Received a response from Jason, sounds like the cut keys are also all the same key code...... Hey Rich, I reached out regarding the lock style 9 with key, however they informed me that the keys are not unique. It is just a little nicer heavier duty key but they would all be the same key code. This is something that I have already passed up to engineering to look into as I have been wanting to have a true lock ever since we started using the lithium batteries. I know it is on the engineering list of things to research but I don’t know how quickly it will make it to the top of the list. Regards, Jason D. Essary

Might be the water pump pressure valve, check this video https://youtu.be/0vemzasAdRY

Is that the LongHaul bike rack?

John, your price is right. I believe it's people who are not really familiar with Oliver and do not grasp/understand the value of all your mods!

Awesome thanks, I’ll check ‘‘em out as well!

Like @NCeagle said, it may take Oliver with some large orders to get a response from Southco. Changing these locks with dollhouse type stamped keys is priority for me, so yes let’s approach Southco as well. How do you suggest we do it as a group?

Update, I don't have Rodney Lomax's direct email so I emailed (see below) support with request to forward it to Rodney. I almost immediately received a response from Jason Essary (I'm impressed)...."I have forwarded this to Rodney. This is something I have brought up in the past and I know it is on engineering's list of items to look at but it hasn't made its way to the top of the list yet" I really appreciate the quick response from Jason, and even if we don't get the keyed version of the Southco lock from Oliver, sounds like at least we are paving the way for future Oliver owners! I will update this thread as I receive info from Rodney. Like I said, I'm pretty new to Oliver, so if someone on this thread has a good connection/relationship with Rodney please feel free to chip in. My email to support....... We have a 2023 LEII with "Lithium Platinum Package". I never realised how easy it would be for someone to break-in and steal these high value batteries, until I read a post on the Oliver forum that the battery and basement door, with Southco latch and stamped key part# M1-545-4 are commonly used in the boat industry (some RVs) and these stamped keys are all the same! As I think about the security and how the 640amp Lithium batteries are probably the most expensive “portable” items of my Oliver, also the easy access to the interior through the basement concerns me. I would be much more comfortable If I could replace these 2 stock/OEM locks with more secure locks. I looked at the Southco website and found that more secure latches are available. Notice the cut-key “lock style 9” (on right), vs the stock/OEM stamped key “lock style 8”. Stock “lock style 8” with stamped key “Lock style 9” with cut key Wondering if a large number of forum members approach Oliver with a collective request to upgrade the battery compartment and basement compression latches, would Oliver be open to sourcing these more secure latches (lock style 9 with cut key) from Southco and offer them to the members? Here’s the spec sheet of the Southco style 8 and 9 locks, from what I could figure out we need part# M1-20-91-78 20 = 2” hole dia. 9 = cut key 1 = 0.25” door thickness 7 = Long cam, offset reversed

Ok so from what I could figure out we need part# M1-20-91-78 20 = 2” hole dia. 9 = cut key 1 = 0.25” door thickness 7 = Long cam, offset reversed Can someone check and verify the part#, I’m very new to Oliver and contacts in Hohenwald, but once we have confirmed the part# I don’t mind sending an email to support. Pretty sure Oliver should be able to confirm the part# we need to replace the latch with “1910” stamped suitcase key with the cut key latch.

I second the TST tpms, but any tpms is better than nothing!

Count me in, sure Oliver can get a good volume discount, I’m prepared to pay for 2 from Oliver!

Yup, need the hole dia. (2 or 2.5”), door thickness, short or long cam and grip size/range. My trailer is in storage, I can check this weekend.

Ok I found this from Southco (attached PDF), so definitely available in a more secure option....i.e. style 9 cut key vs the stock style 8 stamped key that we have from Oliver. Southco M1 latch.pdf

You can replace the stock Southco lock with “stamped” key with this lock with “cut” key I found this one (not Southco), not sure if it will fit though, you can also check Southco and/or Amazon

Good on you for having the parts on hand, do you maybe have links of the parts?

I don’t notice a difference so was wondering same!

Ah yes good question, like you said, would be great if it splits the load across shore and batteries like the Victron!

If you have a Xantrex inverter, pretty sure you also want to change the AC input breaker (#28) setting from 25 to 15A, but I don't know if it will run your AC then! More experienced people will chime in for sure.

Yes we have 15” Goodyear Endurance on our 2023.

Ah that’s too bad…thanks!

That’s great, I was under the impression you cannot use the Victron Cerbo GX with a third-party inverter, can I PM you with questions about your setup, I don’t want to “muddy/hijack” this thread?

Do you use the Cerbo GX with a Victron multiplus or Xantrex?

All good thanks!

Frank, I love what you've done here, really nice job! Sorry if I missed it but what did you use to connect the braided lines to the existing plastic lines/connectors in these 3 spots? Other than the Camco by-pass valve, do you maybe have a list of all the parts you used? Thanks!

Try Trim-Gard, they have a 2" chrome molding in a 50' roll...part number is 99GT-01-50

Curious, why 2 x 100W as apposed to 1 x 200W?
