I ditched the original sleeved lug nuts and replaced them with solid stainless steel ones.
Noted..I will follow suit. Thank you for the reminder.👍🏻

I called Matt and he confirm I was good-to-go. He also forwarded the confirmation. I still could not find the original after knowing what to search for. No biggy. They won't throw me out of the park, that's all I care about. LOL
The staff at LGSP are awesome!
With 69000 acres of a Pro Bass tournament lake and a grand lodge where no expense was spared. Meeting new Oliver owners and seeing friends from last years rally. Needless to say we are really excited and can’t wait!Patriot🇺🇸

We had our bulb seal replaced by Oliver under warranty as it was not sealed to the roof properly. Oliver dropped the seal down a bit and drilled holes in the awning mounting brackets to allow water to drain quickly instead of puddle between the brackets. Now it works as it should. It does require up keep and periodic cleaning. Trade offs for sure.

Also, I don't see any email from Matt Duncan in regards to the rally. Did everyone receive something after registering with Oliver?
Thanks,
We did and you should.

I agree. I want to try them and I'm confident they'd be great in finding my keys at home. How would these perform if one were in the trailer and it was stolen?
I ordered a set of (4) AT’s from Amazon and I too am interested on how well the AT will track a vehicle or a camper etc. We’ll be leaving our Oliver at Oliver Service for a few days next week having the Truma Aventa AC installed. I will leave an AT in the Oliver to get an idea of how well it tracks it location.
I am also going to place an AT inside our new Honda 3200i run it for awhile and see if it will hold up under the heat of the internal engine compartment. Apple says ATs will operate up to 140 degrees. We’ll see its survives or cooks.
I will report back my findings in the next several weeks.Patriot🇺🇸

There was a product called LowPro LockDown that was built for the Honda EU2000i, but it is no longer available. This one is similar.

I saw that and like it but wondered if it could be modified to work with the Honda eu3200i? I am thinking it’s a no go given the specs. Maybe they will come out with one for the 3200i. I may reach out to the manufacture.
Honda 2200i specs - 20.0" x 11.4" x 16.7"
Honda 3200i specs - 22.5”x 12.0”x 17.8”

A concern I had with the use of Air Tags is would heat from running the gen have an impact on the AT performance? It appears Air Tags are ok from -4 up to 140 degree mark. Naturally you would not want the AT secured and hidden around the much hotter exhaust end of the gen. Air Tags are not considered anti-theft, merely a tracking device if an item should grow legs 🏃🏽. I don’t see us leaving our Ollie without our gen secured and out of sight.
On the other hand, at $30 per AT with no monitoring fee this seems like a reasonable way to track items of high theft value. There is an easy hack to disable the (speaker) pinging feature of the AT so that the thief will not hear the ping. This audible pinging sound starts after 72 hr window has closed after the tracked item has gone missing.Even Mr. Magnus woof 🐕 as @MAX Burner mentioned. 😄

Excellent idea. I'm sure it will work just fine. In fact, just last Friday I departed Frankfurt on a fairly tight layover and my checked bag didn't make it... I'm the Middle East right now, and I've been tracking the progress of my bag to my current location. It made it to the local airport late last night. Thanks to Apple's Air Tags - you can easily track your lost/missing items so long as its within a cell signal...
I've got one on Magnus' collar, too! WOOF!
Yes on Air Tags. 👍🏻👍🏻

Thought this might be an interesting read for Oliver TT owners. This is quite an achievement especially helping folks who have might require or need this type of specialty tub.

JC,
Welcome to the fourm. And good for you on forward thinking and planning your retirement years. Naturally only you and your financial planner can make the best informed decision on this next chapter in life. You will know when it’s time.
If you are interested in an Oliver I would highly recommend you initially spend your time reading through Oliver University owners manual and watch the great “how to” videos developed by Oliver. Oliver University is a wealth of information and Oliver has gone to great lengths to produce the videos. Personally I think the videos are invaluable. I can assure you time spent reading on this forum and taking a deep dive in Oliver University will put you in a really better place should you decide to place an order. Oliver also offers factory tours if you’re ever in Hohenwald, Tenn. The tours are awesome! You can also contact Oliver and they will help arrange a showing of an Oliver by a local owner in your area. Many owners are more than willing to spend time with you to show and tell their Oliver.
Here is a link to get you started -https://olivertraveltrailers.com/oliver-university/
Most of all have fun on here, ask questions, we are all glad to help.

Not sure if it’s a need but it’s there and I use it because it facilitates the removal and replacement of the cover for the propane housing. I remove the port hole cover and stick my left arm through the hole and pickup up the cover, using the my right hand for stability.
Mossey
Thanks Mossey,
I will have to try that technique. I use to be able to do the “Hokey Pokey” so maybe I can just run my left arm through, pick up that cover with my right arm, turn myself around and set that cover down. 😅-

Naturally if some thief wants it bad enough, well I suppose they will figure out a way.

Would someone please explain to me why you need this port?
The only time I use this port is when I turn on or turn off my LP tanks. Naturally this could also be done by just removing the dog house cover.

HA!, You just read my mind @Ollie-Haus, and beat me to it! Hondas and other rather light-weight GENSETs have a habit of growing legs and running away (I've been told, but never had 1st hand experience). Been using that cable lock for some time now - piece of mind, right?
@Patriot: get 2 of 'em, brother!
Due to its light weight and portability it won’t be riding in the cargo basket while under way. Yes it will be locked down and secured away from prying eyes during travel.

Congrats, Patriot! That's looking like a great piece of kit for your Ollie. In particular, the fuel injection feature sure is appealing. More than enough power for running the new Truma and will charge your batteries at the same time, right?
Thanks Max, yes it will surely run the Truma, and keep bats topped off for sure. Right now our solar does a great job with our AGMs. 👍🏻

@Patriot, you're the first in our group that I know of with that Honda 3200i model.
I look forward to your (always honest and impartial) reviews.
Looks like a game changer, weight- wise. Lots of power vs slight weight.
But, you know how I love Honda gear.... I'm very happy for you.
PS non ethanol and stabili are always used in our small motors. Gensets, ski boat, yard tools, etc. I think that's part of their longevity. Besides the brand badges.
@SeaDawg Ha! Thank you for positive response and we look forward to putting the 3200i through its paces. I hope to post up Ollie interior decibel ratings soon. You are spot on, Honda gear rocks!

⚡️⚡️⚡️Today we gotta a call from our local Northern Tool store and learned that our Honda EU3200i had arrived from the warehouse in SC a week early. Yay! So we brought it home and topped it off with fresh oil, non-ethanol stabil treated gas and it fired right up.
A game changer being whisper quiet, light weight, and has all the power we need to run the new 13500 BTU Truma Aventa we are having installed in two weeks by Oliver. I really like the My Honda Bluetooth iPhone app, pretty cool timely tech. Its an easy lift and fits nicely in the Oliver cargo basket and at 60# which is half the weight of our Tri fuel Honda EU3000is. As mentioned in an early post, I plan on retrofitting this with the www.Hutchmountain.com LP conversion kit when it becomes available. ⚡️⚡️⚡️
Onward!

For gen users who prefer not to carry a smelly dangerous highly flammable gas can in the rear of their TV, (me) here’s another much cleaner burning EU3200i LP option. Just connect to your Ollie’s LP QC and power on.⚡️ ⚡️

@RustyMD
If you don’t have success with fixing it, submit a warranty work ticket for a replacement. Oliver is excellent about getting replacement parts out fast in my experience. I have typically only waited 3-4 business days maximum for a replacement part for example (touch lights) after the work ticket is processed and the item is shipped.
I suggest consider registering here for warranty claims or even if you’re out of warranty and need a replacement part. Your claim is opened and tracked and you also will be notified by email when your replacement part ships.https://support.olivertraveltrailers.com/portal/en/signin

Sorry, I assumed those were Harbor Freight. Either will work just fine. As a side note, I forgot to remove mine in the driveway once. I drove about 10 feet with them skidding along before they finally gave up and let me run over them. Ruined one (broke it).
That visual gives a whole new meaning to laying a patch of rubber in the driveway! 😄

Parking or setting up on hills and slopes? The thought immediately comes to mind- what could possibly go wrong? Overall you made it work, and hopefully enjoyed a nice lakeside stay and beat the odds of water testing your Olivers flotation capabilities.
Onward!Patriot🇺🇸

My inverter is still in its original location and after checking it last evening is still mounted solidly. In the past few years we have traveled over some really rough roads mostly in the Northeast. All good thoughts and recommendations in this thread on a solutions to preempt a possible failure or a fix IF the inverter mounting board fails.
After a conversation with Oliver Service yesterday, the failure rate of the present inverter mounting location is extremely low. I did see one reported failure on the Oliver Owners FB page which was posted in 2021. I don’t recall reading about any failures here on the forum, but I may have missed it. If anyone has had a failure please consider posting up.
According to Oliver Service the very few rare cases they have seen have been attributed to running max tire air pressure and traversing extremely rough roads.

What else could go wrong? 😅 Adapt and over come is the flavor of the day! Always try and have a back up plan.
One is none and two is one!
“Whatever can go wrong, will go wrong” into something that only YOU can do something about.
You did well!
