You tell him! 🤪. That’s what a daily wipedown with disinfectant is for. Still trying to train him (it’s only been ten yrs). I am delusional that I am making progress.

Covered litter box goes underneath dinette, against the hull. My cat loves to travel. Here is a picture of Tommy Lee attentively watching Sandhill cranes in Willcox, AZ

You may find success by re-graining the stainless finish on your existing sink using red and/or gray scotch brite hand pads. I did this with great success on a stainless oven door which had been heavily scuffed during transport. Looked like new after application of some elbow grease. https://specialtystainless.com/tips-stainless-steel-countertops/articles-about-stainless-steel-countertops/graining-blending/

Lagun mount

Table and swingarm get stored in truck. Upright mounting plate is bolted to pelican case so it can be adjusted up and down.

V.2 Updated outdoor Hitchen to house my camp stove and propane hose as well as attach a Lagun table. Like several of us, I prefer to cook outside and digging my camp stove and table out of the back of the truck can be a pain. Hoping this latest version will work well. The use of a Pelican case as a outdoor kitchen is popular in the overlanding community and should be easier to setup and stow than pulling cooking gear from the back of the truck. A pair of cables will be installed on the lid of the case so it rests parallel to the ground and can act as a surface upon which the stove can sit while cooking. Last image is the from a overlanding site. For those wondering why I don’t use the rear receiver to haul bikes, well I did this in the past but found that with a dog I would rather be on foot with her than on wheels without her. I also prefer not to cook inside the trailer as I detest cleanup of cooking residue (yes, I am lazy).

No drinking or cooking from on board water tank. Wont even use it for filling pet water dishes.

Perhaps you have already tried hooking up the Oliver to your Ram or a friend’s tow vehicle that has a known, working brake controller? It may be too late to try this as a definitive test as you have made several changes to the trailer wiring. I had a similar issue when hooking my Dodge Ram to my car hauler and the brakes would not work, yet worked when hooked-up to another trailer. Brakes on both subject trailers worked when hooked-up to my Toyota Tundra. I put a new brake controller on the Ram and the issue has not returned. It’s worth a try. Hate to see you fire sale your Ollie if the problem might be with your tow vehicle.

Saw a grey/white E2 heading West on I80 in Nebraska today (grey top/white bottom). Best-looking E2 I have ever seen. If this was you, how did you achieve the solid grey on the top clamshell (wrap, paint, gel coat)?

The cat did it!

You are not alone in enjoying the way light bounces across the Oliver interior.

The pair of PR4 springs I got to replace my failed stock springs and limp home last year had the same size bushings as my old 1,750 stock springs. Perhaps yours are different?

Which bushings do your 2,600 lb PR4 springs have?

Yes. While I.D. Remains the same as stock, the bushing wall thickness on the Alcan is greater than the dexter ( Alcan is bottom in attached photo while stock dexter-supplied spring is on top).

I replaced two springs on the same axle at a campground after one broke and the other was failing. Took 4 hrs using the onboard rear “stabilizers” and a bottle jack. Found a pair of springs at a local rv shop. Once I made it home I replaced all four with Alcan 5-leafs and never looked back. 10,000+ trouble-free miles on the Alcans. It can be done if you have the tools. PM me and I am happy to talk you thru the process.
