Was visiting the trailer today , waiting for parts to finish.

Delivery Day was cold, but pleasant at the Oliver Sales Office. Jason Essary was our orientation person and he was available by phone all day and night if I needed him. Jason was great! There is so much to learn for a "first-time" trailer person. There is no way Jason or anyone could fully indoctrinate a new owner to every nuance of the Oliver travel trailer. So as we camped, and tried to get comfortable with our new little home, there were situations that came up when I did not have a clue how to proceed. But a quick text or call to Jason and my problem was solved. We spent two nights at the Natchez Trace Campground. The weather was very cold and we used our fresh water tank instead of city hookup due to the threat a freezing. The heat in the trailer was very comfortable. We spent twelve nights in the Ollie as we made our way home to Melbourne. In that process we became not only comfortable, but halfway proficient trailer people. Beverly has learned quickly how to direct me as I back our rig into tight places, and I have learned a few tricks along the way. All my initial worries and concerns have gone by the wayside. We love our Ollie and look forward to hitting the road in mid-April for eight months on the road as full-time nomads.

Corcomi - You could always install an "A-B switch" somewhere in that line. This switch would allow you to simply move a slide or push a button to change from what you had to your Dish and back. They are available for less than $10 https://www.amazon.com/Coaxial-A-B-Switch-1/dp/B0002ZPIQ4/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1521552654&sr=8-6&keywords=a-b+switch Bill

Nothing like getting the new Ollie with the new fiberglass smell.. Enjoy it to the fullest

Wow, you're right. Seasucker is really expensive. When we couldn't decide where to mount our $8 paper towel holder, we used a few pieces of industrial Velcro for a few months... Then fastened it through the bottom of the cupboard with a few stainless fasteners. Guess we saved about $55. I like the ideas. Just not the pricetags.... Sherry

Congratulations! Love your color choices. Looking forward to hearing about your camping adventures! Sherry

No, you don't have to do anything, the transfer switch automatically changes over to a/c power when you plug in and the converter and solar interact to maintain your batteries.
