I'm one of the lucky ones with 5200 axles, but not sure if the upgrade is worth the $3k to me as I have no problems whatsoever with the braking on my LE2. Maybe single axle trailers see more of a performance boost?

Toyota and Yamaha collaborating on Hydrogen Powered V8
CRM replied to Patriot's topic in General Discussion
Did a little research and the info in this video is completely fake. I guess they can get away with it due to the "about" description of their channel. At the very bottom it reads "Disclaimer: This is a fan channel made for fictive entertainment, and not affiliated with Mr. Musk, SpaceX, Tesla, Neuralink, The Boring Company, Neuralink, NASA, Blue Origin, etc." With close to 900k followers they're probably making over 6 figures per year doing nothing other than spreading false information.. -

A real link, like a news link, or a link to the tweet shown in this video. -

Not doubting you since Musk will likely go wherever the federal money is thrown, but do you have a link to where he states this? Last I heard, he thought hydrogen cars were the "most dumb thing ever". -

I'm surprised.. I can't think of a less efficient and more dangerous way to fuel a passenger vehicle. -
Thank you, it came out better than I hoped. I love having the large pass-through storage area but it does come at the cost of having reduced galley drawer space and ducted heat.
-
Lol.. It was the cheapskate in me that drove the decision to install vinyl. Had just enough leftover from when I replaced the interior flooring to do it and the rubber flooring was going cost me around $150. Thanks for the suggestion to caulk the bezels, going to get on that today.
-
Finished off the basement floor with some leftover vinyl flooring and installed a couple of light bars... On to the next project!
-
I use a microfiber cloth with 3m Perfect-It Light Cutting Polish + Wax. Takes any black streaks off very easily too as long as there's already a good coat of wax on the hull..
-
Looks like you have a lot more work to do than I did. I got off easy as I didn't have any water line rerouting to contend with. After seeing pics of your basement, I'm now wondering if I should go back and install the light bezels through the Reflectix or not.
-
Thanks, it came out better than I thought it would and I'm now very happy to have eliminated any chance of future moisture damage.. And yes, I used 3M Super 77 spray adhesive for most of it and Velcro strips for around the lights to allow for easy access.
-
New PVC floor in and basement insulated with Reflectex. Still have to copy what @ScubaRx has done and build a new shower box but that will have to wait until after our thanksgiving trip down in the Keys. Will be installing a rubber mat over the floor too to keep things from sliding around.

Pretty content with my Ollie, but if it were 6-12" wider it wouldn't hurt my feelings..
-
Nice work !
-
I guess I should take a closer look at my faucet and tank valve box.. Didn't notice any cracking, but it's definitely the same one as yours and it might be better to change it out now and not have to get back into this a year or two down the road. I will also be putting in valves to isolate the plumbing but will be using manual valves since I hope to never camp in freezing temps anyway.

It was originally sold in Aug 2009 and is titled as a 2010. I've been told that it was the first LE2 sold to the public, as well as the last unit sold prior to the shutdown.
-
Thanks, it's definitely a unicorn! 😄 Outside of this basement floor issue and a few small leaks that needed repairing, she's in excellent shape for the year. Trying to keep most of it as original as possible but will definitely be adding solar in the near future.
-
Pretty sure that the insulation is original as it goes under the tanks. Looks like fiberglass in the pic but I'm fairly certain that it isn't. Looks and feels more like wool. Edit- It also has the lizard skin spray-on insulation which seems to be everywhere else other than the basement. Plan on adding some Reflectix once I'm finished with the flooring.
-
Since I purchased my Ollie about a year ago, I've had an odd odor that seemed to come and go even though she's always spotless inside and I run a large home sized dehumidifier set below 50%. Well, today I found the source... wet plywood sandwiched between sheets of fiberglass installed in the basement floor. I was under the impression that no plywood was used in construction so I was a little surprised to find this. I'm now wondering if this something from the factory, or if one of the prior owners modified the basement floor? In the end, no big deal since it's not structural, and I wanted to install new vinyl sheet flooring in the basement anyway. Will probably just lay in a 1/2 sheet of PVC now prior to the vinyl.

Tire pressure confusion - Legacy Elite 2 POLL
CRM replied to John E Davies's topic in Towing an Oliver
Mine shows 65psi, but then again, it looks like my labels were made on a late Friday afternoon. Missing tire sizes and incorrect GVWR and GAWR ratings. Edit- And even "V.I.N" is spelled incorrectly. 😄 -
Tire pressure confusion - Legacy Elite 2 POLL

FYI, your VIN is still showing. Written vertically on the right side. -
Same size wheel and tire that came on my 2010 Elite II and I've had no issues with them.
-
Then most likely you just need new bulbs which are probably G4 type. I'd swap the bulbs with one of the working lights to confirm.
-
They have a 5 bolt flange, two on each side and one at the top. No numbers stamped into the axle tubes anywhere though.. Might just have to contact Oliver and/or pull a wheel to get numbers directly off the bearings. Edit- I have much of the original paperwork and just found a list of additional upgrades and it states "upgraded axles" on the list but no part number.
-
Thanks. I'm starting to think that they might not even be Dexter axles since they don't have the Dexter name or model number stamped on them. Just saw on their website that they've been doing that on all axles since 2001.
