  1. I just looked at ours and everything should be able to be done from the top. I would find out from Jason what the model number is (please let is know when he tells you) and download the instructions from the internet. The little hot/cold emblem (blue & red) should be a plug that is removable concealing a set screw to allow the handle to be removed. That should allow access to the cartridge. It should be a simple repair but I would download the instructions first.

  2. Great Rally! It was wonderful meeting everyone and putting a face to the screen names. I wish we had more time to meet the people we missed. We also were reintroduced to several people that we had meet back in our Casita days that are now Oliver owners. We live close to Lake Guntersville and had never visited this gem of a park before. What a great park for this rally. Everyone shared a wealth of information with us and their blogs and we are so thankful for all this information. A big thanks to Coy, Foy, Matt, Scott, Vendors, and all the people behind the scenes that made this such a great rally.

  3. Your EMS (surge protector) is probably seeing the generator as a open ground. Look at the display and see if there is a error code. You will need to turn off the EMS at the display under the left side bed in order for the power to pass to the trailer. You will need to get a netural to ground bonding plug and plug into the generator to correct the problem to use the EMS with the generator. Of course bypassing the EMS will leave you unprotected from low or over voltage problems should you have them.

  4. Anyone have any experience with the security coupler lock from Proven Industries . Looks substantial ”I was told model 2178-B will handle the 2 inch Bulldog . Also see a hot item is a Peweg Chain with a Assa High Security Padlock which is run through the wheel holes up around the axle and secured. Not sure if Oliver type wheels have the clearance to run the chain through ?

     

    We have the Proven Ind. lock and so far I like it. Takes a minute to get the hook in it and the Oliver hooks are so big only one will fit.

  5. They do use wood on the bath wall and the wall dividing the closet and bath. They showed it to me during our tour and said its the only wood in the camper. They said they do it because people want to be able to hang stuff on that wall. In ours I can see the wood inside the closet looking up at the speaker cutout. Here is a picture of that wall being set in place.

  6. You can run…. but you can’t HIDE!

    We plan to stay Campfire Lodgings north of Asheville NC on the way down to Lake Guntersville AL.

    So… I did a bit of internet cruising to see what that campground was like.

    I found a youtube video with a drivethrough including the road up to the campsite.

    And in the video…. I noticed an OLIVER!

    Look at the screenshots taken from the video and see if you can identify the Oliver!

    Video was taken around August of 2016.

    I have a pretty good idea of who this is but I will let the forum detectives have first shot.

    Campfire lodgings is a nice place. We have stayed there a couple times.

  7. Our top of ball height on our Anderson hitch is 23.25 and 24.25 on our standard hitch.

     

    We also have a 2016 Tundra but I have installed Sumo springs and with the Anderson there is no drop when hooked up and about 3/4" drop on the standard hitch. Our trailer weights 5260 loaded without any water in tanks and tounge weight is 480.

     

    I was told 23.5 to 24.5 by Oliver.

  8. We were told no on a couple of simple request too. After seeing some crazy mods going on when we took the factory tour and talking about them with Brent I fully understand why they stopped. They were holding up the line big time and had to do something. The Oliver is a great trailer the way it is offered and with the options list they offer it is over the top. Escape also used to do almost any request you could think of and stopped just before we ordered ours for the same reason. They cannot be expected to hold up the line for custom requests that will affect production so for now they have stopped all custom work to concentrate on quality which was fine with me. I was able to get the bath mirror lowered 6" for my wife. :-)

  9. I just received my Dills today, now I have to get them installed. I have no idea how long that will take though, now that I have no way to safely get the tires off the trailer…..

     

    Yeah, well I used the trailer jacks anyway. :-) I used the spare and 1 tire. Had those 2 done and then took the other 2. I had to make 2 trips to the tire shop which took a little longer but that way I left the trailer with at least one wheel on the ground and the jack not holding as much weignt.

  10. A couple notes on the Dill I forgot to mention. The sensors are mounted inside the tire so the tires do have to be removed and rebalanced. Also it comes with a optional external antenna that can be mounted under the tow vehicle and run up into the cab. This is optional but I have found it eliminates any false alarms. False alarms tend to scare the heck out of you because they seem to happen at the worst time in heavy traffic from signal loss. They did not happen often but a couple times was enough for me to install the external antenna.

     

    This extra work would make the Dill system not the ideal system for everybody. Most of the other systems like TST and other described here are much easier to install with screw on sensors.
