Lake Wenachee State Park looks like a beautiful campground & one we will add to our list. Thank you for sharing!

Wow, John, that is a gorgeous location! And this is the first time I've seen a picture of your dogs. Doodles!

John, did you use these to connect to the harnesses? They are adjustable & limit the amount of space they can move around. [attachment file=Screenshot_20180625-221906_Amazon Shopping.jpg]

Maddie and Baxter insisted I point out that GM trucks don't have A/C vents in the backseat. (At least 2017s didn't.) A deal breaker for our fluffy buddies. ;)

Beautiful! A dream trailer for sure. This cutaway graphic showing the skulling boat inside the trailer has me wondering if you could rig two tension rods (if you can get them long enough) between the floor & ceiling to use as a brace for bicycles.

@Rodger & all you adventurous AARP members, you are awesome! Great advice from all of you; here are my 2 cents to help you convince Rodger to get moving! Duke & I got married in 1995. At that time our retirement dreams were pretty far apart, & far down the road, but the common denominator was we knew we wanted to travel. (He wanted to convert an old school bus & have a tree farm in Georgia. I didn’t.) Anyway, fast forward, we are now getting all our ducks in a row to make that leap to retirement &, at the end of the year, start long term traveling in our Ollie However, to get to where we are today, the best & scariest picture painted for me was this: Get out your tape measure & extend it to 80 inches. Go head, do it. Now, point to your age in inches. That looooong distance between the beginning of the tape and your age is the life you have already lived. Now look at the distance between your age & 80 inches. THAT is approximately the life you have left to live, maybe. Duke is 68 & I am 60 & it scares the hell out of me that we MIGHT have twelve years to enjoy our retirement together. Most of our parents were depression babies. They worked hard, lived frugally, saved their money, lost their health, and then died. They did not get to enjoy the retirement they worked so hard for. I refuse to let that happen to us.

Duke took a photo of the bow mounted bike rack. It was an entry in the modification contest at the Rally. I'm sorry I don't have more information. Again, hopefully, someone who does will give us the details.

DavidS, that's good stuff & explained very well! Thank you!

Someone at the Rally had built one for the front of their trailer that was very nice. I'm sorry I don't remember who but hopefully someone will chime in who does. Bill? Jason? Foy?

I, for one, sure want to hear & learn all about yours & anyone else's trip to the 49th state! Last year, after Duke & I made the decision to buy an Oliver, I started reading and watching videos (thank you Reed & Karen) to learn about the RV life. One YouTube subscription I look forward to is KYD - Keep Your Daydream. The reason I mention it here is they are currently traveling to Alaska and will begin posting videos about their trip this Sunday. (6-17-18) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEhJLsShZt8McryMf_DHLZQ/featured These are exceptionally well done videos - beautiful scenery, almost professional quality editing, fun-loving & funny family &, most importantly, informative. Even Duke enjoys watching them. Their past seasons have been about the Eastern US, Mexico, NW US & Canada, & SW US. Scattered in-between are videos about their rig, storage, how to get along with your spouse, boondocking fail, mods to their tow vehicle, & so on. http://www.keepyourdaydream.com/ Enjoy! Chris

Beautiful bedding! Have fun & please share pix of your destinations.

Has anyone had trouble with your pleats not folding properly when opening the privacy section? While in storage, I've left them open hoping that the heat will help them "remember" what they're supposed to do. I'll find out tomorrow if it worked.

You funny guys!

LOL! Once upon a time my car battery was dead & I panicked for a second or two (okay, maybe ten) because my keyless entry didn't work.

Showing off my new cutting board. It's stunning & if it were a little bit bigger, I could use it at home too! Thank you Foy. Your craftsmanship is exceptional!

Found it. http://olivertraveltrailers.com/topic/the-easy-mods-drill-a-hole/page/2/

Mike and Krunch recently posted his fix for the drawer problem, but I'm unable to find it. What I like about their system is it uses suction cups and spring-loaded curtain rods and does not require drilling into the fiberglass.

We found the clip on the carefree site. It's only $6 plus shipping. That appears to be the best route since it is riveted & removing it wouldn't be practical. Your arms would be best for someone who needs the entire thing - and I am sure there is an Ollie owner out there who will need them. (Hopefully, it won't be us!) Thank you for your foresight & kindness. You are what makes this community so special. Chris

Performed by ... Oliver ;)

Oh my goodness, this is amazing! Duke & I were just discussing the need to replace the orange plastic clip on one of the braces & I popped onto the Oliver site to see if I could find out the awning specs. Is it possible you have what we need? Fingers crossed. Thank you no matter the outcome! Chris

Oh my word, that is adorable!

All, Foy posted the following on the Oliver Owners Facebook page: "Oliver Owner’s in GA and FL. We would like to propose a Micro-Rally in October at Hanna Park on the beach in Jacksonville,FL. Comment if interested!" https://www.facebook.com/groups/OllieOwners/ Please reply if you are interested. Dates haven't been selected yet. As the post is updated, I'll do my best to relay information to the forum.

Arrgh! So here we are, one year later, and the black streaking is still an issue on brand new $65k+/- campers. Capt Tolley's has been ordered but annoyed I have to fix this. Rant over.

I actually stumbled upon it at Big Lots, but I'm sure Amazon has it. The brand is "American Kennel Club." There are a couple design flaws that can be remedied with zip ties and a couple towels strategically placed to stop the rattling. It worked magnificently with my two clowns

The best BOGO ever! Thank you Skippy, er, Bill for orchestrating one of the most memorable adventures ever. [attachment file=Zip Line Soaking Wet.JPG]
