Hull 505 - Reports back Our SN for the failed unit was Hull 505 - SN DLE 60C - 29289053.. Another SN reported is.... Hill 1125 - S/N DLE 60C - 32153014 There were other reports before and after hull 505. Maybe Truma needs to reveal and report all suspect unit S/N to NHTSA?

Maybe this... We use one of these Hasko cup holders in our Bathroom for toothbrushes. They have a strong suction cup that sticks like crazy to the Ollie fiberglass. It can pivot a bit for adjustment on the curved wall. It comes with the cup but it can be removed and a typical store water bottle fits. It's called the HASKO accessories - Suction Cup Toothbrush Holder We feature it in our blog here along with other suction cup storage holders. https://4-ever-hitched.com/ggs-blog/f/our-top-6---storage-products

We have CPAP machines, so we sleep head to rear as our machines sit on the middle storage cubby. Our rear console also has AC , DC, and USB outlets on both sides so it works best for us to head rearward. CS

Welcome to the family. Maybe we'll see you in Texas in April during the Eclipse. We'll be at Lady Bird Johnson RV Park in Fredericksburg. Check out our BLOG below our signature for some sites we've traveled in our Oliver and news on the Eclipse. Craig & Rose Hull 505

In our case Truma kept pointing at Oliver. But once they got my failed unit back they changed their tune. Final Update: Upon factory inspection by Truma of the failed unit. They reported back to Oliver that the issue was with some improperly torqued connections inside the water heater, caused by improperly calibrated production tools at Truma. So they have fully refunded the cost of my repair. I don't know if NHTSA is taking any action, but I'll report back the results I heard from Oliver and Truma. I suggest anyone with fire issues turn it in on the NHTSA website.

For those planning to be in the area around Fredericksburg for the Eclipse, I've updated our Blog Pages to include an informational section on the Eclipse, including a link to NASA's Eclipse page. Here's the link to the blog: https://4-ever-hitched.com/eclipse-2024 Craig & Rose

Excerpt from the PDF above about visiting the area of the Eclipse: Tips for Visitors Eclipse Begins: Monday, April 8, 2024, at 12:15 p.m. to 2:56 p.m. CT - Total Eclipse visible from 1:32 p.m. to 1:37 p.m. An􀆟cipated Community Impact Days: Thursday, April 4, 2024 - Tuesday, April 9, 2024 Gillespie County’s popula􀆟on of approximately 27,000 people is expected to swell to 100,000+ during the impact period. It is best to arrive early, come prepared, and have reasonable expectations, given the situation. The Texas Hill Country is a beautiful, unique place, but please keep local hazards in mind and always know your surroundings. While Visitng During the Eclipse Impact Days: • Do not think, “We’ll just pick up what we need when we get there.” Supplies, cash, fuel, and restaurant meals may be limited or have long lines due to high demand. • Think about your personal safety and security: o Have a good communication plan with your family members. Cell service may be limited due to the increased volume. Have an out of area friend or family member you can check in with if you get separated. Pick a landmark where you can reunite if you get separated in a crowd. o Do not leave valuables in your vehicles. Think through your security plan and how to keep important items secure, i.e. cell phones, telescopes, binoculars, wallets, etc. • Make sure your vehicle/RV has been serviced and you are all fueled up and ready to go (gas, propane, etc.). • Help us keep our communities and public areas clean and safe; follow the rule “Pack it in, Pack it out!” What to Bring with You: • Eclipse viewing glasses • Water (plenty of it) • First Aid Kit • Necessary medications for you and your pets • Cash (ATMs may be limited during this time) • Sunscreen • Sunglasses • Hat/Visor • Comfortable walking shoes • Folding chairs • Jacket or sweatshirt (Texas weather is unpredictable) • Snacks/food for the hours, days you plan to be with us • Prepaid phone card - if you need to call long distance and cellular service is not available • Maps of the area if you need directions (print your directions and bring them with you); your cellular service may be limited during heaviest impact times

For those staying at Lady Bird Johnson RV Park here's the link to the Official Fredericksburg Eclipse site that has been updated. https://www.visitfredericksburgtx.com/eclipse/ FYI - The video linked below is from the planning meeting last spring. It's is an interesting watch just from the perspective of how a small town tries to plan ahead for being overrun by tourists. Video of the May 17 Fredericksburg Eclipse Town Hall Meeting The town is doing it's best to plan ahead but there are big concerns about gridlock the day after the event. April in Fredericksburg is always a busy time but this year will be over the top congested and busy. Per some earlier suggestions, we've booked for two additional days at the Lady Bird campground until the 11th Apr to stay off the roads.

Reflecting on 4 years of ownership, we posted a whole host of articles in the Galway Girl Blog Site today. We're trying to provide a place for new owners to find out about various gear for their Oliver. The most recent articles are here: All Camping Equipment Reviews on GG Blog Happy New Year to All Rose and Craig Hull505 - Galway Girl

I've made some changes to the publication of the Oliver Outfitters Guide in our Blog this week. The list we've maintained features the most popular camping equipment as purchased and used by Oliver Owners. When you click on the link inside our blog, you'll connect to a personal Oliver Outfitters idea list on Amazon. The purpose of this list is to keep track of the various great items useful for Oliver Owners. NOTE: The idea list is not compensated. ( As of November 30, 2023, Amazon's Idea Hub has been retired. This means that Idea Lists can no longer be linked to web-pages for compensation.) Here's the link to our blog where we've captured the non-compensated but still useful idea lists. https://4-ever-hitched.com/ggs-blog/f/oliver-outfitters-guide Happy New Year Craig Hull -505 Galway Girl

For Alaska we made reservations at key spot's first. 1) Denali National Park 2) Homer Alaska 3) Seward Municipal Campground 4) All of the BC Parks 5) Commercial Campgrounds in Whitehorse, Fairbanks.' Yukon Territorial Parks are all first come parks. (So plan for noon arrival to get the most choices.) When we booked Seward, we logged on the "first hour" of the first day they were available. By the time we finished booking our 4 nights, the number of sites had dropped to 10% available and that was in about 30 mins. Craig

FYI....Just updated our website with pictures to include all the fall stops for the Colorado/Utah and Arizona parks. If interested you can see them here: https://4-ever-hitched.com/fall-2023-%2F-mighty-5 Craig Hull 505 Galway Girl

A couple folks had asked about the stops we made for Alaska 2023. Here's an updated map with the list of stops spelled out on the map. We share the number of days we stayed at each stop in parenthesis each way (Outbound, Return) Red stops are the ones we made down the Casiiar HWY as our return route. We had a couple of Alaska Commercial RV parks we wouldn't suggest staying at: 1) Trapper Creek AK - Don't bother with the mudpit called Trapper Creek RV park, there are free sites or State parks all around that are much better. We were simply looking for a dump and that was the suggestion from RV apps. 2) Northern Nights in Glenallen AK....is now under new ownership...and it's chaos there. There are other State and National Parks near there which are much better. If you have specific questions DM me on the forum. Craig - Hull 505 - Galway Girl

We've finally been home a bit and I updated our website with pix of the Alaska Trip. If interested you can take a look here: https://4-ever-hitched.com/alaska-2023 Our route was North from Seattle up to Dawson and following the Alaska Highway all the way up to Tok, Delta Junction & Fairbanks. We then looped south to Denali, Talkeetna, Anchorage the Kenai Peninsula including Homer, then back up and across through Wrangell St. Elias to Tok AK, then the return following the Cassiar Highway down to Prince George. Fires in late August caused us to cut off from going further East of Prince George. s a result we returned home 2 weeks earlier than originally planned, but that was fine as we hit the road again in early Sept for our trip to Utah/Colorado and N. Rim. Hope you enjoy the pictures. Craig & Rose Hull 505 - Galway Girl

Thanks for the updates. We’re planning Nova Scotia and it wasn’t clear when those reservable sites will be online. Looks like checking back often will be required in Feb24.

Here’s our blog from a similar trip in 2023 (summer) We stayed at a mix of commercial and public camping sites on the trip. https://4-ever-hitched.com/alaska-2023 if you want to do direct message we can share a bit more detail. Enjoy the trip planning! Craig Hull 505

Frank, Sounds like you are about 2 years ahead of us. Thanks for your past posts Please consider posting some of your new adventures here! Good luck! Craig & Rose

Z My daughter was waiting for a bus near a friend’s home in Morro Bay and saw this Oliie across from the stop. She should now buy a lottery ticket!
