Mike, That looks excellent, very well done sir. Your Ollie looks showroom. -David

Nan, I am not saying this is the absolute best TPMS sensor out there and in full disclosure we have not used it yet as we hope to take delivery of our Ollie mid June. I did a fair amount of research and decided on and ordered this one. Bill -Topgun2 wisely recommended ordering the two extra tire sensors one for the spare on the Ollie and an extra. You can order this with a (6) sensor pack. The monitor is not overly large and will fit conservatively on our TV dash. This one also has a color display. I also managed to catch a sale on it, I think I paid 370.00 shipped. Others may chime in with their choice. I hope this helps. -David Here is a link- https://www.mobilemusthave.com

Landrover, We dealt with love bugs and no see’ums when we lived in Kingsland, Georgia. We used a mix of hydrogen peroxide and water to help remove love bugs off the paint as soon as possible. They sure can make a mess. We called the no see’ums flying set of teeth with wings..brutal. -Patriot

Landrover your right, it almost seems like we will need a moving truck...😂 ...I actually had to reorganize the extra Ollie gear in my shop the other day. Indeed the fun of it all. 👍🏻

Bobfirst, Here is what we ordered for our 2020 Elite ll. It fully encloses the mattress and is water proof. You have to call AB and order this complete cover as it’s not listed on their website for the OLEll yet. Hope this helps. -Patriot

Thank you, -Patriot

Really valuable info Mike. Thank you!

Will the black weather stripping eventually bleed with time? Just a thought?

No, I use 303 protectant and it protects clean vinyl and unfortunately does not clean dirty vinyl in my experience.

Following...

We placed an order for complete bedding for our 2020 Oliver (in production) and during our research discovered that AB lifestyles manufactures a complete waterproof mattress sleeve/cover for the twin mattress set. So we ordered a set. It’s not listed on their website yet so you need to call and inquire if interested. USA made 🇺🇸 by our neighboring state In Iva, South Carolina. We have purchased from AB before and they really do make nice high quality linens. Hope this helps anyone interested. http://ablifestyles.net/?fbclid=IwAR2wQ0n-M5IW3H2kbBB1fEbyrOf5Xb1NxCeBkmKtl5lO3V0pPkurne5P2mo Happy Camping! -Patriot

A hobby- We have owned our Traeger pellet smoker for over 5 yrs and have smoked baby back ribs, a few 9# briskets, chicken, trout, wings, plenty of wild game. Venison, wild turkey and bacon wrapped pecan smoked wild dove pictured, my wife’s favorite. We have been extremely happy with our Traeger and would not hesitate to replace it with another Traeger. I use apple, pecan, hickory and mesquite pellets depending on what I meat or game I am going to smoke. Ours is the Little Texas model, not for travel. We may consider a smaller Traeger scout grill or the Traeger ranger for travel. We really have enjoyed our Traeger. I also pecan smoke our own 12 hr marinated jerky. I need to determine if the scout or ranger is compact enough to carry in our TV- https://www.traegergrills.com/pellet-grills/portable/scout Edit 06/11/23 - we have owned our Traeger 8 yrs now. 👨🏼‍🍳

Thank you, Purchased. -Patriot

Thanks for your solid review John. I ordered this Werner ladder and it will travel in the bed of our Tundra. I could not find a telescopic ladder that I felt like could trust and be comfortable on. Werner it is.

Ride and Fly, (hey neighbor) Thanks for the recommendation on this compact no fuss no muss cartridge no leak grease gun. Ordered. https://lube-shuttle.us/lube-shuttle-one-hand-grease-gun/ -David

We heard some positive news this morning that our National Parks are in the process of opening back up. Hopefully this is accurate. -Patriot

😂 Bill, you were the man for the job!

If there are threads on this topic my apologies, my search did not reveal any when I typed in First Aid. Mods redirect if need be. We are planning to take delivery of Hull #634 mid June and we want to have a really nice first aid kit on board. We also hope to update our CPR and First Aid training at some point in the near future. Suggestions on a well stocked First Aid Kit in the $150-200 range suggestions welcomed. What’s everyone using? Thanks! -Patriot

Ron, Hoping you got your issue resolved. Any thoughts and feedback appreciated on what the issue was. -Patriot

Wyofilm, I am interested in learning your furnace issue final outcome. Did you get your issue resolved? Any and all feedback appreciated. -Patriot

Wyofilm, I am interested to learn how the rest of your testing of other systems turned out on your new Ollie. Have you been able to do a thorough shakedown yet? Thanks in advance for your feedback. -Patriot

Yes, a big thank you to Jason and Oliver Service. The videos are extremely helpful.

Yes indeed very nice work Trainman it looks better than factory. Thank you for the photos a real plus. I have read others have used hot glue or silicone to secure the screens. I like your idea of a SS wire install since you can remove the screen much easier if need be and it’s just a very seamless clean finish. Well done. John Davies thank you for the link to the S/S screen - ordered! -Patriot
