I thought the heavier duty axles had 12" brakes.

There have been lots of owners to swap to the (now standard) 5200 pound axles. It makes good sense if you’re installing the HD springs. Plus, you avoid the hassle of having to service the bearings.

After reading this thread, I’m really glad that our 10 yo Dometic equipment is still working perfectly and we’re still happy with it. The fan noise from the A/C has never bothered us and it blocks out any noise from outside.

Just one oxygen molecule.

The two that go thru the frame.

Does it fold up flat? As is, it’s too large to carry easily and would be hard to pack around it.

You can effortlessly take the entire rear jack out in 10 minutes by removing only two bolts. I’ve done both of mine several times each. Then you can take the jack to the shop and work on any part of it. If anyone at the rally is interested, I will be happy to show you how it’s done.

A magnetic catch is indeed useful. However if your trailer is level (particularly side to side) the door will stay in any position you leave it. In fact, I use the bathroom door as an indicator of how level the trailer is.

My greatest takeaway was he kept stating he would never be able get the inside of his RV to 86 degrees with his truma. I’ve gotten our Oliver to more than that (accidentally) with only a small electric heater. It could be that the van is not nearly as efficient at reducing heat transfer as our Oliver’s are.

Pex tools used to be very expensive. Now for about the price of 3 or 4 shark bite fittings you can buy a complete set of tools and crimps from Amazon. https://a.co/d/fMcntAT

To get to all three Allen screws on the rear jacks you have to remove the jacks. From under the trailer, remove the two nuts from the carriage bolts holding the jack to the frame. Gently tap each bolt back up through the holes so they can be removed from the inside. Lift the jack out through the inside access port. They will have to have their power supply wires cut. Now you can take the jack to your bench and work on it comfortably. I replaced the crimp-on connectors with a 10 gauge SAE connector to make for easy removal next time.

There is absolutely no reason to lube the inner tube.

That statement is poor information. If fuses weren’t reliable why would they be in virtually every circuit in the world? Having two in a given circuit is a redundancy, but it’s never a bad idea and in many cases is actually a good idea as it protects the circuit from both ends. If you’re a decent mechanic you’d already know that there are two fuses and you will have to check both to find the fault.

I can't argue that under these circumstances, it would take a long time to get to everyone. But don't misunderstand what I wrote. These statements are just possibilities that I'm saying COULD be true, I have no evidence that they are, but if I was running Truma and a company pissed me off bad enough, that's exactly what I would do. I don't own a Truma, but if I did and now knowing the exact nature of the issue, you can bet your sweet bippy I would pull that burner out, repair it, put it back in, torque it to the proper specs, hook up and go camping.

None of this is provable, of course, but I personally don’t think Truma has any intention of ramping up production to help Oliver. When this problem became apparent, Truma refused to issue and take responsibility for a recall laying the entire blame on Oliver claiming they were the only OEM that had experienced a problem. Truma knew about (or at least bought into the idea) that their product might have as issue because they retooled and changed the design of the burner assembly. It is my belief that this “shortage of parts” is an issue manufactured by Truma to punish Oliver and (by default) this community of owners for making this problem public knowledge.

I think this is a reasonable and responsible approach.

IF you decide to install a second connector, best practices would be to install a transfer switch between the two and reroute the output through the EMS. Otherwise, there would be no protection from electrical problems while using the front connection. An additional benefit would be that you could then use the front connection as a generator hookup.

For those that haven’t read the entire thread, I still stand behind what my research showed in September of 2023.

This would be your perfect opportunity to attend the Oliver Owner’s Rally in Guntersville. Will we see you there?

Your sited article makes this vehicle sound as if it’s still in development. Is it currently on the market? I can’t imagine us ever owning something like this. I like our big ole honkin’ truck just like she is.

If the sensor is installed correctly and the tank is empty it will read zero percent.

Upon checking, I discovered that a re-certified tank is only good for an additional five years.
