There is no "integrated generator" as such that comes with the trailer. Jason is referring to an owner supplied generator that has been modified so as to be able to be integrated into the control system of their new EcoFlow control panel. Everything in the coach can be controlled from the touch screen as I understand it.

Truma did not do any work. All the work was preformed by Oliver guys. And they were able to have one fixed and up and running in under 30 minutes.

The 960 watt Girard awning is $8224.15, but that is a 5% saving over its MRSP of $8657.00. I'd get two just to have enough.

Everything that runs on 12 volt still works just like it always did. To achieve this, the 48 volt system has been infused with magic, elves and possibly Elvis.

Everybody note... The new Oliver ApeX-23 is designed and advertised to be an off-GRID trailer NOT an off-ROAD trailer.

Mr. Jim Oliver told me personally that the frame was engineered to support 3X the GVWR. He stated that it was good to 21,000 pounds. Actually Oliver's GVWR of only 7000 pounds is due to their continued use of the underrated four leaf spring pack (the same ones that are breaking). This causes the otherwise 5200 pound Nev-R-Lube axle to be de-rated to 3500 pounds each.

Help: Shower filling up with Kitchen sink water. How?
ScubaRx replied to Wayfinder's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
This valve has been standard equipment since 2008. -
Welcome to the Club from Hull # 050.

As to your first point - portable panels check this out. https://solartrackpro.com/ This is a product that was conceived by one of our owners. It has been under development for about 5 years and is now ready for sale. There are several owners that have one of the earlier models, myself included.

One lane, three mile long, dead road (unknown to us) deep in the back woods of West Virginia. Sharp fall offs on both sides of the road and absolutely no possible way to turn the truck and trailer around. Front hitch on the truck. I wouldn’t go anywhere without it.

For those of us who have been around for a few decades or so, probably have a collection of USB cords numbering anywhere from the hundreds to perhaps the thousands. I know I do. I decided to go through all of mine and sort them by type. For anyone that's not been paying attention there are currently three types of USB cables: A-B-C. Within these types there are at least five sub-types. Within all of these there are many versions of capabilities and speeds. Some will only carry data, some will only carry power. Some will carry both. Before I started sorting I wrote a little document to help me understand the differences. All this information was copied from multiple sites on the internet so I know it is all accurate. 🤪 I have included a PDF for anyone that has nothing better or more interesting to do. Enjoy...

I have a friend in town that owns Tupelo Trophy, a shop that does all sorts of engraving. A well as hundreds of other things, she made all the custom switch plates for us that we have installed in The Outlaw Oliver. I showed her my plate and she said she could duplicate it. I may let her duplicate mine just to see how it turns out. I'll post a before and after picture when its done.

With lithium batteries and adequate solar, you should be able to last essentially for years.

The price is what it is. The factory sets the price and the dealer’s sell based on the set price. I suppose some dealers might negotiate, but I suspect there’s not much wiggle room.

I, for one, was thrilled to see this trailer resurrected and restored to its original beautiful self. Personally, I thought that the prior owner made a terrible mistake and created something akin to a mud fence. No disappointment here, good work...

We do use them for leveling and have done so since our first Oliver bought back I early 2008. Advice: Chock the tires fore and aft, then unhook the trailer and move the truck. Raise/Lower the front jack first to get the trailer level front to rear. If the trailer is not level side to side, use the jack to raise the low side to level. Then lower the opposite side to stabilize it. Make sure you place a block between the jack foot and the ground. That way when you forget to raise them before driving away, you won’t ruin $1200 worth of jacks. Routinely check the bolt that holds the foot plate to the inner jack tube. If this bolt works loose, you will lose the foot plate that will cost you close to $40 to replace.

We are still on our yearly western sojourn but I have 2 x 300Ah Epoch’s waiting for me at home. If you are using BB’s, I certainly can’t promise you they will fail. But if they do, I can promise you it won’t be in a convenient place.

Our Oliver has outside rear jack switches located on the port and starboard sides as well as duplicate switches for each jack located on the inside of the cabin.

Pebble Flow trailer and Rivian in the wild
ScubaRx replied to taylor.coyote's topic in General Discussion
I can pump 35 gallons of diesel and go pee inside the trailer while Tali walks the dog, goes inside the station for a snack and uses the bathroom and be back up to speed on the interstate in under 15 minutes. I’m then good for at least another 400 miles or until one of the three onboard bladders gets full again. I have no idea how long this would take with an EV and no desire to find out. -
Slow Fresh Water Drain; Dewinterizing
ScubaRx replied to Gliddenwoods's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
Then fill your freshwater tank with clean water and either pump it into the gray tank and then dump or just drain it out onto the ground. That will wash out what small amount of AF that ended up in the fresh water tank. If you want to kill two birds with one stone, add some bleach to the first flush, let it sit for a few hours and then empty the fresh tank. That will sanitize it as well. I’d then flush it again. -
I only have one owner registered in my database as living in Prescott, AZ. What is their last name?
-
A broken or loose connection anywhere in the entire plumbing system will cause a loss of pressure. Begin at the pump. Check connections there and make sure the filter bowl is tight. Work outward from there. If you have an accumulator tank you may need to pressurize it also.

We have traditionally camped at or near these coordinates off Dome Rock Road west of Quartzsite. N 33.642439 W 114.307646 If you're coming into Quartzsite on Interstate 10 from the East (headed West) do not take any of the exits marked Quartzsite. If you do you will likely become snarled in traffic. Instead, continue West on I-10 until you see the Exit 11 - Dome Rock Road sign. Exit to your right and follow the road turning left to go back under the Interstate. Continue on a few hundred feet and turn left onto Dome rock road. You will begin to see folks camped along either side of the road but within 2-3 miles you will be nearing the coordinates I've provided. From there we will be off the right side of the road and you'll just have to look for a group of Oliver's. We should not be too hard to spot. Most of us will be there around the 2nd to 3rd week in January and will likely stay for a couple of weeks. This time frame will allow you to visit the Big Tent show. Hope to see you there. Contact me directly if you need more information.
