John, Hoping all goes well with Lou and his staff with your install. Maybe post up on how the install goes? I think you will be very happy with the Alcan leaf pack, HD shackles and wet bolts. Oliver Service might be able to ship you a jack pad/steel foot or for the bottom of your stabilizer or front jack. Or better yet a local RV shop may have a spare. I would consider using a little blue locktite on the fastener to secure it. Safe Travels!

And campfire stories..

These black end caps are Oliver OEM. You must be talking about the brass end caps that the black caps screw into. I attach the brass end caps you see in pic to my fresh water hose or filter connection for ease of quick connect. When breaking base camp, I just screw the black end caps and secure for travel. Agreed, the Ely fittings must have 1% gold flake in them 😄, they sure are proud of them. Looking good JD! Mod On! 😎

John, Keep it between the ditches and take your time. Safe travels!

Let the fun..

We had the Truma retro fit install and it does use the OEM condensate drain line and works great. We have never had any ponding of water on the roof, but we always level during set up. If your Truma ponds up you may have a kink in one of your condensate lines. I remember actually speaking with the Oliver tech about this prior to install and he assured me he would take extra care making sure this was a non issue and that the lines/drain tubes were not kinked during the retrofit. Oh those little details.

Same here Mike. We hike, deer, dove and pheasant hunt, fish, target practice, shoot skeet, cycle, and are all in for all in for enjoying the great outdoors. Heck we even flew in an open cockpit 1929 biplane a few years ago in Rhinebeck, NY. Ha! 33 years in and very grateful. Retirement is a beautiful thing and I highly recommend it!

RV lock was one of the first top 5 mods I installed on our Oliver. 5 years later it still works perfectly, has served us well and so convenient. I did replace the original key pad with the new updated silicone rubber key pad. Highly recommend based on our use and experience.

It’s a night and day difference, wise choice and welcome to the forum! I also see you have added a bunch of nice upgrades to your Oliver, well done! 👍🏻

By the way, thank you for your honorable service to our great country! 🇺🇸👍🏻

Welcome aboard and congrats on your new Oliver! Try and make it to the rally if you can! Lake Guntersville is a beautiful SP! Now is a great time to draft a camp arrival set up and departure check list so you don’t forget the small and oh so important details! Onward!
