Gary, I would suggest you try using a heat gun on low or hair dryer first. If that does not work try using Goo Gone decal remover or WD40 and a plastic razor blade, very carefully scrape away decal. A few years ago, I had to remove and replace a small graphic on our “grocery getter” older pick up truck. It was a tedious job to say the least, but the Goo Gone really did a great job of getting the residual glue off the painted surface and did not harm the clear coat. WD40 also works well with decal and adhesive removal also. Suggest then you throughly clean the area with warm soapy water, rinse, dry, wax and add ceramic coat to the area after adding your new graphics. I do know from experience warm sunny days are your friend when removing decals and adhesives. There maybe be other suggestions, but this method has worked well for me. There is also a decal remover wheel that you can buy and use with a hand drill. I have never used this method and not sure how it would work on gelcoat. It appears to have strong reviews.

It does from me too. 😊 🇺🇸

Also important to note LGSP use to allow just a 1 day deposit for your site for the following years rally registration. Last year when making our reservations for the 2025 rally, we learned the park changed their policy and now you must be paid in full when you reserve your site for the entire stay at the rally. @MAX Burner great reminder on the military discount. 👍🏻🫡🇺🇸 Looking forward to seeing everyone at this year’s rally! 🇺🇸

Every picture tells a story….sitting dead level with an empty tank.

Stating the obvious there Bill 😂. Fortunately we have never run out of LP thanks to 30# tanks. And as mentioned, we have never encountered a problem locating an LP refill station anywhere we have traveled and base camped out west or on the east coast. Seek and you shall find. Patriot🇺🇸🇺🇸

In our last 2 years of fairly lengthy (42 and 48 days) trips out west and even up in Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, we have never had an issue or dire need getting our original 30# tanks refilled. We easily found “Propano” refill stations anywhere we traveled. Many CG’s have refill stations as well as many small towns. If you choose to swap out LP tanks it’s a good idea to check the expiration dates making sure the swapped refilled tank is safety compliant post swap. There is a possibility you maybe getting an older tank than you originally started out with. Our best practice is to never swap out our 30# tanks, we simply just get them refilled. This also allows us to maintain our LP tank integrity and actually see and know how much “propano” our Hull 634 XPLOR is sipping. 👍🏻🇺🇸😊 Onward!!

I would also recommend 30# LP tanks if you don’t have a set. We really like our 30# tanks and they have served us well.

I would highly recommend if you don’t plan on using your Oliver for an extended time period to consider covering it. The UV and general pollution can take its toll on your gelcoat. I agree with @topgun2 with regard to replacing your tires. Congrats on the “littles” aka “grands”.

Looking forward to hearing about your shake down review Max! 🇺🇸🫡👍🏻

Enjoy your time at the Gulf of America!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Safe Travels! Patriot🇺🇸

@SolitaryPine Welcome to the forum and wishing you safe travels and lots of fond memories. This is the place to ask questions for a variety of answers and true campfire stories! 😄 It will be interesting to hear how your Defender handles the high midwest winds when your rig is fully loaded and ready to camp. Onward! Patriot🇺🇸

You mean the search window is not working? I am shocked! 😮😄

I also recently experienced hairline cracks in the corner the exterior cowling of my Truma cover. I called and spoke withe a super friendly Truma Rep and explained what had occurred and was promptly sent a new exterior cover at no charge for the cover or shipping. I have had nothing short of stellar service from Truma reps with questions or ordering a new cover. I received the new cover in approx 3-4 days via fedex. Our Truma Aqua go came with a 2 year warranty. When we purchased new in 2020 Oliver actually filed our warranty with Truma. This must be done within 6 weeks of purchase. Pro tip 😊- you may want to add your tow vehicle, YM and Hull # to your signature. It will assist members of the forum to help you with questions you may have.

We typically carry both of our bicycles on a 1UP USA Super Duty bike rack. My wife and I are avid cyclist and enjoy rails to trails or just riding around in our CG. The total weight of our rack and bikes is appprox 110#. The bikes are locked down and covered with an XXL Yardstash cover I bought on Amazon.

Yes spendy for sure JD. It’s one of those buy once, cry once purchases. Ha!

I use a Y valve on the CG shore fresh water source for my extra hose “camp hose”. The rear bumper makes a nice shelf to support my water hose. My Andersen levelers came in handy as the slab had a slight fall to the street side to allow water to run off. This was at Teton Valley Resort in Victor, Idaho last fall, we love the Tetons. And this was a really nice base camp.

Your working too hard 😊. We have been using eley hose quick connects for several years and they have served us well and do not leak. A quick and simple way to hook up our water hose sans pliers. https://www.eleyhosereels.com/products/garden-hose-quick-connectors?srsltid=AfmBOorhl73lbWlG-pTRQ_aHjougxYv88x-aD4DfsGjJACCyuZjoAX0t More info here -

It might be a little easier with Air tags. Just got a reminder from my iPhone and Ipad to swap out old 2632 batteries for new. Done. ✅

After a call to Oliver Service on January 6 and leaving a brief v/m, I received a call back from Jason at Oliver. He said that the recall letters were goin out in batches and that Hull #600 to 699 letters were being mailed this week. We own Hull #634, and I received my letter mid week. ✅ The recall repair takes less than an hour. So if you have not received your recall letter yet, be patient Oliver is working on the letters in batches. If anyone does not receive a letter, may I suggest you reach out to Oliver Service. I know they will get you taken care of. Onward!

My recall letter arrived in the mail yesterday. This will be our 5th year using our Truma and happy to report, we have never experience any problems. Its been reliable and has served us well. We will have Oliver perform the recall and motor on.

Agreed, having lived a few years in no see um South Georgia/North Florida coast we found it’s just best to keep the windows closed and the AC on. We called those pests a flying set of teeth. 😂

@Roger Great report. I have always had an excellent experience at the Mothership, glad you did as well. Safe Travels!

A neat video promoting the “tubers” RV inspection business, Olivers Travel Trailers, and a good plug for your bird store business as well. Olivers really do sell themselves for those who have the means to spend the big bucks. I did not see anything in the video that has not been really covered in the many Oliver owner testimonial videos and Oliver University videos which I would watch if I were interested in purchasing an Oliver. We purchased at a what we feel was a really good price point in 2020 even got a nice discount due to an end of the month purchase. At today’s price point, only a short 5 years later, we would not be players on a new brand new Oliver. I have seen plenty of newer used 22,23,24 YM Olivers well optioned sell for much less than the original list price for various personal life reasons. Ouch. The price increase unfortunately does narrow the funnel of buyers to retired empty nesters with hopefully “disposable income” given that the OLE2 only sleeps three. Starting at 70k he was obviously talking about the Elite and not the Legacy Elite II. I have to admit the new price increase allows me to smile about our decision to buy when we did. All this said, we are happy with our 2020 LE2 and are sooooo glad we purchased when we did. Happy & Safe Travels and Happy New Year!

Safe travels Steve, I once had the unique opportunity to meet Dale Earnhardt senior during my former career. I asked him how he was doing? He said just “I am just keeping it between the ditches”. 😄 So I will pass it forward, stay safe and keep it between the ditches and have fun!
