Bosker and I are loaded and ready to head for Inks Lake State Park and the 2024 Texas Oliver Rally. See ya’ll there!

Welcome to the family, Joey! Get ready for many wonderful adventures ahead.

How sad, seeing your Ollie 'laying down'. It's like a family member being wounded. Glad no human or pet was injured. Thanks for posting this for all to learn from.

finally leaving Texas

I don't study, or "worry" in advance of who the attendees are. I just relax and meet folks organically and let serendipity happen

The Wonder Egg was born with a 'spring over axle' configuration and sits higher than the average Ollie. I always travel with full tanks, for convenience and most importantly, to lower the center of gravity and provide extra stability in high wind conditions and cornering.

Everything's BIGGER in Texas!

Nicely thought out project and installation. Well done. Enjoy your air fryer creations!

Nice. Placing the vents at the upper portion of the space makes sense, after all, hot air rises. Did you consider a switch activated 12 volt miniature fan to increase cooling when using the air fryer?

Come one, one of those prize racks would surely garner a lot of attention going down the highway on the brow of your Ollie. You can do IT!

I alwaze thouhgt a diatribe wuz a bunch of folk gittin together as a big group, figurin new recipees for wate loss.

Here are pictures of the two air vents in my 2008 Elite. You can see one is located on the wall as you exit the trailer, and the other is in the galley area, on the wall to the left of the sink. They provide passive venting from the rear of the space containing the oven. Not sure of a source for the vents, but you get the idea and should be able to find something similar. If you are particularly handy and inspired, consider a tiny switch activated fan mounted behind one of the vents which could turn it from a passive to an active heat protection. Good luck! Be sure to post pictures of your finished project.

Ron, Thanks for the post. It is a good reminder for all of us (especially single axle Elite owners) to use a TPMS system to monitor the pressure of our tires. Question: Did you have a metal valve stem? The centrifugal forces exerted on the valve stems by the mass of the monitor can result in over stressing a rubber valve stem, so metal stems are preferred with TPMS. So glad your system alerted you to the loss of pressure in time for you to safely get off the road. Pete

Bosker and I will have The Wonder Egg, (Elite Hull #14), on Site 90, from Oct 20-24. We look forward to meeting more Oliver owners! Donna & Scott, thanks for organizing this.
