Truma Furnace: Basketball / Thumping Sound on Startup
srthomsen replied to DunnYet's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
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.

Yep. That's how I was taught of few 'centuries' ago! 😁

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. -
Why is it 5033#? I thought the standard D52 meant 5200 LBS. Here is a blurry pic of what I was able to capture on my phone yesterday. I do know that the axle itself may be rated at or to one spec but that the actual numbers can be less if, for instance, the D52 5200lbs axle is outfitted with leaf springs that are rated to a lower #
-
I have no idea. The tag on the axle on my trailer is located on the top of the axle tube and I wasn't able to get a decent photo of it. The photo that I did get shows a capacity of 5033 lbs.

A 2023 LE1 owns us also. Number 1403 and it too has a 5033# rated D52 axle with 12" brakes and Never Lube bearings. The main leaves number 5 and there is what I consider a spacer at the bottom that is only the width of the lower spring mounting plate and does not extend in length beyond the width of that lower spring mounting plate. Yes, you are correct; there are not many of us out there.

Ilike that design. The bezel looks good and the slim profile is good too.
