Hi Overland We have found that keeping the nightshades raised an inch or two at night helps to keep the windows from fogging up on the inside of our windows. Also, I'm a heavy set male while my wife is petite. At times we have found condensation under my mattress but not hers so I,m producing much more body heat than her which I assume is causing the condensation. We bought and placed a moisture barrier AIRE-FLOW™ MOISTURE BARRIER pad under each mattress and have had no more issues. It is inexpensive to purchase a roll and cut it to the size you need. I believe that I used a box cutter at the time. This is the website where we purchased the product. We love the product. Hope this helps. www.mattressinsider.com Hap

Hello all a few more cents into the well, one thing I would always do is have a back up plan I love my Oliver but any heating system can have issues, run out of propane, have a leak, battery loss, wire loss, sail switch stuck, just plan fail, campground lose electric ( this has happened to us ). We carry a Buddy heater and works very well, warms it up before going to bed and getting up in the morning. This has saved us before with a wire coming loose while in Alaska once. Just some added insurance that we carry and will have in mu truck when we leave next week for quartzite. Safe travels Gary.

We opted out of the microwave and am sure glad we did. The resulting cabinet has been an incredibly useful and much needed pantry for storing all kinds of stuff we use on a daily basis. In the Elite, there is just not a lot of storage, and this cabinet has really been useful. The interior dimensions are: 21-1/2"wide x 14" deep x 13" tall. The actual opening is a bit smaller because of the face frame and the door itself. That opening is 19-1/4 wide x 11" tall. Dave

Finally we can contribute (I think) to the forum. We purchased this bug screen from Walmart Online. Used twisted wire to connect the screen to the Ollie

I had to break off the little safety bumpers on the back so that I can scoot it back for the door to close. We just have to make sure we pull it back out when using it so it doesn't cook the rear wall.

The 110V outlet for the microwave is in the overhead storage cabinet directly above the microwave. You can have them put additional outlets just about anywhere you want. Mike

HAHA! Yes the dogs got an apology. :-) But they've got it pretty good all in all.

Congratulations! Now the wait begins.... We are sure enjoying our Oliver and hope to see you out on the road. Mike

Now we just need the 28' Oliver Toy Hauler to be born :)

Those are scuppers, and yes there are a few under there. I haven't counted them ;) The little stainless covers prevent road spray from driving up into the holes and perhaps also add a little venturi type suction to encourage moisture to dribble out. They would not stop insect entry! John Davies Spokane WA

We've experienced condensation in three areas - under the mats in both the basement and closet, and on the side walls by the beds. The condensation under the mats isn't enough for me to worry about, other than making sure to pull those mats out when in storage and just making sure the floors underneath stay clean and no mold. By the sides of the bed is more of a problem, as I woke to wet bedding most every morning on this last trip. Cracking the window and running the vent fan on low helps, but not completely. I'm not sure what my solution is going to be. I'm going to get a couple of the large RidgeRest pads to put under the mattresses though, just in case there's condensation there, or enough from the walls to drip down.

As long as there is no water in the hose between the valve,( which is inside the trailer) and the shower nozzle, you should be ok. If you use the outside shower make sure you drain that line.
