  1. I repeat - nope you're good which means - you do not have to cut or remove any fiberglass to install the Anderson hitch Bill
  2. 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
  3. 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
  4. 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
  5. 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
  6. In addition, Cedarforks did some really nice schematics of the plumbing system. You might want to PM him in this regard. Bill
  7. "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
  8. 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.
  9. Yes, those screens are designed to be left in place year round. Bill
  10. 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.
  11. 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
  12. 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
  13. I assume that you are talking about the little circular level that is located at the top of the tongue jack. I don't know what happened to your bubble, but, those levels are really not very good. Yes, it can get you in the ballpark but since it is spring mounted it can be a fair amount off true level. I'd recommend a stop at Walmart where you can purchase a set of two little levels for a couple of bucks. After making sure that your camper is actually level (using at least a 9 inch level - three foot or longer is preferable) mount one on the side of the Ollie (for front to back leveling) and the other somewhere near the front jack (for side to side leveling). Your days of wondering where the bubble went are over. Bill
  14. deniwell - As I'm sure you already know, your only choice is to either (in your situation) is to either elevate the rear, dig out the area for the tongue or simply move. If you can't get it reasonably level within a reasonable amount of time/work then that is another reason you have wheels - move. Having said this - that must have been one heck of a campsite. There is just less than a foot of elevation differential just from the tongue to the wheels which already allows for a fair amount of slope correction. Add another 4 to 6 inches or so by using Andersens or "legos" or wood boards and you get one heck of a slope. Bill
  15. Obviously in the pictures we can see what and where the problem was. But, how did you ever find it given that it was hidden by the shrink tubing? Was it as simple as noticing that the wire was loose even though the terminal was tight or did you find it via a multimeter or something else? Bill
  16. Hobo - I like the looks of that one. I'm still using a "cap" on my pigtail and have never had problems with moisture. However, the cord must still be draped over the tongue or between the jack and the propane tank cover and the "cap" just dangles from the cord when plugged into the TV. With the product you found there is no dangling of the cap and the cord is always up and out of the way. Thanks for finding it! Bill
  17. As promised, here is a picture of the closet shoe rack. If you decide to do this mod, be a bit careful to not interfere with the door latch and if your shoes are as big as mine ((or bigger), mine are size 11)) make sure that the shoes do not get caught in the door when it is shut - particularly at the top. Bill p.s. Note that the little black envelope at the upper right behind the shoe rack holds "business cards".
  18. Glad you got home safe no matter how tired. Certainly it always make sense to slow down a bit and enjoy the ride. Got any pictures? Bill
  19. Do these pics help you any?
  20. I did this mod a couple of years ago with hooks glued to the inside of the closet door. Due to the latch on the inside of the door and having the hooks on the inside of the door, there was only room for two rows (i.e. 4 shoes). However, that has worked out fine. I'll post pictures tomorrow. Bill p.s. I also "glued" the shoe holder down each side in order to keep it from "flapping" inside the door and when opening the door.
  21. Spike - I had a similar problem but I could always turn on the inverter with the button located on the main unit. As it turned out, the problem was as simple as tightening all the connections and unplugging then re-plugging in the remote cable (the one that looks like a telephone wire). Having said this, it is my gut feeling that your unit is fried. Also, I have no idea on that battery cable. Obviously it was attached to something at one time but it is not apparent to me from your pictures as to where. Bill
  22. Nothing on mine, but, I have a relatively dark color to start with. I'd contact Jason in the Service department - their toll-free number is listed at the top of this page. Good luck! Bill
  23. Toojennifer - the hull number matters in that it gives people a point of reference regarding which options were available and how things were constructed on your Ollie. That way, if you have a question about how something works or are having a problem with something, other owners will know exactly what things might apply to your particular Oliver. Jitters - Depending on your choice of coming (or going) across interstate 80 or 90. In Sydney, NB on interstate 80 there is what used to be Cabelas headquarters store. They have both a campground and another area for boondocking. The campground has a dump and full hookups or partial hookups if you prefer and all spaces are first come first served. There is a Walmart and eating places very near too. Bill
  24. Welcome to the OTT world! We tell people all the time about the factory tour and they look at you as if you just stepped off some other planet! And your tour guide was Scott? I know big shots when I see them. Have fun reading through all the posts here on the Oliver Owner's Forum. Try to not spend too much before you get delivery in September. Let us know if you have any questions too. Bill
