We’ve had an indoor switch for the electric side of the water heater in our Oliver since day one, over 10 years ago.

You think it's hard with the regular beds, try it with the raised beds. Back in 2015 while sitting out in the AZ desert on my first long boondocking trip, I didn't think of a deck plate, still too much trouble, but of installing motorized valves. All the valves move in concert, flip a switch one way--Boondocking Aux Fill, Flip it back--Normal operation. Don't leave home without it.

They should be an exact fit.

These are the best deal I found and it took me a couple of years to find them. They are solid stainless steel. No outer sheath. Seat is perfect and they look great. $3.67 each.

Here is a link to my project to add storage behind the propane tanks. I had to move my tanks forward somewhat to get as much room as possible. This has been made harder now with their mounting of a junction box in front of the tanks. I did this sometime in mid 2016. After seeing this post apparently there were requests made to Oliver and they asked my permission to copy what I had done. I believe this was done to a few trailers, possibly John Davies' trailer

Twelve hundred extra dollars is about what Tali and I spend eating out every month. Big Whoop.

Or the only recourse for some.

I would not worry about it. Just remove the tanks and the all-thread rod and if your floor is not already covered, you will have to build a floor and depending on what you plan to carry in that area, you will have to decide if you want the floor to be solid and sealed. If that is not necessary to your needs, I would suggest using expanded wire. if your circumstances become dire enough and you find yourself in a situation where you need propane, you can just go buy a 20 pound tank at one of the exchange stations. That way you don’t have to carry it around if you don’t need it. It does sound like you haven’t needed propane in several years so the chances of a future need should the relatively slim. You can also remove the regulator for the tanks and just cap the line. This would make it easy to return to OEM status for a future owner.

So this trailer would qualify as currently the one with the lowest Hull Number still on the road. It's delivery date was 01-07-2008 and it was sold for just under $30K. Tony Hodgson is not the first owner.

The grease fitting ends are all the same but the thread sizes differ. Some are SAE, some are metric. Take one with you when you go to buy the new ones.

I wonder if this is why I’ve seen the diesel’s here with towels stuffed into their exhausts.

Organize one. They’re a lot of work.

Trojan T105’s are not AGM’s. They are flooded lead acid that must be meticulously maintained (checking specific gravity, adding water, if needed) for you to get the maximum life out of them. AGM’s, on the other hand, are still flooded lead acid, but you are unable to add water to them, as they are sealed, and the acid is absorbed in a glass mat. AGM’s. require much less maintenance and we got seven years out of our first set before changing to three Battle Born Lithium‘s. AGM’s can still vent hydrogen gas if they are overcharged. The biggest downside to this is you can’t replace the liquid that is boiled off.

With appropriate maintenance, I would expect the bearings to last decades. Your original bearings are of what came in the axles supplied by Dexter to Oliver. To the best of my knowledge, Oliver doesn’t actually have a dog in that race.

Drive safely, be careful and come back home alive.

These boxes are absolutely top of the line. Jim Oliver swore by them.

Tow vehicle for LEII?

Possibility of death

We've never been into boats. Don't particularly like the water or the beach. But, this thread has gotten me to thinking. If I take up something new, I like to go all in. No messing around and trying to just "get by." This boat has recently come on the market and we are seriously considering it. It looks pretty good, comes with two helicopters, 60 foot tender, 10 man submarine (yellow, of course), a bunch of smaller boats and watercraft and several land vehicles on board. Hey @bugeyedriver, you want a job flying one of the helicopter's, includes free room and board. I really believe there would be plenty of room on board for all I like to take with me, plus about 100 or so of my buddies. If we do plan to tow it, I'm gonna need a bigger truck, might go up to a 7500. Hey, don't laugh it's no more ludicrous that pulling an LEII with a Tacoma. At least the 7500 actually has 4 wheel disc brakes. I wonder if Foy would like to redo the woodwork on it.

The yearly Oliver Owner's Rally in Guntersville traditionally starts during the week after Mother's day. Then there is the Oliver Rally in Maine that is (this year) in early June. I don't know if there is a set time for that Rally each year but this is the third year in a row it has been held. You will not want to come too close to either the Guntersville or Maine Rally or the owners that would like to attend both won't have time to get from one to the other. Oliver spends a lot of money putting on or sending staff to the Rally's so you would not want to interfere with that. We plan to attend both the Rally's this year. We would come to yours also if the time it is held didn't obstruct getting to the other two. Distance traveled is not a problem for us. We enjoy being with other owners.

What time of the year are you planning on having it?

That's cheating...

Will you be at the Maine Oliver Rally in June?

We had a 2008 Elite with one the very few twin bed setups. We pulled it all over the US, up to Maine and twice to California. You've got a good setup.
