OBI Dweller Review and Discussion

Your best option honestly is just don't use it, get a secondary stove and table. That way you can put it where you want, I have a 15' propane hose that I connect to the trailer fitting.
I use the obi stove as counter space.

Yeah, we use a jetboil genesis sometimes, but wondered if anyone upgraded their stove/ sink combo. Bummer to have a stove & not use it.
Redcamp makes a folding aluminum accordion style wind screen, It's what we use with great success.
The Dometic stove that comes with the OBI has one burner at 3,700 btu's and the other at 5,900btu's. Dometic sells another 2 burner unit with near the same cut out footprint that has both burners at 5,900 btu's but the burners are off set, not side by side. Just FYI.
I'm in central Maryland.

I have 2022 Dweller 15 with same problem. In looking back when I purchased it new Aug 23 it wasn't leaning. I swapped out the shocks 6 months ago and remember a friend following me on a hunting trip and he said camper was leaning. Same trip, right after shock swap, on way back from Colorado the right rear Triangle tire blew out. Not sure if that had any effect. Now Im looking at the leaning 2 inches. I jacked it up under hitch. The shocks on door side are 1 3/4 inch shorter than other side. These are the Monroe Magnums recommended here. I can visually see the springs are also shorter but not maybe 3/8 inch or so. Not sure problem. I did take fridge out due to its location and nothing changed. Something don't add up. Possibly bad shocks on low side?
Shocks shouldn't effect ride height (out side limiting travel).
Springs set rid height. So either you are loaded heavy on one side vs the other OR your one spring is supporting less than the other. Swap the springs left to right see what happens?
If your shocks are 2" different in height fully extended then maybe they are limiting the rebound on one side? Take them all off drive around the block to reset things and remeasure?

I will try your ideas. The only other thing is the 3 batteries are all on the low side along with fridge and stove. Other than that there isn't anything loaded inside.
Nope, but take plenty of pics if you do.
Rblitz this site also has parts, I saw some jack parts on there list.yeah, I'm just buying all new rims as I can find those easily.
I'm trying to buy a new stabilizer; one of mine was damaged by road debris. I've looked at the Ark stabilizers but they are only sold in pairs and are more than three times the cost of the Compaks RV stabs (shipping included.)

Yeah, this top part of the leg is what I needed. https://purplelineusa.com/product/stabilizer-legs-top-section-op4-op2/
There are two locking pins that come through the punched holes in the circular piece to lock the leg at a particular angle. What I learned is they are not high strength steel. If you put too much weight on the stabilizer leg it will bend the pin preventing you from pulling out the handle used to retract the two pins and rotate the leg into position. Mine was bent from road debris wacking the leg when going 65mph. I took the whole thing apart and bent the pin back into shape and it works a little better now but it's not perfect. But I now know how to completely disassemble and reassemble those stabilizers though!
(FYI, for anyone who is ever taking these apart, there is a slotted spring pin that attaches the gear to the bolt you rotate to lengthen or shorten the leg. You have to punch that out. It's an 25mm long 5mm (M5) OD slotted spring clip if you need a replacement.)
