These are the correct bearing and seal Part Numbers for all the Elites and the VERY FEW Elite II's that are equipped with 5200 pound axles.

The door "might" unlatch if you failed to close it correctly, but it won't come open while driving down the road, air pressure would keep it from doing so. We have towed ours over 130K miles and none of this has ever happened. If you're worried about it, just lock your door while you drive. I can't see how this is "...a workmanship problem that should have been repaired during the quality check prior to delivery..."

The word on the street is that the 2022 models will come with 5200 pound axles (de-rated to 3500 pounds due to the smaller 4 leaf spring pack.) Disc brakes will either be standard or an option (I'm unclear.) They will have 6 bolt patterns and 12 inch brakes. They will also have never-lube hubs.

I think it's great, I tried to get one of our single daughters to go find him.

He stated in one of his videos that he makes $80K per month off his you tube channel.

Phantom loads can be more insidious than you think. Even if your PL is only 0.4 amps, that's 9.6 amps/day. With the AGM's usable capacity of 200 amps, with no AC power connected and no solar, you will use all this in less than 3 weeks.

On all the units manufactured post 2009, there are inner liners on all the cabinets (except the bathroom and center rear). This will prevent you from (easily) being able to access the inside of the outer hull to mount any kind of backing plate. This curved piece is the inside liner for the cabinets. It is made of fiberglass. This photo is of Hull # 050 taken in 2013 during construction.

Are you comfortable cutting your own hole? I would just ask them to NOT mount the Zamp controller (I agree you should replace it), purchase my own controller and mount the control panel myself.

After seeing your response to JD about how you acquired this hitch, I completely understand that you want to use it. This should be one hell of a hitch and is probably as strong or stronger than 95% of all the hitches pulling Oliver's. That thing will make pulling your new Oliver smooth as butter. Make sure you select a strong stinger (ball mount) and ball to go into it.

Are you looking for a used or new trailer?

Our AC will freeze you out of the trailer.

What brand refrigerator were you using? Are you running on propane or AC. What's the average temperature this time of year in Bac Giang, Vietnam? That may be your problem.

That's a very good looking dog. Is it an English Pointer? We travel with three dogs. We find that in warmer temps, if we need to be away from them for shorter (one to two hours) periods of time it's best to leave them in the trailer with the air conditioner running on the generator. In colder weather, under the same time constraints, we just leave the furnace on low. We've been doing it this way for 13 years and it has never been a problem. Here's Reacher, Rocky and Lucy...

That hitch is fine. It is most certainly overkill for our "little" 6-7K pound trailers. That being said, if you already own it, then use it. I probably would not advise someone to purchase it for this use as I'm reasonably sure it is expensive. Certainly more so than a simpler hitch platform. I'm surprised that your Ford F-250 did not already have a hitch from the factory.

Congrats on your pending Oliver from Hull # 050, The Outlaw Oliver.

I have plenty of genuine Oliver Fiberglass panel that is the perfect thickness that I cut from our propane cover during my mod to create storage behind the propane tanks. If anyone else wants/needs a set let me know via PM.

Mike, I recommend that you plug those vent holes I see peeking through the bottom or you battery tray. I can cut you some fiberglass plugs the right thickness to fit them if you like. Just drop them into the backside of the door and glue with some two-part epoxy. I also recommend insulating the inside of the door with some closed cell foam. I bought one of these at Dicks Sporting Goods. They are exactly the right thickness to fit the inside of the battery hatch. There is enough to insulate the basement hatch also. I used contact cement to attach. Just make yourself a pattern out of heavy construction paper or cardboard and cut to fit.

We have six of the 12 volt ports and ten of the USB ports. Four of the 12 volt ports are in constant use and three of the USB ports always have something plugged into them with an additional two more in almost constant use charging something. I have installed them in places that are handy and, being all about overkill, I want whichever port I need to be within arm's reach. We have a lot of batteries that are constantly being charged, cameras, drone, Go-Pro's, walkies-talkies, etc.

So that's where that white smoke came from... Actually, those wires are not involved in this project, as they are not part of the charger/converter replacement. I do notice in an earlier picture that strand of wire is not there. Perhaps it was an errant clipping that just fell onto the board. Hopefully, it fell off at some point.

They probably have a dab of silicone (type) caulk behind them to "glue" them on. Try harder...

Congrats Sak, from Hull # 050. What do you plan to tow with?

Mike, I have a sheet from Battle Born that outlines every adjustment that needs to made the Blue Sky IPN-Pro for it to work with Lithium Batteries. Takes about 5-10 minutes. You'll also need to replace the charger portion of the PD power center with a PD4045LICSV (45-AMPS). Battle Born has the correct replacement chargers in stock. We also removed all the wiring from the battery box and sealed off the outside vents and insulated the door. From the looks of the wiring in your battery box, you are not getting the full amperage story thru your shunt to the IPN display. I think you could benefit from some modifications.

I also believe your tow vehicle must be matched to the trailer you’ve selected. Buy one that is just “adequate” and I promise you will come to regret it. You really can’t have too much range, power, or capacity.

Just swap sides with the middle two wires.

Sorry to hear that Jeff. I do hope Battleborn will live up to their reputation (and all our expectations) and get you back up and running quickly.
