Agreed 100%, wish we had the option of a manual awning!

Nope vents are still in the battery door, the drop down table replaced the bottom vent for the “old” 3 way fridge

Lol…we were also looking to downsize to a 23CB or 23 flying cloud with twin beds, but then we saw an Oliver on YouTube, we loved the “sterile” clean look, and of course when we saw one in person it was a no brainer. Have you looked at one in person? @SeaDawg maybe move this to an existing or new “Oliver wannabe” thread?

Welcome, we went from a 2016 AS 26RBT (twin beds) to a 2023 LEII. I absolutely loved the layout of the 26RBT, but I have to say the quality of the Oliver is much better!

We have a 2023 and there’s no DC sub-panel in the attic.

@KatjoDid the triangle jacks make a difference? If yes which ones did you get?

Yup that’s true, same as the Proven Industries hitch lock, if they want it they will take it…..t’s just a good deterrent!

Promising update from Jason… “I am currently working with a company for a latch that is promising that has several unique key codes so the code would only duplicate about every 50 – 125 keys. I have not yet received the new latch & will have to do some R&D and then get engineering approval but you might reach back out to me in a few months”

I like it a lot, works wonderfully, I don’t have to use the latch, I can leave the door open when there is a breeze and the door stays where I put it….and no more fly away door!😊

Done, I drilled through both layers in the door jam/outer frame. I’m not sure it’s fibreglass, but when I drilled through the 2nd layer and removed the drill bit there were what looked like white pieces stuck in the drill bit grooves. Weird, I also got mine from Amazon and the screws were 1 3/4” long. I drilled the additional fastener holes in the door outer frame side hinge.

The screws that come with the Lippert hinges are loooong, did you drill through both “layers” in the outer frame to accommodate the long screws? In my picture you can see the hole through the outside layer of the outer frame, but if you look closely there’s an inner layer (I think fibreglass) that I have to drill through to get those screws in. Thanks!

Here are some good fuel saving tips from Jared https://youtu.be/zXZHqyGsW7E

Can’t help you with your leak, but if you paste “site:olivertraveltrailers.com forum propane leak” without the quotes into Google search you will have better results than searching the Oliver forum.

And I can confirm that the cut keys for the style 9 lock are also all keyed the same, part# is M1-525-39-S008, freely available on Amazon!

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.
