You guys are way smart. When I purchase my Oliver LEII soon, I must rely on the factory to install Easy Start correctly because I certainly don't know how. No problem - all it takes is money. Question - with the Easy Start, solar option, battery upgrade, inverter, and practically every other upgrade, will I be able to start and run the AC on battery power? If so, what are the concerns? I recently purchased a Honda EU2200i (still in the box) and will use it with Easy Start to run AC, but, there may be times it is more convenient to simply run on battery. Thoughts?

Excellent response regarding running AC with small generator - thank you.

Just bought a Honda 2200i generator inverter. Been told with the Micro-Easy Start this will power up and run the Elite Legacy II AC system. My question (and I realize I am showing my ignorance), will the other appliances, water heater, and lights run too while the AC is being powered by the Honda generator? Maybe the other stuff runs on batteries and gas while the generator runs the AC?

I am considering the composting toilet upgrade and very much interested in your advice

Added a PDF version of my MS Excel LE II upgrade wish list and welcome opinions regarding items on this list. Seems I have pretty much added all the possible upgrades to my "wish list". Definitely sold on the solar and battery upgrades, cell and WiFi boosters, propane attachments, and upgraded countertops. Now leaning toward Anderson hitch for added safety, unless it introduces unwanted hassle (I am not familiar with how they operate but will certainly research them - forums, YouTube and internet make research so much easier).

As I research and get closer to pulling the trigger on my first travel trailer, the Oliver Legacy Elite II, I am struggling with upgrades and add-ons. My tow vehicle will be a 2015 Toyota Tundra, Limited, 5.7L V8, 4WD. I am confident this will pull the trailer but I do not know if the optional Anderson No-Sway Hitch is needed. As a newbie to the travel trailer scene, I have no experience with swaying and bouncing of this trailer in tow. Please offer advice if the Anderson No-Sway Hitch is something I should include. Thus far, I have selected options that potentially add almost $15K to the base price of $53,900 (see attached Excel sheet). I welcome comments and suggestions pertaining to all items on my upgrade "wish list". Will be retiring next year and hope to hit the road shortly after. To minimize aggravation and lessen worry in my retirement, I am willing to purchase upgrades if makes sense to do so. Also, I am looking for recommendations to remove upgrades from my list that do not make sense. For example, I removed the Lagun Table from my wish list after reading a regret about that particular upgrade and the possibility of a folding table being a better option. I am not particularly "handy" so some home-made solutions to avoid upgrades may not be in my bag of tricks. I really do appreciate the videos from you expert trailer folks - almost makes this do-it-yourself stuff look fairly easy and doable. Pricing-Oliver-Legacy-Elite-II.xlsx

Excellent - download worked; thanks - great checklist

I can download the jpg, but not the Word doc (probably my error). Might you post the PDF so maybe I can download that file? Thanks

Not yet a travel trailer owner, but plan to purchase in one year upon retirement. My main considerations are ease of towing, parking, setup, use. In other words, my thinking large, spacious 5th wheels and slide outs too much handling and increased opportunity for problems. So, my research has pointed me toward Oliver Legacy Elite II or a moderate size Airstream (26ft or so). Would appreciate hearing from you experienced travelers. I have no problem paying extra for less hassle and few problems - my vision for retirement is calmness and relaxation - hope to leave aggravation behind. Living in the South, AC is important.
