Camped with another Oliver at Angel Fire RV Resort, Angle Fire, NM; Midway COE, Waco, TX; Galveston Island State Park, Galveston, TX; Outer Banks, NC, KOA, all in the last 12 months and the year isn't over😊. Passed several on the highway.

Another is Valley of Fires in New Mexico. The campground is between the flows and there is a great raised trail over the fields. We had a pull through site.

Loved that park and campground. The laval rocks were a bit rough on our dog.🙃

We were so lucky to travel the BRP in October 2023. We went North out of GSMNP, camped at Asheville KOA, Linville Falls RV, and Boone KOA before heading to West Virginia and home. We loved Black Mountain. So much devastation. We now need to complete the BRP from Boone, NC to Richmond, VA

I may have missed something here. I believe the OP said he was running his generator on LP. I don't recall seeing that discussed. How much of a difference is there using LP vs fuel? It was my understanding there is a significant difference. Will the change of some settings then allow his AC to run without issues?

Mark, I think you got better recommendations here. Hopefully you get things sorted out.

I tried to help on Mark's Facebook post. I think your explanation is correct. I was trying to figure out why he has the inverter on. Using shore power at the power post or a generator the inverter shouldn't be on. I was getting hung up on this. I have charged our 2022 LE, Lithium & Solar without changing any settings. I have also run the AC without making any adjustments. When I use the generator it is being run on fuel. He is running his on LP.

We have the upgraded 5200 lb. axel and Never Lube on our 2022 and so far so good

Wish we had done a night visit, but our stop was an in transit stop, and then onto the real tourist trap at Crazy Horse 🙃

I have 10 😊, plus the Ravelco security faub for our truck

I should have added, that the decision to go from 3500 axels to 5200 axels is a personal choice. Some owners have found out from Oliver that switch can't be made. While the springs breaking have mostly been on older trailers, 2021 and older, I'm sure the 4-leaf spring will continue to have issues. Dexter supplies most of the RV industry with their suspension system. Oliver could instruct Dexter to install 5-leaf springs. This would be a better option than the 4-leaf, but not close to the Alcan 5-leaf springs. I have our springs and shocks checked professionally, every 3,000 miles, when my Zerks are greased. With our 2022, am I playing Russian Roulette? That is a really good question. Many of you might say yes, but I think I'm watching things carefully. At some point, I will make the switch to Alcan, and schedule a day to get it done in Grand junction. Switching to Alcan, or other choices, are personal choices we all have to make.

Thanks, that is definitely in the back of my mind. At some point, and hopefully before ours fails, Alcan will get a visit from me.

This has nothing really to do with Oliver. 3500 lb axels and 6 year old trailer. The main contributing cause for these 4 leaf failures, are living near the coast, driving on chemically treated roads, resulting in rusting. The OP was clear on his driving on a washboard road with deep chuck holes. This is a sure way to have 4-leaf spring failure. Starting in 2022 Oliver went to the 5200 lb axels. There have been few if any failures on the trailers from 2022 to present.
