    Cleaning the Ollie after camping under Pine trees?

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    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.

     

     

    How to block rear compartment light intrusion?

    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.

    Best Generator for ‘18 Elite?

    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.

    Resolving Three Issues with Ollie Window Shades

    in Ollie Modifications

    Posted

    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,

    Land Cruiser 200 Towing thread

    Thanks for the response and advice. I’ll follow up with the Toyota service department and see want they have to say.

    Any updates on your missing hose?

     

    Thanks.

    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.

    Snow in the South

    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!  ☃️☃️☃️☃️

    Quick question for those who have done custom graphics

    in Ollie Modifications

    Posted

    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

    Silly Question about stackable blocks:

    Follow this link to Andersen’s website for information on the attached pictures.

    I really like the Andersen ‘buckets’, but man, those are some expensive chunks of plastic. <b>1st photo</b>

     

     

    Hobo –

     

    See this post – http://olivertraveltrailers.com/topic/levelingsupport-blocks/

     

    And do a search for Andersen leveler.   <b>2nd photo. </b>

     

    Hope this helps.

    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.

    Clogged Window Weep Slots Helpfull Tip

    in Ollie Modifications

    Posted

    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.
