Either get the factory rearview camera or plan on installing one soon after purchase. The second shore power inlet and second propane outlet can be very useful if you plan on doing a bunch of cooking outside, camping at places that have electric hookups and/or plan on a generator. There is an old saying - "always give the man a chance to say no". In the case of the Oliver, that would mean that you should negotiate your best price and then ask for a little help (discount) off that price. In any case I would not expect anything more than 1 or 2 grand discount. Or, perhaps you could ask for them to sweeten the deal with something that caught your eye on the sales floor - camping rug, grill, chairs, fire pit, etc.. Perhaps Oliver has a floor model that comes close to what you are looking for and they might be interested in making you a "deal" on that one. It never hurts to ask. Good luck! Bill

Make sure that you take a notebook and camera at your delivery. Take as many pics as you can - they will help you out later. Have fun! Bill

Is Crazy Horse nearby?😁

Now, the original question makes more sense! Bill

I believe that it was Patriot who first brought Sea Biscuit to the attention of the Forum. They certainly do have quality products and both you and Patriot speak very highly of the owners. Also, glad to hear that the Elite I is working out well for you - your 15,000 miles in the first period of ownership is a bunch. Bill

Of course, there also could have been an issue with the adjustment of the brake shoes and/or with the automatic adjusters. But, most likely (as jd1923 first pointed out) your brake controller is set too high. Any way you slice it (unless you have the bad habit of "riding" your brakes) 24,000 is way too soon under anything near "normal" usage to wear a set of trailer brakes out. Bill

I'm sure that you will receive a bunch of differing views on this subject and your question. As is covered in the many posts related to this subject, there are those members that believe that the stock suspension is underrated and there are those members that believe that at least some of the issues you might read about are due to things wearing out. There are other opinions that Dexter (the main suspension parts supplier to Oliver) had a run of "bad" or "defective" or "weak" or .... parts from China that caused at least some of the issues. And, of course, there is the manner in which and individual trailer was used - a bunch of rough off-road activity, hitting curbs, etc. Happy reading! Bill

You mean like - THIS VIDEO Bill

I apologize for the thread drift - but - those battery slide tray stops are interesting. Cheap, easy to remove/replace and appear to be effective. Bill

Ron - there are a bunch of posts on this subject. I found THIS ONE by using the Search function at the top of the page. Bill p.s. since you are fairly new to the Forum - all you have to do is left click on "this one" above and it will take you to a post on the subject.

Tell the guys "Hi" for me. I'll be there in September. Bill

If anyone needs new chocks for the upcoming season, Harbor Freight has them on sale with the coupon below: Bill

Yes - your year and hull # now appear - thanks for doing this. Of course, you can add other information , tow vehicle, battery configuration, inverter size, fridge, furnace, and hot water configurations, etc. if you want. Take a look at the signatures of others to get ideas. All these details are not necessary, but, they do help the members of the Forum to help you in the event that arises again. Bill

Any plans to return the battery to BB under their warranty? Bill p.s. nice test - since you didn't mention it - did you keep track of the positive terminal temps when you did these tests?

Ron - Have you checked the connection(s) for all wires coming into your negative bus bar? Perhaps before that try unplugging the TV and/or stereo and then try your cabin lights - same dimming? What I'm thinking here is that either you have a loose wire(s) on the negative side or that there might be a electrical short in the TV or the stereo. Bill
