  1. We've been using a loctite marine product, with good results, for a number of years.
  2. With all new changes, and methods, there is definitely a risk. My experience with the Oliver family is that those risks are weighed carefully, and thoroughly. I was not excited, initially, about the new dealer plan, but I see it as a way forward for growth, and extended service, throughout the US, for them, and all of us.
  3. Oliver cental is going to be open for pickup, from my understanding. I worked in a dealership network, in a different industry. To gain extended support (service in wide flung locations), some things must change. Heart doesn't. As #12, our factory pickup was actually within the factory. We had no factory service department til years later. But, we always had support. I'm counting on that.
  4. When we bought our 2008, there was no Oliver Setvice department. We took a fly, anyway, after literally looking at hundreds of trailers, dozens of brands, for our "last" trailet. It has grown to be the best of the best. Jason and crew aren't going anywhere, they're instead expanding the knowledge base to the hand-picked, quality, small dealers. And,expanding the radius, for now, so people can get quality service much closer to home than Hohenwald. Imo. That training takes time, and face to face. Support will always be there. Even during the hiatus, we always got support. This is not your average company. Heart is there.
  5. Split this, at thread starters request, to keep on topic. More great photos and comments welcome, here.
  6. Congratulations! Nothing like a baby, as my mother in law always said. Enjoy your new family miracle!
  7. Your profile shows a 2017. Even so, I'd open a service ticket. Those cracks look like the door was let go in wind, and stressed, to me. White duct tape will seal it for now. I'd guess a new door is in order. Imo.
  8. We'll see. With our minimalist style, I'm still unsure if our plans will include lithium. We're installing it on the boat, but unsure about the trailer. Because, we're not sure we need it. We'll see.
  9. We drilled smaller diameter pilot holes, as we always do. You can try the blue tape thing, I guess, though we've never done it. Pilot, followed by bigger hole. If you use butyl, all the holes will self seal. (We sealed old holes with epoxy) I know it's intimidating at first. But, it's not that bad. I'd guess total install time was two hours, or less. One on roof, one inside. We did "build up" a bit with butyl tape, if I remember correctly, for a slight incline, front to back. Love the light. Also, make sure you read instructions for drainage hole placement.
  10. Not a very warm winter here, but better than some regions. No snow, anyway! 😅
  11. I think it's, the same, or a little better. The pull handle is inset further than our original ventline. That said, our ventline was a 2008. And, our Maxx dome install was probably 4 years ago . We do so love the overhead light. My husband is just under 6'. For reference. It's been all good.
  12. It's not a big deal. We did this years ago. It's a terrific upgrade. Just do it. You'll be very happy. So nice to have an overhead light in the bath. We used butyl tape. Drilled small pilot holes. Once you've drilled a few, not so scary. Read the whole thread. Lots of great advice, from a number of installs.
  13. I think it took us about three hours, to do all the windows, back over a decade ago. Fastest on a warm day. We've replaced a couple over the years. 20 minutes for one. Well worth the time.
  14. Scandvik catalog link. The one in above photo is likely the first, upper left. Our now 16 year old scandvik faucets in our trailer are still going strong, as are the 15 year old replacements we put in the boat. I like their quality. Good luck. https://www.scandvik.com/index.cfm?method=products_Category&catID=325
