Yes, I caught that in a few reviews I read as well. Not a show stopper…just a speed bump. 👍🏻

I quickly discovered after opening the box that no condensate hose was packed with the above dehumidifier. So I shot a quick txt to @Ollie-Haus who confirmed I should have received one. A quick run over to Lowe’s and I found a piece of tubing that would work to drain the condensate into our gray tank. This hose eliminates having to drain the tank every 4 or 5 days. Here is my fix and the hose part # if you should receive this unit with no condensation drain hose. This new tubing fit snug, but I still opted to add the small radiator clamp. Caution no need to over tighten just snug the clamp up. After tightening the clamp, maybe give the hose a little tug to be sure it’s tight enough that it won’t pull off. Here is the unit buttoned up after the new hose install. I cut the hose length to 4’ so I can use it either on galley counter top or on the shower floor. My bride/copilot already has a storage spot in the closet ready to transport this while underway.

@Tony and Rhonda Tony, no apology needed brother, we are all in this together and passing info forward is what it’s all about. Forum thread searches are not always seamless, don’t ask me how I know 😄. Many times I just open source google a specific topic of interest regarding Oliver TT and it pops right up on Google. Thank you for posting this up!

Amazon delivered this today. As soon as my bride/copilot saw it she said “that will get it done. We store our Oliver here at home plugged in 24/7. Instructions say allow the unit to sit upright for 2 hrs. Not being in a rush, and taking solid advice from @Ollie-Haus. It arrived really well packaged and in its original box in side another Amazon box. It did not arrive upright in the box. (pic) I will let this “humidity eater beast” sit overnight upright to allow the all fluids to drain back properly. We are looking forward to firing this up and giving it a shake down right here at home and then afield. Let’s just say the humidity level is what we call “swampy high” right now with this heatwave. Thanks Chris for the recommendation! 👍🏻

GJ - Would lowering tire pressure a few lbs work to get you parked in storage? 🤔

The best ice cream I have ever enjoyed! 🤪😋

@Tony and Rhonda I cannot speak for early model Olivers, but our Hull #634 has labels for all jack points on the frame. I clearly remember being told by Oliver Service to use these jack points (pic) and NEVER the axle as a jack point as you risk possibly damaging the axle. So per Olivers advise, I never use the axle as a jack point or place jack stands supporting the axle. Some owners will use the levelers as a jack to change a tire. Again not recommended by Oliver likely and most wisely for liability reasons especially if the leveler should fail. But what could possibly go wrong? 🤷‍♂️ Rather than go down the 🐰rabbit hole, here is an old thread talking about all things jacking up your Oliver. You may find it interesting and entertaining. According to the link below earlier models had a shorter frame and as a result no jack point marker/decals. Stating the obvious here, it’s a good idea to always keep your tow vehicle coupled to the trailer when lifting it. Here is the jack that lives in my TV and for our Oliver. It has strong reviews and it happens to be on sale now. -https://www.amazon.com/Powerbuilt-620471-6000Lb-Unijack/dp/B00GJJZ5NI/ref=srj

We always have a complete set of duplicate keys with us. 😎 “Two is one and one is none”. 🫡 🇺🇸 I can honestly say 5 years in and thousands of miles of travel, fortunately, we have never have lost or misplaced our keys.

Great looking rig Bill! Nothing like our NC Blue Ridge Mtns! Blessed to live here!

Good to know! Thanks for posting.

Let me keep it simple too many 😂. Key pads on both my TV and XPLOR are game changers.

Like others have said, sorry this happened and hope you get back up and running soon. Lew at Alcan will get you squared away with new springs and even a pair of 5200# never lube axles if you are so inclined. I suggest the heavy duty shackles and wet bolts that Alcan sells if you decide to go this route. Safe travels!

@Ollie-Haus Hey Chris, Based on your in-depth positive review and recommendation I just placed an order.👍🏻 No more dehumidifier 🥵 envy! Thanks! 🤣 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D7MMW6S5?

Agree Mike, we hope this does not set a precedent. Here in NC we have a fuel tax at 40.3 cents per gallon that is supposed to be a source of key funding for road construction and maintenance. Then we also have an inspection tax of 0.0025 cents per gallon. 🤔

Good to know…
