On our 2023 we have a solar disconnect switch in the cubby above the street side bed.

@ZLarryb those white John Guest push to connect fittings are notorious for coming loose, check them all periodically like this

Sadly the manual awning was not an option on our 2023, we have the Girard power awning. Wonder why they scrapped the manual option, Im thinking maybe because they switched from Dometic to Girard?

Lucky you, sure wish we had a manual awning! Oliver should make that an option.

Not sure if this will work with your awning.

This is a good start providing us some specs of your truck! Based on that you will be able to tow it, but what is the cargo/payload capacity of your truck? Cargo/payload capacity is the maximum weight your truck can carry, this includes passengers, cargo and the tongue weight of the trailer. Sometimes a full fuel tank is included in the cargo/payload capacity, not sure on your tundra. Look inside your driver side door jam, there should be a sticker with the cargo/payload capacity, should look something like this.. You will probably run out of cargo capacity before towing capacity with your truck. We had a VW Touareg TDI with 7600lbs towing capacity and 1200lbs cargo capacity. It towed like a champ but we ran out of cargo capacity. For example the cargo capacity from the above picture is 1390lbs, so minus tongue weight of an Oliver (mine is 700lbs ish), now you’re left with 690lbs for passengers and cargo. **FYI, our Ollie fully loaded (we’re full timers) is 6380lbs

@Lori L yes check those John Guest fittings, we had a loose one. Make sure the pex tubing is securely into the John Guest fitting until it stops, and then twist the locking nut to secure it in place. These locking nuts can come loose.

@Mike and Carol maybe move this thread to the “New Windows for 2026?“ thread that’s already 3 pages long.

Now that is really good news!😊

Some good suggestions already, also make sure your outside shower hot and cold handles are fully closed

Thanks Mike, and for those people not on LinkedIn, here’s a link of the Oliver Forum thread re the new 2026 windows.

Just me but my only interest is the new windows. I know most of you prefer the current sliding windows, I do not like these windows at all - leaks, shrinking window seal/gaskets, side window tracks on the newer models cannot be removed to clean out the tracks/weep holes (yes I know there’s a thread on how to clean them)…I just never had RV windows before requiring so much maintenance! So if the new windows are dual pane with black out shades, can tilt out fully and by some miracle will fit our current window openings, then yes I will take out a second mortgage to go that route!

John, here’s a nice video from Nate from Explorist Life explaining power assist. When my Xantrex craps out I’ll definitely go the MII route.

Same here, this is our 5 trailer and must say I really don’t like these windows!

Another sneak peak from Oliver about the new windows, to me they don’t look like acrylic, but hopefully dual pane! https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1CDPcaif7x/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Bill, the new (2024+) don’t have the fridge vent holes on the side anymore, so wondering why (with new molds anyway) couldn’t they leave out the Oliver sign hole, or maybe they have?

Glad you got sorted out, but how did it take them almost 4 yrs to figure this out?

This is what I did, cut a 1"x1'x1/2" piece of rubber or dense foam and squeeze it in here, see pic.

The friction cone is covered under warranty, but shipping cost to Canada is $53.46 so I’m looking at buying one locally. Apparently (per Anderson) there’s an old style and a new style Anderson WDH cone, the correct friction cone for my 2023 WDH is blue and looks like the one in the image I have put below. The white friction cone is for the old system, which one did you get?

Here’s a post on Facebook showing the new bathroom window, looks like a full tilt out awning window! https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1AfbuQxS34/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Mike, I see there’s 4 options for the drain master 3 valve tank kits, 6029, 6014, 6023 and 6022, which one did you order?

Ah yes, a bummer for the new owners if it’s the partial tilt out windows, I just assumed it would be the fully tilt out windows! A good reminder what someone once told me, assumption is the mother of all screw ups!

Am I missing something, I believe with a fully tilt out window you will actually have much better cross ventilation vs the stock sliding windows, it boils down to size matters! The opening with my side windows fully open is approx. 15"x18" (only approx. half of it widthwise is open), wherass with a same frame size as current Olivers but fully tilt out window you will have the entire window opening of approx. 15"x46". VS

@topgun2, I can see this topic (Oliver switching to awning style windows in 2026) getting a lot of interest, maybe move these window posts to a new thread?

Nice, I will definitely be interested in switching if the window openings of the 2026 are the same as my 2023!
