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!

Yeah, its camping and as we all know weather happens, and naturally not all travel and camping is fair weather. The blessed/best part about it is everyone got through it unscathed and with no damage or injuries. Really just a good reminder for all Oliver owners to always stay dialed in and weather aware. Our SL mini was on point helping us monitor conditions. The bright side, today is going to be absolutely a gorgeous sunny day here and I am glad we are not leaving until Monday morning. As for storm pics, I don’t think given the intensity of the wind, hard rain, lightening, light hail and strong winds anyone was out taking photos. Everyone seemed grateful for being spared from weather that could have really gotten ugly in the blink of an eye. Grateful here! Onward! 🇺🇸

@Teaney Hull 292 Gary, What a pleasure to meet you. And a big congrats on winning that Truma C36 wow! 🤩 We really like ours and if we can help with any pointers shoot me a PM. Safe Travels and here is hoping our paths will cross again! 🇺🇸 David & Kathy

Despite a little wind, small hail and wet weather, we all survived and look at it as a great exercise in boon docking.😄 Overall it was really so good to see old friends and make a few new friends. And speaking of old friends one of our favorites made it to the rally this year. So good to see and love on Miss Anita!

That would be them! We always keep a few extras on hand.

So glad it all worked out and you are good to go! Now enjoy and wishing you safe travels! 🇺🇸
