The Rally campsite list has been deleted do to security concerns.

I seem to remember the Lukens charging their batteries with their tow vehicle when they were in a bind. I think they said they wouldn’t bother with a generator any more. But then again, my hard drive might be full and I’m just making stuff up.

The 2019 OTT Rally campsite site list has been deleted due to security concerns.

JD, Did you mention that Power Wagon again? I saw this one at the Florida State Fair recently and thought you would appreciate it.

If you order the plastic razor blades, be sure to get the double edged ones. They hold up much better than the chisel edged ones. I took one for the team and bought a 100 pack of the chisel edged ones. I’ll sell the 98 I have left cheap and throw in a bridge to boot?. On the alcohol subject, I have had trouble with 3M tape products sticking to the Ollie. As usual for me, I sometimes read the directions after I have experienced trouble. The directions for a tape product I was using recently suggested the enclosed alcohol prep pad or use a 50/50 mix of alcohol and water. So far so good.

I use GOOF OFF, Pro Strength. It’s available at Home Depot and lots of other places. If the tree sap has crystallized, I soften it with the GOOF OFF and remove the bulk of the sap with a plastic razor blade and finish the removal with more GOOF OFF. Good luck!

You might want to check out Coy’s post about after market beds from Southern Mattress. We also purchased two twin mattress from Southern Mattress for our twin bed conversion based upon his experience. They shipped them to Hohenwald for us at a reasonable rate. We are very happy with our SM mattresses. http://olivertraveltrailers.com/topic/custom-made-mattresses/#post-41614

See if these pictures help.

Piggy backing on Steve’s assumption of the translucent doors you could try some cling type window film. Or go really low tech and tape an old shoe box lid over the breaker panel. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0725G9KS2/ref=sxts_kp_bs_1?pf_rd_p=8778bc68-27e7-403f-8460-de48b6e788fb&pd_rd_wg=xgUW9&pf_rd_r=JXDABXDFKB5RZJZJNHB5&pd_rd_i=B0725G9KS2&pd_rd_w=QW0ZZ&pd_rd_r=23a27c43-3f73-4b38-84c8-1ea78f084cf5&ie=UTF8&qid=1546363365&sr=1 Have fun, Mike

Yes they do fit nicely. The crates themselves are pretty light weight but you can load them pretty heavy as they are very sturdy. I use a boat hook attached to a piece of pvc pipe to pull them out. Good luck, Mike

Check your Oliver supplied equipment. The provided a neutral bonding plug with my 2017 Elite II. It looks like the attachment. Mike

You may have 2 15 amp outlets on the genset depending on the which model you bought. If I remember correctly from your previous posts, you did not get the companion. The bonding plug goes in 1 of the 15 amp outlets and the 15 to 30 amp cord/adapter goes in the other. Mike

I can’t answer the charging question, but check out GenTent for weather protection while running the gen set. http://www.gentent.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=GT10KXKITB Mike

Spike, thanks again for your practical solution to the falling window shade problem. Our daytime shade recently started falling down on the curb side window. I took the shade down and I was just about ready to start taking it apart to see what I could do to fix it and bingo, I thought of your post and the use of the plastic wall anchors. I must admit that I hate those things, but I never throw them away. So I found 4 of them and installed them per your instructions and problem solved. Thanks again and Merry Christmas, Mike

Sorry I missed your response. Not sure how I missed the notification if there was one. But I noticed your LC 200 thread in recent topics and looked to see your latest posting. That’s when I noticed I had missed your update request. Anyway, to answer your question about the hose, it was tucked up under the engine cover. No one at the dealership could explain why, but the hose is back in place and all is good. While looking through the posting I saw the Tekonsha P3 installation pictures. I had tried to find a mounting place for the P3 and never found a suitable location I was happy with. So I sent it back and bought the Redarc controller and included a picture off the install. After a year of service I can say I am very please with the product. Mike

Wow! It would be nice for Christmas, but it’s a little early. It’s a good thing your snowblower is tuned up and ready to blow. That same cold front is blowing through Florida at this time with heavy rain and tornado watches in effect. Good Luck! ☃️☃️☃️☃️

Your camping location is very close to Tualatin River National Wildlife Refuge. A friend of ours is on a 3 month camp/work assignment there. Enjoy your Oliver.

Bill, Just saw the weather forecast for the Carolinas. You better ask Santa for a snow shovel.☃️☃️☃️☃️☃️☃️ Good luck,

They sure do. If you have to buy some, Amazon has a 3 pack of the long ones that fit great.

My vinyl was produced by Oliver from art work I provided. I found the silhouette on the dog on the internet and the artist was in England. I purchased a print and he granted me permission to reuse a digital copy he provided. I put the text in and Oliver produced it in the color brown on my trailer with some of the text in black. The charge was $160 and was completed while the trailer was in for the fresh water tank modification after the rally this year. When it was applied, it was in 2 steps. First the silhouette and then the black text. I seem to remember that Oliver cannot do 3 colors because it is not printed. But my graphics are actually 3 colors, brown, black and the white of the trailer. If you are going to use your snowball it might be possible to due the same The challenge will be the blue if it is vinyl. Good Luck

Follow this link to Andersen’s website for information on the attached pictures. https://andersenhitches.com/Catalog/accessories.aspx The were a couple of Ollie owners at Lake Guntersville this year that really liked the Jack Blocks. I recently picked up 3 of the EZ Blocks <b>3rd picture </b>because like Overland, I thought the Jack Blocks were a little expensive. So far the EZ Blocks have worked well when placed on a 2” x 12”. And they can be stacked 2 high just like Jack Blocks if needed.

Good choice. Retirement and Alaska are getting closer everyday???

I would almost agree. Any debris would slow the flow, but the pipe cleaners start flowing water as soon as they get wet. So far the have prevented the water from topping the inside wall of the middle track and filling up the screen track. That is where my water leak entered the cabin over the curb side bed. This does not mean that window track maintenance can be ignored. The are just less likely to leak if they have a chance totally dry out between rain events.

They sure look flexible and now all you have to do is wait until May to use them. We’ll see you at the rally.
