    Leaving Jackson Hole to pick up hull 1491 “Carlotta” on Monday the 18th. Furthest east we’ve ever driven! Never had a truck - never had a trailer (actually had a Coleman pop-up many years ago, but was too busy to use it).

    Doug & Jill

    Congratulations y'all! Safe travels, enjoy!

    The picture was snipped from the Oliver Operations Mgr stating they had just finished loading out the first shipment to a dealership.

    This one:

    From his and your statements, and this video, it is apparent that the trailers likely were wrapped while on the truck bed. 

    That has good and bad considerations.  The good is a pretty picture of our beautiful OTT machine.  One of the bads is pondering how much of a PITA it must have been to wrap these trailers with them on the truck bed hopefully using ladders and fall safety equipment.  

    Maybe a smarter "consideration" would be to have the video show a shot of the the beautifully prepared OE2 being wrapped under cover at the factory.  That's how the vast majority of shrink wrapping is done in the industry... not being done outside in an elevated position obviously working from ladders....

    Or maybe ship them with a nice tight fitting cover instead of shrink wrap.  Even better would be having the cover printed with huge letters "Oliver Travel Trailers.   🙂

    I understand what you mean now, but yes there was photo shoot and video that day. I thought your photo came from seeing it out on the road. It would make sense to wrap after the photo/video. I was also there that day and in the photos. It was quite the occasion and we were all very excited.

    With the tremendous effort that OTT expends in their make ready process, I'm surprised that they don't "Shrink Wrap" their trailers for transport.

    Not sure about that particular one. Was it a private transport? Not sure. But I have seen them leaving our facility wrapped.

    Oliver really does take everything into consideration. I have never seen or heard of anyone at Oliver doing a "half-job" on anything. Ever.

    That's the Oliver Difference.

    Dead Water Pump

    OK.  Our last attempts at troubleshooting: 

    1.  “primed” the pump by using the old “run city water through the system while in boondocking mode” trick (we’ve had to do this before when we had an airlock).  Turned everything back to normal mode: nothing.

    2.  Now we are really at a last resort:  replacing the replacement pump with a brand new one that Mr. Amazon Driver delivered bright and early this morning.  “Bleepity, bleep, bleep, bleep!”

    SO MANY BAD WORDS…..the replacement for the replacement dropped right in and started pumping!  So….the replacement pump we bought as a “spare” at Camping world this spring is apparently faulty.  Glad we discovered that here and not in the middle of nowhere.  Good news:  I ordered 2 new pumps from Amazon yesterday, so we still have a spare.  

    SO FRUSTRATING.  We’ve been spinning our wheels for 24 hours, completely flummoxed and driving ourselves nuts.  Grrrrrrrl

    I know you mentioned posting on the Oliver Facebook and also here in forums, given your urgency due to a month long adventure coming up.

    Give the Oliver service department a ring and see what they can help you with.

    in Oliver Blogs

    Posted

    Are you searching for a more comfortable and enjoyable mode of travel? Look no further than small travel trailers! These compact gems offer an exceptional option for individuals desiring a perfect blend of nature and home-like comfort. Compared to larger campers, they are more budget-friendly and maneuverable, bringing forth many additional perks. Join us in this informative blog post as we delve into the advantages of selecting a small camper for your upcoming vacation.

    1. Easier to tow

    If you’re a newbie to towing, small travel trailers are the perfect choice for a hassle-free experience. Unlike larger trailers, these lightweight and maneuverable gems make towing a breeze. Bid farewell to concerns about handling a hefty load, as they offer a lighter alternative. You can embark on your journey swiftly with effortless hooking up and unhooking. Furthermore, their compact camper size allows for convenient storage during the off-season. Discover the convenience and simplicity of towing with a small travel trailer, making it an excellent option for towing beginners.

    2. Lower cost

    Choose a small travel trailer if you’re seeking an affordable option without compromising comfort. Thanks to their compact size and streamlined amenities, small travel trailers come with a lower price tag than larger alternatives. These lightweight trailers not only make towing a breeze but also simplify storage. While they may have fewer amenities, such as bathrooms and appliances, this contributes to their cost-effectiveness. Perfect for short trips, small travel trailers offer a cozy and enjoyable experience, even for those with a smaller budget.

    3. More fuel efficient

    Discover the fuel-efficient travel option with small travel trailers. With their lighter weight compared to larger counterparts, small trailers require less power to tow. This reduces fuel consumption for your vehicle, allowing you to cover more ground while spending less at the pump.

    Furthermore, small travel trailers often come equipped with efficient and contemporary amenities like LED lighting and modern appliances. These energy-saving features contribute to lower fuel costs, requiring less power. Embrace the economical and fuel-efficient journey with small travel trailers, ensuring environmental friendliness and cost-effectiveness.

    4. More maneuverable

    When it comes to ease of maneuverability, small campers reign supreme. These compact wonders outshine traditional RVs thanks to their lighter weight and smaller size, presenting a convenient option for travel enthusiasts. Driving becomes a breeze as these trailers require less power and space for parking and maneuvering.

    Moreover, they can be effortlessly towed behind an SUV or minivan, making them an excellent choice for those without a truck to handle a larger RV. The convenience doesn’t end there – storage becomes a cinch as these trailers can easily be tucked away in a garage or storage shed when not in use. Experience the joys of RV camping without the hassle of managing a larger vehicle with small travel trailers, providing unmatched convenience and simplicity.

    5. Easier to store

    Small travel trailers have a clear advantage over their larger counterparts when it comes to storing. With their smaller footprint, these trailers easily fit into a regular-sized garage, ensuring hassle-free storage. Their lighter weight not only makes towing a breeze but also simplifies the process of moving them around when needed. Additionally, small travel trailers can be stored in outdoor areas without requiring ample space or the need to construct a shelter. In summary, storing a small travel trailer is significantly more convenient than keeping a larger one.

    6. Less intrusive in campgrounds

    Small travel trailers are an impeccable choice for campers seeking the ultimate balance between comfort and embracing the great outdoors. Unlike their larger RV counterparts, these trailers are less intrusive in campgrounds due to their smaller size, leaving adequate space for a serene camping experience. Furthermore, the ease of maneuverability and storage of small trailers allows campers to effortlessly navigate and explore various campgrounds without the burden of handling a larger RV. Small travel trailers provide the perfect solution for campers who yearn for the comforts of home while immersing themselves in nature’s beauty, delivering a truly memorable camping experience.

    7. Less maintenance

    Enjoy the RV lifestyle without the demanding maintenance tasks by opting for small travel trailers. These compact wonders require significantly less upkeep compared to their larger counterparts. Their limited features and efficient components, like smaller engines, contribute to reduced maintenance needs. Additionally, they are often constructed with lightweight materials such as aluminum, which require less maintenance than heavier materials like steel.

    Furthermore, the streamlined design of small travel trailers means they have fewer features to clean and maintain, saving you time and effort. Suppose you’re seeking the RV experience without the extensive commitment of maintaining a trailer. In that case, small travel trailers are an excellent choice. Embrace hassle-free adventures and relish in the joy of the open road without the burden of excessive maintenance.

    8. More options for towing vehicles

    Experience the freedom of choice with small travel trailers, as they offer a wide range of options for towing vehicles. With a typical weight below 2,000 lbs., small trailers can be easily towed by lighter vehicles like minivans, crossover vehicles, and SUVs. This simplifies the towing process and enhances maneuverability in tight spaces.

    Another advantage of small travel trailers is their lower power requirement for towing. Smaller engines and even some hybrids and electric vehicles can handle the task.
