I only asked re the front logo, but both would be nice! Striping can be anything or going without works. Are new Olivers delivered without the front Oliver logo? I did notice looking at the Texas Rally pics that 5-6 hulls had no front logo. The big round white front looks bare without one!

You would think and they certainly should be available! I'm wanting to get the exterior of our hull looking good again! I guess I can add custom artwork like many have done but I like to restore vehicles back to factory stock condition. I was told exactly this: "The graphics are not available. A sign shop or graphic shop should be able to take a photo and recreate the graphics; I do not have a file that I can send you." I questioned this answer, to no avail. So I'm supposed to take a picture of my 10-year-old faded graphic, missing sections have peeled off, and somehow create new artwork! If anybody has Oliver artwork files for the front logo and rear-side label "Oliver Legacy Elite II" I would greatly appreciate it.

I believe it's a Scandvik. On ours the screw-on part cracked, likely from over-tightening. This is s good replacement: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AJVE86M/

I was told by one Oliver owner, at the Texas 2024 Rally, that his wife insisted their Dometic Penguin II ran on, with fan ON, running all night (this model in Auto mode will turn the fan on-&-off with the compressor). Reason was, she would wake when it turned back on. Good for her, since we with our windows open had to hear their A/C all night long (and all day for that matter)!

It's just hard to imagine how this happened. The grease fittings on the equalizers I removed were in there solid. The one fitting I removed (so that I could measure threads for you) had threads 5/16" in length. I had to turn it 4-5 revolutions to remove it. I replaced the originals (one is pictured on page 1 of this thread) because the center bushings were very worn after 7 years of use (with weak springs and lose wet-bolts). No reason for grease fittings to wear and inside the suspension hanger they are quite protected from damage. Who knows why? But it is what it is. I purchased two of these: https://www.etrailer.com/Trailer-Suspension-Parts/Dexter/013-144-03.html

Looks like this, several on Amazon, side shades too. https://a.co/d/95YrFh4 https://a.co/d/25pOwgP

Miss you guys! Was fun last year and should be bigger and better for y’all this year!

You don't really need a display on inverter/charger systems. After replacing our Xantrex with the Victron Multiplus, we covered up the hole where the Xantrex switch was with artwork! It's all about readings on the apps! 😎 The App is showing the Victron in Power-Assist mode. I've set incoming amperage for a 15A (household circuit). So to run the A/C, the Victron is inverting the net required power supplied by the LiFePO4 batteries. Xa

Learning about this kind-a stuff is why we have this Forum! These links are from the Xantrex and Victron "Stores" on Amazon. The Xantrex is $635 less and I cannot believe the price on the Victron, $100 less than I paid July 2024! Get your money back? https://www.amazon.com/Xantrex-818-3010-Freedom-Inverter-Charger/dp/B08C1VRWZL https://www.amazon.com/Victron-Energy-MultiPlus-II-Inverter-120A-50A/dp/B0BZV91KW4/?th=1

If you cannot screw them as mounted. And if you do remove any suspension bolts, be on level ground first. If not the equalizer may not want to go back in the direction it came from. 😎

Please do not do this! The better Victron Multiplus II is exactly half this cost, with better functionality and reliability! There are several threads here re failures of this brand inverter-charger.

Yes, see link below! You're Welcome! 🤣 I can understand that full-timers must get service on the road, but having service done on the road is not a good idea if at all possible to avoid! Hence your situation. I do 98% of my work myself, out of my garage, and it bothers me to have someone else touch my prize possessions, those who generally do not care! 🤣 Given service "mostly while traveling" you cannot go back to ask them to correct their work. Simply buy the correct grease fittings and get them installed.

I removed a Zerk fitting from the Dexter EZ Flex equalizer that OTT installed in our hull during service in 2018 (they should still be the same). The four (4) grease fittings that fit the EZ Flex equalizers are 45-angle with 1/4"-28 threads. This Amazon link shows the correct size and shape (taller post style), but not sure of the quality of this product (but likely a fine replacement): https://www.amazon.com/Plews-11-105-Grease-Fitting/dp/B000SL2M0M/ I needed the same kind for the wet-bolts Alcan supplied and I ordered Dorman AutoGrade 1/4-28 Inch Grease Fitting - 852-703 from O'Reilly's. Ron is correct. The fittings for the equalizers are as spec'd above. The fittings for the wet-bolts are the smaller straight M6x1mm fittings (turn with an 8mm wrench). This would work if you have an old-school local Napa that's been around for decades with the old-timers still working! When I ordered mine from O'Reilly's the sales person wanted to show me the assortment kits. They had 10 different assortments, none of what I needed and she had no idea! This may be true! And if you must do so, after removing both wheels on one side, TV attached for safety, just remove the equalizer center bolt and drop both axles enough to clear the top of the equalizer. Do NOT remove the wet-bolts as you will have trouble re-aligning them to remount! If it was me, and you are also very good with your hands and wrenching, I would try to thread the new fittings in without disassembly! You still want the wheels off to get your body closer to the work. Using your fingers get the new fitting started. Then with the smallest open-ended 10mm wrench you have, start to tighten. You must tighten as far as the wrench can go in the small opening, then turn the wrench upside down which changes the angle of the head of the wrench. Keep flipping the wrench over and over and be patient! 😎 I believe these are prone to falling out because the installers point the fittings outward and they are not tightened down to the base. Therefore they are not torqued in place, the threads are basically lose to start! Given you job-out this kind of work... Buy your new fittings, take parts and trailer to your service shop and ask them to install them! They should offer to do this at no charge, given you have used their services regularly and yes, they should have tightened them or made you aware they were missing!

The Dexter EZ Flex always comes with two Zerk grease fittings (by design, one for each lever)! Also, your left and right side equalizers must be the same! This is NOT an OTT Service issue, no reason for a Service Ticket or warranty claim. Instead of thought spent in how this might have happened, you merely need to purchase the two missing fittings ($10 +/-) and screw them into place! 😎 I have recently removed the OEM suspension from our Oliver and have these parts, EX Flex Equalizers included, in my shed. If you'd like I would measure the thread size and pitch of the required grease fittings and let you know the correct parts to purchase. Just let me know. Best wishes, JD

Good for you! My shopping cart is $1,202 (AZ sales tax is higher). Didn’t pull the trigger yet… Thanksgiving will be here soon enough! 😂

I chatted, then emailed with Turbro Customer Service. They were quite responsive, with same-day replies. I tried to get them to price-match the white one to the price on the black model, but to NO-avail! They were nice about it though. They have a "12th Anniversary" sale with a day counter, now showing 14 days ('til Sunday Nov 2nd?). The $400-off promo could end at anytime, but is likely part of their anniversary sale.

We do! Chris has used it at home several times and we took it on our recent trip. First time out, I kept it in it's retail packaging sitting on the rear bench seat of the TV. We setup a cooking table near the AC power outlet on the side of the Oliver. Cooking takes very little SOC on inverter and LiFePO4 batteries. I decided to get waterproof case for it. Not like me to spend so much on a case (just this one time)! This case fits the single-burner Duxtop Induction Cooktop nicely. With this case, we can load it anywhere in the back of our open truck bed or it can be left out at the campsite overnight in the rain. This is one high-quality case: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CJQB2JYN/

The Turbro Greenland now has a $400 promo code. This brings the model down to $1,099! If you select the model with the black outside cover, it's priced $100 lower! Total price comes to $999! How would a black one look up top? Too bad the white one isn't priced the same! 🤣

Ours has chips on the upper front too! But it's not really too bad upper or lower after all these years.

Not being a theory guy, can somebody give a real example of this? (an Energized Ground) Maybe Geoff? Also, I’ve never heard of retroactive code enforcement. My home was to code in 1980, not today! And unless I file permitting to remodel something it can exist as built grand-fathered.

I’m trying to think of a scenario where this is possible. The possibility of power to ground is the reason why circuits are protected by fuses or breakers!

Not sure, we have the Fiamma awning. Given you have a new crank, it must be the gearing on the awning, that the crank connects to is damaged in some way. Suggest you remove the crank again and inspect inside. With the crank off, can the awning be pull out manually? Something is keeping it from coming out.

Sign of a good family-oriented company! (Motorola did the same during the Great Depression! They cut hours, not family members.) 😂

I just looked. Amazon is "Currently Unavailable" and the AIRPLUS Store only shows large home units. Walmart search did not come up. If anybody finds it available online at some point, please post here! Are there other viable models, small with this compressor design? After 130 overnights in our Oliver, when I first read this, I thought bottom of the list! The humidity created within the Oliver hulls is generally welcome most places west! But after hurricane rains actually settled over Durango CO last week and rain during our June trip to the upper Midwest, I now see the occasional need for a small dehumidifier! A no-brainer for those traveling in humid climates. 🤣
