If pushing the reset button and no reset. Sound like a defective GFI

I really don't understand this conversation. To say don't use the city water just use the fresh water tank and pump doesn't make much sense. Your paying big bucks for this trailer to have both options. And they should work equally . The pressure regulator that Ott provides. is a factory preset pressure regulator and are widely used with no problem. They may have gotten a bad batch. It happens, not the fault of Ott. Of course if there is a leak from pipes/ connection then yes Ott problem. To spend big dollars for a fancy regulator with gage and adjustment knob is just personal preference I have used the brass type and the plastic type for years no problems. And always keep a spare just in case.

It may depend on your comfort level. A may trip will be ok as far as weather, most of the snow and ice will be gone. You will always have good and bad weather days. As far as travel, Gps is always a sure way to get there direct, but mostly hi way driving. If you have the time. Most of the trip my wife and I took from Florida around the country was to ask people and campgrounds what routes to take between states great advice on scenic routes, back roads and secondary hi ways. And most of the time, the time frames came out the same. As long as you arrive safe and in good spirits that's all that matters. Safe travels.

I also like the new features in the Chevy Gmc. But when does it get to many features is to much. Yes rear cameras are a must for easy hook up truck to trailer, and a rear camera on rear of trailer. To help with blind spots and the idiot tailgaters. Other than that the old school tow mirrors with blind spot mirrors. Are still a proven option. I still have options on my 2017 Chevy duramax that I may never use and I need to read the owners manual to figure them out. Unless my grandson is in the truck. When they have touch screen coffee makers as an option I'm in.

It's a nice addition to the jeep line they will be very popular I love the jeeps but always sadden about the tow ratings it may be great for the elite. I'll still keep the over kill duramax 4x4 crew cab 455hp 900+ torque. 18- 20 miles per gal. Plenty of room.

One thing I do hate auto spell corrections. Lol

One more thing to consider with the diesel choice. The transmissions I don't know anything about the Nissan. The Allison transmission is in the Chevy and gmc proven to be one of the best transmission. They are used in many diesel applications except ford and dodge. Through another wrench into the discussion.

Oh yeah a gun turret out of the roof of the Ollie would be awesome lol.

The 2500 HD duramax is overkill the 3500 way overkill but I guess you could always carry the Oliver in the bed instead of towing it. Surprisingly the 3500 HD dually is less money, not by much. I guess there not as popular as the 2500 HD

The old saying get what you pay for. I too went to the 2500 diesel, pulling a 30 ft Airstream around the country flat land, high up grades and down grades effortlessly. The Ollie will be over kill but still worth it. Fuel mileage, tow ratings low Rpms on those high grades and engine braking on down grades. If your going to hardcore travel long extended trips. It's the way to go. Short weekend trips close to home 1/2 ton gas will also work ok for the Ollie. I chose 2500 Chevy duramax diesel crew cab. For the most comfort. I won't argue the other makes its all personal preference. Have at it. Have fun

If your cargo weights are a concern which they should be and many overlook. Once you have your rig setup with what you want to carry there are many independent rv people that do rv weighing. They come to you and well worth it all corner are weighed tow vehicle, trailer and both together. Then you'll recieve a welth of info. On your weight limits. I had it done was very impressed. Rv Weighing. Com I would shy away from going to the truck stops and using the weigh scales.

As bill said a vinyl wrap would be better than paint endless number of options solid colors. Graphics, or murals. The best part it's just as durable as paint and when you get tired of it remove it and start over. Also in another thread about protecting the front corners there is a clear wrap made for areas of abuse. Chips etc. after a time remove and replace it. Good stuff.
-
Yes lots of pictures for structure points etc. great when some mods are made thanks.
A bad question and let's hope it never happens to anyone. It doesn't appear to be many repair options in a collision. Has Oliver ever experience this?
-

Does Oliver install an internal water pressure regulator as part of the system? Or is it aftermarket ?
-
There is a phone app. Bubble level it has bubble level, surface level, gyroscope, plumb line, metal detector.and compass all work great and are very accurate.

Thanks for starting this discussion. Not yet a Oliver owner till June. Can't wait, was a former Airstreamer 2016 30' my thought, it was the top of the line. Not really. As mention by other post I had similar problems. Could never get any warranty work done. We full timed across country for a year . Getting any work done dealers 2-4 weeks to get appointment. Even on the road thought we'd go to the factory to get warranty work done. 2 to 3 month back log. The wife and I went back To a home. And sold the Airstream. We wanted to down size to a 25' twin A.S until I found out the 2019 was more than I paid for the 30' in 2016 list $101,000 best price $86,000 I told the dealer that Airstream has lost the middle class buyer, Me. That the quality isn't worth the value. And they will have a down turn soon. Of course the dealer didn't care. A Google search for the best travel trailer Oliver came up the best. Although having many RV in the past I never heard of Oliver. I contacted Oliver and looked at an owners 2016 in my area. Great idea. I was sold. Hands down better quality than any trailer out there. Looking forward to a February date for plant tour and finalize options before the build. Thank you Oliver and the Oliver members.

A fire extinguisher won't put out the smoke which is the toxic part that will take you out.
-
One more note trying the emergency window you may get hurt be careful not easy. In an emergency situation. It's better to get hurt gettin out then staying inside.
-
Simple smell or see smoke get out. Burning fiberglass will take you out in seconds breathing it in.
get out first then decide the next step. Like another reply I don't think anyone has tried the emergency hatch maybe good idea.
-
Thanks for all the input. The good air flow extra light, and add tint all good.

Question to Oliver owners. How much use do you get out of the bathroom window?
Would it be better without it?
Vibrations
in General Discussion

I have noticed reading some of the posts that some of the problems that occur with the Ollie are from vibrations, loose wires, water lines etc. I know some travel gravel and unpaved roads, some of the vibration. I noticed at the factory tour that the wheels installed aren't spun balanced with weights. I maybe wrong, but wouldn't it be a good idea since they are light truck tires. An unbalanced wheel will cause vibration.
