Appt at the Ford garage tomorrow. Thanks for all the input.

Will be in the Durango area in September; any camping location recommendations? Thanks

No....but after camp setup and driving around the next day all appears OK

No

How does one do your recommendation?

Yes

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?

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.

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?

Alcan confirmed with Dexter...

My 2022 has Nev-r-adjust...not Nev-r-lube axles.

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?

So...does D52 mean a 5200 lb axle?

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.

Where are they made?

John You also have a 2022 Oliver yet tou installed new springs. Others suggested replacement not necessary on 2022. Yours thoughts would be great. 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?

If I read this correctly my 2022 Elite II would have 5200 lb axle. My axle are 3500 lb; what am I missing?

Having read so much about broken springs and the potential benefit of installing better(?) ALCAN springs I have decided to "consider" such an upgrade to my Oliver. However the garage I built for year-round storage of the Oliver has very limited door clearance when backing in; just two inches. Question. After having the ALCAN springs installed with the additional spring does the overall height of the Oliver increase? If so, how much? I have revised my building three times now since having purchased three different trailers until the Oliver and I can not revise the door clearance any more so this is a critical question. Thanks.
