  1. Robin at Bannana Banners did our front graphic. I gave her an idea of what I wanted and the side stripe colors on the Oliver. She e-mailed the image to me for approval. I stopped by to pick it up, as she is only a few miles away. It was in a mailing tube, and she would have mailed it. (She has since done a couple of family business trucks). We installed it at a campground after picking up the Oliver. It took longer to clean the front with denatured alchol than it did to install. I was impressed how easy it was to install, and to do business with Robin.

  2. Here is their vehicle, the first link worked for me.... https://www.bimobil.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/EX_358-engl.-datasheet.pdf It is real shame that we can’t get vehicles like that here. John Davies Spokane WA

  3. Try their personal website, d-hai.ch. A Swiss-german couple travelling north America. We've seen a number of these types of sturdy rig, usually in Canada or Alaska. Usually German built, sometimes personally owned, often leased and shipped across the ocean for the adventure of a lifetime. Pretty cool.

  4. Where the law allows, I usually set the cruise control at 75. Truck and trailer seem pretty happy at that speed. West of me the speed limit on I-10 is 80 but I usually stay at 75 as a max cruise speed. I'm always impressed how cool the tires and hubs stay even at those speeds on a hot day. Fuel mileage gets better at higher altitudes. I've noticed the same thing on my motorcycle trips. (someone smarter than me will need to explain why) When we brought the trailer home form Tenn. we averaged 16-ish which was all lower altitude drivng. We encountered a couple of 10 - 12% grades off the interstate. The truck will settle into about a 40 mph-ish climb with the engine below 3K rpm so it's pretty drama free. You're just not going very fast. I think my expereince with the ecodiesel could be applied to any of the small diesels available now in the half-ton group. The RAM was first in the class with a diesel so that's what I purchased. But there is always a trade off. Would a 3/4 ton as a TV be better? Absolutely. However, this truck is my everyday driver so I find it a good compromise.

  5. As Mattnan said, we used Banana Banners for The Swallow. We were also referred by Mainiac. Robin took a design drawn by our daughter and turned it into a front graphic and side graphics. Not sure how to add a picture here but you can see ours on the FB page if interested.

  6. http://www.ahpeel.com/ Hi we will be using Bananna Banners after we pick up our new Ollie #537 "Beacon" October 22. We were referred to them by Maniac. I know they are doing at least 2 additional trailers. I believe they also provided graphic via mail to new Ollie owner "Swallow". Good luck
