I changed tow vehicles in March and had Anderson installed at factory during annual maintenance. We are on the tail end of 7000 plus miles. After installation my thread count was the same on both sides. I noticed recently one chain had some sag to it. I looked at frame mounts and measured from rear cross joins and the brackets differ by about an inch. Maybe shifted during towing? I will adjust. What torque should the bracket bolts be? In the meantime, as long as tension in both chains is similar and taut, hitch will still perform desired function?

I have not experience this but others have noted the jack stabilizer mounts may come lose possibly causing an upward shift of the jack and the unwanted contact?

They replaced my burner during annual maintenance visit in early March. I had scheduled this service in early February, and they set aside a burner for me. Hoping things are ok in Hohenwald.

We are currently camping at Mt Madonna County Park near Santa Cruz. Our plans to visit Yosemite were derailed by snow at elevation. We visited Santa Cruz today and will go to Monterey on this stop. Some lovely hikes in park too. From here we will venture to Marin County north of San Francisco for a couple of days to visit my brother-in-law who is a golf course architect and has a job there. Thinking of taking the 101 north from there to Redwoods and into Oregon. Any thoughts on pulling Ollie up that route? Redwoods camping is booked so we would welcome any other ideas.

@jd1923 We are in Alamogordo and planning to head to Cottonwood via 260. I plan to call Ranger Station but was curious if you think this camping will be accessible?

Catalina is a beautiful park for sure. Those Oro Valley sunsets from the park are amazing. We stayed there in March 2023 and 2024. In 2023, we arrived just after the entry road reopened from a flooding event. In 2024, we were in the park and had park host informed us the road had flooded and we had to stay another two night or two. Darn 🤞

Can confirm. Spoke with Jason today regarding service on March 11-12. He has a burner set aside for me.

Steens Moutain sounds amazing. I am guessing inaccessible in mid-April when we plan to visit? What other must-sees will be unavailable at that time?

Wondering if any other owners are considering the new Dodge Ramcharger option for towing their Olivers? On paper sounds pretty good with towing capacity up to 14,000 pounds and 2600 lb cargo capacity. Range is over 100 miles on electric only almost 700 miles using gas, although surely less for both towing. 2025 Ram 1500 Ramcharger Hybrid: What We Know So Far

I scheduled my annual maintenance with Oliver factory in early March. My Truma serial number falls within recall range so I mentioned this to Jason when scheduling. He said Oliver will replace my Truma burner unit during maintenance visit. He did say they currently do not have any Truma burner assemblies in stock and don't expect any until early March.

I find if I twist mine it makes it more taut and doesn't hang so low. Same for chains. I've always worried low hanging chains and brake cable could create a spark and possibly fire in dry conditions.

Looks great and those wounds will heal.😁 Which model of Peplink router did you go with?

@HDRider FWIW there are 16 zerks on my 2022 #1047. There are two on each side where suspension attaches to frame that are easy to miss.

I just had my freshwater tank intake plumbing out while trying to identify a pressure loss issue. On my 2022, this is 1/2" PVC that bends inside the tank at is cut at a 45 degree angle and as @MAX Burner stated enters the tank though a threaded fitting. I did not see a screen on the end when I had it out. Maybe mine has fallen off?

Thanks for all the input. I did try the opening and closing valves one at a time to bleed air. Also tried city water hook up. I tried pulling water in from boondocking port. No draw from that connection either (with valves in boondocking configuration). Put in a ticket with Oliver and sent video. Mike responded promptly and said likely pump and or accumulator. I replaced both. Still no draw from fresh tank but it did pull water from boondocking port. Progress! I checked all connections between fresh tank and pump. I had an air leak at connection where water line comes out of fresh tank. Pump failure was from us leaving pump on overnight while parked on a slight decline with very little water in fresh tank. We stayed in their house so did not notice until morning. We have named this O-squared E. Oliver-Operator-Error.😁
