No to the round power cord door. We've got the rectangular white plastic one that's working fine for now. We hope to get there about the 21st and stay till the lake has been fished out . . . then it's on the the Little Plastic Trailers on Route 66 which starts on the 18th in Chicago. (this is not a thread hijack . . . this is not a thread hijack)

Hey Aubrey! Oscar wants to know when Woodstock & Rascal will be getting to the Jugfest. He's "egging" me on to get there early & stay late . . . not a bad idea. He also has something for your new TV.

n ca diane, Congratulations on your recent Oliver Elite purchase! Welcome to "Ollie World" Enjoy the forums and happy traveling!!!!!!!!!!!

Oscar says he wants to see moose in their natural habitat. I guess I'll have to humor him . . .

Yes indeedy, them thar "horsey shoes" were in FACT seats from the throne . . . this was, after all, an official "Hill-a-Palooza" with a kinda hillbilly twist. With their shape being kinda similar to them itty-bitty ones some city folk use, the Underwoods thought we'd hurl them at the posts instead. After the first couple of tosses it was determined they needed some beefin' up cuz they were sorta breakin' apart so Phil grabbed some of that thar ducky tape stuff and wrapped 'em real good like and the games continued. "Ducky tape . . . don't leave home without it!" Here's our blog entry for the Hill-a-Palooza . . . http://peteandthewonderegg.blogspot.com/2010/03/hill-palooza-2010.html

That's jam49 pulling out in "Revilo" which is hull #44, one of the last ones made. It was great to have jam49 stop by the rally. In front of the truck, look beyond and you'll see another Texas Oliver, from Spring Texas. All together, there were three Ollies at the rally . . . ya'll come next year!

Rich, welcome to the Oliver Forum!

Well, I didn't take any in the actual showroom area, but I managed to get a few of our egg camping outside the humongous show . . . http://peteandthewonderegg.blogspot.com ... -show.html

Wolcome to the Oliver forum drpsycho1 ! ENJOY . . .

Oscar & I had a great time in the "Egg Meadow" with you both and our new friends, Jake & Judy, from Washington state in thier Casita. We'll keep you posted when & where we're going Kayaking . . .

Welcome to the Oliver Forum teardrop!

There are two at Ft Se Soto Park through tonight. Tomorrow, we head for Myakka State Park for 2 nights. There will be 2 at the Tampa Forlida Fairgounds for the big RV show this Wednsday night. Come on out!

4/27 till whenever works great for Oscar & I . . . then we could go to the Bluebonnet Casita Rally which ends on the 4/25. Regardless of the dates, though, count us in the whole time. CATFISH here we come!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If it started on the 27th, folks could attend the Bluebonnet Casita Rally and then scoot up to lake Greeson. Given that the full moon is the 28th of April, how far either side is good for catching catfish?

Gig Em Eggies?

I wouldn't be so quick, Tom . . . the more I watch you two guys around the campsite, the more similarities I am seeing . . . You both like the same corny jokes, you both have this burning desire to grow a beard, you both are married to fantastic women, you both feel right at home in your fiberglass egg, neither of you prefers spicy food, you both really enjoyed wearing tie-dye, you both like long walks on the beach, etc, etc, etc So don't be too sure

Someplace has to be Florida forever, 'cause this place I'm at right now sure doesn't feel like it! Even though the GPS and the sign at the park entrance said this was Manatee State Park, the ranger said it would be 15 degrees tonight!#$!?*!!! What's up with that? Wish you Technomadias were down here already. After the hippie wedding on the beach, we started an EggRoll Rally . . . Oscar & I followed Mr & Mrs Tumbleweed & Earthdancer's Ollie down the road to this fine park as we head down to Ft Desoto State Park on an Island south of St Petersburg, FL where we'll meet up with Meanderthal & She Boss. They were also at the hippie wedding. Seadawg & her first mate will be joining us for a bit as well. Woohooo! We're going to try and see some manatees in the river tomorrow. If we don't see any, Tumbleweed said he'd try and go ice skating for us!

Golleee Geeee Willikers Batman! Shoulda we had them boys at Hohenwald wrap the entire inner egg in tin foil to protekt us frum that there EMP thingie? I Think I'll dust off my tin foil hat befur Oscar & I head fer the hippie weddin'

More Egg-Nog & Lutefisk !

Wow, the discussion of any demise of the forum is enough to make the Christmas Grinch gloat with glee. I understand jam49's thoughts . . . we have become an interesting community of cyber friends with a very unique item binding us together. Our Ollies are very important to us all and the wealth of information, ideas and skill sets amongst those interacting here is invaluable (and FUN as well). There would be a void if it were ever lost. It needs to be emphasized that Oliver has not given a scintilla of evidence they have any intention of pulling the plug on this forum. Our trailers are named the "Oliver Legacy Elite" out of respect for, and in homage to Johnny Oliver, who was the inspiration behind this venture. I can't imagine they would not give this their sincerest efforts for a very long term success. That being said, I'm sure the the FGRV community, over at http://www.fiberglassrv.com wouldn't mind a group of folks striking up more conversations specific to Ollie's. That forum is for all molded fiberglass trailers and is not brand unique. As to the possible gathering of a current contact list, Cherie, thanks for your expertise and willingness to consider helping, if needed. I am sure with your savvy you'd figure out a method to keep it it safe from all of our attempted spammers we're getting from Latvia, Russia, etc. Enough of this . . . I'm going to go back to the land of Christmas Cheer! May everybody have a Happy New Year! See ya'll on the Oliver Forum!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

jam49, Fellow Texan! The 300w unit will protect 180 cu ft of space . . . I believe it would be enough to enough to provide Revilo a nice safety net against any loooooong, cooooooold spells you might encounter Aubrey, How did your temp tests work out

Aubrey, I zip tied the Xtreme heater to a 10 X 12 inch flexible, non skid, rubber mat and inserted it into the hold under the aft dinette seat. It rests just aft of the smart charger and blows the warm air back between the external shower box and the inner fiberglass shell. This helps protect that weak point Mountainborn spoke about earlier, where the short threads are on those two hoses. This morning it dipped down to 30 degrees. After my first Cup-of-JO, I went out to take some temperature readings using the infrared thermometer that I have for checking tire and hub temps. Here's what I got as I pointed the "red dot" around between the two egg shells. Shower box - 55 degrees. Back wall of trailer on street side - 55 degrees Back wall on curb side - 42 degrees (shows the air circulates around between the shells) Water lines near water pump - 41 degrees I ran a ceramic heater inside the trailer on a very low setting. The inside temp was 45 degrees. The Xtreme heater is plugged into a new a/c outlet in the fusebox using the same circuit as the refrigerator. It has 15 amps of protection which is more than enough. Thanks for suggesting this great addition to our trailers, Aubrey!

Well, yes, our "Great State of Texas" does have a lot of variety in it (topography and weather). You made someone's Christmas special . . . you were and ANGEL to them!

WOW! Christmas Eve . . . A departure in the wee hours of night for a 600 mile trek to accomplish a "mission of a few minutes" . . .Tornado . . . unbelievable weather forecast . . . massive storm end . . . an sunshine followed by SNOW It must have been a mission of mercy accomplished by an Angel . . .
