San Antonio F350 service recommendation?
Galway Girl replied to Galway Girl's topic in Towing an Oliver
Thanks. I’ve scheduled at Cavender Ford which is 1.5 miles from the Alamo koa in San Antonio and has shuttle service for the day. I’ll report back later on how it went. -

On the road at Kartcher cavern SP in AZ. Since we are here for a week, I decided to Replace all tires and installed 4 new shocks at 50k miles. At same time checked springs for wear /cracks and re-lubed all Zerks. The tires had simply aged out but one in particular had an odd scalloping wear pattern. (Cause was a slightly loose bearing castle nut on that right/front wheel.) The shocks were getting a bit rusty and I decided to change as prevention. ( All 4 seemed functional upon removal.) Since the original tires were 16” LT Michelin, I stuck with the brand and now run: Michelin Agilis Cross Climate LT225 /75 R16 115R E1 BSW Shock replacement is: Monroe Magnum RV 555001 I was able to get the tires at a local Discount Tire in Sierra Vista. ( took 3 in one day and 2 the next as we had chores in town. ) Ordered shocks online and shipped to my sisters who we visited on the way here. Shocks went on quickly once the unit was jacked up so suspension was hanging. All set for the next stage of our trip where we will meet up with several owners at Ladybird Johnson for the Eclipse.

in case folks wonder about the data on receiver hitch. Here are two labels from trucks we’ve pulled out EII with. The F150 required the Anderson Hitch, the F350 has plenty of margin and automatic auto-sway control so no sway or load leveler hitch needed. F150 Hitch Label F350 Hitch Label

Starlink dish mount on Dometic awning brackets
Galway Girl replied to RoadKingsofGA's topic in Ollie Modifications
An alternate method for Dometic awning is to mark and drill 2 holes farther down the mounting rails. Then usea thread tap to make threaded holes then bolt on the Starlink holder as shown below. this creates a low profile for the mount. -
We’re 505, 999 ahead of you. Wonder who will be 1000 (hull 1505). craig

I’ve recently had an issue with the wiring on my ARE Canopy. It took a lot of emails and time with ARE to share the wiring diagram for the lights. Thought I would share here just in case any Oliver owner needs the info. ARE directs buyers through the dealer network for parts and info like this. Each dealer is pot luck on support and trying to attain a simple diagram was a major feat, especially while traveling. To get a response, I had to share the SN of the canopy, show receipts of part orders from a dealer before ARE sent the diagram. The replacement parts are not shipped with any instructions or indication as what connects to what and caused me 3 weeks of delay. I appreciate Oliver support more each day.

Oliver batteries not charging with generator
Galway Girl replied to chiwald's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
As a safety check as you contact Oliver. There have been a few of those under the dinette transfer switches that failed due to loose wiring connections inside and had thus melted internal wiring. Transfer relay wires can wiggle loose and cause the switch to toggle back and forth when power is applied. To check, you would need to disconnect from shore power and generator, then open the transfer switch box to check if its connections are tight and no smoked wiring. -
Simple AGM to Lithium Conversion question(s)
Galway Girl replied to Danno and Donna's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
I was able to re-use 2 (+) cables that were on the batteries and those coming into the battery bay from the inside connections. I had to make 2 new ground cables for the battery as they were farther apart for the new batteries. I also added a common bus bar for all grounds as I installed a Victron smart shunt for measuring battery bank status. -
Simple AGM to Lithium Conversion question(s)
Galway Girl replied to Danno and Donna's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
In this blog post I cover the many aspects of a Agm to lithium conversion including a discussion of the 7 pin wire disconnection and dc-dc converter installation. Hope it’s of some use. https://4-ever-hitched.com/ggs-blog/f/lithium-battery-upgrade Craig -
Friction Hinges - Lippert - Another quick mod.
Galway Girl replied to Ty J's topic in Ollie Modifications
Thanks for the tips. Did the mod today in < 30 minutes. I used a 5/32" bit instead of the 11/64" the instructions suggested as having a bit more metal for the self tappers to bite into was needed. Here's my blog post including details. https://4-ever-hitched.com/ggs-blog/f/adding-friction-door-hinges-for-wind-protection Craig
