Centramatic wheel balancing rings
rich.dev replied to rich.dev's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
Yes, almost like a spacer between the wheel and the hub. I was running Michelin LT tires -
I'm very curious if anyone has used Centramatic wheel balancing rings on an Oliver and if they like/recommend them? I have used them on my previous trailer and they definitely made a huge difference, the tires showed virtually no tread wear when I sold the trailer. I started a new post about it here

There are no Threads I could find on the Oliver forum dedicated to “Centramatics” from my search. Out of balance wheels will, or can, beat your trailer to death. Balancing your tires and wheels helps, but your trailer brake drums are not balanced, therefore your running gear is still out of balance. Centramatics takes care of this. Centramatics use centrifugal force and free moving weights (durametal and synthetic fluid) sealed in the balancer to automatically distribute weight to exactly where needed, placing the assembly in equilibrium or perfect balance. Here are a couple videos I've only seen these referenced in the Airsteam forum so I'm very curious if anyone has used them on an Oliver. I have used them on my previous trailer and I believe they made a huge difference, the tires showed virtually no tread wear when I sold the trailer. Thoughts?

Problem finding Oliver Facebook group. Split from another topic

Thanks, I made contact with that Facebook group moderator, waiting for her response. Maybe you could move this string of posts about Facebook to another post/or create one so they don’t clutter this “Oliver closet upgrade” post? thanks again! -
I believe that’s the update involving longer screws and sealant to cover the holes above these screws on the top of the AC to eliminate water leaking/intrusion. See and

How can I be blocked if I was never a member. All I can think is maybe I tried to sign up to the group when I first started looking at Oliver more than a year ago, but didn’t answer the questions! I know some of these private groups sometimes have two or three questions, I don’t always answer those questions. If that’s the case, how on earth can I explain/plead my case to the administrator of this Facebook group if I can’t even find it on Facebook?! -

Yup I am a Facebook member, and a member of 2 other private Oliver groups. Just weird that I can’t even find that group to join, this is what I see for that group -

Hmmm weird, did a group search and I can’t find that group in Facebook, only the for sale group, and Oliver Travel Trailers! -
I like the Elfa baskets but the link doesn’t work…shows “content not available”, do you maybe have more info or another link? Thanks!

Oliver factory breaker setting Xantrex freedom 3000.

Ah yes. On our previous 4 trailers with fan (AC or heat) set to auto, it would actually turn off completely when the programmed temperature was reached, a bummer it’s not the same with the truma running all the time, the auto setting is only to switch between heat/cold!

Patriot, I don’t notice a difference between “low” and “sleep mode”, is yours actually quieter on sleep mode?

Haha feel your pain, I also have sausage fingers!

Was it easy to replace that grey tank seal/gate valve?

Unfortunately not, not with my all over the place work schedule!

Noooo please let us all know how you would fix it! 😜

Thanks! I installed a complete lithium system in my now sold Airstream based on advise from Nate. He is extremely knowledgeable re everything solar/lithium related, not just his opinion but based on regulations like NEC.
