I'm on the road now and can't measure mine. However between the two I'd go bigger. I've had cheapies (relatively speaking) from Camco that have lasted ten years. I've also used ones Calmark that were very nice and I could throw them in the washer. Bill

"Normal" is 6 threads showing. I went to 7 and was told by an Anderson rep that was too tight. When straight and level the chains should barely give when stepped on with moderate pressurepressure.

You can always plead your case directly to Scott Oliver. Good luck! Bill

The snap ring is what holds the ball shaft in the housing. Last summer when I visited them I showed my simple rubber damn that I put over the ball to help keep moisture out of the assembly. Theirs is much more complicated but mine seems to work. Bill

And, the purpose of the black ring at the top near the ball is? Is there a snap ring on the bottom of the ball shaft. Bill

Mike put me on to the hitch vice a year ago and it has worked much better than the things I used before- thanks Mike! Bill

Jitters- Check everything you can find. Most (if all) half ton trucks "require" a wd hitch. Even with figures at or exceeding yours on my f-150 there is a little sticker on the hitch assembly that says a wd is required for hitch ball weights over 500 pounds. If you value your warranty and are concerned about possible liability issues make certain none is required. Bill

I agree with Steve but if they give you any trouble don't forget your Oliver warranty. Bill

I don't have a generator but I stayed at a Holiday Inn last night. One of those Hondas will run the ait but I would only put it in econ mode after the initial start since you have the microair. Bill

<p style="text-align: left;">never seen one with screws. Both old and new have a spring clip at base of ball shaft for retention in the housing.</p> Bill

Kim & Travis- I am the guy that eas pulling out of the Oliver plant just as you got there for a repair. Hope it went well for you. Bill

OTT has not Delivered any of the old style since Anderson did the switch to the new model - 2 or so years ago Bill

I repeat - nope you're good which means - you do not have to cut or remove any fiberglass to install the Anderson hitch Bill

Nope you're good. Watch YouTube video. You can place brackets in normal position on outside frame rails or on as center as JD did. Bill

Moss don't grow on these tires. Already in Montana - staying in a very nice commercial campground tonight within site of Custers LAST moments on earth. Will be fishing tomorrow afternoon. Hope Duke, Chris and the pups find me. Bill

I'm on the road now so this will be short. I was one of the first to change. Ball taper is different but doesn't show on pics very well. Whale tail attachment is also different and a great improvement. Cost is/was $100. I've not heard one peep out of the new one in about 25,000 miles. Bill

You can tell people until there are no words left and still the reaction is - seeing is believing! Welcome to our ( and now your ) world! Bill

I just try to flash them!

In addition, Cedarforks did some really nice schematics of the plumbing system. You might want to PM him in this regard. Bill

"Since you always carry your phone" Really? Sure must have a long cord in order to reach that far! Seriously - I do carry a prepaid Tracfone that I only use for emergencies and, yes, I do have that "swiss army knife" app which includes a bubble level. But, with the little levels stuck on the side of the camper I don't have to be getting out that phone and getting it in the same spot that I use to leveling each time - I simply just look at the level that is already there. Sometimes simple is actually better. Bill

Neil - Go to Travel Trailers in the blue banner above, then go to the bottom of the page under Oliver University. Next click on Legacy Elite II, find your model (2019 models are first up on the list) and click on that model. Under the index will be a list of items to include plumbing and under that you will find the page where the plumbing schematic is located. Bill p.s. I just noticed that your Oliver is a 2016. There is no schematic in that owner's manual. However, while there have been some "slight" changes, the schematic for the 2019's is really not all that different from the 2016 model. At least it should give you a good general idea of what is where.

Yes, those screens are designed to be left in place year round. Bill

Trainman - Yes, that small circular bubble level is the only one that comes with a new Oliver. A number of companies make those small stick on levels - Camco is the only one that I can think of off the top of my head - https://www.amazon.com/Hopkins-8525-08525-Graduated-Level/dp/B000AA4RWM/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=RV+bubble+vevels&qid=1561469319&s=gateway&sr=8-2-spell But, as I remember, the little ones available at Walmart are cheaper than these and do the job. Bill p.s. I got the ones that are white so that they don't stand out too much.

Spike - I too am a BIG fan of dielectric grease. A couple of times a I take a "Q-tip" and clean out both the truck and pigtail connection areas. Then using another "Q-tip" I lightly coat each contact with grease. Never a water problem. Bill

SG - I do like the fact that your idea serves double duty - holds the shoe bag AND you can use the hooks on the outside of the door for hats/jackets. Did you secure the shoe holder on the inside of the closet so that it doesn't flop around in there or when you open the door? Bill
