  1. This same question occurred to me when viewing the photo of the bus bar. Cars and trucks use color-coded wiring harnesses. Why does a high-end travel trailer not do the same? Does Oliver still use the same yellow low-voltage wire for all connections?
  2. I, too, would like to know if there has been a resolution from Oliver to the drawer slide screws tearing out, and the "drawer latches allowing the drawers to open." We have an Elite II on order, and I am interested to learn if Oliver is "beefing up" the mounting system, the latches, or both.
  3. We, too, are evaluating upgrades and add-ons. Our Elite II is in the queue. The kind neighbor who showed us her Elite II advised that she went with the 20 lb. tanks because it was hard for her to lift full 30 lb. tanks over the tank enclosure. As I have bilateral rotator cuff tears that limit my ability to lift heavy stuff above my waist, we are presently planning to stick with the 20s but carry a spare 20 for our dual fuel generator in the bed of our Tundra tow vehicle. The choice to haul a spare 20 also informs our present choice to forgo the extra propane outlets. We plan to also use the spare 20 for a gas grill, as that will not require a long hose if the campsite table is not close to the parking pad, and will not use up the fuel in the trailer tanks. I welcome input on these issues from the many Oliver veterans whose previous posts on numerous topics have proven so valuable to us! Ralph Pond
  4. My wife and I have an Elite II standard floor plan on order. We chose the standard floor plan for two reasons: (1) it allows a 75"x79" king bed with no night stand in the middle and (2) when we recently toured an Elite II with the twin bed floor plan, we both felt a bit cramped lying on one of the twin beds, which the owner graciously allowed us to try. I am a big guy and one shoulder hung off the side of the twin. Not o.k. for me. We plan to use the Elite II for just the two of us, and so will exclusively use the dinette area for meals, reading, etc., leaving the king bed "permanently" made up. Hope this helps your decision.
