New axles may not fit all older sub-frames
Wayfinder replied to Wayfinder's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
Well, I know I dropped off for a year. It's been busy. I can't wait to retire. I just opened a ticket with OTT to see if they can custom order the axles with the SC=50" measurement. I will triple check tomorrow as I'll get under the trailer again. We'll see what they say. Thanks to all for all the great information. Priceless. Chris -
My how-to video for cleaning the weep holes and tracks
Wayfinder replied to Wayfinder's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
Great tip @Snackchaser. I'll try to remember as I am asked often about them. I gave my new white strips to another Oliver owner when I received the new windows. I had Oliver put on the black weather stripping. I'm afraid to see if it's a separate line item on my invoice. No, I will not look. No. @Ollie-Haus add that to our list of "to-does". “30 Second Outdoor Cleaner” (ACE) LOL Chris -
My how-to video for cleaning the weep holes and tracks
Wayfinder replied to Wayfinder's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
I do really dislike these windows overall. Waiting for the better windows. We'll see what gets announced soon. -
I did. It's deader than a door nail. Would likely need to pull the fridge out to find the break or re-wire to alternate location. Motivation low.

My how-to video for cleaning the weep holes and tracks
Wayfinder replied to Wayfinder's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
GJ, I was also recently thinking the same thing while washing on my last trip. I also now have the newer windows (replaced last year, 2024) which do not have that flexible & removable rubber track around the windows. I do think though that the newer windows drain a bit easier. I think I need to update the video for the newer windows. I'm thinking to recommend to use a mini-vacuum attachment to suck out any dry debris. That might make it easier to clean out when it does get wet. I'll do more videos when I'm retired, since I'm on the computer ALL DAY LONG for work, for 35 years. I'm done with them. LOL -
Being directed to Jason Essary now, on hold.

I also forgot to register, as did Steve C., who also forgot when. Oh well. I'll wing-it. Too much life stuff this year to keep up.

Replacing corroded tail light bezels.
Wayfinder replied to KenB's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
Dang it, I had not ordered the lights yet, and refreshed the page this morning and they went up in price a bit. Now $35.66. Ordering now. LOL -
Replacing corroded tail light bezels.
Wayfinder replied to KenB's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
Thanks @KenB. Your info on the Bezel replacement lead me straight to the entire light replacement part on my 2016 Elite-II. I think I will order two lights, and three extra Bezels in order to replace all the bezels and have one spare light on-hand. There's other great hints in this thread for removing the Bezel. Thanks @Corvus Ordering from E-Trailer: Piranha LED Trailer Tail Light w/ Chrome Bezel - Stop, Tail, Turn - Red Lens https://www.etrailer.com/Trailer-Lights/Peterson/PE76XV.html Part Number: PE76XV $34.02 (as of January 2025) Peterson Trailer Lights - PE76XV Tail Lights Oval LED Light 7-1/2L x 3-1/4W Inch Surface Mount Stop/Turn/Tail Non-Submersible Lights Peterson Specs: Overall dimensions: 7-1/2" wide x 3-1/4" tall Light dimensions: 7" wide x 2-3/4" tall Diodes: 10 Operating range: 9V - 32V Limited lifetime warranty -

I'm the only one I know of who has removed the door to reseal it. Super easy job. My door frame on my older 2016, #110 did have Olivers name on the Lippert factory sticker, so that might mean they're custom for Oliver's, or used to be. Would be an easy job to put on new door frame. Just have good quality butyl tape and double up the thickness of the butyl tape near the center areas of the door frame on both left and right sides. I have posted pictures on this thread .

Walk-in Lippert Door Seal/Putty Replaced
Wayfinder replied to Wayfinder's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
Sorry, I've been off the grid for a while. Please check with Oliver about "replacing the door". I think it's a custom order just for the Oliver. When I removed my door, the sticker on the outer frame, from Lippart, even had Oliver's name within the part information, if I recall correctly. I could be wrong, but best be safe and verify. My door frame was super easy to remove, okay fine, WAY TOO EASY. Most of the screw holes were too large for the screws. I think mostly held on with puddly. LOL. I added a few extra self-tapping screws just to be sure. -
Lots of opinions. I'm an extra-simple man. Carry extras at all times! I have 2 to 4 extra connectors just for the Andersen links. Two of the four are heavier duty. But, since I've been carrying all that extra stuff for three years, have I had an issue? Nope! Go figure. But I inspect ALL connection points every time I get out for a break. I have 13-points of interest to put my hands on, just for the hitch area. Andersen, Oliver, and any traitor maintenance company is simply going to out-source that part, and hope they're buying a high-end product. Damned if we can tell which Chinese part is good at the big-box-stores here in America. All we can do is bight it, lick it, and try to bend it with our barehands. "Yup, looks good." Many don't even have a strength indicator on them. Very annoying.

Victron Smart Shunt - alternative to the BMV-712
Wayfinder replied to Overland's topic in Ollie Modifications
Thanks JD! That makes good sense to me now. I do have at least two negs going to the batteries directly. And everything you said about the 6 AWG yellow wire is correct. I tried to note that in the overlayed pic. I'll see what I can do about moving those wires. -
Victron Smart Shunt - alternative to the BMV-712
Wayfinder replied to Overland's topic in Ollie Modifications
Hey all, if I understand @GraniteStaters initial mistake, by-passing the DC side of the negative connections, I think I did what he did. I only hooked up the AC (inverter) side to be monitored by the Inverter. I think I need another busbar like he installed (purple box in my pic). I've tried to figure out the solution from his pics, but I want to be clear about it. Here's what I have so far. Here's a clean pic without overlayed graphics and one with overlay. Not sure how clear this is to understand. The Victron Smartshunt is working fine, except I do not see any DC loads on monitor. I now understand why, just want to clarify the solution. Any detailed diagrams are welcome. Thanks!
