I have never had an issue receiving parts from Oliver. I send an e-mail first to: support@olivertraveltrailers.com I usually hear back from Mike Sharp within 24 hours. This is a standard part and Oliver should be able to send a replacement, cost + shipping. What is meant by "Oliver was unable to help"? You can order parts from Oliver.

Yep. I forgot to mention the awning wall switch needs to be on. 😊 -

Has this been resolved? -
Please edit and correct typos. Are these notes from the original Owner? Please add your trailer year to your signature. If the notes were from the original owner, I would be on the phone with him to get as much info as you can to share with the group.

Riley Creek COE, just West of Sandpoint, ID, off of US Highway 2, is one of the nicest COE parks we have camped at. Beautiful sites. We had site #8. Great spacing between sites. Their Day Use area has many shelters and the grounds have a sprinkler system. Looked like a golf course over last Labor Day weekend. They have a beautiful swim beach, boat launch, and Dog Island, where your pets can run and swim. Hope we can get back there again. Water and Electric

That closet is a valuable space for us. I bet in 4 years, we have only used our shower 1-2, just using the campground showers.

And apparently still with the dreaded carpet on the walls🤣

On the remote. Were you able to open and close the awning? -

Ours is 7 years old and keeps going. $1,300+ for another 50L National Luna probably wouldn't be in the cards. I would most definitely do my homework if I needed to buy again. I believe there are other good choices, but I don't know what the price comparisons are. As far as product goes National Luna is the top of the line. I hope I don't have to purchase another one.

It came highly recommend by an off-road group I was active with in my truck camper days. I'm sure there are some quality top loading fridge/freezers out there. Back when I was looking the Dometic unit had an issue with their low voltage cut-off that would shut the unit down before it came close to low camper battery. That just didn't work for us, since we were in the back country for a week at a time. Never had an issue. Reviews and word of mouth would be a big help. If I was buying now, I doubt I would have purchased the National Luna. Having the choice of all fridge or fridge/freezer is the big thing as far as I'm concerned. Hope that helps

Our 2022 LE2 has a Norcold Absorption fridge. At one point there was a switch from Dometic Absorption to Norcold. We had an issue diagnosed as an AC Element failure. It was covered by Norcold's warranty and replaced at a Norcold approved RV Dealer. We were able to use DC when we were plugged into shore power or LP, so it didn't affect or use of the fridge. This topic will hopefully provide some good suggestions. For now, I will be interested in what others have to say. I would have no idea what to stock up on. Will RV Dealers be able to stock items? Norcold would only ship the AC Element to an approved Norcold Dealer that I selected. They let me know they had the part and scheduled an appointment back in 2023.

I believe the fiberglass is covered for 5 years by Oliver.

Highway Trailer Sales in Salem, OR greased our zerks, and has a very good service department. I would go back in a heartbeat if we were going to be in Oregon again. Not in Western Washington, but considerably closer than Hoenwald, TN. -
Oliver Legacy Elite I wanted: Great Lakes region.
John Dorrer replied to BradAndKay's topic in Introduce Yourself
Here is one in Little Rock, AR. Confining yourself to such a small radius around Detroit will limit your ability to find one. -

Oliver Trailers for sale Facebook has a number of Elite 1's listed. That is the one place where you will find a lot to choose from. -
How to stop AC from clicking (attempting to start?)

How to stop AC from clicking (attempting to start?)
John Dorrer replied to GlacierGirl's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
That Domestic Thermostat has been a work horse. She has a 2021 LE2. There is a great video by Jason and he show how to reset the thermostat to factory default settings. Replacing the thermostat would be a last resort. I would try the reset before I did anything else. There have been several owners that experienced this very issue and they solved the problem by doing a factory reset. -

John Dorrer replied to GlacierGirl's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
Barb, did you try the factory reset that Jason showed on his Thermostat video? I would give that a try before the breaker. The reset is to factory settings. Something might just have gotten out of wack. Worth a try. -
I had a couple great conversations with Lithonics technical. We were instructed to run our batteries down to 48-50% once a year. They said no issues keeping plugged in. We store inside an unheated warehouse with the trailer plugged into shore power, and the battery warming blanket on. In Indiana we get numerous days down near 0° - 20°. We also turn off solar. Storage is one hour away from our home. We visit the trailer once a month to check on everything. We check both the Lithonics and Xantrex Apps when we are there.
