My issue with the OE Fairview was that it leaked profusely. We just connected a spare tank to our small two burner Coleman stove, Didn't need the space heater or hot wter inside. While on the road I had our son get on the jungle website and ordered a new one.

Hence the word "similar"

Discovery FM Legacy Elite II | Luxury RV Trailers | Oliver Travel Trailers Very similar in size and weight. Not even close in price.

Anybody having to deal with Social Security?
srthomsen replied to Galileo's topic in General Discussion
I have actually done that when I had to deal with the railroad retirement board. My elected reps took very little time in contacting the 'board' and my problem was solved quite quickly thereafter. However, I must say, that the RRB is a bit more on top of things and the board certainly doesn't deal with many millions of retirees -
Shades of Sephen King. Will these tires become a sequel to Christine?

Truma Furnace: Basketball / Thumping Sound on Startup

I agree this video illustrates a problem with the water heater; however it doesn't address the issue with the furnace. -
In approx 2018-2019 BE (before oliver) we lived in the Coachella Valley in S. California. Summers were routinely 110-120 for months at a time. I was down there trying to get the house ready for our move and spent a lot of time making a bunch of tables for the new home. At night because it was by 10pm ONLY 100. We installed a minisplit in the uninsulated garage and the mini-split would easily knock down the air temp form 100 to 80 withot breathing hard. That said, I can't recall the brand however we did pay approx $3800 for the system installed. After procurring a permit, the installation took one day.

I was thinking that same thought.

This may be the capacity of the jack itself but it may not be the capacity of the jack as it is installed on the trailer. The method of installation of the jack by Oliver may or may not be as highly rated but in any case, in my opinion, Olivers specs can't be more than the manufacturers specs. That rambling aside I would prefer to use blocks or ramps to do the majority of the 'lifting' and use the jacks to fine tune that and stabilize.

On my wish list!

I have the Furrion Vision S on our 2023 Elite also and IF you do do this mod I am interested. The glare reduction alone will help. Of course a higher resolution camera would be nice but the $$$ are a bummer.

Dennis and Melissa; your first photo appears to show the small 'ball' in the end of the pin is missing. Perhaps it's my eyesight. That small ball is the only thing that will keep the pin from making its way free.

"Retired from the railroad, never met an unhappy Diesel Locomotive Engineer! 😁" I too am retired from a rilroad after 30 years and I've not seen many happy diesel locomotive engineers while on the job; there are tons of them that are very happy after retirement! 30 years UP in the los angeles basin working strictly on intermodal cars. Inspect, diagnose, repair and test. -

When we took delivery of our #1403 Elite in mid June of 2023 there was another Elite inside the gates that had been rolled and it was like looking at an absolute disaster. It did not disintegrate as a stick built would have but it was bad. The entire trailer was wrapped up up in plastic. We were told that the guy had dropped his cell phone and was reaching to retrieve it.

2026 YM Oliver awning style windows and other changes
srthomsen replied to Patriot's topic in Ollie Modifications
I like the exterior look. The interior side, especially the valence? Not so much at all. To be honest the limited opening would seriously make me think twice about purchasing the trailer. -
We used to live down in the Coachella Valley in Rancho Mirage for 5+ years and during that time drove through once! We did not own the Oliver at that time. I did however, frequent the park may decades ago while in the Boy Scouts. It is quite surreal in many places and ways.

When did Oliver begin the manufacture of the Legacy Elite ll ?

Replace Andersen WDH Sleeve
srthomsen replied to Ralph Mawyer's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
Remove the ball & ball mount from the receiver and replace them in the receiver upside down. Then use your favorite hammer and let gravity help.
