Buzzy, I do not want to make any bigger deal of this than you have tried to do, however, if I had the same situation as you I would NOT tolerate it. Those doors that come open while in transit are simply just waiting to break - either the hinge or the fiberglass or the items inside. ANY place that is cutting you is NOT acceptable for virtually any reason. What a PITA for the whole deal. Please get on the phone with Tommy or Jason to get this thing fixed ASAP - before the 2017 camping season rolls around. Bill

We had issues with two overhead doors opening while traveling on our first trip. I found that adjusting the position of the door on the hinge solved the problem. We use the one finger method for opening and closing to keep our mirrors clean(er). If someone finds a new latch let everyone know! We also had a problem with the drawer in the nightstand. One of the plastic catches inside the slide mechanism broke and I had to tape the drawer shut while traveling. Tommy sent me a new mechanism and the problem was solved. I remember that someone removed and painted the window frames to match the white fiberglass. I've thought about doing that also. Really don't like the off white color. Looks like an add on. Mike

Hi GrayGhost Our experience with the overhead cabinet doors mirrors (intentional) that of Buzzy's without the band aids. We routinely tape the doors closed with painter's tape to keep them closed while en route. Tommy provided instructions for adjusting the latches but slight tightening renders the latch useless.

Don't mean to hijack the thread away from poo, but I disagree with Buzzy's comment on the upper cabinet latches. I find that by simply putting either your index or middle finger in the middle of the latch, you can unlatch by pulling the ring with that finger and then simply lower the door down to its resting position. This way, you never have to touch the surface of the door which would leave fingerprints to clean. These latches have never come open traveling down rough roads and as Buzzy does say - they look nice. Bill

We chose the camper shell. One of the trade offs that comes with the Oliver's size, construction and technology is a bit less storage space for bulky items. These need to go in the truck. A sliding/rolling tonneau cover sat a bit lower than the bed rails and we needed to pack a few items that would have been too tall to close and lock the cover. Our travel plans include combining campgrounds and hotels and we need secure storage. The second influence was grandchildren. Oliver has three beds and we have three grandchildren that are too young to sleep outside on their own-grandpa sleeps outside. A fitted air mattress goes a long way in making this comfortable. Camper shell avoids camper's hell.
