  1. We're getting the LC ready for spring and decided to go the air bag route. I remember @John E Davies mentioning he uses a manual pump for his. A couple questions: Do the Firestone bags come with a hose fitting compatible with your pump? What pump are you using? I'm also just going to have the shop change the oil and was curious if anyone runs 0W-30 or 5W-30 instead of the caps 0W-20. Our 2019 manual specifically mentions using a higher viscosity oil if the engine will be under "extreme load conditions," but most people (including my dealership) don't know or care about that suggestion. The topic has come up a few times on IH8MUD as well. I'd love to hear from those that actually use their LCs to tow. Thanks!
  2. I might have missed a comment or two but it looks like everyone here was trying to help. Who was censoring you?
  3. $1280 was my quote for Sunbrella. I passed. Wax on, Wax off.
  4. I'd suggest Summit Racing Equipment if you want legit parts for cheap. They ship all over the US. Summit Racing is 20 minutes from the Timken factory and is an authorized distributor. Odds are good they are legit. 😁
  5. Very cool. I assumed I would need to put it on a scale to get the exact weight. I was expecting ours to be much closer to the weight of yours based on our options. If anyone is curious, here are the weight impacting options: Standard Layout Composting Toilet Microwave Delete Single Awning Lithium Pro Package 20 Lbs Propane Standard Radio Antenna Standard Water Heater Extra 30 Amp Propane Quick Connects
  6. I noticed that the tire and loading information sticker specifies that the weight of cargo should "never exceed 2195 Lbs." Knowing the GVWR is 7000 Lbs, the sticker suggests our trailer weighs 4805 Lbs. I'm wondering if 4805 is the exact weight of the trailer given the options we selected or if everyone's simply says the same thing regardless.
  7. Last I checked, Oliver removed the microwave delete option on the 2022 build sheets.
  8. Memo from Xantrex: http://www.xantrex.com/documents/Inverter-Chargers/Freedom XC/FXC PRO Remote compatibility Memo.pdf Note: This memo is from 8 months ago. I'd be curious to know what panel part numbers/serial numbers are on the units that are acting up.
  9. At least you have a long time to figure it out! ðŸĪŠ Congrats on pulling the trigger!
  10. Nice find! I would assume the fan speed or on/off state is linked to load or a simple temperature sensor in the unit itself. I wonder what is causing load/heat after the battery disconnect event - actual load or a bug.
  11. GS is local. Maybe a lawyer on the forum can better explain how overloading one system and killing someone/yourself is not a liability but overloading another system is. Me too! 😂
  12. It is simple once you exhaust all other reasonable options which include a back and forth with the sales team on utilizing their receiver as the base of your custom modification only to find out they won't even sell it to you with a piece left off. This conversation was after searching the forums for weeks looking at all of the custom designs done by users over the years. Then you actually have to find a local fab that is competent and have them build it from scratch based off the data you've collected during your month long forum investigation. Hopefully the end result is better than something Oliver could offer... hopefully. Or... I could check a box and sign my name next to a box that says "You agree to never load our 2 inch receiver over the weight limit of X." This would be in addition to the legalese I've already agreed to which I'm sure absolves Oliver of any liability for anything an idiot could dream up... *deep breaths* ðŸĪŠ I'll let you know how my gamble works out: https://www.gsfabricating.com/
  13. They should get a second opinion and have someone draft a liability waiver. I've wasted more time than I care to admit looking for 2" receiver solution. ðŸ˜Ą
  14. I was researching cables last night and that solution sounds far better than the ideas I was seriously considering. If you have a bill of materials and you care to share it, I'd love to copy it. 😁 I remember that post and actually bookmarked it. Keeping that line empty never crossed my mind so I'm very grateful you mentioned it. Here is the post for anyone curious:
  15. I gave up on the Oliver receiver and I can't get over the fact that they are still saying this. Nothing about a 1.25" receiver prevents people from overloading it. Towing a trailer is all about knowing and following weight limitations. GVWR, payloads, tongue weights, etc; all of which can kill you when ignored.
  16. Here is the last thread this topic was discussed:
  17. Is the water line to the toilet open by default when ordering new with the composting toilet option? What was the process to drain it and keep it drained? What brand of heat cable did you go with? Thanks!
  18. The Pivot v2 and the NV 2.0 are both "NOT RV compatible." The Oliver hitch is great if you already have a 1.25" RV compatible rack that you like. If your rack is 2.0", using any adapter will reduce the weight rating of the rack.
  19. SensorPush also has some new units out with better battery life and slightly better accuracy: HT.w and HTP.xw https://www.sensorpush.com/sensor-comparison I'm a big fan. The data is exportable and the mobile app does what it needs to do and nothing more.
  20. I have a lot of respect for a company that doesn't censor customer feedback/issues on the forums they host and pay for. I don't expect a flawless product because I've read a large percentage of the posts made here over the years; I do expect a trailer that far exceeds the standards found in the rest of the industry. I also have expectations that each year, the quality of the product will improve. This is especially the case when the price increases are outpacing material costs and general inflation. I'll be documenting my trailer's build quality and trouble spots because I want companies like Oliver to succeed and constantly improve. A public forum creates the perfect "feedback loop" for better or worse. Hopefully always the former! 😁
  21. These are really slick if you're a data junkie: SensorPush: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B08PKWPKM2
  22. Any suggestions on pressure for a 2021 Elite II weighing 5000 lbs (unloaded). Ours is being delivered in 3 weeks and I'd rather not have the thing rattled to death by someone that tows these like a feather is hitched up. ðŸĪŠ If the factory won't do it for me, I'm hoping the delivery company will.
  23. The facebook page hasn't been updated in ages. http://perfectcasita.com/ was updated in early 2019 but the e-commerce pages are broken on both http://perfectcasita.com/ and http://lowprolockdown.com Really cool product. Maybe the 2020 RV madness will open them back up for business. (469) 312-1222 if anyone wants to give their listed number a try.
  24. If anyone that opted for the storage box has the exact measurements, here are the Panasonic dimensions:
  25. I believe this one will fit as well (Panasonic FlashXpress): https://smile.amazon.com/Panasonic-NB-G110P-FlashXpress-Infrared-Removable/dp/B008C9UFDI/ref=sr_1_3?crid=2CIG994XT7R3 I misplaced my storage box estimate though so I can't confirm.
