Sounds interesting. The main thing is to have a tpms with the trailer and you're doing that with this new product. 5-7 year battery life sounds great. John

How long do your sensor batteries last? I bought a package of 12 CR2032 from Costco that were on sale for about $12. I think that I put them on when I picked up our trailer in November last year. Do you just put new batteries in every year or wait for a loss of signal message? If you're not on the road is it still draining the battery? My wife retires in 13 days, so we will be doing more traveling. You two are out a lot. John

A TPMS is crucial to have. Check out TST and compare to the one you posted. It comes with a monitor that you can see on your dash and gives you pressure and temperature readings. We have that one and even though we haven't set up the booster, we have no problem getting the measurements from the Oliver LE 2. I have four sensors for the tv and four for the trailer. Tireminder is another brand. John

I am sorry for the loss of your mom. The engine problems sound awful too. Hope the rest of your year is better. John

Did you have to remove the wheels?

I used the $16.99 one that has a screw on piece and external spring. There are three pieces that are inside the housing. Don't make the mistake that I did and unscrew the piece fully. I lost those three little pieces and had to reorder the piece. I have to finish the job still now that the replacement adapter came. They should warn people to not unscrew that, or maybe everyone except me just knew not to. I don't have experience with the cheaper adapter that you reference. Good luck. John

I have the TST also and monitor all eight tires. Four on the TV and the four on the trailer. It came with the repeater, but it hasn't been necessary. It does take about five minutes to start registering on the display, but after it does, it cycles through all the tires. It gives great peace of mind. John

I agree

#1290 will get their treatment in less than two months. John

Thanks. I will run this by service to see if I need to buy this for the wiring job. John

Yes please. OTT will be doing the work since they know a lot more than me about wiring. I am in the information gathering stage to hopefully get the best solution. John

Does anyone have an idea how to form a flat four way connector from the licence plate light wires on the back of the Ollie? The tv has the four-way connector as well as the seven pin connector. We're going in for service on October 30 and I mounted the light kit on the Yakima Stage 2 bike rack. I am guessing that the license plate lighting would not have the capability to power the brake, turning, and hazard lights. OTT will look at the wiring needed. Somehow I am guessing they'll need to run a 4-way from the tv to the back of the trailer to enable the light kit to do all the normal functions. Has anyone else done something similar? Does the wire go underneath from the hitch to the bumper? Does it somehow go between the hulls? TIA, John

Bill, I decided not to do the twice yearly waxing and will have our 10 month old LE2 ceramic coated in November by CGI. I hope it's a good decision. Our trailer is on a north facing hill in Oregon, so it doesn't get the intense sun that it might get in southern states. Time will tell. I wish I could have it under cover, but there's no room on the property for an Ollie barn. John

Bill, we're having our 2022 LE2 done by CGI almost one year from delivery day. We picked up on November 7, 2022 and CGI will do their coating on November 1 and 2. I currently have a coat of Rejex on it, which they said was ok to do. I am looking forward to seeing how it looks after they're done. John

We do the same!

I put in a service ticket to see if my wheels are aluminum on hull 1290 (I think they are), whether my lug nuts are aluminum clad (I think they are) and lastly if they know of what company to get stainless steel bulged acorn style lug nuts from for what I assume are aluminum wheels. I don't think the lug nuts that ScubaRx found are bulged acorn type. John

They don't look like the bulge acorn style. I thought that with the aluminum wheels, it's recommended to get the bulge acorn style. John

Thanks Bill. Did you swap yours out? We go in for service on October 30 so if it's advised, I may just get 24 stainless steel ones like you referenced for them to put the wheels back on the trailer. John

Speaking of those lug nuts, are they made of one metal only? I replaced all my lug nuts on my Ford Expedition since they swelled. They are made of two metals. It seems crazy to make lug nuts that way, but if Oliver also uses those types of lug nuts (for appearance, I assume), I would rather have all stainless steel lug nuts. Swollen lug nuts are just that, they're near impossible to remove. I know this is off topic. John

I got the Locknlube gun and 90° angle piece. I removed the screw on part to inspect it after doing one zerc that oozed a bit of grease at the connection point of the gun tip and the zerc. Don't do that. It removed a little washer like piece that's needed to hold onto the zerc that is in that connection area of the 90° piece. I didn't realize that it held that small piece and the 90° piece is useless without that small part. Yes, I ordered another one for $21. Did you remove the wheels or are you planning to remove them to get to the two fittings that are at the top of the Dexter assembly? Something about crawling under trailer while on stands makes me a bit nervous. John

Hi Bill, what kind of prep and paint did you use? I already am seeing some rust on my 2022 that I picked up in November. John

Bill, I have a late 2022, hull #1290. We are going back to Hohenwald in October from Oregon for annual service. We have about 4000 miles max on the trailer since getting it new. It has the EZ flex axles so I assume I am ok. We will have about 7000 miles on it when we get to Tennessee. Any advice on whether we should put grease into the zirc fittings and if so, what kind? TIA, John

"Now to rig up a 4-pin harness on the trailer to use the included lights" I bought the Yakima Stage 2 rack after putting a 2" Curt receiver on with stainless steel 316 grade for high tension use. There's a light kit that I can buy to attach to the rack so tail lights/turn indicators are visible in both the up and down position. It would be plugged into a four pin harness, but I don't know how that's done. The trailer goes to Hohenwald for service in October so may see if they can do that. If you figure out how it's done I would like to see how you did it. John
