  1. I see you have a 2021. Is the radio still under warranty? Even if you're just barely out of the warranty period, Furrion might still honor it if you contact them.
  2. Edison was right the whole time.
  3. That's a new feature. The radio uses a combination of microphones and motion sensors, interpreted by A.I., to determine your mood. Based on that evaluation, it automatically picks the appropriate genre of music for your mood (based on an analysis of your past music selections and Google searches related to songs and artists) and powers up. Future revisions will also feature integrated mood lighting along with the audio. To stop the music, remain perfectly quiet and still while breathing slowly and twitching your eyes to simulate REM sleep. This will signal the A.I. to terminate the music. NOTE: Swearing and gesticulating energetically in the direction of the radio will only serve to switch the music to Kenny G. or a similar genre, so caution is advised. Or, it's broken. Good luck either way.
  4. I'm seeing this more often these days, 26-27' travel trailers with 2 ACs. I don't get it. We were in the Badlands and AZ in mid summer with our travel trailer that size with 1 AC and got by. Even our 32' fifth wheel has only 1 AC and it's been fine from the mid-West to the east coast. All this will do is lower the line voltage in campgrounds even more.
  5. We're going to put our 21 gal "Turd Taxi" in a cargo carrier in the rear hitch of the Ollie: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004QEKGA0/?coliid=IYU4N4K30PK4C&colid=3HP9GD89VQ4XP&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it There's room for our tank and a few other things.
  6. Prediction: the diesel will feel like there's no trailer back there at all. You'll have to be careful when you hitch up or you'll be 2 hours away before you realize the trailer isn't behind you. 😁
  7. Very nice. We are white truck fans ourselves. Congratulations and a safe trip home.
  8. Planning to install a Diamondback SE as soon as we return from our final trip with our fifth wheel in a few weeks. Going to add the Frontrunner racks and put the bikes up there.
  9. Congratulations! Have fun on your delivery trip and post some pictures!
  10. I think I'd go with either clear Gorilla Tape or Geocel Proflex RV sealant as a temporary repair.
  11. Happy to hear you have another Ollie and are already enjoying it!
  12. If the propane burner is running, I'm guessing a lot of sediment on the bottom of the tank...? Pull the anode rod, flush the tank, replace with new anode rod as needed.
  13. Was looking at the same thing. How about this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000WENDUS/?coliid=I3M7OYXJTF68L3&colid=3HP9GD89VQ4XP&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it In the end, I think we're going to put a small cargo tray on the rear receiver and mount our bikes on top of our tonneau cover instead.
  14. I installed Latch.it locks on our fifth wheel and a fire department trailer. Very nice locks. The only problem I had was that the AA batteries they came with were junk.
  15. Lots of torque in electric motors so they are great at pulling things, but the range and recharging capabilities aren't where they need to be yet. At least not for RVing.
  16. Correct. It's disconnected because the lithiums can absorb power way faster than the vehicle alternator can handle. (My probably over-simplistic understanding of the engineering.)
  17. We've put metal stems on every trailer along with the TST sensors. As soon as we get Eggcelsior home, she's going to a tire shop for wheel balancing, metal stems, and chromed steel lug nuts.
  18. Liked others have said, all RVs leak. We are buying an LE2 for that exact reason. With our previous RVs there was always fear of the dreaded delamination of the walls because of a leak somewhere. That's not possible with an Oliver. As my wife keeps telling me, "no RV is perfect." I don't care for the sliding windows on the Olivers, would prefer swing-out. I wish the LE2 was 8' wide instead of 7'. I wish the black tank was a little bigger. But overall, the Oliver scores more points for us than it misses, and number 1 of those is the general water resistant nature of its construction. As others suggested, browse some of the other manufacturer's forums and owner YouTube videos. So much water damage and so many cracked frames, even on the supposed "full-timer" rigs. No wonder they lose value so quickly!
  19. They are? 2022s, or just new orders for 2023s? Would be a treat to find those bigger panels on our 2022 this summer!
  20. And, of course, leaving the RV in the little car made them harder to spot. Rescuers found the RV first, then followed the tire tracks to the car. Much easier to see a 30' motorhome from the air than a small car.
  21. Yes, I was referring to the orange blocks. We put those under our tires instead of one of the ramp products like the Anderson.
  22. We've used the Lynx Leveler lego blocks for years. No issues and they can be used for leveling other things around the campsite. Used them once to build a higher ramp so my stinky slinky would drain better. Use them under the jacks. Used them to level a picnic table leg, etc. etc.
  23. We've seen stick-built campers that rolled. Nothing left but debris and the frame. I was looking at that, too. Looks like the mass of the interior shell popped the outer belt seam open like a plastic Easter egg during the roll. Wondering if the inner shell also separated into its two halves, or stayed together? @QuestionMark I hope your insurance comes through quickly and you can get back on the road in an LE2 soon.
