FYI, I had 2 polished Worthington LPG tanks on my AS for over 15 years, secured by double-nutting the aluminum wing nut. Never lost one... The cable locked wing nut inside the Oliver Doghouse gives piece of mind, for sure! Most non-Oliver folks probably don't even know what's inside the Doghouse, anyway...

These are all great little fixes that I'm sure I'll utilize once Ollie-Haus arrives. I'm OCD about fixing the little things that can be improved for everyday use. BTW I recognized that Springfield Armory pistol lock you used on your tanks immediately!😆 I own more than one version of the XDm line they offer and each comes with the same lock. You've discovered a better use for it. 😉
That's most definitely a better use for the XD cable lock than it's originally designed purpose!

You might want to contact Oliver to let them know that you (or Magnus) are the new owner so that you will be notified in the unlikely event of a recall or service notice.
Enjoy the heck out of it!

Good choice of tow vehicles with your 2022 Tundra. It has about 500 lbs. greater payload capacity than our 2019 Tundra, which is still adequate to tow our Hull #1291. We are getting along fine, but that extra 500 lbs. of payload will be nice to have.
Thanks!
The Tundra matches up nice with the LE II so far... The gray/black tanks were empty & fresh water tank was about 70% on our way back from collecting the rig last weekend. Fairly brutal crosswinds all the way back home about 175 miles, but it pulled fine! Minimal sway (if any) with the Anderson. It'll be interesting to measure the tongue & axle weitghts after its loaded for our next trip.

Back in our Airstream days we would do an annual run to Quartzite in JAN. Our friends owned a FG "Squarestream" trailer '92-ish in absolutely mint condition. Very rare and unique rigs. They owned it new from the factory. Interesting.

Thanks to all for the "hearty welcome" to the Oliver family. We look forward to meeting y'all on the road...
PLEASE NOTE CORRECTION: Our hull number is #226 not my typo-ed "#225" posted earlier.
Anyhow, we collected our rig on Saturday in Roswell, NM... It was just all so "Alien" to me, ha! It's a perfect rig for us - Magnus, in particular, loves it (WOOF!). Even in moderate to high crosswind conditions, it towed fantastically with the Anderson WDH behind the Tundra for the 175-mile run back home yesterday afternoon.
Here's what our "new-to-us" #226 looks like:

Hey, Ollies':
Diane and I are long-time Airstreamers, however downsized in '21 to a Casita and just now dropped the hammer on Hull #225. We've been influence by our friends here in NM for several years about getting into an Oliver. We're planning on collecting our "new to us" rig early next month. We've been lurking around the Ollie Forums for over a year and look forward to meeting y'all either on the road or on the web! Stay safe out there -
Best,
A, D, and Magnus (Woof!)

Well, Patriot - I totally copied your great idea for the LPG tank crossbar wing nut & Springfield XD slide-lock mod... "Tanks" a lot, brother!
