Yukon, The attached from Michelin should address your question. Andrew [attachment file=Michelin RV_Tires_Brochure.pdf] Here is a link as well: https://www.michelintruck.com/assets/pdf/Truck_Tire_Data_Book_Sept2011.pdf Michelin-RV_Tires_Brochure4.pdf

John, It is my understanding it should be closed during travel so the contents of the grey tank does not slosh up into the shower pan through the floor drain and open when in use. Andrew

Spike, The wife and I agree about the density of the cushions. We both bottom them out. I understand that happening for me at 235 lbs. but, she is 115 lbs. Anita from Oliver gave me the name and number of the upholsterer they use and suggested I contact him. His name is Richard Johnson (662) 706-1873. He is in Mississippi. I have yet to contact him but need to very quickly as we are a month out from the beginning of production of our Elite II. I am going to ask for either 1.5" of memory foam and 2.5" of a denser foam, than normally used, or just 4" if denser foam. When I call him, I will update you on what I find. If you call, please do the same. Andrew

Am I missing something? It is my understanding from Anita, at Oliver, the electric jacks at the back of the trailer are for leveling the trailer from side to side. Leveling blocks/Anderson Levelers under the tires are not necessary, unless the site is extremely unlevel. I see this a big selling point for the Oliver. Am I misinformed? Please note, we are picking up our first Oliver on May 29th. Andrew

Once the bugs are worked out for everyone, it would be great to be able to click on the cabinets, the refrigerator, etc. and see in them. The Wife loved the virtual tours as well. Thanks again, Andrew

Works great on a PC. It really makes you feel like you are in each trailer. This would be a good way to help customers visualize the interior color combination options. Thanks! Andrew

I don't know about the comparison but Oliver is charging $269 for Hypervent on the standard floorplan and $179 on the twin.

Mike, I hope you had a great trip. How did your mods work out? Any adjustments needed? Andrew

Mike, Thanks for the link. I had seen the post but dismissed it because it was a twin set up and I wasn't considering that as an option. Andrew

John, I am surprised at 6'3" you can fit on the twin comfortably. I would need to do the modification Mike referenced to be able to sleep at a slight diagonal but what you did would solve the cushion problem. I would have to figure out how to fill in the center section and what to do with the pad during the day. Thanks, Andrew

John, I will send Anita an email tomorrow to see what she has to say and let everyone know.

Yesterday, the wife and I got a chance to finally walk through and admire, what we believe to be the best built trailer on the market in North America, the Oliver! We were very pleased with everything, except for one thing, the seating cushions. We have looked at dozens of RVs and can’t think of one with such poor quality padding. I am 6’5” 235 lbs. and expect to give a cushion a run for it’s money but, my 115 lbs. wife bottomed out the cushions. The other trailer we are serious considering is a Safari Condo Alto F2114, which comes with a 4” memory foam cushion option that is very comfortable and would work well to sleep on. The Twin Bed with the KTT Mattresses, is not a options because of my height. We would have to get the standard floor plan/King so, I could sleep at a slight diagonal. Our concern is, what can we do to make the sleeping experience comfortable? The cushions are so soft they wouldn’t even offer enough support to make a topper useful. The best I can come up with is to replace the foam inserts with a much denser foam and then use a memory topper but, I really don’t know how difficult and expensive that might be. We also don’t want to leave the bed made up all of the time because we would like easy access to the upper cabinets and increase the sense of space during the day. Has anyone come up with a solution to this problem or does anyone have any idea of how best to address it? This is a deal breaker without a viable solution. Thank you for your suggestions.
