  1. I actually bought 2 of the Sams A1 2300 generators 2 weeks ago after reading a 1000 reviews on all makes.  Really wanting the Honda or Yamaha, I could not walk away from the $350 a piece deal especially since I had $500 in credit refunds.  It came with parallel jumpers and all I need.  I have only ran 1 for an hour and it really seems okay.  Only time will tell.  I figured it will be available for my kids during power outages and whatever circumstances come our way.  I have a 20 year Coleman 1000 watt that I run about once a year, have changed the oil maybe 5 times and it runs forever when called upon.  Of course it is much louder.  I intend to be a little more diligent on maintenance with my newer ones.   So bottom line, Honda better up their game if they want to stay the leader, all brands are catching up.

  2. Yes you will get some newer members in the fall!  We will be picking up our Ollie in July and look forward to being at the rally in September.  This is probably the only bright side I have found with the virus.  Maybe the other bright side is people have stopped and refocused on what is important and how truly special each day is.  I too am not buying all the media hype and feel for people whose lively hood will be drastically affected.  Hopefully some resemblance of normalcy will return soon.

  3. My wife and I took the tour in October and chose the twin bed option because of accessibility to the cabinets and not having to deal with taking the bed up and down each day we camped.  We still questioned our choice so we went back in February and spent several hours in the Ollie.  We are very comfortable with our final decision on the twin beds.  The only real advantage of the king bed would be diminished every time I had to climb down the bed at night.  We do want the access door and the Lagun table so I will have to make the modification after we take ownership in July.  Not being real comfortable with my craftsmanship skills I will probably find someone to do the Lagun table install. (I am hoping the decision is made to offer both by Oliver.  It seams like a no brainer to me)

  4. Excited owners in July 2020.  Been camping off and on all our lives but next summer as retirement is around the corner we hope to be camping much more often.   Have thoroughly enjoyed all the forums and great information in learning about our Oliver Elite II.  Not sure of our Hull # but am sure we can't wait.
