  1. Hoping for the best for all BB owners.
  2. If you follow that cut wire back you'll eventually find an in line automotive style 1 AMP fuse in a holder nearer to the area where the 12v lines go to buss bars etc (Under the street side bed). It's that fuse you could have pulled instead of cutting the wire. You may have inadvertently popped that fuse. Hope you find the fuse and that it helps. (This is a 2019 trailer so your wiring may be different.)
  3. I checked AC out yesterday, the version they sell is the 262K BTU version (bottom in data sheet)GR-9994. Amazon has the GR-9984 with 345,000 BTU version (top of data sheet) for about $95 and E-Trailer $125 or so...
  4. It can happen more often in colder weather. Try turning off gas, unscrew side you were using to release gas and reattach and turN back on. See if sound goes away. If not consider another regulator. ai answer: Common "Normal" Causes Diaphragm Vibration: The most common cause is the rubber diaphragm inside the regulator vibrating as it moves to maintain steady gas pressure. This is generally harmless if there is no gas odor. Environmental Factors: Outside temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure can cause internal components to resonate or vibrate more than usual. High Gas Flow: If you are running multiple burners or a high-output appliance, the increased volume of gas rushing through the small internal orifice can create a high-pitched noise. Low Tank Level: In some cases, a tank that is nearly empty can cause the regulator to hum as it struggles to maintain pressure. When to Take Action If You Smell Gas: A high-pitched "hissing" accompanied by a rotten egg smell indicates a gas leak. Shut off the tank valve immediately and evacuate the area. Poor Performance: If the noise is paired with weak, yellow, or flickering flames, the regulator may be failing and need replacement. Overfilled Tank: If the sound started immediately after a refill and is accompanied by a gurgling noise, the tank may be overfilled, putting excess strain on the regulator.
  5. FYI We updated our web page with pix and campground maps from our Fall trip (Sept-Dec): Sept-Dec 2025 Trip on Loneliest HWY, Alcan Springs, Grand Canyon & More We've also started planning our trip (Red Lines) to the Oliver Rally in October along with stops at NP and Quilt Shops (Missouri Star) and Ft. Wilderness. Craig & Rose
  6. Mike, Please turn a ticket in to Oliver Support as category of structural failure/battery box. My repair has held since 2022 when I turned in the ticket. I followed specific Oliver instructions on my repair as I was too far from the Factory for a repair. I've also had Oliver inspect each time I go back for service...and so far it's held in place. Craig
  7. Really imitated the Airstream 23' rear bath front twin unit. I noticed the roughness of the cabinet cutouts while they were showing off the storage......and how thin the facia panel is...this could be an issue for owners. Given they said this is a "production model" I'll bet they will need to put some type of corner moulding around the openings (to keep cuts off of hands) or some other way to reinforce the narrow remaining pillars. Once one of those cracks there will be no easy fix.
  8. The shocks are bulldog shocks. Bulldog HD Shock Absorber Replaces 555001 For Trailer Leaf Spring Retro Kit They were ordered on-line for around $145 from 4 state trucks. 19-050000007: Bulldog HD Shock Absorber Replaces 555001 For Trailer Leaf Spring Retro Kit
  9. We had the 4 leaf alcans put on in October and they are a great upgrade. They also gave me the extra leaves in case I wanted to add them in the future. I also replaced shocks and equalizer at the same visit an it only took Alcan 3 hours. Craig
  10. I know other Oliver owners (Chuck and Kathy) living in Prescott. Have you connected?
  11. Merry Christmas

  14. I've also written a BLOG post for the Alcan Experience: The Alcan Experience Craig
  15. Just had Alcan redo our Hull 505 with new springs. Here's a video showing how they make the springs...starting at 1:14 mark for about 2 minutes.
  16. Just learned from Lew that Oliver is testing 4 spring 2250lb rated springs for 2026 model year.
  17. We saw a red & orange stripe Oliver EII with Red Pickup today on I70 Westbound 2 miles from Utah border at about 11am Tuesday 10/4
  18. Just had Alcan redo our Hull 505 with new springs. Here's a video showing how they make the springs...starting at 1:14 mark for about 2 minutes. After a spring replacement with an Alcan 4spring pack we need to retorque nuts. Q) What size sockets are needed to tighten all the nuts after a spring replacement from Alcan? A) Here is the detail from Alcan: You need a 22mm or 7/8” socket and 150ft-lb torque wrench for Ubolts and inside shackle bolts Use a 21mm or 13/16” as backer wrench or standard depth socket on nuts outside of shackle. Mileages: Retorque u-bolts & shackles at 50mi, 100 mi and 500miles after installation, then yearly check. Torques Values: U-Bolts 90 ft-lbs Shackles: 65 ft-lb (Note - use 21mm or 13/16” backing wrench on outside of shackles) Also check lug nuts to wheel specs at each interval as well.

  21. In our 2019 factory installation the cell amp is mounted on the left wall of the cabinets above the dinette. This has an access port inside the upper part (right side) of the pantry, but the wires dive down a run along the back channel of the shelf forward to power switch and the antenna runs back through a hole into the pantry . The cell boost antenna is a magnet mount on the street side top rear of the roof.
  22. Unity Reservoir -Oregon Electric & Water Sites Great spot to watch migratory birds. Bookable on Oregon State Parks
  23. Welcome As 2019 year owners we are willing to help with questions you may have. see our blog about our unit 505 4-ever-hitched.com Craig
  24. After cleaning and burnishing I was told by Jason to cut a light criss cross pattern in the block and mounting point as well ( I used a vibrating saw with metal cutting blade) . Light cuts not too deep. Then I cleaned again & let dry. its held tight for 3 years so far.
  25. Sorry we’re not home in Everett to meet you. If the clinton to Mukilteo ferry is in your plans, consider lunch at Ivars in the Mukilteo waterfront. When exiting the ferry take a right into the hwy, then a quick left at the next light into the waterfront park parking. You could have lunch at ivars ir visit the scuttle but brew pub. We are in Hells Gate State park today.
