  2. I am extremely disappointed to read this news for so many reasons. This has really caught us by surprise. 😕
  3. @Wandering Sagebrush It appears you own a Super Duty. I chose Lively Machine - https://www.livelymachine.com/custom crafted “ROCK STOPPERs” for our F350 Super Duty. Here is why: *Appearance *Excellent Fit and finish *Ease of install and removal *Zero concerns with hardware loosening *Custom direct fit into my existing OEM receiver sides. *All aluminum and S/S hardware. *Black powder coated aluminum tubing *Anti sail weighted flaps. *Most importantly excellent coverage and protection for the front of “XPLOR”. Just another option. Safe Rock Stopping Travels!
  4. @mossemi Or maybe here. Viewer warning. Once you start watching the shredder it’s difficult to stop. 😊
  5. Now congrats on your second Oliver in the family! 😊
  6. Update - Just spoke with Derek at HM he said they are still working on an LP conversion kit for the 3200i. Maybe 6 months out? I am on the order list when they have the product ready to go.
  7. Tim, I have not. If I locate one, I will post up!
  8. @Jim and Frances Great topic! I carry a generator and use this gentent when needed. It’s completely a 💯 flawed thinking anyone can run a generator in wet rainy weather or worse a down pour and think you are not risking exposure to electrocution. I have a genttent for my eu3200i which packs up neatly in its own case. Gentent has a size to accommodate most if not all small generators. I have found their products to be very well made and stellar customer service. These covers do allow the heat and exhaust to escape as well. I don’t think you would be disappointed with their products. I always carry our Suitcase 3200i as I never know when I may need it. I like options! 😊 Safe Travels and Safe Camping! https://www.gentent.com/portable-generators/?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwkuqvBhAQEiwA65XxQOuiS48IwDd6Ba6rANslI6McAtpX8x_2MgSv5Aw_t6Vit76GDP6irRoCmCoQAvD_BwE
  9. We only color in the states we camped overnight in.😊
  10. Yes, Ravelco can be installed on late model push button start Super Duty Trucks.
  11. So a 5000# BD hitch was installed where a 7000# BD hitch should have been installed. Sounds like the cause of failure/issue has been identified. I have not heard or read where any 7000# BD hitch has failed on an Oliver LEll. That said, all owners would be wise to periodically inspect their hitches for proper the weight rating and serviceability especially if you purchased an older preowned Oliver. Other than this I will continue towing with 💯 complete confidence in my present 7000# rated BD hitch. I feel sure Oliver will address this issue with any owners IF they have a 5000# BD on their LEll and make it right. Again, glad you and your family are safe.
  12. Welcome to the forum! Lots of info and owner knowledge and experience to learn from here. If you have time take the Oliver factory tour. Patriot🇺🇸
  13. Mike, Wow. First and foremost glad you and your family are ok. Seeing the failure of your BD hitch is scary and deeply concerning to say the least. Oliver Service and the manufacturer of the Bulldog hitch should be made aware of this failure as soon as possible. This failure could have resulted in a really bad accident in so many ways. As others have mentioned take lots of photos, as every picture tells a story. As time allows, please keep us posted on any further details if and when you learn the possible cause of this failure. Again, most importantly, so glad you and your family are safe. Patriot🇺🇸
  14. All good points Max. Just maybe if Alcan gets more orders and sales on board of the Oliver 5 spring pack they will consider increasing their warranty past 90 days. 👍🏻😊 Based on the very low number of leaf spring failures a spare is likely the way forward for us. Especially that we recently had Oliver install the new 5200# never lube axles and all new shocks, springs and EZ flex installed last Oct. The good news is the 2 owners I know of older OLE2s with original Oliver installed 5 leaf packs have never had a failure. You gotta do you! 😊 Cheers and Onward! Patriot🇺🇸
  15. Congratulations Doug and Jill on Hull# 1491. Enjoy your delivery day and wishing you all the best in your travels!
  16. If anyone’s custom shop is that good there should be no reason why they can’t stand behind their product 💯% with a very solid 3-5 year warranty. Mike at Alcan told me he has been in business 40 years and they have never had a broken leaf spring returned. A 90 day warranty is honestly laughable on custom suspension leaf springs costing over $700.00. Agree with @CRM stand behind your product if it’s as good as stated. Gotta have some skin in the game and up the warranty. Just an observation.
  17. @CRM yes, I agree. Mike seems like a super nice guy while speaking with him on the phone yesterday. He is proud of his company and products. Per my notes from yesterday, Mike quoted me $742.68 plus a $75.00 shipping (estimate) to my zip code via UPS. Seems a little bit of a price increase from what @MAX Burner buyers order/receipt quote shows. I presently have a 5 yr or 100k warranty on my new 5200# axles and leaf springs through dexter. I think I will stay in a holding pattern for now.
  18. Hey Max, I spoke to Mike at Alcan yesterday and asked him several questions and also what his warranty is on these leaf packs? He said 90 days. Just passing this along for anyone interested in these leaf packs.
  19. That’s my younger looking me. 😂
  20. We spotted 13 Olivers in one day. 😄
  21. In looking at this and keeping all things in perspective, Oliver has now produced 1500 plus trailers and a smaller percentage of these being Elite 1 models. If my quick math is correct it tells me that the leaf spring failure rate of let’s say (10 trailers) as noted by @ScubaRx is approximately less than 1% or 0.67%. Of course no one wants this type of failure ever. I will wait and see what Oliver recommends or if they put out a safety bulletin. I feel sure Oliver will address this issue given the safety concerns. Following.
