  1. šŸ˜‚ But seriously, will this Camco Rhino bumber mount work to transport an empty tote? https://www.amazon.com/Camco-Powder-Coated-Construction-Heavy-Duty-39010/dp/B07P8B9WHD?th=1
  2. Correct, here’s a YouTube video where Jason actually mentions not to leave the outside shower open or it would cause the inside water to be cold….at about 16:25 time in the video
  3. That drawing is fine, that is how the factory does it, but ONLY if you do not plan to use the black tank for either grey or fresh water storage. John, I intend to use the black tank for grey water, how do you then propose I attach the NH vent tube to the existing blank tank vent?
  4. Good question, did you figure it out? My delivery is May 2023, I believe the door opening height is approx. 13" x 15" wide.....I think!
  5. Check this thread
  6. Let me resurrect this thread! šŸ™‚ This link explains very well the difference between a desiccant and compressor dehumidifier. https://ionmax.com.au/blogs/resources/desiccant-or-compressor-dehumidifier#:~:text=Desiccant dehumidifiers operate much quieter,level of over 45 dB. In a nutshell... Desiccant dehumidifiers: Can increase the surrounding temperature up to 3-5°C **nice for colder weather**, perform well regardless of the surrounding temperature, hence, a desiccant dehumidifier is more suitable if you live in a climate with four seasons. Compressor dehumidifiers: work well at temperatures above 20°C (68°F), suitable for indoor environments that are warm, excellent choice for those living in year-long warm climates
  7. Thanks Jason! I'm a gonna be owner of a LEII (May 2023) and just sold my Airstream. Can you maybe suggest a list of recommended sealants/caulks for the Oliver, like this (below) from Airstream's Airforum. *P.S. I have already searched, which brought me to this thread, If it exists somewhere else on the Oliver website or this forum please post a link. Thanks! Richard For wheel wells/underbody: Vulkem 116 Trempro 635 Grey Sikaflex 221 Black (use Eternabond spray cleaner to prepare surface) Adseal Premium Quality Sealant Grey Roof: Sikaflex 221 White (for roof seams, seals and bonds. Use Eternabond spray cleaner to prepare surface) Sikaflex 715 (around fans, vents, skylights ... self-levelling) Adseal Premium Quality Sealant White Dicor self-levelling sealant EternaBondĀ® AlumiBond (alum. backed sealing tape, 2", 3", 4", and 6" wide) Lexelā„¢ Clear 3M 5200 (seals and bonds, comes in quick and slow cure varieties) Windows/Trim/Rubrail/Exterior Lights: Sikaflex 221 Grey (seals and bonds.

  8. What type/brand caulk did they send you, could you send a pic? Thanks!
  9. Thanks John, so glad I found this thread, was hoping I could flip the blinds so the blackout is on the bottom! šŸ™‚ Hope this function will still be possible on the newer 2023 LEII!
  10. I had centramatics on my Airstream and was extremely pleased with them, tires were 6 years old and no uneven wear at all. They automatically find the heavy side of the wheel to neutralize the imbalance by perfectly adding weight (oil and beads) to the light side, even when the heavy side changes (which does throughout the life of the tire), centramatics change with it. Here's a good YouTube video of how they work.
  11. By original standard cushions, do you mean the original 4ā€ mattresses?
  12. I agree, finalizing our options tomorrow, we will only go with the cell booster, lithium platinum package, upgrade to the 2-5/16 buldog coupler and Anderson weight distribution hitch, Truma aquago on demand water heater and truma aventa AC with electric antifreeze it **hope it comes with the truma furnace**+! , no graphics, front/rear propane quick connects, porcelain toilet (I’ll install the Airhead composting toilet), twin beds, hypervent, frosted doors
  13. Let us know what Oliver said, I'm in the same boat, finalizing options this week and was thinking of passing on the Oliver Omni-directional TV antenna, 4G cell booster and Cradlepoint Wireless WAN with LTE (won't work for me because I'm in Canada and it requires a month-to-month data plan), instead I'm thinking of installing a pepwave with poynting antenna or Speed Demon 5G Mobile Internet Bundle from your link. I had an Airstream and figured out how to run the wires but not sure with the Oliver, does it come prewired without their options, if not like you I have no idea if it will be possible to do the aftermarket components wiring?
  14. Great, so more rubber and same ground clearance! 😊
  15. I agree if the outside diameter is the same as the current 16ā€ wheels. I believe the 2023 model Olivers will be equipped with Goodyear Endurance ST225/75R15. What size 16s do you have on your LE2 Ralph?
  16. Ralph, thank you for the wonderfully detailed delivery/inspection report. Just curious why they want to switch to 15" wheels, I prefer the 16s for more clearance? Ralph, would you mind sharing your checklist with us please? Thanks, Rich
  17. ..and that is why I'm leaning towards the Airhead, even the Nature's Head (that's installed by Oliver) has the fan on the side (outside) of toilet, at least the Separett's fan is inside the toilet. That said John installed a Nature's Head in his LEII and he reported no issues having it in his wet bathroom, even without a shower curtain. Here's a link to his install
  18. John sorry I'm confused, you say I can connect the NH flex vent hose to the existing ABS/black tank vent, why would I then terminate the black tank vent? Here's what I want to do, do you mean I have to cap/terminate it below the "Y" connection so it vents directly to the roof and not into the black tank? Oh and what do you mean by "a new overboard vent line for the black tank is added"?
  19. Thanks, how easy was it to run wire from the fuse box to the water pump switch, and isn't there an open spot on the far right of the DC fuse box where you could add a 2.5-3 amp fuse and run the wire from there, I believe that's where Oliver run the wire from when they do the install right? Very good points John. Would it be possible to connect the toilet vent to the black tank vent with a "wye/y" type of connector? Also, I was thinking of replacing the black tank vent on the roof with a solar powered vent for additional venting, would that work?
  20. Oh I haven't decided yet, I know It's a matter of personal preference, but here’s why I’m leaning towards the Airhead.. Diversion system allows emptying of liquids without opening the solids tank More comfortable toilet seat Stronger fan In-line screen on ventilation hose Can specify fan housing angle More gaskets around lid to prevent smell Handles/lid on solids tank (no lid I think on the NH?) Airhead crank handle vs NH drill press style handle
