Thanks, Mike - we're thinking its an easy fix to mod the Weber... I'll search the YouTube vids, for sure. We'll probably go that route rather than invest in a new Blackstone (they sure look sturdy, though)

I'm thinking a lot of "Fur-Baby" folks gravitate to RV'ing because we can bring them with us everywhere - I know we did! HA! WOOF!

...happy this ended?

Does doing this reduce the DC line-loss?

@John E DaviesAwesome setup, JD! Sweet!

Awesome, y'all! I'm thinking I can modify our Weber to make compatible with the QD fitting on the camper. Many thanks! This is an awesome forum...😎

FYI: We've been ogling (if that's a word) over Ollies for many years now... We were camping at a remote area in Pagosa Springs, CO in July 2021 had our first Oliver sighting. We were randomly assigned a site near an Oliver. As it turned out, the owners were colleagues and dear friends I had worked with over a decade ago - a small world story... They gave us the walk-through and systems indoctrination. Who knew we would be Oliver owners by now? Well, I guess we knew it would happen eventually, HA! They owned Hull #727, the commercial plane my friend's dad flew back in the day - very cool!

Will do!, Mossey!

100% concur, GJ!

We keep an old "under the dashboard" flasher module in my tool box in case we break down on the road and need to leave the trailer w/o the TV. It will flash the position lights as a safety precaution in low-light and at night when connect that way on the 7-pin plug.

@mossemi Hey, Mossey: No wiring instructions in the packaging for the tag light from OTT. But... both the original light and the new light would illuminate when reversing the wiring shown in my picture above in your post. For clarification: the light worked correctly when I connected the light assembly's WHITE wire to the OTT's RED wire and the assembly's BLACK wire to the OTT's white wire. 100% concur with your assessment of the tag light circuit as being connected to the 14ga Street Side Tail Light RED wire. OBTW - when placing a 15amp fuse between the charge wire and marker light circuits on the 7-pin connector, marker lights, brake lights (low mode) and tag light illuminate. After some sleepless nights thinking about this, I can only come up with the explanation that somewhere in the OTT's wiring harness the WHITE and RED wires were wired incorrectly. Also, the PO just lived with no Tag Light or never realized it was INOP. Bottom line is that it's all good now and I've got a spare!

(Apologies in advance if this has been addressed before... can't seem to find a post that covers it). It's apparent that LPG accessories (fire pits, grills, etc.) with dedicated gas regulators are not compatible with the OTT Quick Disconnect gas port (if so equipped). My understanding is that the first regulator at the tanks drops the working pressure too low for the second regulator at the accessory to operate correctly. Question: What sort of modification/fix/work-around is needed so our LPG accy's are compatible with the gas port(s)? At this point, we're using the dog house access port to connect the grill gas line to one of the LPG tanks - would prefer to use the forward or aft QD.

Yes. They came with the braided LPG lines.

I decided not to use the spacers and opted for the "halo rings". Only issue there is that it's a bit of a challenge fitting them back into the tank tray - tight, but hey, it still seems to hold 'em in there nicely. Good comment about the sensors. Probably a good idea to pull them off when filling tanks - I can see how they could get smashed easily on uneven terrain.

@Ollie-Haus Chris, you and Stacy hang in there, brother! Our thoughts and prayers are with y'all and your family....

OK, it's dark out, freezing rain, wind is howling like a banshee - you're tucked-in all cozy in your Ollie and the furnace quits. You don't have the heart to sent your wife out again to check the LPG tank gauges - so you go out and brave the elements to see what's going on inside the dog house. As those that have one know, you can color that ship, "sailed" by getting a tank monitoring system. Here's how we handled this MOPEKA modification earlier today: 1. Unpacked the Amazon box, downloaded the app and synchronized the two sensors to the remote using the app. 5 minute drill - easy peasy. 1. Halo Rings, Sensors and Remote.pdf 2. Remove tanks, cleaned bottom of tanks. Prepped sonar sensor with dielectric and placed in center of bottom of tanks with attached magnets. Placed halo rings on tanks. 3. Clean bottom of tank, place sensor and halo.pdf 3. Replace tanks, test again... 6. Replace Tanks, Test each again.pdf 4. Fixed VELCRO to back of remote and install inside OTT 8. Mount inside Ollie.pdf One and done - so far, so good. We'll report back after a trip or two... Cheers!

I just don't know... there's something cool-looking about having matching OTT/TV tires!

Good call, Topgun - just ordered a 4-pack from Amazon for $12! Thanks, amigo!

If you haven't already done so, consider putting an IR temp gauge on your list of Ollie items to bring along - so you can check tire and drum temps along the way.... just say'n. A TPMS is another consideration, unless you've already got one.

I recently contacted the PO about the axles. After getting to the "full disclosure" part of the discussion, I learned from him that the front axle was replaced in 2021 due to either not greasing the bearings properly or whatever. He spun a bearing race destroying the axle and had to replace it. I wasn't happy to discover this after buying it - but at least I know the "rest of the story." Ugh..... At least the brake linings were equally worn between front and rear hubs. Planning to contact Dexter to order new (correct) grease caps for the front and rear hubs, BTW...

AH! I did not know that....

Correct - Cooper Discover AT3's... Ran Michelin Defenders on both my AS and TV back in the day - I'm thinking they're still a good choice for an Oliver.... IMHO

Good thing they didn't try saving build costs by installing GY Marathon (China Bombs!).... HA! FYI: We're running Coopers - first time for us... So far, so good.

@Apreski: Greetings, Steve and, welcome aboard! OBTW: "You ain't heavy, you're my brother"! As long-time L/Cruiser owners and car campers, backcountry skiers, and almost as "long in the tooth" as y'all, we feel your pain in making this transition. But.... that said, I'll make a prediction: You will not find yourself in the fetal position on Night-1; or at least not in the Cruiser! Just say'n... Keep us posted on the "hatching operations" later this month, brother. Safe travels!

Welcome to the Oliver forums, brother... FYI: We made the AS/Ollie transition last month ('85 Sovereign 25-foot/modified vintage rig) and we couldn't be happier (on many levels)! We travel with a 55-lb Siberian, Magnus. He was spoiled since 8 weeks old with the roomy AS layout, but is totally adapted to the Ollie's tight configuration. Obviously don't know what's going through is little "Husky brain", but I hope its something like, "hey, I'm with my pack - I don't care how much room I have, we're camping!" HA! 😎
