I too made the jump from a NuCamp 400 to an Oliver. I don't regret my Oliver purchase; but I still have a fond spot in my heart for NuCamp in general and my Boondock 400...

I tow with a 2019 Ford F-150 and have the 640 AH lithium batteries. Sometimes (not always) when I start my F-150 when towing the truck has a weak crank/battery but (so far) always starts. Since I have 640 AH lithium batteries the truck alternator is not used to charge the batteries. The running lights of the Oliver do draw the charge from the truck, but seems unlikely being enough of a draw to weaken the truck battery. The truck battery is less than two years old and tests Ok. So, what are the potential causes of the towing truck weak battery{?} and weak start cranking? Need larger battery? Need new or alternator or high capacity alternator? What is your guess? Has anyone else experience weaking starting crank when towing an Oliver Travel Trailer?

3500 pound versus 5200 pound axles on a LE2
Gliddenwoods replied to John and Debbie's topic in General Discussion
Alcan said they contacted Dexter and Alcan said Dexter my Oliver did not have Nev-r-lube. In addition others had a different opinion of both you and Alcan. So I went on a mission to determine for myself even tho you, and others, were so sure of themselves. Not until late this morning did I determine for sure I have both. Oliver websites have alot of "experts" who are often wrong. -

Gliddenwoods replied to John and Debbie's topic in General Discussion
The axle label includes "nev-r-adjust"......does that mean this axle does not include "nev-r-lube"? Confusing. Does the 2022 have both -
Off topic. What area of Wisconsin? Door County here...

Thanks for the explanation! If I understand correctly it is very possibe (likely) I have "nev-r-lube" axles AND "nev-r-adjust" brakes. Yes? -

I should added to my previous post that my maintence/service (or lack there of) has been based on Owner Manual statement that my Oliver has "nev-r-lube" axles; now I need to find out what "lube" has been missed by the miss-information. -

Alcan now agrees that I 5200 lb axles the same as a couple of you also stated so. Thanks. A follow-up question. Alcan points out based on my axle label states that I have "nev-r-adjust" Dexter axle NOT "nev-r-lube" Dexter axles as the 2022 Oliver Legacy Elite II Owners Manual state are on the 2022 trailers. Is one "better" than the other? Should I be concerned that my 2022 Legacy Elite II does not have the "nev-r-lube" axle as the Owners Manual states? Does the question of "nev-r-adjust" vs "nev-r-lube" have any bearing on my decision to have Alcan leaf springs install. Thanks in advance... -

I contact Alcan to upgrade/replace my Oliver springs. They replied and asked do I want to also upgrade my axles to 5200 lbs. Why would/should I do that? -

Greetings, We are going to be at Oliver Home in September for some fiberglass repair for a couple days. Seeking recommendations for a nearby (within 25 miles) Bed & Breakfast to stay at while service is being completed. Any thoughts will be appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks. Any guess on the cost to have Alcan install the Alcan 5500 lb leaf springs? I plan to be in Colorado in September. Any advice as to what to include in my conversation when I call them to order the service?
