Yup the way things have changed with Oliver in the last 5-6 months, anything can still happen....and yes nobody really knows except the Oliver owners, like Oliver being sold to one of the large RV companies like Thor, money talks especially in this day and age!

There are 16 zerks (8 on each side), THIS video from Oliver (Jason) is a good reference for where the zerks are and how to apply the grease.

Very nice thermostat but sadly no option for Truma on their website!

@GlacierGirl yes use pink foam insulation or 3M Thinsulate 600.

@Geronimo John like @topgun2 said, the shape of the door has not changed, and I added the 3M Thinsulate 600 and 1/2” foam pipe insulation. As far as I’m concerned the reflectix on the inside of the bottom outside hull is pretty much useless as a good insulator, so I have added Thinsulate pretty much everywhere within reach on the inside of the bottom outside hull, including the well documented cold area behind the garage and battery and garage doors. See this post…..

Yes, I also opted for the 2 5/16” BD coupler with 12000lbs capacity.

Yup that’s the factory heat duct, comes std with the truma varioheat furnace/heater.

Agree….exactly what I did, using 3M Thinsulate SM600L and 1/2” foam pipe insulation!😊

@HDRider I also have a 2023 LEII, what is SmartLink and ProSmart?

@AlbertNTerri You had me thinking about the plastic bushings vs brass bushings, on my 2023 Oliver LEII I'm pretty sure I have the Dexter E-Z flex Equalizers with the brass bushings, per this video.

Probably the MORryde 3000 system, but yes please post the part# for the Morryde Equalizer they install. Here's a nice video explaining/comparing the most popular RV and trailer suspensions, ie Morryde, Lippert and Dexter.

John, yes it’s confusing I agree. it’s because how Dexter label the axle/spring combo. Like @Mountainman198 explained in this post, the suspension arrives to Oliver as an assembly (axle and springs), which is then rated on the lower of the two axle rating or spring rating. I googled it and D52 axles are indeed rated at 5200lbs, but since the springs are only rated at 3500lbs that’s the rating for the axle/spring assy, per the Dexter label. If your label shows D52 then yours is the same as mine, ie 3500lbs springs and 5200lbs axles. I think Dexter should clarify in this label what the capacity is based on.

@rideadeuce Very glad you and your family are ok! If you haven't already, I would strongly suggest you take your fully loaded setup (Tv and trailer) through a CAT scale. I will be surprised if you're not very close to or exceeding the payload/cargo capacity of your 1/2 truck, and possibly your rear gross axle weight rating (GAWR). That will also give you an indication of your tongue weight. I have a very nice excel spread sheet (if you don't have one) that will show you what your loads are in relation to your axles, cargo capacity etc. Let me know if you want me to PM it to you. Anyway, just a suggestion, but again, very glad you and your family are ok! 🙏

@Mountainman198 you are correct, when I saw the 3500lbs rating I just assumed its the axle rating. But I googled it and yes D52 means 5200lbs, thanks for the clarification! 😉

Wish they were, but mine is definitely 3500lbs 😔!

John, I have 3500lbs axles on my 2023 Oliver LEII, or are you referring to the single axle Olivers?

This is a pic of these stock white “shark bite” like fittings on our Truma water heater. They are definitely not shark bite fittings, believe they are “John Guest” push to connect fittings. @Toby if you do have these John Guest fittings, the big white knurled like caps can come lose, twist/turn them clockwise to tighten/lock them again, like in below pic.

@Patriot Where’s the Santa Claus beard!😜

Yah I have no idea, mine is in storage, will look into it next week.

Thought I would revive this threat. Has anyone added Lippert Jt's strong arm jack stabilizers to your Oliver? I read/seen some great reviews about how stable they are.

Yes, my trailer is only 10 months old and my springs are still good, did have cracked shock bushings that Oliver replaced with 4 new shocks and bushings. Agree sounds like (so far) a very small amount of spring issues, just hope it doesn’t snow ball into like the Lippert frame flex/broken frame issue.

Do we know that Oliver is aware of this “issue”?

Yes, HERE's an older post discussing spring over axle lift.

Yup, if Oliver came out with a bigger unit, a true 23’ or even a 26’ and dry bath they will kill that market!
