I agree, I wish there was a way to see the photos without signing up for Instagram. I too choose to abstain from social media. -- Not So Old But Still a Fart

It's official! After five 12-hour days of driving, my wife and I picked up our Ollie on the 19th. It was an excellent experience! I can tell you that these guys are there for the customer, and bent over backwards during the orientation. They made it quick, easy and painless (somewhat). The F250 has extra large eyelets for the break away chains and would not accommodate the hooks. Phil offered to drive me to the nearest hardware store to square it away, but It was only a mile down the road and they had another couple scheduled for delivery that day as well. It's the small things that prove this company was the right choice. The wife and I have been slowly making our way back to Alaska, and the last week has been awesome. We have done a little of everything so far (boondocking, two RV parks and two national parks). We just left Palo Duro Texas State Park and it was an excellent spot to spend two nights. We just arrived in Moab, and are planning to spend 6 days or so here prior to heading to Salt Lake. The Ollie is superior in every manner and it's so nice to see a well researched plan work out. I have researched every item I have purchased for this lifestyle and it has come together well. From my TV, to the bed deck, to the Ollie it's been a great week/trip. If anyone is on the fence about this travel trailer, don't be. You get what you pay for. Daily I find some small detail that I'm impressed with. I'll say the biggest impression is in the docile towing mannerisms. It is truly a joy to pull. I have many miles towing...both overloaded, underloaded, underpowered, etc., and this trailer makes it easy. I see the bigger guys and the fifth wheels in rush hour traffic and smile knowing I made the right choice. Anyways, sorry for the long post, I'm just excited! -Alex

On this page here: http://olivertraveltrailers.com/oliver-rally-hashtags/ You can view everything that is on Instagram without signing up for an account. It pulls all the photos to the page itself. P.S. It seems my link did not get posted in the first topic. I have updated it.

I use the Oliver Forums and choose to not participate in other social media! Instead of sending me and others like me away from here, please keep everything local. Why not just have a “Post your pictures” thread here? I don’t understand why you would even consider using other media..... I am certainly not going to sign up for Instagram. Sign me: Old Fart.

I'm not sure of the location, but the Oliver diagram shows a 20A breaker in that circuit. The cable runs from there directly to the battery bank. But if the breaker were tripped you would not see any voltage at the seven pin connector with it unplugged. I suggest that you first disconnect the smaller positive cables and use a multimeter to figure out which one is going to the seven pin. Make sure the resistance is near zero. I suspect that there is a connection failure between plug and receptacle. For some reason that charge pin isn't making contact when you plug in.... You need to disassemble the trailer plug and perhaps the truck socket to see if there is an internal problem. It is really common for the truck parts to get corroded and fail, but that usually takes a few years and I would not expect it on your recent tuck. The ground especially is problematic, but usually you will see weird behavior in the trailer lighting. One quick test would be to borrow somebody's trailer. Ask if you could back up to and connect to a nearby rig, and see if your truck charges their batteries. They would have to turn off their converter or solar. That will tell you if the problem lies in your truck or in the Oliver. I am not sure how easy it would be to find a "guinea pig" trailer, but it wouldn't hurt to ask over a beer and some doughnuts.... I hope you understand that you will not get a bunch of amps from your truck through a teeny 12AWG wire, but if you drive for many hours it should be sufficient. Good luck. John Davies Spokane WA
