem in my case is the huge hole already in the ceiling. Fortunately, I don't think we will need it very often, so I'm not going to get serious about it right now.

If you haven't seen this post on the F150 forum already then it might help. Also, Ford has a TSB on trailer brake connection problems, #45236, which might be relevant.

Had an issue with the IPN Remote display not showing any data - See picture #1. Was advised by Ryan at Blue Sky to unplug the data line at the back of the remote for a few seconds - See picture #2. Problem solved with a screwdriver and a phone call. My kind of problem. :-) Posting here in case anyone has the same issue. Easy fix. Scotty

Clever ideas abound on the forum! I joined Amazon Prime two days ago and my first free delivery order was a set of these cubes.

"clam" is a proprietary name. For us, we carry day to day indoor life (clothing, cookware, bedding, food), for the most part, in the trailer. Odd bits... Chainsaw, extra 5 gallon water containers, dirty laundry,generator, gas cans, extra propane tank, extra stuff, etc, etc, (sometimes the ATV...) in the truck bed... Even in the smaller, older, elites, you can pack clothes, equipment, and essentials and more in the trailer????, and even more stuff that you don't need, in a short bed or SUV for a couple months or more. Been there. Done that. Way too much stuff. Many times. But, we're still married. .. with or without too much 'stuff'. Life's an adventure. The road amplifies it, and we love it. Sherry

Bill, I've gone ahead and installed all five new wheels on my trailer. Not that that was necessary, but I already had them and they have new tires on them. They are the star wheels I showed a picture of earlier. Rated for 3200 lbs each and no pressure limit given. Same 16 X 7 size with a very slight offset difference that works well. Same nuts and center caps. I think I like the look of the originals more, in spite of the fake rivets, but these are better wheels. Looking at the load chart for the Michelins you posted, and thanks for that, it seems that even at 40 PSI they are rated to carry 1650 lbs each. Times 4 would be 6600 lbs total. Way more than an LE2 weighs. 40 PSI seems low to me and I've got mine currently at 60 where they "look" about right. The spare is an interesting situation. As you know, the spare is a smaller size on the stock LE2 up to about hull number 200. Well, it's not just one size smaller, it's a 205/70/16 on the same size wheel and it's not E rated. Lower aspect and smaller size, with a standard load rating instead of E. So, I'm sure it's fine to get to the tire store, but not fine for a long trip out of the desert, for instance. Turns out, a full sized tire will mount up just fine on the rear mount and I now have one mounted there. The problem is that the fiberglass cover will not fit and cannot easily be made to fit. So, I have decided to run a soft cover on mine.

You will always get a gas furnace, that is standard. The regular wall thermostat controls both heat and cold, just like at home. For some reason the Atwood won't tie into that easily, so you just run it as a stand alone device. You don't need the bigger unit unless you live in the Mojave Desert - it's a very small and extremely well insulated trailer - but running a generator to run an electric heat strip just doesn't make much sense when you can just run the furnace. If you are concerned about it, choose the 30 pound bottle option. The heat strip would be useful if your were connected to shore power every time you camp, but in that case the Atwood wouldn't be so attractive... These trailers are made to be off-grid, and I intend to use ours that way. John Davies Spokane WA

This is what we did to stop the kitchen drawers and night stand from opening. We didnt have a problem with stuff crashing to the floor, but after seeing photos we thought we should come up with something. Adams Manufacturing makes the suction cups in the usa. They work really great. Down side is you have to buy a bulk amount. We got a spool of shock cord and attached with tie wraps and just put them on when we travel. Then they just hang up in the closet when we are camping. But we are finding all kinds of cool uses for them. Havent even started thinking of outside uses yet:) janet g
