Thank you, I've written to J Walmsley, but he hasn't read my message yet. Tim

Hiya, I've sent a message to JWalmsley. If that fails I'll try Jason directly. Of course you could reach out to Jason, too. 🙂 Thanks, best Tim

Well, after opening a case with OTT tech support I received and answer indicating they were not involved with Forum management. Happy to PM the moderators were I to learn who they are. Thanks Tim

Hi Bill (et al) - Thanks for the suggestions, I will open a case. To answer your question, for the same reason Ollie owners replace their trailer's springs when they might otherwise appear to be in good shape 😀 Or maybe I'm just paranoid with too much time on my hands? Anyway, I'd like to keep them out of the trash for the time being, at least. It seems to me like they might make a good 'just in case' spare to have. They are small and don't weigh much. Thanks, best Tim

Hi all - Perhaps we need a 'free stuff' sub-forum 🙂 Just replaced the propane cover draw latches on our 2021 LE2. Accordingly I have two spares, in good used condition. I'm keeping one 'just in case'. The second one is available for the shipping cost. More info here: https://www.htfhardware.com//240-150-10702.html If you are interested PM me. Thanks Tim

Sierra Pacific (SPEP) 240-150 draw latches are available from Hard To Find Hardware, htfhardware.com. Tim

Nice mod. A question about the elbows: You indicate they are 'street', are these 1/4" female NPT or 1/4" inverted flare on the input (pigtail) side? Thanks Tim

We are planning a trip which includes a possible stop in Virginia Beach. We understand the Hampton Roads Tunnel on I-64 has been and is under major construction. We drove through there in 2024 and it was kinda hairy. Has anyone been through there recently pulling their Ollie? Thanks Tim

Free to a good home (ok, for the shipping cost): A pair of BAL X-Chocks. We do not use these and do not plan to use these. Very light rust in spots, otherwise fine. Shipping from 01760, guesstimate 15 lbs combined. Thanks! Tim 2021 LE2

Here's what I did to cover the hole formerly occupied by the OEM detector. The plywood is held in place with 2-sided tape, which is now under mild compression due to the tension of the backing plate screws. Screws are #6 x 3/4". Tim

That fuse placement is ridiculous. Once found it isn't hard to remove, but getting back in was a struggle. Hopefully it has been moved closer to the detector itself in current production. Tim

Thanks to everyone for sharing their experiences, we are hopeful. We run the tires at 60 psi but will try lower pressures in the future. Thanks Tim

We replaced the OEM springs on our 2019 LE2 (hull 701) with Alcan HD springs a couple of weeks back. Certified RV in Holliston, MA did the work and, other than having a drop link flip as we lowered the trailer off the jacks, the work was done without drama and to our satisfaction. We then did a 650-mile round trip to the Lehigh Valley to meet up with some friends from Pittsburgh. I re-tightened the bolts after 300 miles and will check them again now that we're home. Not long after leaving home we felt the HD springs have caused a significant increase in "jounce" (pitch) of the TV, which is a 2019 F-150 SuperCrew, 145" WB, 5'7" bed, FX4 off-road suspension. The TV bed was lightly loaded, perhaps 125 lbs total, with another 50 lbs in the cabin rear seat area. The effect is that the rear of the TV is accelerated upwards when the Ollie hits a large bump, more than we remembered. Anyone else experience this? Mechanically it makes sense: the Ollie suspension is less compliant, so the hull moves more and transmits this motion to the TV. Something to consider when changing springs... Improved corrosion protection is one thing, increasing stiffness is an entirely different thing. As a postscript, we recently spoke with a guy at a campground in Morrisville, VT who was pulling a 30' Airstream with a Ford Expedition (not a Max). He insisted that bigger / heavier / more stiffly sprung tow vehicles were not obviously better and mentioned a Canadian YouTuber (name? Too lazy to look) who espoused this view... We did not change the axles nor replace the equalizers. Tim

I ordered the Pioneer. Will post updates as things progress. Tim

Sorry, I see this question has been asked in another thread. Please disregard! > Is the Max model required? E.g., is the 'fan off' function specific to that model?
