I think JED said, if registering a trailer in Canada Still and all, after many trips to Alaska, through Canada, of course, I'd want mudflaps. We installed them in 2008.

Thanks, @Katjo. I loved watching my parents dance,,as well. Love the choice of the Glenn Miller tune.

This article is a fairly short read. Thanks for the links and info. It is indeed a tragedy. https://www.co4x4rnr.org/breaking-down-the-deadly-az-incident/

We loved our maxxis. Good choice.

In older trailers, we don't have that facility. Great that the newer trailers do. I'm happy for you.

We put the stab jacks down, after leveling. We take a tiny bit off the tires, but never "lift" the trailer. Tires are always in contact with the ground.

I would contact lifeblue, if I were you. Every manufacturer seems to offer different protocols, but noone seems to recommend constant charging for lifepo4 batteries. @Katjo

@Katjowhich batteries do you have?

Oliver staff doesn't routinely watch the forum. Please, do open a ticket with any safety or repair item, even if you fix it yourself. Production can't fix a problem they're not aware of. Exactly, @Cameron, give them a heads up. And, thank you for doing that.

They buy gelcoat in big drums. I don't think they supply a touch-up kit, as most folks never need it. And, it doesn't last long.

The two Oliver groups were started years apart, by different Oliver owners. I don't spend a lot of time on Facebook.

A bit of marinetex might fill the bit, and salvage your pride. A tiny chip isn't a big deal. We have a few. If the roving doesn't show, not a disaster. Seal it so the water doesn't intrude, if it's deep. You can also open a ticket, and ask for a bit of perfect match gelcoat.

Your Oliver warranty covers you, wherever you are. Many components have a 2 year warranty. Buying an extended warranty is a very personal decision. But, we usually vote against them. Most problems rear their ugly heads in the first year, imo.

Why are you charging agm batteries on the lithium setting? Or is that a typo. And, no, I wouldn't leave bulging batteries in the tray over the winter.

And, as we all know, Steve likes overkill and extra capacity. No problem with thread drift. We haven't had any elite 1 responses, anyway, for lt tires, since I split the topic. We're still running st tires on our elite. With modern st tires, higher speed rating, haven't had the urge to change out to lt tires.

Yes. I guess I didn't make that clear. 2 agms, roughly 130 pounds, total, vs. a single battleborn 100 ah, at roughly 30 pounds, would give us almost the same usable amp hours. Big weight reduction. Virtually no change in usable amp hours.

Costco, Kirkland 😄

I think we could use a few more details. How did it "shift"? What happens when you try to raise or lower the jack? Nothing? Any sound? Does the light work? Have you checked the simplest, first, the fuse? We can raise ours manually, but it's a bit of a pita. Sometimes, when we've camped in rain or humidity, we have to "rock" the switch a bit. Down, up, down... to get it to work. Probably a bit of corrosion or moisture. Then again, we've also experienced a poor ground, and a failed switch. We carry a spare switch, as it's not easy to find, locally, in many places. I checked your profile. 2019, Elite II. Please add it to your signature. Thanks. And, good luck.

I'll drink to that... 🥂

And, for your reading pleasure, 4 pages of posts on "winter camping" here on the forum. Using our search function. https://olivertraveltrailers.com/forums/search/?q="Winter camping"&updated_after=any&sortby=relevancy&search_and_or=and

Fully charged batteries. Full propane tanks. Good blankets. A small air compressor, and a couple jugs of rv pink stuff antifreeze, just in case. An escape plan if the campground road isn't typically plowed. (Some roads aren't. I'd check.)

I think another part of the equation is that rv ac systems are probably designed for the typical drafty, uninsulated stick-built trailers and motor homes. They're almost expected to run more or less continuously in high heat and humidity. At least the Houghton is quiet. I think it's set up to run on a 2 degree differential, like most,, and I've not found a way to change it. @CRM, point well taken on the humidity absorbed by textiles, etc. At least the Oliver walls and furniture, other than cushions, can be wiped down and don't absorb excess humidity. During the evening and night, though, we all tend to add humidity. Showers, cooking, and breathing add a bunch, even when we run exhaust fans. Since I can't hold my breath all night, I'll live with it. 😅 (pun intended) I'll look forward to reports in the Truma. Home ac systems are designed for a single climate zone. Rv systems have to be a compromise...

Foy, you know I'm such a big fan of your work. Every tabletop I see is so beautifully crafted, optimizing the amazing grain. I know you and my dad would have been good friends. He had your eye, and amazing skills, like you. We're so lucky to have you in our group.

What brand is your movable array? If it's not zamp, you probably need an adaptor to reverse polarity. Glad you were able to enjoy Pisgah without it.

I'd agree, if that's a concern. The airhead has a gasket to seal the lid, from what I've read. The Villa seat sits up a tiny bit, til you put weight on it/sit on it. I do like that both the airhead and the separret toilets have a real "seat." If I had a tiny in our Ollie, I'd cover it with a trash bag, when showering.
