Welcome!!! You will love it!

Yes it is John. I tried to copy and paste with my MacBook but couldn't copy. I am sure operator error was in play. I used it for about an hour or so with my Ollie and was satisfied. Connection was warm but not hot. 90 degrees led to some of the temperature. Thanks for your help!

Actually I ordered one from Amazon. They have several for sale, I try to always stay away the the cheaper ones and go with a reputable company. $44 NEMA. L-5- 30. 30A/125V. 10AWG

Picked up our Ollie last week with the additional 30A plug and it does NOT come with an additional cord. I purchased an additional 10' cord for generator use if needed.

We picked up our camper yesterday! (Monday). Phil Andrews and James Oliver did an excellent job answering all our questions in 3 hours. We are planning on staying till Friday morning then heading to Cloudland Canyon State Park in Ga for 2 nights before returning home in Palmetto Ga Sunday afternoon. I had no idea there is a 80% chance of rain tomorrow. Not sure I will change our plans but will continue to just learn our Ollie. We had another Oliver that pulled into the campground this afternoon for a 1 day stop before heading out for an another trip. It was great to stand and chat for awhile 6 feet apart of course. If you are well seasoned campers then I understand not camping, but of course you never know what little problem you may have when you get home. Have a safe trip! Thanks for all the post and excellent answers from all these past 9 months or so. All the information made our walk through seem less intimidating. I will post a few picks when I get home

We are planning on attending. Hopefully things will calm a little by September dates.

6' 3" 295#. We pick our Ollie up Monday. The 2 times my wife and I were in Hohenwald the bathroom was a concern and the bed length. As others have said in reply that the shower is adequate. I had room to shower and maneuver just fine. Of course I would like a little more room but to me it is all part of the experience of camping. My last 2 campers have been a 32' motor home and a pop-up. The Ollie has a huge bathroom compared to the pop-up! The bed length is fine because I do not sleep in a straight line. The king size bed would have been nice but the trade off of having access to cabinets and the hall way made the twin option better for us. The best option is to make the trip to see an Ollie in person. They are a unique camper in function and craftsmanship.

Congratulations!!! Welcome to the family.... Erv & Sherry

Congratulations!!!! Welcome to the family! We pick ours up on the 27th. The time will fly by and you will be driving away soon with a big smile!

Welcome!!! Hope. to meet you. We pick up our Ollie in 3 Weeks! Erv & Sherry

have to pay Georgia sales tax. My came to the tune of $4200.00 to get my tag. I had to pay a similar amount of sales tax in Utah when I registered my Ollie at the DMV We are in Fulton County GA about a mile from Coweta County, so I guess my price for my Ollie just got bumped up a bit. Oh well, the price we pay! In my mind I figured that was going to be the case, but with taxes you just accept the fact and move on. We may not like it, but we are blessed to be able to buy an Ollie! Thanks for the comments guys and gals.

I will let you know after I get mine home after July. I am not thinking it will be that much. Is Montana the state people use for registering exotic cars? I guess I may have to do a little research too. Maybe some Montana residents can chime in. I always assumed you had to register where you lived or had property. I do have a house in NC, what is the tax basis there for Ollie owners?

Gary, My wife and I did a ton of research before purchasing a new Oliver which we will pick up in a month. We looked at Bigfoot and Lance and were very impressed with those trailers but once we took the Oliver factory tour, our minds were made. The Oliver is at another level with the quality build. You will find a few problems with Bigfoot and Lance that are related to other RV's with wood interiors. Leak problems and other irritating issues are far less in the Oliver. We looked real hard at the single bed but the issues that Mike and Carol mentioned were our thoughts exactly. The twin beds were much more versatile and you can always make some modifications like ones shown on this forum. These are some very wise and crafty owners who can modify their Ollie to fit their desires. We also looked on the forum at many of the used campers which were some very good deals. At the price of a used versus a brand new we made the decision to buy new figuring it would be our last camper purchase. I do not think you can go wrong with either choice. Oliver still have issues. but almost all of them are with RV appliances which cannot be avoided. The Ollie will be as sound in 10 years as the year you purchase, that is why the resale prices stay high. Good luck with your search and I recommend the tour. Erv

Congratulations !!! So exciting. We can't wait! Erv & Sherry Carter. Hull 650. Picking up July 27th!

Congratulations! Love SE GA. We are down on Crooked River often and it is beautiful country.

We have a small mountain home outside of Maggie Valley NC that is a 1/4 mile from the Blue Ridge Pkwy. Western Carolina is filled with so many neat little towns that have their own uniqueness. Looking for elk around the Maggie, Cherokee and Cataloochee area makes for a great afternoon. Haywood BBQ in Waynesville, Dillsboro, and now in Franklin is some of the best BBQ east of the Mississippi. I always dread leaving when we have to leave and head back to Atlanta. We are blessed to spend time roaming around the mountains. Erv Carter

Congratulations!!! Welcome to a new adventure! Erv & Sherry Carter

I purchased 2 of the A1 2300/1800 generators from Sam's on sale for $700. I researched every brand out there and the Honda & Yamaha were the front runners for sure. With the amount of use it was hard to justify the expenditure to purchase one Honda.... and with the current recall that kinda made my mind up. (Plus having $300 in Sams rebate cash made the decision much easier.). The reviews on most all different brands are very positive. Availability and trust in your neighborhood store or repair shop is really what makes or breaks having a good experience. Usually if you do not have problems from the start when you purchase a product you normally are satisfied. I have ran one of the generators around 2 hours now and it seems to do a very dependable and capable. Only time will tell. Once we get our Ollie in July we will do some testing to make sure everything runs great. Erv Carter

Welcome!! Hope to meet you at the Rally. We will have ours about a couple of months when we attend the Rally.

We pick up Hull #650 July 27th. I am getting a bid on a shed build so I hope to have it covered. We already have a friend store his 35' 5th wheel on our land so we may be accused of having a storage lot. The 5th wheel will be left out in the field while the Ollie will be treated like royalty. I have been asked if the 5th is ours and I always say no and they do not interest me at all. My reply will be quite difference when we get our Ollie.

We just placed our first big deposit this week and went back and forth with many of the options. The option we struggled with the most was the Nature's Head. We almost always use the campgrounds facilities when we camp at National & State Parks and I do not enjoy the smell of the black tank additives. Our kids were shocked we went in that direction but we are giving the compost toilet the thumbs up. If we find we totally do not like it we can always do a refitting. I also felt like with the cost of the Ollie, I was spending so much more than any other camper, how much more did it really add in the scheme of things. The rear hitch and the street side awning were two items I will probably use the least. I figured the street side I could operate manually when I used it. We did not get the TV booster because we have found we watch internet tv and almost never network programming. In 40 years of camping, TV watching while camping was never on our mind but that is a personal thing. The solar option to me is a no brainer since technology is moving in that direction by leaps and bounds. The twin beds are a better use of room and flexibility. and the final note....the stock markets swings so much in both direction I figured I gained or lost more than the options every day.....

I just purchased a 2020 Tundra and will be picking up my new Ollie in late July. (I Hope). I looked at GMC and Ford. I liked the looks of the Dodge but a 2012 Jeep Rubicon that was the most undependable car I have ever bought prevented me from ever looking at another Dodge. A current friend has a new Dodge and the dealer is trying to fix a truck that has already met Lemon Law requirements. What sold be on my Tundra is that I have a 2011 Lexus 570 that has 215K and has been unbelievably trouble free. The engine is shared by the Tundra. It does lack some of the latest bells and whistles that GMC & Ford offer, but the motor just runs and runs. My cars always seem to have over 200K miles on them before I get something new, so I am accustomed to not having all the latest and greatess. Dependability was my most important factor which is why I guess the reason I am buying an Oliver. So here is my Tundra plug! I would have liked to seen what the 2021 Tundra was like but when my F150 with 267K transmission when out and my wife said "why don't you just go buy a new truck"..... you have to strike why the iron is hot.

Congratulations!!! You will enjoy it!!

I feel your pain. We have been pushed back to the end of July for our pickup. I really think when this all starts to subside, camping is going to take off. Travelling by staying in a hotel room or cruise will have the stigma of who used your room last night or bumping elbows in the dining room. Campgrounds will be one area where you will have your 6' of space and be away from the majority of crowds. I just hope the light at the end of the tunnel is getting closer before society changes to a stage we will not recognize.
