As has been written many time here on the Forum - install these "gutters" on a very warm day and/or use a hair dryer or strong warm sun to warm both the area where the gutters will go and the gutters themselves, clean the area where they are to be applied VERY well, apply blue painters tape over the gutters to hold them securely in place for at least 24 hours. Due to the gutters wanting to stay straight and not bend around the curve of the windows, the more surface area that you give to be stuck to the side of the camper the better. If I had mine to do over again, I'd take the gutter down the sides of the windows just shy of 1/2 way - I only went down about 3 inches and that is not enough. Good luck! Bill

Ruth Meilstrup 2018 LE2, Hull 316 I’m planning to be there starting with the Big Tent RV show, through the Dome Rock Rally.

We saw two Oliver Elite II's at Table Rock Lake campground in Missouri. Driving there, we talked about the fact we had only seen one since we bought ours in August of 2023. BTW - If you are around TRL or Branson you have to eat at College of the Ozarks. The food is fantastic and the service was great. Kids work at a number of different things there to pay for tuition, room and board. https://www.keetercenter.edu/Dine/Dining/Menu

I will have my annual ceramic coating inspection and update next week and at that time the technician will strip the ceramic coating in locations to install the flexible window gutters other Oliver owners have installed. Quick questions: *How far (inches) above and beyond & down the sides of the windows do you recommend? *Any installation advice to share with the technician? Thanks.

Sorry we missed you!

Well, I winterized this morning, and then the CO Detector went off 3 times. Most of the RV antifreeze I used was from last year and I opened a new one that was different, bought from same Ace Hardware. I left a window open. Very strange. First 2 times no issues.

I’ll say yes. My trailer is outside 24/7/365 and has been since being purchased in 2017. I have washed/waxed it at least twice a year over the years and gradually the shine had disappeared. When I’d do a thorough job, it would take me four days. No telling how many times I’d move the ladder or how many times I would climb up and down it. One of the last times I washed/waxed it I fell off of the ladder, hit the rear bumper and ladder on the way down to my asphalt driveway. I was lucky enough not to break anything. Since having the trailer coated it is much easier to wash and a quick spritz of the CGI magic elixir and it shines better than new. More important than the shine is the long term protection of the gelcoat. Additionally, as everyone else has said, is the fact that the CGI guys are the finest group of guys that you’ll ever meet.

I throw a greeting out to whoever I saw this morning up in the texas panhandle headed north. I was on my last day of the return trip from alaska back to san antonio. This trip I've seen my first 2 "wild" Ollie's. One out on the Homer spit a couple months ago and the one today. Sorry I didn't get a chance to say hi I think it was hull 747 or 757 I don't recall but we tent camped for a night on the spit just to say we did but the wind was so brutal that night we were hunkered down.

Greetings to the Elite II seen heading eastbound on I-70 near Cisco, UT around 10:45am MT on Sun Sept 22nd. We were westbound, same location in an Elite I…

Hello to the Oliver I spotted on September 9th, heading west on I-90 toward Spearfish SD -- I was heading east. I've been on the road for five months and this was the first Oliver I've seen this year!

Bill, You were the only Oliver we saw until we got to Pagosa Springs, CO…wow! What are the odds? It sure was exciting for us to see you and Twist headed back to NC. So glad we got to catch up while we headed west. How cool is that? 👍🏻😊 David & Kathy

Actually, Patriot saw an Ollie! And, it was me! On Monday (August 26) I was headed east on Interstate 70 (just east of Jefferson City, Missouri) when I got a rather excited call from David and Kathy. They were headed west on Interstate 70 and spotted me going the other way! Unfortunately, at the moment we passed each other I was getting a message on my dashboard that the Ollie had become disconnected. Thankfully this message was only due to a small pebble causing the electrical connection between the truck and Ollie to become unstable. Thanks to both of them for making my day! Bill

Hello to the LE2 with green/yellow livery we saw westbound on I-90 near Utica, NY this afternoon!
