Closet Door/Fire Extinguisher Bolts Too Long
Gliddenwoods replied to Gliddenwoods's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
TG2. Did not. New to the process. Will do. I must stress I am very pleased with all the O staff I have met and do not want to be an unnecessary pain in... Thanks. -
Closet Door/Fire Extinguisher Bolts Too Long
Gliddenwoods replied to Gliddenwoods's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
Thanks for the replies & just confirming my perspective. My O is 2.5 weeks old and I am very pleased overall & very impressed with the quality & the O staff (good people!). However, I (as a boat & furniture woodworker) can not in anyway understand the O use of too long of bolts that are just wrong is wrong. No woodworker would do this. I checked the door in the showroom and the same incorrect bolts/construction is on the show O2. I hope O is listening and will correct this error going forward. Disappointing. Easy for me to fix, but... -
Closet Door/Fire Extinguisher Bolts Too Long
Gliddenwoods replied to Gliddenwoods's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
John ED...just a minor no skin break scratch on shorter person; I don't want my message to overstate... -
The bolts extend approx 1 inch longer past the bolt nuts. Already had caused a leg scratch. Protective rubber caps were installed by Oliver, but wht not just use correct bolt length during construction? None-the-less does anyone have a good reason why I should not just cut them off to shorten? Hacksaw in hand... Thanks

Gray water tank handle/cable disconnected
Gliddenwoods replied to Gliddenwoods's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
Thank-you John, Frank & Mike; clear very helpful replies. -
We have plugged our brand new 2022 (#1242) Oiver II into three different electrical outlets with GFCI at three different campgrounds and each time the campground outlet breaker trips; no 120v. If the outlet is not GFCI all is fine and we have 120v service. Question. Is this normal? Is it correct that all Olivers can not be used with 120v at any campground with GFCI outlets? Or is this situation unique to our new Oliver II? Many campgrounds have GFCI outlets so this situation would be/is disappointing! Be advise & thanks.

Gray water tank handle/cable disconnected
Gliddenwoods posted a topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
New Oliver II driving home. Tried to dump gray tank and it appears the handle cable is not attached to the valve. I believe I recall others have had this problem. So there a thread or memo on how to repair. Thanks. Yes I will add my rig & tow info when home...2022 Oliver II. -
"20" Xantrex message on new Oliver

"20" Xantrex message on new Oliver
Gliddenwoods replied to Gliddenwoods's topic in General Discussion
Update on no 120v. Stopped at a different State Park that did not have GFCI breakers and the 120v to the Oliver worked fine. This is good. But drove on to another State Park for the night and it had a GFCI breaker and again the breaker would trip; so no 120v to the Oliver tonight. I used both of my surge protecters to test the campsite electric for bad wiring and both showed good wiring. (See attached photos.) So...there is something wrong with the Oliver. Disappointing to say the least; will talk tomorrow. Thanks for your help. -
I had an "20" message on my Xantrex monitor and now can not get 120 power. What do I do?

SeaDawg. No the original contractor is not involved with this project. A couple of us are the main crew doing the work and we are bringing in contractors as we need equipment and/or a couple younger/strong backs. Standard concrete project design and construction. The finish project will have vertical concrete walls pinned into the existing slab & the building footings. The vertical walls will also have angle rebar connecting to the floor slab rebar. No remaining exposed soil. Fun project and not "Ollie love"; simply when you live in Wisconsin you don't spend $70K+ on a new toy and have it sleep outside in the winter.

John the project is now ovet excavated to allow for the placement of gravel before pouring the floor. There will an additional floor drain installed in the center of this bay in the new low point. The new door will be a full 10 feet. The floor will slope in to a maximum new additional depth 1 foot down where the Oliver wheels are. This allows good clearance under the garage door opener.

Back in February I was searching for advice of how I could reduce the Oliver overall outside height because my extra building garage door height was approximately (and only) 3 inches too small. Potential solution advice included raising the ceiling and/or door height, installing different but smaller AC, letting air out of the tires, taking the tires off and more. None of the ideas, while appreciated, just didn't appeal to me and/or would not work. So...I am lowering the floor! See the attached photos. We install steel rod and pour concrete during the next couple weeks. Photos of (the successful?) the completed project to be shared in the future.

Heard from Oliver Inc today. The "no microwave" option is no longer (2022 orders) any more. Disappointed...
-
What does the inside space of where the microwave would have been installed look like? Is it finished or is it rough? Is it possible to get a Oliver door for the space to match the others?
-
Is it an option on a new LE2 order to NOT have a microwave installed? If not an option; has anyone removed the microwave? End result? Problems or went well? Finished empty space how? Please share pictures if possible. Thanks

I just sold my nuCamp TAB 400 Boondock Lite and will get delivery on an Oliver in September. Davies is correct the Alde heating is very good and I do not look forward to force air. However we plan more colder shoulder season camping and we are giving Oliver a go as it appears better than my TAB 400. If we wish another change we can always go back to nuCamp in a couple years. nuCamp and Oliver are both are such a higher quality overall than so much of the rest of the RV world.

Designing some modifications to my storage building for my future (September 22) Elite II and I seek some measurements. I thought I had previously seen a diagram on the website that included them, but can not find again. I need the measurement from the hitch end to centerline of the front axle and from the back bumper to the centerline of the back axle. Can someone please either direct me to the location of the required Oliver diagram or provide the measurements? Thanks Door County, WI

I have a LE2 ordered for next September delivery. I store my current (NuCamp TAB 400 BD Lite, which is for sale.) trailer in my extra garage and intend to do the same with the Oliver; however my garage door is 4 inches too short. I have a construction plan in the works to lower the floor and install a taller door. This plan will work but will cost a couple dollars. Recently I wondered whether a different approach would work? The different approach is to replace the Oliver installed AC and fan units with lower (4.5 inch+) profile units. Plan A will cost a fair amount so I do have a sizable budget for Plan B. I asked of the learned Oliver owners (some have already replaced both units) are the AC and fan units on the market that would lower the profile by 4.5 inches or more? Thanks.

Topgun2, I do not understand wider at knees. Please explain.

We want our cake and eat it too. We are interested in the twin beds to gain the center walkway, but we want the king bed at night. It is our understanding that some Oliver owners have come up with a support system to cover over the center walkway to make a king bed; some sort of support platform we understand. Is anyone aware of such a system? Comments and/or advice? Pictures? Thank you for any assistance you can provide.
