Does your mud flap do the job to protect the trailer? I am considering Rock Tamers. They're bigger and attach at the hitch. We get our Ollie in November so I anticipate some rainy weather on the trip back to Oregon. It would be nice if it wasn't chipped up and filthy by the time we get home.

I read an article in RV Life that said to just buy new tires when you get your new trailer as they put on very cheap tires to get the trailers and RV's out the door. I assume they meant other trailer brands. I can't picture that being an issue with Oliver.

Does lactaid work? A lot of people can't tolerate dairy. Northern European ancestry can for the most part. We're from Swedish ancestry so we have no problem.

So apparently my wife is right again. We don't need to tell her.

I thought the only R value that Oliver talked about were the windows. R16 for the windows was a figure that I recall. I could be wrong. My wife would agree that I could be wrong.

"Our 2008, waxed twice yearly, with quality, uv protection carnuba based wax, still looks great, stored outside 24/7/365. We also wash it frequently, with marine soap." What are the names of those two products? Do you use the clay bar to buff? I saw that mentioned somewhere on a thread.

Was it a hard decision? I think someone said you lose a little counter space with the convection one. Do you know how much is lost?

Did you opt for the standard microwave?

Hi all, for the cooks among you, are you happy with the convection oven? Can you cook with it if you are boondocking with a lithium pro package, or is it limited to FHU? My wife wanted some thoughts on it. Thanks, John

Hi Ralph, how is the convection microwave working out for you? Do you have to be connected to shore power to operate it? We have an LE2 on order for November delivery with lithium pro package. I am just not sure if we can cook for very long with battery power. John

Do you know if the Anderson WDH is compatible with the Weigh Safe? We pick up an LE2 in November. Our tv requires a wdh. It's a 2017 Ford Expedition LE with heavy duty tow package. I like the idea of a hitch scale. Thanks, John

Hi all, I did a search on this topic and couldn't find anything, but has anyone put a ceramic coating on a new trailer? I would think the prep work is nil as no buffing is required. Has anyone just bought the material and applied it right out of the can? Does this make sense? I have seen some videos of applying it with a rag and wiping it off. Please direct me to a thread if one exists that has already covered this topic. Thanks, John

My first purchase! Done. Less than five months of waiting left for us.

Chris, did you go with the 2 5/8 inch ball? I am leaning towards that for our November delivery. You also get a beefier Bulldog coupler. John

Thanks John

EDIT - it is 6’7” from the rear axle to the center of the bumper 😥

Hi all, I went out looking at trailer specific bike racks and they wanted to know the distance from the pin that holds the bike hitch to the center of the rear wheel on the tandem axle LE2. If it's under 6 feet I have more options. Our two bikes aren't very heavy, about 20 for one and 39 for the electric bike. If anyone is bored and looking at the tape measure on your kitchen counter, do you want to measure that? After you're done, you can put the tape measure back in the garage. See, I am helping you! Thanks

And let's get rid of vehicles. Horse and buggy or if you're cheap, just a horse.

Looks like you managed to get a bigger area too. Looks good. Great suggestion! Thanks!

Thanks so much!

Thanks Mike!

Hi all, we have a November 7 delivery date, so we sat around the kitchen table looking at options. We have a few questions. 1. If you have the 30 amp connection at the front do you use it much? I assume it's for a generator hook-up. We're getting the Lithium Pro package. I don't foresee weeks of boondocking. Would it be useful to have? It's probably very expensive to add later. 2. Ultrafabric upgrade. Does that include the dining cushions also? I saw it for the twin bed fp. 3. Storage basket. We're thinking of going with 20# propane and carrying a 20# in the storage basket. Can a propane tank be carried there and how is it secured? Our thought was we could take it out at the camp area and hook up to a stove or firepit and not get the quick connect propane for front and back. 4. For those people that have the shower track option, is it worth it or if you don't have it, do you wish you did? 5. Bike rack. Do two standard bikes block the tail lights/turn signals on the back of the trailer? Oliver has some V shaped bike rack that attaches at the top and bottom of the bicycle wheels. Thanks so much for any responses. You all have been very helpful. My wife was hesitant to buy because of the cost, but sees the value in these trailers. Happy Mother's Day to you moms out there.

I wrote to Dexter today and they said the bearings have a five year warranty. I will still ask Jason, but at least the warranty sounds reasonable.

I will have a 2022 LE2 in November. What is the bearing set that is recommended as it will have the Nev-r-lube bearings, I assume.
