Welcome!!! Erv & Sherry Carter. #650

E28, Erv & Sherry #650, Chattahoochee Hills, GA

Welcome! The fun is just starting. Great purchase!

the price we were quoted was $5600 but I am asking exactly what will be replaced. $1000 more for 210 more AH seems very reasonable. I wish I could do it myself but 2 fake knees and lack of knowledge ..... I know my limits. Is the company available for similar installation or was this a friend quote? Thanks for any information

Fixing to be in the same boat. Have inquired with Oliver about the changeover. Mind sharing the price of your cost as to what I may be looking at from an outside vendor. The Oliver swap was to 390AH I believe. I have sent a request to see exactly what the price covers. Thanks for you info if possible.

GA RV Pros 210 Shamrock Industrial Blvd Tyrone GA 30290 Very nice workshop. Very quick service, we picked it up the next day. Their rate was $180 per hour.

While camping on a 3 1/2 week trip our curbside Dometic awning started acting up. It would only open about 2 feet and refused to open any farther. After numerous resets as per manual and several conversations with Oliver support we had to take our Elite II #650 to a Dometic repair shop. We initially believed that the relay had quit working which required access to the relay through the on/off tabs right inside the door. This ended up not being the issue. After more investigation the awning had jumped track and would only move 1 to 2 feet.. After a 3 hour charge we are good to go. When investigation this issue on the forum we had not found any other awnings that had had this problem. So this is a little input incase someone runs across this issue. I guess I should have climbed up and tried to see if track was an issue, but after resets performed in manual and on Dometic web pages, the motor would not jog after performing reset instructions. With my bad knees I tend to let others seek out issues not on ground level. Good luck and happy camping

https://www.drivingline.com/articles/f250-30-000-mile-review/ Late to the party but these are what I run on my 2022 250 Tremor and my 2011 Lexus 570. Love the tires and have had no issue at all. I am biased since my son wrote the article and took the pics.

Thanks for all your articles and advice. Always bringing up questions we all think but do not ask and then providing some answers to make us all think.. Enjoy your new adventures!

John, My Tremor has been shipped and I am waiting on delivery of my SD 250 Tremor. Living in the Southeast i really don't have the opportunity to hit dirt roads with the Ollie like you do out west. I do expect a rougher ride with the 250 of course when compared to my Lexus 570. I will definitely miss the softer ride but no Andersen and plenty of payload will be very nice. I could not bring myself to look at the Power Wagon. Nice truck with good reviews but a Lemon 2012 Rubicon has me soured on Dodge. I am excited to see how the 7.3 Godzilla pulls. Read great reviews but have not had he opportunity to actually drive one due to the scarcity of available trucks on the lot. Once I get my truck there will be a used Andersen available for sale.

Thank you for sharing. So glad you had great assistance and survived the ordeal. Hope you get your new Ollie soon and insurance treats you fairly. I wished these new trucks would implement all the cameras on the TV to record all activity. The technology is certainly there. If the Ollie rear cam would record, you may have been able to see the rear tag with some magnification of the picture.

Ordered a Diamond HD for my 2022 250 Tremor last week. It will be sitting in the barn waiting for the Tremor to show up in the next few months (I hope). After much research I thought it was the best for the money. The Renegrade bed cover is great but even more pricey and if you live on the east coast there is a $450 shipping charge. If you live near Utah they will install for free. Diamondback ships for free!

I received a email from my local Toyota dealer wanting to buy my 2020 Tundra Crew Cab 4X4 with 49,000 miles for $41, 250. Figured it was a scam since I paid $41,000 brand new. Eating wings with some buddies a couple of nights later and a friend tells me his son sold his Toyota. So I go down the next day and in 15 minutes the paper work is done. I would have never believed it. They now have it listed for $48,000 on the lot. I guess I could have sold it for more on my own but that was sure quick and easy. My next move was ordering a 2022 Ford 250 Plat. Tremor so I guess it will cost me more in the long run. I loved the Tundra but always knew I had to watch my payload when camping. Payload will not be a problem now. I do have a 2011 Lexus 570 that I will be using to haul until the 250 gets built. When building the Ford online my wife told me her company has a program with Ford and when I finished we would build the same truck with the code. Saved me a tad over $4K using the company code. I met the dealership and they informed me that they could not change the price one penny coming from the corporate program agreement, so I would not have to worry about an up-charge one it was delivered. The salesman did say it may take longer than normal for the delivery but I will be patient.

I tow with a 2020 Tundra and love it. Mine is the Crewmax 4/4. I agree the gas mileage is less than the other trucks mentioned but the reliability I will take all day long over Dodge, Ford and Chevy. I wish the payload was a little higher but we don't carry the kitchen sink with us. My buddy has the Ford Eco Boost and when he pulls his 28' RV his mileage is less than mine. I have a Lexus 570 that has basically the same V8 as the Tundra. Lexus 570 has around 228K miles and the engine just runs runs, and runs. I guess that is why I bought the Tundra with the V8. It ain't fancy with bells and whistles, but it is dependable all day every day.
