  1. I ordered and received all heavy duty shackles, bolts, and U-bolts with my order from Alcan, per David Austin.
  2. Sorry you had that happen. Oliver was probably correct with their assessment. People driving on washboard roads, chemically treated roads, and a bad Chinese spring, can all come into play. Not much Oliver can do as they just install the Dexter suspension There is a former Oliver owner that sold their Oliver and bought a different brand. On their first trip their springs flattened. They were replaced and flattened again. They upgraded to a 5th Wheel and I believe doing an Alcan upgrade. Unfortunately, things happen. We have a 3 week trip and then get them replaced June 1st.🤞
  3. Unaware of any issues on the 5200 lb. Axels since Oliver switched to the 5200 lb. axels. After 5 years we are replacing shocks and having Alcan 4-leaf springs installed. The place that services our suspension said they noticed a slight flattening of the springs. The Alcans just arrived.
  4. I get that, but the axels should be 5,200 on all Oliver's starting in 2022. Maybe I misread what he said. He said he has D35 axels, when it should be D52, rated at 3,500.
  5. The axel weight doesn't seem right. In 2022 Oliver switched to the D52 (5,200 lb), rated at 3,500 lbs due to the 4-leaf spring. Why would Oliver switch back to 3,500 lbs? I'm not sure you are providing the correct information. The older trailers were 3,500 lbs. and these trailers are experiencing the spring breaking. 5,200 axels have been installed since 2022.
  6. Davis Lake was a great stop on our journey from Nashville to Natchez on the Trace.
  7. Welcome and Congrats from Hull #1045, Jolli Olli
  8. Just ordered mine at O'Reilly's. Supposed to be in next week. June 1st for spring and shock replacement
  9. Just received our Alcan Springs 5-leaf with heavy duty hardware. We will be having them installed as 4-leaf. Scheduled for first of June around a short Indiana trip. Will do the two 50 mile drives same day and they will re-torque, and then after our Indiana camping trip for the 500 re-torque.
  10. A 2' level does the job. Set on the rear bumper for side to side. Add levelers as needed, chock and disconnect. I take the 2' level up against the belly band and raise or lower to get level Actually a good idea to have the tongue raised slightly to allow flow in the tanks toward the back. Very simple
  11. Both sinks and shower drain are plumbed to the gray tank. The toilet drains into the black tank only.
  12. GFCI's fail frequently. You need to find another place to plug in. As mentioned previously get a 30 amp (120/single phase) installed in your barn.
  13. The black one is a Progressive 30-amp tester. Never rely on any shore power without testing it.
  14. You should have these testers to check the shore power before you plug into your trailer. You have been asked where your trying to plug in, home, campground, 30amp, 120, 120 with GFCI. You should never plug your trailer anywhere without testing the shore power.
  15. If you are plugging into a GFCI at home, that is more than likely your problem. Get a dedicated 30 amp (120/single phase for RV). What are you plugging into and where? Did you test the shore power plug with a 30amp ot 120 tester to make sure the shore power is safe?
  16. We got hard copy manuals when we picked up our 2022 LE 2. There were instructions with pictures. I have had Oliver make needed adjustments when the trailer was in for service. You need to make very slight adjustments. Too much and the motor will keep running and could burn out the motor. If you Google Girard Awning adjustments you should get a detailed "How To".
  17. You might want to look into Coy's mobile tracking solar set-up that several Oliver Owners are using. Hopeful these owners will chime in and provide info on contacts and how the system works. With your set-up that could be a game changer.
  18. "The Mayor of Prescott" 😊
  19. Mike Sokol will do his own test and that should be a good comparison with Will Prowse. We shall see.
  20. Thank You. I have time to decide. Our 2022 LE2 has the 5,200 lb. axle. I can do 4-leaf and add the 5th leaf later, or have the 4-5 leafs in the basement when we decide to sell.
  21. The later Will Prowse videos were done with battery intact
