b of b you paint the picture i was looking for....thank you. 10-q dan

thank you for you replies... am planning to take the backroads...boondock mostly.. new mexico will be 1st on the list and head uphill from there through the summer...take a left in sept heading south for the winter... seems like a plan that may work.?

travelers... looking for insight to life in an ollie... are people friendly..?. small towns welcoming...?. are there bugs everywhere..?. do you have to lock your doors..?. too many pets..?....you get the idea. please advise w/ thoughts. 10-q mtkadan

ecovie aqualoop info...please see link: https://www.ecoviewater.com/products/aqualoop/ ive emailed them to see if their system is affordable and rv capable...have not heard back.!? seems promising.... 10-q dan

don I don't know how patient you can be...?...but the new tundra will be out 2021. sounds like hybrid and 30mpg. get one now for 20k...drive it for two yrs...and trade it in. just an idea.?? do well. 10-q dan

retrofitting an ollie would offer unique challanges, but installing a radiant system in a NEW built unit would make sense. id like to see oliver research it for future trailers....hopefully its a positive replacement to the forced air unit of today.! small changes to improve the final product is the goal.

I see so many advantages to a system like this for an ollie...better boondocking and efficient operation. like the idea of its dual purpose and radiant heat is so warm and quiet. think it is something new ollie builds consider.?

saw some info on a radiant heating system for rv's from ALDE a Swedish company….quiet...31lbs...does hot water too. please review at this link: https://www.alde.us/what-is-alde/ advise w/ thoughts? 10-q dan

is there a adaptation to recycle grey water onboard an ollie? with a composting toilet...both the grey and black tank could be used to filter/store water... and make it potable?? please advise w/ thoughts. 10-q mtkadan

don Thompson....good to hear from you.! I spoke w/ you a few yrs ago about your toureg/Ollie combo. stay in touch. 10-q mtkadan

thanks for your replies. was hoping I could just chase 72degrees...all yr long...and may not need one.??

Id like some input. how often do you use your AC while camping?? please advise. 10-q mtkadan

Ollie owners I'm soooo glad this kinda forum is available to prospective owners. you are the "early adaptors" of this product...and your insight has great value.! I don't have another "choice" in mind for my retirement travel trailer...but please suggest the things that will make it...my best choice.! I plan on making it my home...for 10yrs...please work out the bugs. do well.... 10-q dan

Ollie folks this discussion about diesel vs gas...has been my nemesis.! one lasts longer...the other maybe less expensive.? a diesel tow vechicle gets...maybe 12-16mpg...a gas tow vehicle gets 10-14mpg. seems like a wash to me.!! w/ fuel costs. what we all are looking for...is a vehicle...that will tow a 5000lb "aerodynamic lump"...and regularly get 16+ mpg. if not more.!? I'm sorry to say...they don't sell that kinda vehicle..in this country.! just hoping...bye 2022....it wont be an issue.? be well and have fun in your travels... 10-q dan

dear oliver owners my name is dan...I live in Minnetonka mn...and plan on retiring in an oliver...in 5yrs. chasing the sun in my short pantz. I expect to "boondock" as much as possible... and give it a whirl for about 10yrs. have been "snooping" this site for a while now... just wanted to let you all know...I was here.! take care and do well. 10-q dan
