UPDATE - I just picked up a Tundra. I got (what I believe to be) a fair deal and now I won't worry about pushing the limits of my truck. I have to set up the truck and get ready for delivery of our Oliver! Thanks so much for your help. Bill

I just posted my video to YouTube. If you search "Oliver Travel Trailers Factory Tour, Sept. 29, 2020," you will find it in my channel named "Kelley Custom Leather."

John, I would have PM'd you with the question, had I known that it would cause you to re-live such a cathartic moment 🤣 It would be too cool, if an Ollie Owner of the caliber of all of you was centrally located in the US, and owned enough of a Garage/Shop that a few (2,3,5) Ollie Owners could gather and do one Mod/Upgrade at a time, each doing their own work, and helping when that 3rd hand/2nd pair of eyes was needed. I do not know if Wifey would agree to some of the mods/upgrades, for just everyday creature comfort & vacationing... but with her fascination with being able to "SURVIVE THE ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE", in our Ollie she would probably insist & assist to get them done sooner than later. Again, to the FORUM members your contributions make up for me not being able to hang out with the "Older Guys" in the neighborhood garages, listening & watching them modify their Cars & Hot Rods. Keep it up, and if you see BRIGHT in the Northern Sky, hopefully it will be "the Lights" and not our "SNY SD UP" as a result of me using the wrong gauged wire when converting over to Lithium's.

I'm a former Oliver owner. Replaced it with a Conqueror and now have a Kimberley Kruiser almost ready to ship to the U.S. from Australia. I learned about using the Andersen Plug and wiring to charge my lithium batteries in my Conqueror. I responded to a question today from an Oliver owner about charging with a 7-pin connector. The Andersen plug/wiring will charge your lithium batteries at a much, much higher rate. I've attached a document that provides info on how to install. Vehicle Prep for Conqueror Trailer.pdf

WOW so much fun ahead, Excited for you both.

The new 2022 Tundra may be released as early as mid-year, 2021, according to this article. https://www-motortrend-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/www.motortrend.com/news/2022-toyota-tundra-pickup-truck-everything-we-know/amp/?amp_js_v=a6&amp_gsa=1&usqp=mq331AQHKAFQArABIA%3D%3D#aoh=16083150847211&referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&amp_tf=From %1%24s&ampshare=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.motortrend.com%2Fnews%2F2022-toyota-tundra-pickup-truck-everything-we-know%2F Careful what you wish for, though. Looks like the big v8 may be going away. Then again, the whole article is speculation based on leaks, so who knows?

Congratulations !!!

No barrel rolls in #707...

I had CalMark quote one for me last week. 1280 plus shipping. 😞 I hope their employees saw a similar wage increase...

And just like Tex's barrel roll, it's a positive 1G maneuver and you didn't spill your drinks. Cool coffee mug.

GJ - When I did mine several years ago I simply drilled and placed a bolt through one side only. I figured that this plus the original catch would be enough and have never had a problem with either. Bill
