Landrover

What gets me when they had the non rally rally a short time ago in the middle of every thing Scott Oliver was there showing off the new Ollie. They had several get togethers one was a QA for newbies with Scott Oliver at the main club house. Seemed like a rally to me. May not have been a full blown rally as in the past but still a rally.

Another good setup. The only problem with this is you have to disconnect and reconnect the tee to the propane tank every time. Unless you have a separate propane tank.

Here is the set up I use instead of the propane quick connect. Simple easy to install . With a 20ft hose reaches just about anywhere. Works with all appliances and only cost about $35.00 minus the hose.

🧐 I believe by law they have to keep certain parts available in inventory for several years. At least that is how the auto industry is. Not sure if a small mfg, like Oliver has to adhere to the same.

Any one have a GoPro to put under there to see how much the springs flex while traveling?

I’m glad its a no no to talk politics on this forum. I’d have plenty to say about the rise in fuel cost since January

Dust? Yes its every where not just in the Ollie in your house your car and on you. Clean the best you can. Guess what, it will be back tomorrow. One of those unfortunate things in life that your never get away from. Unless your bubble boy. 😉

A simple theft deterrent for us is to break down camp and put every thing away if we are going to leave for some time. Some will argue that it makes it more inviting for theft. It has been in my experience that if your in the area were there is other campers and they see your camp stored away they will pay more attention to your camp while your gone. For us it is important to at least say hello to fellow campers, most campers will look out for each other. It has worked well for us. Then again we are in changing times.

If you visit any of the winery’s or distillery’s you will definitely have to stay the night. Taste testing🤪

A lot of times i just use the tailgate of my pickup. It makes a good work station Webber baby Q cutting board connect the grill to the front propane tanks. It works well when done just close the tail gate. I’m also looking into using one of the slide drawers on the deck system in the truck bed as a pull out kitchen.

We all went

Interesting there must be more to this story. When I picked up my 2019 LE2 I had several issues that I caught before ever leaving the parking lot. Two days camped in the parking lot, all issues were resolved. While at David Crockett SP. two more problems all taken care of. They weren’t owner errors. One month later several more warranty issues. Oliver staff set me up with the closest dealer to me and all work was covered no charge. Your warranty should cover all items for at least the first year on non Oliver items ac fridge etc. and Oliver’s warranty is covered for two years. Which is one of the best compared to others. Unless this all changed.

Ditto to BackofBeyond just stated typing the same. Have a two person check one to check all the areas. And one to shut off the water supply quickly. Good luck.

Patriot Nice work. Great pics. I plan on doing the same mod. I don’t like the idea not being able to see out the door. As a safety reminder I’m sure most know this. At night and you need to look outside if you hear a noise or someone is at your door. Always turn on your outside lights on, and leave all interior lights off. Any one who is outside will not be able to see you inside due to the tinted windows, turning on interior lights you be seen plain as day.

Yes it is. We’re looking at a target date April - June most of the snow birds will be gone not many this year. Weather still not to bad before the real rainy season severe storms start and the 90s plus and high humidity start. And yes i will report back with map locations and photos. This will be somewhat no real plan trip just going to follow recommendations and have fun with it.

Not to worry no political talk here. It did give me a great Idea. We are always traveling out of Florida to different destinations. Why not travel Florida? Going to try to travel down the west coast around the Everglades to the keys back up the East coast hopefully zigzag East to West trying to use back roads. While heading north then west around to the pan handle then home. It may take some time, there are a lot of new Harvest Host sites just added to Florida, most of them are Winery’s and Distillery’s. 😳 Any one who has traveled Florida I like to hear some of your favorite destinations Campgrounds, State parks, attractions etc. I’ll make a list of your suggestions and try to do most of them hopefully. It will be much appreciated. Thanks

You are getting a discount on your Ollie. If Oliver was a dealer based Company like airstream you probably would be paying airstream pricing for the Ollie. The advantages of direct factory buying no middle man price increase.

We also have both. We tend to use the sleeping bag as secondary bedding for short trips. I would use the sleeping bag more if they were zippered on both sides I’m a turner and wind up getting wrapped up in the sleeping bag, We purchased bedding from ABS bedding and really like the custom fit sheet and blankets it gives you that home sleep feeling. In short which ever make you more comfortable,

A very nice upgrade. I personally would not consider it. My current Chevy duramax 2500 averages 450 + miles full to empty that a lot of miles for us to travel at one time. Towing a large Rv it may be a good idea less time at fuel station’s trying to maneuver around. With the Ollie we are in and out in less than 30 min that’s with taking a bathroom break, stretch out and a quick snack. Recharged and back on the road.

For those who are buying the tools for tire removal for the first time. A suggestion, it would be a good idea to practice changing the tires if its your first time. It would be better to learn how to change the tires on the Ollie in your driveway and get comfortable with it than have to change a flat tire on the side of the road. Which in most cases will be in poor conditions. Un even surfaces. Not a lot of walk around room given that vehicles and trucks will be wizzing by you at 60 -70- 80 mph’s scary. you should also check with your insurance carrier most policies now have some kind of road side assistance for tire changing. The down side to that option is a very long wait time or you may not be able to get service. It all depends on the situation your in at the time you have a flat. Safety first.

My tv has factory TPM. I don’t have the monitoring system on the Ollie. If there is a slow tire leak i would notice it in the trailer handling. If it was a major blow out i would be checking my shorts before I checked the monitor. 😳

Also a note to remember we are dealing with actual truck tires. Not the china bomb tires found on most travel trailers one of the selling points for me. Very happy to have them.

I leave the anode out after I drain the water heater. Then plug the hole with a piece of cloth to keep critters out. My thought is that there is still some water left in the bottom of the tank and leaving the anode in, it may continue to deteriorate. Just remember to put it back in before you set out. I also run the water first before putting the anode back in to flush out any stagnant water left in the tank. My procedure only others will way in on there how to’s

2019 hull 484 tires were balanced either by the mfg or Oliver not sure which. I suggest high speed balance and not a static balance bubble balance. I don’t think any tire shop does bubble balance any more. That was done when the wheel was fist invented.

Thanks topgun 2 i just replied to jd. maybe this could all be one thread rotation, Wheel weights and possibly tire wear and age for replacement?
