  1. Awesome, and I read the entire link. A business needs to grow or die on the vine. Good for present and future owners! 👍🏻 Patriot🇺🇸
  2. A great find Chris! Thanks for posting! David
  3. After a recent 18-day trip, we were under numerous thunderstorm and hail warnings while camped. I decided to try and come up with a reasonable, low cost way to at least try and mitigate hail damage to our TV while parked during a bad hail storm. After giving it some thought, I went over to our local HF and purchased a few HF 72x80” large moving blankets and a few rolls of the HF fatigue mats. The fatigue mats will completely cover the hood and roof/moonroof of our TV. These mats can be secured with gaffers tape if we need it. The mats are super lightweight and can easily be trimmed to pattern your WS, hood or roof top. They roll up and store easily. Naturally, I hope we never have to use these mats or blankets. It certainly beats nothing at all. Generally speaking, we feel like the Oliver will fair well in a hail storm with exception of the solar panels. We do carry extra moving blankets for the solar panels should we need them. This is not perfect solution, but it’s quick, lightweight and workable. It beats having to leave our TV at a dent removal shop for several weeks. I would be interested in anyones else’s contingency plan to mitigate hail damage to their TV. These HF materials came to $80. This is still a work in progress. Here is a $500 option 😳 - https://hailprotector.com/products/suv3-hail-protector-portable-suv-truck-and-van-protection-system-between-234-and-270-in-length Patriot🇺🇸 A few photos- I will pattern an entire foam cover for the WS. The rear fiberglass topper will hopefully withstand small hail.
  4. There are benefits to Prime such as free returns. 😊
  5. Very happy with the Barker Jack cover fit and finish. I don’t hang my safety cables on the cover or use the 7 pin plug holder. They already have a secure storage location. I really like the visibility of the leveling bubble at the top and the zippered access to the Jack and light switches. I don’t know of any other cover that provides this feature. The cover fits nice and snug behind my 3200i generator cover. It’s a 💯keeper for me. Patriot🇺🇸
  6. “Maybe” Sounds like you need to spend some time researching a fire resistant roof top tent? 🤣
  7. Glad we don’t deal with these fires on the east coast. On a very rare occasion we have controlled burns to mitigate wild fires caused by lightning strikes. 😎
  8. I think this is a wise move by Oliver. Thinking forward and into the future about potential new customers and more exposure of the Oliver brand and having approved dealerships that can work on existing Oliver owners trailers. If you are in Southern California or Washington State or Maine and you need service on your Oliver it’s a long trek to Hohenwald. I think if Oliver can partner up with a strong dealership sales network and get techs trained up on servicing Olivers it has the potential for a very successful venture. It appears from Anita’s email nothing will prevent owners from still having service done at the Hohenwald Service Center. Onward! Patriot🇺🇸
  9. Make sure Oliver sends you the rivets with the lights, and you will need a rivet gun. 👍🏻 The last two PL’s I purchased did not have the rivets in the bag. 😕
  10. Mine arrived this morning. Nice quality.
  11. I sent you a PM..glad to help out in any way I can. Patriot🇺🇸
  12. Strange, I just checked and added another one to my cart, still available.
  13. Good grab, they sell out quick.👍🏻
  14. I received an email from this company this morning https://www.trailersphere.com/stomberg-jack the Barker Jack cover back in stock and for sale on Amazon. A few owners have asked me about this cover and it’s now back in stock. It’s spendy and there are much cheaper covers out there. Personally, I really like the fit and finish of this cover. Passing it forward. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MHYCGJN/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Patriot🇺🇸
  15. Heads up 22 and 23 YM Tundra owners… https://finance.yahoo.com/news/toyota-recalls-toyota-tundra-hybrid-185445370.html?soc_src=social-sh&soc_trk=ma Patriot🇺🇸
  16. My thoughts- Yes, I would trust but verify in writing that the pressure test was done. Just me. Patriot🇺🇸
  17. Micro fiber for the win! They dry fast on the back of our chairs, and are super absorbent.👍🏻
  18. @MAX Burner We bought the (5) sided clam. It fit perfectly length wise in the short bed Tundra Crewmax we previously owned. We found it more than adequate for two people and a small table. We also purchased the window covers to block out the sun. Clams are great in the fall, but can get a pretty steamy in the dog days of summer. Back to the magic carpet posts! 😊 Patriot🇺🇸
