My wife and I finally are getting ready to hit the road again in a few weeks and every RV park we've tried for reservations is booked. How do you guys find locations and why are we having such a frustrating time with this? We want a full hook up site and any tips or tricks are welcome!

What an EXCELLENT idea Dave! I will do this next time I'm at a full hook up site.

Thanks guys... With my bad back I could not even dream of moving 250lbs of water even 10 feet. Thanks for saving me some money!

Thanks guys for the input. I'm looking at a 35 gallon tote just not sold on how durable the wheels are.

Recently got back from 1100 mile trip and pulling my Oliver with a 2006 F250 6.0 PSD with fresh water tank full and averaged 13.6mpg. Most of the towing was in TN and AL.

I'm interested in hearing if anyone has used an external tank for hauling off black/grey water waste? I like going to state parks but they seem to only have dumping stations and of course the grey water comes up in the shower pan at night...lol Any input on this would be great!

My wife and I would like to thank the Oliver family and their awesome staff for putting on such a wonderful, informative rally. We learned so much and have just begun to scratch the surface about our Oliver trailer!

Thank you for the info John. Tomorrow night I'll be doing my first boondocking adventure. If temperatures get cold and I need some heat do I simply place the thermostat on furnace and fan set to auto?

Bill, thank you for taking the time to teach me a few things about the inverter. I just did not want to make a huge mistake and blow something up. 1500 watt max is a point well taken. I have so much to learn about power management and the other systems as well. george

Thanks folks for the kind words. Looking forward to pushing out tomorrow and taking the back roads and overnighting somewhere along our route. On our drive home it sure was cool pulling into a rest area and my wife making a sandwich and listening to some music.

Never owning a RV I'm needing to better understand the do's and don'ts of using solar. Can I run everything except the a/c and microwave? I understand the refrigerator has a heavy drawl on the batteries so best mode is probably auto? When should I turn on the power inverter and what are it's limitations? Thank you

It was a pleasure meeting you guys as well and look forward to meeting up again in the future when we have a little more time!

We did miss all the rain Overland. The wind on our drive home was a little high but we just slowed down on the interstates.

My wife and I took delivery of our new Oliver. Pick up went very smoothly and Jason did a great job going over all the features and answering questions we had. We are looking forward to many great adventures and can't wait to meet other Oliver owners and learn as much as possible during the upcoming rally.

That is sure an awesome image. Thanks for sharing!

My wife and I really enjoy cycling. We have this bike rack set up in our pick up truck. The bikes fit snugly without needing to remove any wheels.

She sure is a nice treasure. I hope you have many great times taking your Oliver across this wonderful country!

Thank ya'll for the links and info. I'll need to research these... Have a great day!

just wondering what some of you folks use to lock up your Oliver with so nobody can simply hook up and drive off? Thank you

I'm getting nervous about picking up my Oliver this month with all these drawer issues!

No, there was nothing unusual, normal speed bumps and dips, nothing unusual that we don’t drive over everyday. Yea, twisting over a speed bump is a posibility but this trailer hasn’t seen any off road time yet. Frame flex is normal no matter what we drive, but without being inside the trailer to see what happens over speed bumps or pot holes, all we can do is speculate. I’m going to be taking this trailer over some dirt roads in the future, but here in California, the dirt roads are usually smoother than the poc marked pavement If you have a small video camera like a gopro I would film the inside of the trailer while going down the road.

Wow, thank you all for the great responses. I better pick up a water pressure regulator and turn off water when leaving Ollie for the day.

Greetings folks, Never owned a travel trailer and have a simple question to ask. When you leave your Oliver at a camp sight is it recommended to shut off the water spigot while gone? Thanks

I'm thinking about getting this gas can https://www.4wd.com/Jeep-Exterior-Parts-Accessories/Wavian-Steel-Gas-Can-with-Spout-JC0020RVS.aspx?t_c=3&t_s=188&t_pt=11104&t_pn=WAVJC0020RVS&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=shopping&emlprox=out&ppcfon=1&gp=1&scid=scplpWAVJC0020RVS&sc_intid=WAVJC0020RVS&gclid=CM3ygpbxttICFUgehgodrXMDKg#ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_pDetail_productSpecs

I got my tpms installed on my pick up truck and thus far very satisfied with it. In a few weeks I hope to be taking delivery of my Oliver.
