I have one, but have yet to install. I was sent a picture from the factory showing their installation. Maybe a search of Accumulator will show it on here? Basically it looks like the water heater controller is unscrewed from the white board that the pump and all the fittings sit on. On the right side of the pump the swivel connector, that comes with the unit, is connected. Then the unit. Then the white hose is connected and routed down under the unit and hooked back up at original spot. This allows access to the air valve. We always set the empty air pressure to the turn on pressure of the pump. Then the water heater controller is reattached, just further back on the board. A neat and simple installation. Maybe I will look for the picture and see if we can post. That should give me something to do and keep me busy while waiting for Spring...

Hi Steve, I had a friend break a Spring, he had the 3500lbs axles but apparently not the right springs on his trailer, not an Ollie... You've got the 5200lb axles but do you know for sure that they upgraded your springs to the 5200lb springs also? I'd never thought about the springs having a lower rating until his broke last month and we ended up changing his out at a Rally. It was an eye opener and he was a lucky dog as usual :) On another note, I was surprised to see that our Ollie's come with a 2" ball and a 7000lb hitch, they should have an upgrade option on the order sheet to the 2-5/16" Bulldog coupler being that the 7000lb coupler isn't enough of a cushion for me. I've got a 10,000lb 2" ball, but I'm really wondering if the Bulldog Hitch will hold up if there's an impact. Personally, I think all of the trailers should have the 2-5/16" set up. Reed

Today I received the 2 5/16" Bulldog Coupler (their item #028462) that I had ordered thru WalMart. GTW rating for this coupler is 12,500 lbs vs 7000 lbs on the OEM one. Though many would say that is overkill, The Outlaw Oliver II weighs over 7200 lbs so this upgrade is warranted and anyway, I'm all about overkill. It was about $66.00 and change including shipping. This will allow me to take full advantage of the Weigh-Safe hitch mount that I've also ordered. Going from the 2" to the 2 5/16" ball will increase Max GTW from 7500 lbs to 14,500 lbs. This setup now also fully optimizes the capability of the new Silverado 2500 HD truck. If you are buying a new Oliver Elite II and your plan is to tow with a HD pickup, consider specifying the larger coupler for your build.

Well, I finally pulled the trigger on the weather alert radio - Kaito KA600L . Much more radio and money than originally planned or truly needed, but, I added Short Wave, digital tuning, bigger speaker, and bigger battery to the mix. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01I4W8EHQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Thanks to John Davies for the short wave idea and to Rideandfly (Bill) for the brand. Also thanks to everyone else who helped stir the pot. Once I actually receive this radio (it is a Christmas present) I'll do a review here. Bill

It turns the water pump on or off, like the switch in the galley. Note - if you flip the outside water pump switch and do not return it to the original position, your inside galley water pump switch operation will be reversed. To use either of these switches, the water pump must be enabled on the master panel, just inside the door.

Just to comment. When I was at the factory, a tech was cleaning the black smoke residue around the frame welds with acetone. If If it still looks like that, you might put some acetone on a rag and see if it cleans up. Might make inspecting the welds easier.
