We’ve only gone from Silverton to Ouray, not the opposite direction. I don’t if Tali would go for that as she would be riding on the edge looking down.

A magnesium anode protects better and lasts longer than Aluminum Anodes. Sacrificial Anodes are used to protect the hulls of ships, water heaters and other metals in contact with water or a dissimilar metal.

How much solar does your trailer currently have? Do you have the Zamp controller?

In the “millions” of threads concerning composting vs standard toilets, I have posted many times about this very issue. There are many things in life that can cause chronic loose stools, from medical conditions to medications.

Yep, the only time you have too much fuel is when you're on fire.

John, Lionshead is the distributor that supplies the already mounted tires and wheels to Oliver. The wheels had a small removable sticker on each one that stated they were made by the company Sumec.

Thank you for a rational resolution with no drama.

AT&T, for years. All over the lower 48, In Western Canada and Alaska.

The axles are not changing.

This is correct.

John, the new wheels will still be 6 bolt on 5.5”.

I took this photo this morning of one of the Elite II’s on the showroom floor. Rodney says this is the tires and wheel’s they will be using on the 2023 models. He did say that their existing stock of 16” wheels and tires will be used first. So, it may be as late as March of ‘23 before the new models will start to be delivered with the new sets.

The axles are not changing. The are no parts available to convert the 3500 pound axles used on the Elite II from drum to disc. It would be possible on the Elite I since it is supplied with a 5200 pound axle.

Fifteen years ago, 16” wheels were used extensively by the automotive industry. Now it’s an oddball size. All the heavy duty trucks are using 18” or 20”. Also at that time you could not buy a heavy duty tire in a 15” size and the ST tire’s being made were all Chinese maypops.

Actually, Michelin quit making the tire they were using. Is your trailer still on the market? This is a non issue for current owners.

We are spending the night at Oliver National Park tonight. We took Anita out to lunch and had dinner tonight with Phil and two of the lovely ladies in his life. Phoenix is adorable as expected. I found out several weeks ago that Oliver had made (what I consider) a major change that will be included in the 2023 models. Today I sat down with some management folks to get the lowdown. As many of you probably know, Goodyear has bought Cooper Tire. Oliver has equipped their new trailers with Coopers for the past few years. Due to the immediate unavailability of the tires they have been using, their only choice was to switch tire companies. During their research they reassessed their needs and goals for running gear. The decision has been made that going forward and starting immediately, both Oliver models will be equipped with 15 inch wheels and tires with a matching spare. The tires will be Goodyear Endurance ST225/75-15’s.

Although I wouldn’t do it, if you want to go cheaper than lithiums, you could just go to AGM’s. But for less than $3K, you can replace the four T-105’s with 3x100 amp hour Battle Born lithium batteries and a new PD charger that’s plug and play. There’s no need to spend $15K. And you’ll end with an extra 100 amp hours over what you currently have.

I just replaced mine, you’ll need four for an Elite II.

Haiduk, the solo project of Luka Milojica is an unrelenting, hypnotic force that greets listeners with a barrage of death-infused black metal that is prominently displayed on the latest release “Diabolica”, which was released in September last year. Yeah, not my cup of tea either.

I believe that was supposed to be “plastic bag”. Or just wrap the positive (red) wire’s terminal with electrical tape to prevent it from inadvertently touching something that’s grounded and releasing the white smoke.

John, I applaud your approach to purchases. I don’t think we’ve yet had the pleasure of actually meeting each other. But those that know me and have seen our truck, probably recognized the tongue in cheek sarcasm of my post. When we meet, you’ll see what I mean.

I like that solution. Simple, easy, cheap and quick.

For everyone posting at this point, please go back and read the entire thread to get you up to speed on what has happened so far. Definitely do not leave the batteries in the tray.

I never buy anything that I don’t absolutely, positively think that I MAY use one of these days.

They were the closest thing to the Michelin RIB’s that originally came installed on our Oliver.
