Wow, glad you and your Ollie are OK! I can't even visualize how this can happen if the latch is locked/pinned unless the wire part that attaches from the latch to the collar is bent or broken. Do you have any pics from the topside?

Lol, no matter how hard I try, the only way my brain sees it is half the diameter of the axle tube and the thickness of the leaf pack. Like I said, I might be looking at it wrong... edit- Just drew it out and now it makes sense. Time to go to bed!

Maybe I'm looking at it wrong, but since the axle is in the center of the tube, shouldn't it only raise the Oliver by half the diameter of the axle tube plus the height of the leaf pack?

I used the stainless steel version of these when I added LED strip lights under my awning a few years ago. Love them.. https://olivertraveltrailers.com/forums/topic/9314-curbside-led-strip-lighting/?_rid=6801

Well, I had a feeling this was coming... I hope it backfires on them in the worst possible way. Will Prowse Sued by Dragonfly Energy Over Alleged False and Misleading Claims About Battle Born Batteries

Thanks! Our 2010 did not come with a boondock connection and I'm going to have to build one of these before we start our big adventures.

The new Apex X23 model comes with a Houghton 48 volt AC / heat pump..

I use one of these to make quick work of finding wires- Tone generator and wand.

Probably talking about this place- Suncoast Designers. Haven't used them myself, but I have heard good things about them. They provide a lifetime guarantee to the original owner too.

I have a 2020 with the V8 and have never had any problems with power or going down grades. I do all my towing in "S" and "Tow Haul" modes which makes a big difference, as does having the larger drums with the 5.2k axles. Getting the trailer controller dialed in correctly makes a big difference, too... When it comes to braking, you don't have the larger margin of safety that 3/4 ton trucks do so everything has to be dialed in. I'm with you on a diesel option and would buy one the second it hit the market. Not a fan of *any* of the modern big 3 diesel options and wouldn't even consider one.

Prior to the shutdown, Oliver was planning something similar to this. The stripped down model was even supposed to have a steel frame, though the aluminum frame was an option. Attached is the brochure for it, along with the options list. sport_22(1).pdf

I don't see any reason as to why most companies continue to manufacture standard single speed compressor AC units when inverter tech is so freely available. The prices are comparable and the power requirements are 50% or less. Makes no sense to me...

Looks that way from what I can tell, and those 48V Houghton's on paper don't look very efficient either. I think the 120v inverter units that we each have would use less power even after the loss of running through an inverter.

I had high hopes that the Chill Cube would do a better job than most with temp control since it had the "follow me" thermostat feature built into the remote. The crazy low wattage draw of these invertor compressor units makes it a lot easier to put up with minor issues like this though!

Me too... I'm also interested in the price of that solar awning as well.

I read somewhere recently that they're not using *any* Truma products in the new models.

Some things I was able to pull from a blurry pic of the brochure- Alcan springs are standard, the 48v battery is 100ah, and it seems only the AC is 48v with everything else being 12v. One really interesting option is a 960 watt solar awning. Would love to have that!

Looking at their new Instagram posts, it certainly looks like they're marketing it as an off road trailer. "Most trailers stop where the road does. Not this one- Built for the Road That Ends."

Love the new windows and hope they're available as upgrades some time in the future, though I'm not a real fan of the blackout treatment. Very interested in learning more about the electrical system, battery capacity as well as what looks to be a beefed up suspension.

From one pic I saw, it looks like it might be running a 48V Houghton AC/Heat pump.

They are 6 point, will they work with the cross holes being drilled erratically or will 12 point be needed to get things lined up correctly?

Well, after seeing this, the first thing I'm going to do is weld two strips of 1/8 steel to each side of the hole to hold the bolt from spinning once installed.

In my notes I have Alcan 5 leaf rated at 2,750 and 4 leaf at 2,250. Can anyone confirm these ratings?

Chains have to be tensioned to distribute weight, and I don't think you'll have any sway control either without the tension.

I'd agree with this if the bottom leaf was an overload type that didn't make contact with the leaf pack until a certain weight was exceeded. With the Alcan springs the bottom leaf is arced and looks to be always adding stiffness to the pack. Could be wrong.. Good question for Alcan.
