You may or may not like the cost involved. I believe @ScubaRx has disc brakes on his Oliver.

@John and Debbie Here you go and it’s even on sale! 👍🏻 https://www.etrailer.com/Accessories-and-Parts/Valterra/A10-1314VP.html?feed=npn&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=1672411894&gclid=CjwKCAjwuIbBBhBvEiwAsNypvQ1XKW9UZOvykONtRfVuZZ7Oa3mCtQb5eZYfkAeF53AIxmbXV19a9hoC2MYQAvD_BwE This looks exactly like the screen I installed.

@shhQuiet AI….…missed a minor detail. I actually removed and cleaned my interior filters on our Truma Aventa. Not hard to do and will save you a few bucks. Naturally Truma would like you to purchase new filters every 12 months 🫤. Planned obsolescence? 🤔 A little tutorial link…super easy. https://www.google.com/search?q=youtube+cleaning+Truma+aventa+RV+AC+filters&rlz=1C9BKJA_enUS1119US1119&oq=youtube+cleaning+Truma+aventa+RV+AC+filters&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOTIHCAEQIRigATIHCAIQIRigATIHCAMQIRigATIHCAQQIRigATIHCAUQIRigATIKCAYQABiABBiiBDIKCAcQABiABBiiBDIHCAgQABjvBdIBCTE5MjA3ajFqNKgCArACAeIDBBgBIF8&hl=en-US&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:572788ff,vid:B90-iekBCD0,st:0

Sounds like a perfect time to switch to the Gorilla hose Bill! 🤔

On our way back from the rally we had to stop at one of our favorite pull offs on the Smoky Mountain Expressway. So glad this scenic highway is in our backyard. Loving all things in the Smoky Mountains and the Blue Ridge! Mountains as far as you can see.

Thanks Chris! Nothing like tried and true field experience. Keeping it simple on the hose front!

Agree John, this has to be better than trying to put that a hard white plastic mind of its own magical “Camco Geine hose” back in the bottle. 😂

GJ, I have not used the hose yet, but it’s my understanding that they flatten back out to the shape you see it in the packaging. @Ollie-Haus or @Rolind can give more feedback on field use and storage.

A little feedback after first time use of the hitch clamp on my weigh safe hitch. It worked as described on our recent 1200 mile rally trip and the hitch/receiver ran silent running this clamp. https://www.hitchclamp.com/collections/3-clamps I opted to install the hitch clamp inverted or fastener sides up. It can be mounted either way. I find it’s much easier to put eyes on it and allows me to easily check tightness of the fasteners periodically during the trip or when refueling. The fasteners never needed retightening. Very happy with this quiet configuration. Onward! 🇺🇸

That is a very substantial difference wow!

Glad to hear your positive review. It will be a space saver and much easier to manage. Thanks!

Yes, I am happy to continue to wait for the Lithiums to drop even further. My AGM’s are still holding out just fine and I look to get a least another year or two out of them. The market in general for discretionary spending appears to be in a long pause. It appears folks are circling their wagons until the dust of uncertainty clears. No economic expert here, just an observation.

A big thanks to @Ollie-Haus for passing along this RV water hose upgrade while at the rally. It’s hard to imagine not having to wrestle with our fresh water white Camco hoses any more when storing them in the milk crate in our Oliver basement. So based on Chris’s recommendation, I scooped up (3) of these Gorilla collapsible 25’ hoses while at Home Depot this morning. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Gorilla-1-2-in-x-25-ft-Marine-and-RV-Hose-GMAR0025/325990305 “Two is one and one is none”.🇺🇸🫡😊

Here are the 2025 brochures we received in our SWAG bag.

@DanielBoondock I have seen some very good deals/significant savings on late model preowned Olivers very nicely equipped on the Oliver Travel Trailer for sale FB page. Some prices so reasonable, it almost seemed too good to be true. In my observation well maintained and cared for preowned Olivers typically sell quickly. At a minimum, maybe consider the factory tour in Hohenwald Tenn, as it is well worth the trip. Personally, I would never consider purchasing anything sight unseen especially a travel trailer new or preowned, just me. I certainly do understand everyone has a different comfort level. A big Congrats on closing in on your retirement, there is nothing like the freedom of being able to do what you want when you want and not being on the “work wheel”. Patriot🇺🇸

Nice site and great info on a good deals! Care to share what your towing capacity is on your Sprinter?

Full On Sparkle City with your fleet! Awesome!! 👏🏻🤩

Same here Mike -

GJ, great meeting you at the rally. I wish we could have spent more time talking Oliver TT! Glad you made the rally. Patriot 🇺🇸

Thank you Pete, you are spot on, these young guys are not technicians, but 💯 Magicians! 😊

Thank you Bill, we sure are grateful to have had this work done! 👍🏻😊

5 years with black window trim and no issues here either. We also pull window gaskets after each trip and used soap and water and compressed air and have never had any issues with water intrusion. It’s a cleaning and detailing ✅ list to do! 😊

Yesterday morning we left Hull #634 XPLOR, with Collin and Gavin owners of CGi who gave it the CGI 3 step Ceramic coating process. We really like that they kept our Oliver overnight which allowed the ceramic coating to cure for at least 4 hours inside their shop. All we could say this morning when they opened their shop door was WOW! WOW! WOW! 🤩 Our Oliver looked better than the day we took delivery June 16th of 2020. Their work is excellent and the attention to detail is truly amazing. With over 130 Oliver Travel Trailers under their belt they truly are masters at their craft. The CGI team knows exactly how to take care of ALL things Oliver gelcoat. We also had our windows and wheels ceramic coated along with everything white on our Oliver. This was an excellent seamless experience and a valuable investment in our Oliver. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Patriot 🇺🇸 One of several of their YouTube videos-

Another really good friend we will all miss at future rallies. It was great getting caught up with Rodney Lomax.

A pleasure meeting you at the Rally Vince, and glad you are apart of this forum!
