If the Progressive Industries EMS did not allow power to flow, I would be very reluctant to bypass it. It did exactly what it was supposed to do. Also, just because it’s a new campground doesn’t necessarily mean it’s wired correctly.

As most of you have figured out, the Outlaw Oliver’s axles are the larger 5200 lb. I suppose Oliver chose the six bolt pattern so that all wheels would fit either size trailer. Just a guess.

What a novel way to set things up. For warm weather use it's ideal. We essentially do the same thing to conserve gray tank capacity except that we take the showers inside and just let the gray water drain out as we go. Looks great.

Noise from Progressive Dynamics Power Center
ScubaRx replied to Townesw's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
Did PD give you any insight on what was going on? -
So what’s your decision? I really can’t imagine owning anything less than an Oliver. Oh wait, that’s everything else.

Check your window shade clip screws
ScubaRx replied to Townesw's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
Good work, a simple and easy fix. Thanks for the heads up. I need to check ours to see if any of them need attention. Think maybe I’ll get around to rotating the window shades at the same time. -
Yes, with the key.

I installed disk brakes on our Oliver over a year ago. It is some work but not beyond doing for someone that has tools and the inclination. So as to not hijack this thread you can read about that venture here. http://olivertraveltrailers.com/topic/mods-of-the-outlaw-oliver/page/3/?wall_post=34117 Follow up on performance after about 25K Miles. No issues whatsoever. Disks are still perfectly smooth x 4. No fluid loss anywhere.

It seems as if the problem of inadvertent openings and too short screw failures started around the time of the switch from the side slides to the bottom slides. Our old hull #050 has the side slides and I can’t imagine the lateral forces it would take to make them open in a right hand turn. Our rear nightstand drawer has come open (understandably) during a hard braking action, but that was solved with a turn latch like the ones on all the other doors. Those bottom slides probably are the best there is in a static situation (like your kitchen at home), but perhaps not so much in a dynamic setting.

Good question, but it would really depend on the time of year and the area of the country you travel. John didn’t mention the south but, because of the heat, humidity plus the fact that kids are out of school, we don’t generally camp here between May and October. If we do, we use the AC sometimes but probably not nearly as much as folks from more northerly climes might suspect. We’ve been out for the past month and have probably used the AC fewer than 24 total hours. If your question was designed to help you decide whether to include an air conditioner, I would most assuredly recommend it. You WILL need it sometimes, and when you do, nothing else will work.

Nick, thanks for the very informative post, but if you read really close, you’ll notice this thread is about generators.

There is a promise that I (and I believe most owners) would be comfortable making to any prospective owner... “You will never be sorry you bought an Oliver”
-
Yes, you are correct, access to the tubing is gained from the inside of the trailer. Sorry I was not clear enough.

Fender problem with larger rims/tires and E-Z Flex
ScubaRx replied to Foy_Mirna's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
The steel subframe is mounted to the aluminum main frame with bolts going from one side to the other rather than top to bottom. When the body is dropped onto the frame it covers the two front most and the two rear most bolts precluding simply “unbolting” the sub frame. However, it could be accomplished by detaching and supporting the body then lowering and removing the entire frame from underneath. The subframe could then be relocated on the main frame and the process reversed. But an easier and far less costly fix would be to simply rework the rear edges of the fender skirts to give the proper clearance. -

ScubaRx replied to Foy_Mirna's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
Our 2014 (hull # 050) came with Michelin XPS RIB LT225/75R16’s. What is the current standard tire size? -
I was not referring to removing items, rather going inside for mods or maintenance. I guess it’s just me. I’ve been in there dozens of times for various reasons.
-
There are two catchment tub’s, one on either side of the air-conditioner bottom, joined in the middle with a tee. From there one tube leads to the bottom of your Oliver.

Will the cargo door still fold completely down? If not it would make it virtually impossible to crawl into the basement without damaging the hatch.

Check your hose attachment fittings
ScubaRx replied to Townesw's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
These are the same fittings that Oliver has been using since 2008. The fitting is designed to come apart apparently so you can replace the outer assembly without removing the entire fitting. -
It appears that some people aren’t as excited to get theirs as I was. Some of them have been sitting there for months.

Since I'm the only owner from Mississippi flying our Official State Flag, I assume this is aimed at me. Please let me know where the problem lies.

No, just like yours and everyone else. I don't have an explanation, just an observation.
