  1. @John Dorrer glad you're OK! Reed used to post here. He made a video about operating a Bulldog hitch, for those that would like to learn more about the Bulldog:
  2. @Rivernerd Congrats on your new F-350 with Godzilla! Looking forward to the WDH report!
  3. Nice looking installation! The previous owner of our 2015 LE2 also installed gutters, they divert loads of water, too!
  4. Dexter builds axles according to customer (Oliver) specifications, contact Dexter customer service during normal business hours with your axle serial number they can email a Build Sheet for your axle. When you're talking to them they can tell you if you have 12" brakes along with any other questions, I'm guessing you have 12" brakes.
  5. Sounds like you have it right. You can get additional information from Dexter on your axle assembly by contacting Dexter customer service with the axle serial number, to get a build sheet emailed from them. Here's a video about the tag you posted:
  6. Another way to find brake size is measuring the drum diameter and brake shoe height. Last time I had the drums off for bearing grease repack, seal replacement and brake inspection, measured Ollie's Dexter 5200lb axle brake drum: Edit: There is also a tag attached on the axle from Dexter (serial number also engraved on axle) that can give additional information about your axle, information on one of my axles emailed from Dexter:
  7. Our previous camper had Dometic/Seitz awning style windows that could be opened during light rain, really liked those windows, but they were plexiglass. Talked to Oliver about retrofitting an Oliver, but they are not ready to release information about retrofits, yet. Just looking and learning for now. 🙂
  8. Windows in our LE2 have this ID tag inside of the window frame. Believe our rear window in our 2015 LE2 is different size compared to current LE2 rear windows. Please let me know if I have this wrong. In the following video at the 3:05 mark he shows how to identify the existing window to be replaced using the above ID tag when contacting Lippert, Oliver told me my windows were Lippert 8800 windows. Really like the Awning style glass windows that open 90 degrees.
  9. Wow, well thought out and excellent quality work, too!
  10. Wired and tested the iRV62 today. Very easy to wire to Oliver wiring with AM/FM, DVD, and CD player working great with original Jensen TV and Jensen speakers! Great choice!
  11. I'm sure Oliver will resolve this cook-top issue, under warranty. We're like Mike & Carol, our propane cook-top has been very reliable. We use a portable 120V induction cook-top, too.
  12. @Snackchaser and @jd1923 Appreciate your constructive advice. Looking forward to wiring & testing the unit Monday! 😎
  13. Our original Furrion DV1200 failed a few years ago, I found an old stock Furrion DV1100 that was the same size and plug/play unit that only lasted a few more years. Our Original Furrion unit was much larger than Snackchaser's original Furrion unit. Like JD indicated the old Furrion cutout is large enough for an addition cabinet. Decided to use a iRV62 stereo/DVD/CD player from Amazon like Snackchaser. Cut out a large 11"X7"X1/8" black plastic sheet from Amazon to cover the old Furrion cutout. Also cut out a 11"X7"X1/16" aluminum 6061 sheet from Amazon to add strength to the plastic mounting plate. Sandwiched the aluminum sheet between the plastic sheet and fiberglass hull with the iRV62 bolted directly through the plastic sheet & aluminum sheets. Furrion unit: iRV62 with plastic & aluminum sheets: iRV unit with backing plate on right next to old Furrion unit: iRV62 installed today: Plan to wire & test on Monday.
  14. Additional information on our 2015 LE2: Contacted Oliver and they said my window is a Lippert brand and they gave me this link: https://support.lci1.com/8800-series-windows Here's a photo of one of the identification tag on one of our windows: Started searching on the Lippert website, if I find good video for window removal, I will post it.
  15. @dewdev , I have a different reason to remove the glass, but have the same question on how to remove the glass. Believe the previous owner might have put darker tint on Ollie's windows, now they have etched window spots. I'm thinking about replacing them. Thanks for starting the thread!
