Makes sense. Wish they had a webcam or some set up you could log into and check in. Kind of like at doggie day care ????

Curious..... I thought that I had read a post where someone mentioned that they received picture updates during the building process. Is there a certain point that this occurs? Frequency? Is this something that has to be requested? Our trailer has been in production for 4 weeks (Aug 7) and haven't received any updates yet - neither verbal nor pics.
Thanks,
Angela

Our Ollie is currently in production. We pick it up at the end of October. This is our first RV. We went through years of research of all types and always came back to the Oliver. We can't wait to get it! Congrats on your decision!

lol! This combo came up in our discussions too but for a different reason: Go Thunder!
Billy Donovan or their team colors?
LOL! the team colors. Can't wait to see the blue and orange on the Ollie :)

I heard of people wearing welding helmets for the eclipse. Not sure of the safety/protection against the sun, but an interesting thought...

Look forward to seeing the the finished product!

I really like this! we would love to have it at our home but not sure our HOA would allow it. We're working on finding out. Then we would have to build. We actually have a new storage facility that was built around the corner with a few RV garages so we for now we will be using that. Our other option is moving ???? -Angela

We went with it sideways. Anita advised that it allowed more usable countertop to the left of the stove. Didn't get any measurements tho. In my mind it made sense. Also, it allows the cover to be flipped up to the right to act as a splatter barrier to the seating/bed area. Otherwise it just flips to the back. She also mentioned that they were considering making the sideways position the norm as more peopl order it that way than the current standard way.
As as an aside, Have you made any decisions on fabric/flooring? -Angela

I don’t think the panel is substantial enough to be made into a door or hatch. It would be nice though to have the option of one or the other at the time of the build.
Our trailer is 2 weeks into the build (as of Monday). It seems that it would be very handy to have. How does one go about getting that kind of mod? Just call and ask? or does there have to be a specific need for it? - Angela

I really think the sink access should be much better, this is an area that needs regular attention, cleaning the sink trap epecially.
I just had them replace the tray with an access hatch on ours. We didn’t need the tray and I figured a nice large hatch would be handy.
Wonder if they could just make the tray into a hatch door?????

That’s the insert tray under the sink removed, looking at “B” on the diagram.Ahhhhh! Oriented now. Thanks!

Overland, where is that access port located? -Angela
-
I’ve had the insert under the sink off to do some work. I should have taken some pictures! It’s pretty straightforward, four screws and a utility knife or razor blade. Back on was easy, used some white silicon caulking and it looks like it did when we picked up. Mike
What kind of work? Hearing things like this makes me nervous.
-
Thanks for the heads up. I was told they planned to use pex but not the colored stuff since the exterior isn’t approved. So looks like they’re using the plain translucent stuff. I have an appointment Monday and have a request for the mod. So maybe they’ll have time to do it. I’m on a 3 month trip and threw in a 15 gal water container just in case they weren’t ready. Yea! At Crater Diamonds State Park in Arkansas, arrive at the plant Sunday for an early appointment Monday. Brad Santa Fe NM
Keep us posted on how it goes ..... Angela

Angela, Obviously they will “do” virtually anything directly to the Oliver and the accessories that they sell for the Oliver. I also know that they will “do” wheel bearing maintenance, re-caulking of virtually anything on the camper (think here of re-caulking the air conditioner, bathroom vent, Maxair fan, etc on the roof and windows, etc.) and fiberglass repair of damage done to both the interior and exterior of the Oliver. Bill
Good to know! Thanks, Bill. - Angela

Out of curiosity: Topgun2, Tnbackroads, Rideandfly, when you talk about stopping by and having mods done, what kinds of things do they do? If you don't mind me asking.....
Angela

... I guess I can confirm then that the units I saw the other week coming down the line all had this mod. ....
This makes me so happy to hear!!! -Angela

Looks great. Congrats!!!

We thought that we would order the Seagrass but changed our mind after getting the samples via snail mail. We didn’t like the texture–kinda gummy and thick, as I remember. We ended up ordering Canyon Aspen flooring and are happy with it. We decided to go with a black and grey theme overall: black fiber granite (Dakota) and Tuxedo Grey cushion fabric, along with gray (American spelling) awning and black and gray graphics on the exterior. We are happy with how the Canyon Aspen blended in with this theme. However, I just looked on the Oliver site and did not see Canyon Aspen as a choice. perhaps it has been discontinued.
We thought the same thing about the sample. We also went with the black/grey theme as you did with the graphics/awning/countertop, but we chose our own fabric from Sunbrella.
They have discontinued the Canyon Aspen. We had wanted that. They do have a replacement for it. Not sure what they are calling it. I call it the "new grey floor". Anita sent me the attached pic. She said they didn't have hard samples available yet but we took a leap of faith and went with it. Can't wait to see the final result (October). -Angela

Welcome! My husband and I are just waiting on our trailer. Should be done late October - a bit late for an Alaska trip this year, but definitely someplace that we want to visit!

Hi all! We are from Kansas and our start date is the end of August. We were not offered any other AC unit but the standard Dometic Penguin 2. None was listed as an option or upgrade. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks
The Atwood wasn't offered to us, we asked about it. My husband had done some research on RV A/Cs and I had done some browsing on the Forum. We asked about it and they said they could do it. There was an upcharge. Part of it was ordering as a one off part instead of being able to get a bulk price as they do with the Dometics and also, I recently learned, for the modification for drainage. The Atwood does not come with a drainage tube/pipe (I guess they don't need them in Australia) and so they are having to create a drain channel as there is with the Dometic so that the water doesn't drain on the outside of the trailer. I was ecstatic to hear about that! My husband was also wanting to have a different controller for the solar installed, but the build date was getting close and we decided that we would just go with the Zamp and change it out ourselves.

Thanks for the info, Canoe12. On the upside, makes me feel better that we aren't the only ones not to have updates. On the downside, it would definitely add to the total experience package to get updates.
