We had Dometic C-5 windows on our previous camper. Never had leak issues and can be opened while raining without water getting into camper. Would also be interested in replacing existing Kinro windows with Dometic, if sizes available for older Ollie Campers.

Those are some awesome windows. I would be paranoid about scratching them though while cleaning, especially with all the dust and grit that gets on them traveling gravel roads. One thing I would like to add to the list of improvements that would hardly cost Oliver anything is improving their fresh water tank outlet design. As I posted earlier, it is a bit of a disappointment to have to tip up the front end of the trailer to get at the last 10 gallons of water in the tank. I have been slowly moving towards a solution for this but access down there is very tight. Hoping to have a plumber friend of mine look at it to see if inserting a small suction tube into the tank is doable. This would be much easier to do with the tank out of the trailer at the factory and would be a big help for us boondockers who need full access to our water supply. Other than this, we just love this trailer! Dave

Portable induction stove . . . don't leave home without it!

Cleaned Dometic windows with Microfiber cloth and Plexus plastic cleaner. Also use Plexus cleaner on aircraft windows and motorcycle windscreens. Easy to scratch if care is not taken while cleaning. http://www.plexusplasticcleaner.com/about.html

Thanks, That' Coy's Ollie. He decided on using a compass rose decal during construction. Purchased our Ollie used, so not familiar with the process. There's other folks here that had custom decals installed, too.

There were six Ollies with 32 or more various Egg Campers at the gathering. It was great meeting all of the fine folks attending! Rained some Friday, but was a nice Saturday during the "trailer" open house. We probably showed our Ollie to 30 folks or more on Saturday: Mountain drive home:

A window in the galley area could enhance visibility and awareness of the outside environment and increase natural light inside. A few years back, Escape started to offer this option and it has been well received in their community. The fridge may be a bit smaller than some, but thankfully, I find hunting for food in grocery stores an easy task. (then again, I travel alone, so it makes a difference) Figuring out how to elevate it a bit would surely be a nice touch. We must remember as we dream about changes, that there are costs involved to both the manufacturer and the customers. The fiberglass molds are very expensive items to "tinker" with and any major change in a mold would involve a capital investment by Oliver. So it is important to be patient and understanding. Some other things are easy to do, but expensive to accomplish. For instance, all of the fiberglass is white in color. The exceptions have been two unique Elite models produced "in the early times" - one bright red and the other pure black. I understand the hoses and nozzles used for some of the spraying involved are super expensive to buy and the process of cleaning them perfectly to produce another color return to the normal white is very labor intensive, incurring significant labor costs. And we must also be aware of the disruption on the production lines. Anytime a new process is interjected it will involve technical training and expertise and if incorporated, retraining of other technicians . . . to say nothing about the extra time involved as they figure out how to do it correctly and efficiently. I'm looking forward to the vertical takeoff, hovercraft mod that will enable me to get to campsites only backpackers can find. Do you think I am expecting too much?
