My #110 had different check valves than suggested by Lee on FB. But I was easily able to make them work without issue. The camper originally had Valterra P23402LF 1/2" (with male & female threads), with a male-to-male extender. This was a super quick job and tested for leaks with 65-70 PSI on the newly connected valves. I used the ones I ordered anyways (Valterra P23415LF 1/2"), which were shorter without an extender. The pipes had plenty of "play" to have the ends come closer together to make the P23415LF work just fine. Some trailers are naturally (and always) a bit different. There was no "gunk" whatsoever inside either of the old check valves, but I'm sure the old rubber seals inside dried up. So, maybe change these too every eight years or so. And the parts list grows. Some pics as always.

@jd1923 I will take pics of my check valves. Will be interesting to see if it's "gunk" or failed plastic.

yeah, it won't be fun in the heat for sure. I'm 6'2" at 183 lbs. I can do it, but will need to think what I need before I crawl inside.... to reduce the cursing at Oliver. LOL

This is likely fixed after a year after posting, but I did notice there is no rubber seal inside the inlet. That would certainly leak like crazy with a host hooked up.

Lee on FB showed pointed me at the check valves. I was looking right at them, but didn't know for sure if those were the check valves. Updated pick. I ordered three of them to keep a spare when someone at a rally needs one. It's going into my parts list/log.

@jd1923 I also have a 2016 (#110). I think my check valve to the city water inlet has gone bad. I have not truly identified the check valve itself, but I am surprised to see both City and Fresh inlets have 40-50 lb pressure regulators in the basement. Good to know. At least we have less of a chance of plowing a line from the inlet to the pressure regulator. Would these also contain a check valve within? I don't want to undo anything unnecessarily. I'll check the hex nut/screw inside the intlets too, but they don't seem large enough for an actual check valve. If the dirt cover is not screwed onto the city inlet, and the water pump is turned on, water does come out of the city inlet. Just discovered by accident this weekend.

yeah, I'm not really up for all that. My full-time job is keeping me busy enough. The old body doesn't like it either.

Huh, I submitted a ticket to OTT service but never heard anything back. I’ll need to give them a call about the 50” axles.

Not too far from home, but had a great time in Appling, GA with a beach-side camp site at one of the few parks open this season, after last October's hurricane. Lots of paddle boarding, cycling, and swimming was done this week. Not bad for $25/day at Wildwood Park.

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

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

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.

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.
