This thread has been split from Bill and Nancy's Furnace is cycling on and off every 2 minutes.
There WILL be some apparent discontinuity issues as a result

This thread needs to be split in two because the original problem/post introduced by Bill and Nancy diverged with the post by Doug Grove on the 28th. B&N is working on what is likely to be an electrical problem between the furnace and thermostat where as DG has introduced an issue that is appears more similar to a typical short cycle condition. There has been quite a bit of valuable information provided by relevant replies to both issues but it seems some really valuable information is getting. lost due to the confusion.

And I most wholeheartedly agree with both of you. I get really tired of seeing folks hijack someone else's thread with a similar (but actually unrelated) problem of their own and then everyone gets confused and nobody gets any help. I've reread the entire thread and as BHNCB stated there's TWO different issues here and they're not interrelated. We could close this entire thread and everyone can start their own, but that's not fair to Bill and Nancy.
I have renamed the thread:
"Bill and Nancy's Furnace is cycling on and off every 2 minutes"
- and hence forth anything posted here should pertain only to the problems that Bill and Nancy are having. Additionally I am going to attempt to move non-pertinent posts to another thread. This will likely result in some apparent discontinuity in both threads.
- Please folks, in the future, start another thread that addresses your problem rather than tagging it into an existing one.

I'm probably mis-remembering, as I tried reading just about every post on this forum back in June when I joined. Wasn't the black trailer converted (poorly) to a truck camper for a while, and then sold and put back on its frame? I tried looking for photos, but was unsuccessful.
It was not the black trailer, but I agree it was cobbled together and butt ugly.

How do I see the ad for the Oliver elite That is listed here?
Thanks
Just click on the link posted. If your title "Not on Facebook" indicates that you are not a member of FB, then I suppose you'll have to join.

I have a Sony Betamax machine for sale. I’ll even throw in the optional stack loader.

Just drove by our local Quik Trip, diesel at $3.99. First time below $4 in a loooooong time.
Could your fill a couple of 55 gallon drums of that diesel and bring it over to my house? It's still about $4.50 here.

Early in our traveling days in our 2008 Oliver Elite, we realized that shoe storage was a problem. Either we were tripping on the ones that seemed to always litter the tiny floor space or digging through the bottom of the closet in search of two that matched.
Tali likes to have her hiking boots, sandals, wet shoes for showering, and her ubiquitous flip-flops. I don't wear sandals, never use any shower other than our own, and literally haven't worn a pair of flip-flops since I first tried them some time around 1956.
I've worn the same boot for a couple of decades or more. It's the only pair of shoes I own. They are Original Swat's in desert tan. I buy them 2-3 pairs at a time at a local Army Surplus store for about $75 per pair. They will last about a year and are the most comfortable shoe I've ever worn. By the time I move on to a new pair they are looking pretty ratty.
So, my shoe storage solution is simple, on all our trips I take only one pair of shoes. I never intentionally go bare foot so I'm either wearing them or they're "stored" on the floor at the foot of my bed waiting on me to get up and put them back on. Problem solved, for me at least. Tali doesn't necessarily see the simplicity in my plan.

Another Forum member has one of those F-350's but I believe that his is diesel and a Tremor versus the King Ranch. Certainly more than enough truck to get the job done.

Now Bill, you know that one can NOT have too muck truck.

If you go to Amazon just punch Whitmor Hanging Shoe Shelves 8 section in the search. Here’s a photo of it....Snip...

Thanks for posting Mike,
Great info.
We plan to let our AGMs run the course and maybe consider Lithium batteries someday.
David
That’s what we did, David. Our original AGM’s lasted from 2013 until 2020. We installed three BB 100 amp hour batteries.

Seeing diesel locally $4.65 to $4.70 in our area of NC
What’s gas prices in your area of Texas?
Diesel is still around $4.50, gas is under $3.00. In Tupelo.

That makes total sense. The only reason I had interest in leaving the door open was to share warmer main cabin heat to that semi vulnerable spot while traveling during the winter. I may have already solved that problem by adding a return vent through from bathroom to area under the dinette seat.
I believe you are exactly correct. That's probably the reasoning behind others leaving the door open also.

Key points. 1, make sure you test everything out. Stay nearby, ideally at the OTT campground. 2, if something isn't quite right, let them know so it's fixed before leaving Hohenwald. 3, this company makes a good product and does everything they can to be transparent and will work with you to fix a problem. At this point I am still happy that I chose Oliver over some other brand.
John
I'll bet this has been stated thousands of times through the years. Yet still, there are folks that pick up and leave the same day. When they have a problem down the road a bit they want to get on here and complain. This is GREAT advice and and should be heeded by all. There's really no good excuse not to stick around a few days and check everything out, just build the extra time into your pickup experience. I promise you won't regret it.
John, it's really good to hear you've been taken care of by Oliver and I believe you will never be disappointed "...that I chose Oliver over some other brand."

Its never happened to us, but thru the years, I've read several accounts of the bathroom door being shattered when left open while traveling. I always travel with ours closed and latched.

Working on a little accessory project for the Ollie and I’ve been looking for a good high quality DC cigarette lighter plug. Plenty on Amazon, all made in China, and sometimes the translations are comical. This one offers “Powerful Shrapnel” as a feature! 😂
Don't overlook that "real" copper spring. None of that fake copper like they have in poorer parts of the world.

Happy Thanksgiving Oliver family!
We enjoyed incredible venison tenderloin last evening with a little char, as we gotta have a light crunch 😋. Today another feast of deep fried Turkey and sides at our friends farm. We said we would bring desert. So my amazing bride baked up a cast iron skillet apple pie and a blueberry crisp! Who needs dinner? 😂
Wow, just wow!

…Unfortunately, they did not bother to amend the previous owners manual…I copied and pasted a snip from the manual ( page 87)….
This is a great point. Please go thru the manuals and note all the places this incorrect info shows up. Copy all the HTML links to those errors and send them to Matt at Oliver. He will take care of getting the manuals updated. If you need help getting your collected data to Matt, let me know and I will send it for you. Good idea, thanks.

Hi everyone-new to the boards and not sure I'm on the right board, but I'll ask anyway.
We are looking at buying an Oliver Elite II and my question is this:
Of the 23.6 length, how much of that is taken up by the hitch and propane tanks?
I hope that makes sense and thanks so much in advance.

Thanks to the Admins for the reorganization and cleanup of the Classifieds section of the Forum. Much improved!
You are welcome, Frank. As you can see about 98% of the classified ads were no longer valid, mainly due to their owners neglect, and have been removed. The new rules address that issue and will make that forum better for everybody.
New Advertisement Rules
Oliver Travel Trailers has granted each owner the privilege of posting a FREE advertisement on this forum in the event they find themselves with a need to sell their trailer. Few other fiberglass trailer manufacturers offers this level of service and dedication to their owners. As well as being free, it's the first place many people will look to see if they can locate the Oliver trailer they desire. If a potential buyer is viewing these ads, an Oliver is what they're looking for.
Classified advertisements for trailer sales may remain posted for a maximum of 4 weeks. After 4 weeks the ad will be taken down but the seller is welcome to re-list one time which will reset the time clock.
If, after two postings, the trailer has not been sold we suggest reassessing your advertisement and make adjustments that will make your trailer more desirable to potential buyers.
Sellers are required to tend their advertisements. This means checking it at least once a day to see if there are any new inquiries. If there are, seller should address these in an immediate post on the forum. If the seller wishes to communicate directly with the potential buyer, that's OK as long as the information is also posted on the forum to allow everybody to know the status of the proceedings.
When the trailer has sold the seller is required to post that information as the ending entry in their ad and notify the moderators that the trailer has sold. The seller is also required to notify Oliver Travel Trailers by filling out the form found here.

I am not sure how I feel about this, they did politely blur my house street number, license plate and face, but the actual app shows my physical address…. and much of the contents of my RV bay.
Should I request that they blur out the Ollie and the inside of the bay? Am I being paranoid? Comments? Thanks.

Good info, thanks Topgun2.
Size reference: We have a short bed Ram 1500 and the 11.5 X 11.5 fits easily in the bed of the truck.
I’m not familiar with the specs on your short bed Ram 1500. We have that same size Clam and it would not fit in our 5-1/2 foot short bed 2014 GMC Sierra unless it was loaded diagonally. The standard length of our 2017 Silverado 2500 and the 2022 Silverado 3500 bed is 6-1/2 feet and the Clam fits fine placed lengthwise.

Black Oliver

I do agree that the current owner has done a magnificent job of reconstruction. I wonder who moved the body back onto the frame. I am well acquainted with that procedure.
