That rules out the tv DVD player. I would verify the tv wiring first as it’s easier to get to. Next compare the tv wiring to the stereo wiring, which should be accessible through a port hole in the upper street side cabinet. I’m not familiar with your equipment, but the video signal is probably a HDMI cable. Mossey

The antenna should not have anything to do with the DVD player. It is a little difficult to diagnose without knowing more about your tv and stereo equipment. I will add that my LE2 #193 has 2 DVD players, one in the tv and another in the stereo and we can use either to watch a DVD on the tv. Mossey

Don’t take my word for any electrical source in your Ollie, be sure to verify your own voltage source! Mossey

After you get your axle as built sheet, go to Dexter's website and find the equipment you want or go to a local distributor and let them know what you want to do. FleetPride in Augusta is a Dexter distributor. Mossey

Have you opened the 6" round hatch plate in the cabinet above the microwave and checked the switch wiring? Mossey

Think of the 12V B+ and B- as 2 of the wires in a CAT5 cable, if data doesn’t get from the server to my desktop, what is the IT Department going to do about it. Verify the output of the server and the input at the jack in my cube. Look for the break or run a new CAT5 cable. Your picture below has been marked up to show where the 12V power connects to the refrigerator in my Ollie. Yours may or may not be the same. Does your fan switch have power in and out? If so and the power does not’+**get to the fan, I would run a temporary B+ jumper from the output of the fan switch to the in put of the fan. Does the fan work with the jumper? If so, there is a break in the in the original B+. I don’t think that the original B+ wire is at fault and it is probably the thermostat switch which is located in between the on/off switch and the fan as @jd1923 mentioned. Try following the B+ wire from the fan back to the on/off switch, you should be able to locate the thermostat. When you locate the thermostat, disconnect it and put a jumper between the input and output of the thermostat. My original thermostat had male spade connections and the jumper I used was about 6" of wire with female spade connectors crimped on. If the on/off switch now works, you can replace the thermostat or just use the on/off switch to control the fan, although a thermostat works much better and saves 12V power. And forget about removing the refrigerator or microwave, just run new wire. Mike Mossey

New axles may not fit all older sub-frames
mossemi replied to Wayfinder's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
I found the SN engraved on the rear side of the axle near the center. Take a damp rag and a flashlight with you and wipe the axle down, it should be visible. Mine was close to where the label used to be. Mossey -
Looks like you found a solution to your issue!

I have had similar results while trying to watch downloaded video without an internet connection. I have not tried using my phone as a hotspot, connecting my iPad with the downloaded video to my phone and then trying to watch it. Mossey

Elite 1 - What are the Solar Panel Dimensions?
mossemi replied to Dirt Duff's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
No center support, but the 2 panels are bolted to together along the length. Mossey -
Elite 1 - What are the Solar Panel Dimensions?
mossemi replied to Dirt Duff's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
It is 1” x 1” angle or L shaped. The solar panels are 58-3/8" x 26-3/8” and the angle aluminum is 26" long in the front and rear, centered so that there is 13” of angle on each panel and fitting between each of the stainless steel roof mounts. The angle is attached to each panel with two 1/4" machine screws that are about 1-1/2” long and a nylon lock nut. Mossey -
New axles may not fit all older sub-frames
mossemi replied to Wayfinder's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
It took awhile, but I finally found pictures of my axle label and although I had several pictures I wondered why they all had the same serial number. I went under the Ollie and found that I only had 1 label and it was on the rear axle. I then found the engraved SN for the front axle and it was the same as the rear, which I thought was weird. So I emailed that information to Dexter asking for an as built sheet and if tandem axles should have the same SN. Dexter sent back a single build sheet and never addressed my question about the same SN on both axles. So the question that I now have is if anyone else has the same SN's on both axles and if that is Dexter's standard practice? The attachment is for 2017 LE2 #193 which has the original suspension equipment Mossey ö -

The 2 Zamp panels on our 2017 LE2 are 160 watt panels. They are joined together with aluminum angle front and rear. Mossey -

The value of 55.0" is a typo, correct? Mossey -
I pulled our 2017 LE2 with a 2014 LC for 6 years and always used an Andersen WD hitch because the 2014 LC owners manual specified that any tongue weight over 500 lbs. required one. We bought the LC in 2016 because I wanted to order an Ollie in 2018, it was our 4th Toyota, its load capacity was 8,100 lbs. and it was a SUV. The fact that it needed a WD hitch was not an issue and never was. We now tow with a F-150 and still use the Andersen WD hitch, because it’s required and I don’t think I know any more that the engineers at Toyota or Ford do about the capabilities of their trucks, so I embrace their recommendations.

I’m sure you’ve heard that necessity is the mother of invention. Nice solution to your challenge. Mossey -
I remember we helped @Ken_Judy replace their rear street side leaf spring at the 2022 rally. Do you know if the street or curb side is the most prevalent side for a failure? Mossey

Thank you! @Gliddenwoods asked the question about increased hight and it caused me to wonder while I was at my keyboard. And now a question for all of the Dexter axle spec sheet interpreters, please see the attachment.

I may have missed this fact in this great 17 pages and growing post, does Alcan make a 4 leaf spring pack that would also work for a LE2 and still be a capacity upgrade? Mossey

I’m not quite sure that OTT created any defect. It seems to me that Chris's 2016 LE2 was built to the axle specifications used on his trailer and have been in service for about 8 years without any problems. Mossey -
