Thank you Ronbrink.

I need a new tongue jack for my Elite. While my LE was at an RV repair shop awaiting a window replacement, the shop bent the original jack. The RV repair shop replaced it with a new Stromberg model # Jet-3755. The rated capacity of the new Stromberg is 3,500 lbs. Is the Stromberg Jet-3755 tongue jack compatable with the weight of an Oliver LE1? What manufacturer, model, and capacity is on your Oliver LE? tongue jack? Thanks.

I purchased a new-to-me 2015 Oliver Elite. The old original Wilson 4G cell booster was not working. So, i installed a new weBoost Drive Reach cell booster with new internal and external antennas. The new weBoost did not work. Just like the old Wilson 4G cell booster, the "field test" mode on my iphone 15 Pro Max showed that the LTE RsrpRsrqSinr reading (-115 dBm) increased very little (2 to 3 dBM) when the booster was powered on. After many calls to Wilson weBoost customer support it was determined that the problem was the external antenna. The attached photo shows the 3 antenna options that I have been installed. Only option 3 worked. Antenna Option 1. The old original Wilson antenna (photo of a "stick with a ball on top" antenna, closest to camera) did not work. Antenna Option 2. A new Wilson shark fin antenna mounted on the original metal pad and connected to the original bolt protruding from the roof (installed in photo) does NOT work. Antenna Option 3. Another Wilson shark fin antenna with factory coax temporally installed by running it through the dinette window to the new weBoost Drive Reach cell booster. it WORKS! (But Id rather not drive down the road with the coax wagging in the wind.) Only, option 3 (Wilson shark fin with factory coax running through the window) works when the antenna is positioned on the metal pad. (And when the iPhone is using a "supported ATT band".) Again, Wilson customer support determined that the problem somewhere in the external antenna - most likely caused by a break in the coax or the manner that the antenna is connected to the bolt protruding from the roof. I have traced the coax as far as I can and did not find a break. Also, the very slight gain (2-3 dBm) in signal strength when the booster is powered indicates that there is not a break in the coax. Therefore, I'm guessing the problem must be the way that the antenna is connected to the bolt??? Because the trailer is new-to-me I do not know if the original "stick and ball" antenna was mounted by the factory or a prior owner. Or, if the way the coax is attached to the bolt is correct. Requests: 1. Could someone look at the photo of option 2 (the new shark fin connected to the roof bolt) and tell me if this is the way the factory would have mounted the antenna? 2. Could someone tell me how to mount the shark fin correctly to the roof bolt (without drilling a hole in the roof) so that the shark fin sends ample signal to the booster? Thank you in advance. 🙂

Are the L-shaped aluminum support also bolted to the brackets? Or, are they just between the brackets? Great info. Thank you everyone.

Thank you. The photos, measurements, and info are very much appreciated. 🙂

Is there a support bar down the middle between the panels also?

Is the aluminum angle a simple "L" -shape? Or, U-shape channel?

1. What was the brand and dimensions of the two original solar panels on a 2015 Elite? 2. What was the brand and dimensions of the two 115w panels that Oliver installed in later years? 3. What was used to bind the two panels together. Ive contacted Oliver asking these three questions, but they were not able to help me. The solar panels on my new-to-me 2015 LE1 were knocked-off when the transporter, who was towing it cross-country from the seller to me, hit a deer. They are missing. Originally, there were two 100W panels joined together somehow. Later model LE1s had two 115w panels (possibly Zamp brand) joined together. Now, Oliver installs a single 250w panel. The roof brackets are still in place but bent. There is approximately 40" between the front set of brackets and the back set There is approximately 25" (drivers side to passenger side) between the brackets in each set. I do not wish to install new brackets. So, I am limited to the front-to-back dimension of 40". The driver's-to-passenger side demension of the panels can vary ,but I do not wish to go wider than the 115w that Oliver installed in later years. Thanks

Thank you. I will follow up with Oliver - Jay

I need a cover for an LE1. Maybe you've built an "Ollie Hanger" and don't use your Calmark cover anymore? Any leads and suggested appreciated. Thanks

I'm looking for recommendations of reliable RV transport companies that can ship a used LE1 from Tennessee to Oregon. I had a bad experience shipping furniture with Uship years ago and would like to hire a transport service with a good track record. I researched Uhaul and Enterprise rentals. However, as i understand their policies, they only rent trucks for local use, not cross-country towing. Recommendations and suggestions are deeply appreciated. 😀

Looking for standard cushions for the bed/dinette for an LE1. Ive got the KTT, but prefer the dinette cushion layout. Custom cushions made locally will cost $2,500. Maybe someone in out there in Oliver Land, who replaced the standard seat cushions for a mattress, might have a set? Thanks - DD
