  1. Please post up what you learn from service. It will be invaluable feedback for everyone. I feel sure they will get you taken care of quickly.👍🏻😊 Patriot🇺🇸
  2. I recently did a fairly deep dive on lithium battery powered leaf blowers in attempting to come up with the best blower to use after washing our rig. I wanted a cordless blower since I occasionally wash our truck and Ollie while on the road. Yep, we like a clean rig, just us.😊 This YouTuber does a a pretty decent in-depth comparison of (8) battery powered blowers. His info helped me finally decide to purchase the EGO Lithium powered 765. So today with my Lowe’s Veterans discount I paid $296.10 for the EGO 765 with charger, 56v battery and attachment's. I ordered the shorter nozzel/tube with silicone tip soft tip off Amazon. This shorter nozzel/tube seems to be much easier way to maneuver the blower while drying a car or truck. The 765 will travel with us in the bed of our truck. After charging the battery and briefly testing out the EGO 765 on our rain soaked Ford Ranger today, I am initially very impressed with its water removal/drying power. It will be interesting to see how well it will perform regarding battery run time on our rig. I will post up additional info after putting the EGO 765 through its paces. A clean shiny rig makes a for a happy rig owner!😄 Patriot🇺🇸 https://www.lowes.com/search?searchTerm=ego leaf blower https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BQMR622L/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
  3. We had the Truma AC retro done and we do have the tiny weep holes you are speaking of.
  4. Do you have your neutral ground plug - plugged into the generator?
  5. Hohoho!! Well maybe not. 🎅😂
  6. Totally on point @GeoffChapman. 👍🏻
  7. Then it becomes an Air Scream 😂.
  8. Not advice 😄 I just never use compressed air. When we recently winterized, it took my wife and I maybe 20 minutes really taking our time. I think Oliver puts their winterization instructions in place to ensure that it’s easier for folks who might not own an air compressor and may not clearly understand that ALL water must be removed from the system lines or diluted with antifreeze. Side note: Tightening the white compression fittings is a regular inspection point for me. If one of those compression fittings is slightly loose, compressed air likely won’t get the rest of the plumbing clear of water. We don’t get long deep freezes here in Western NC, the land of long summers and short winters and I still use AF. All this said, I would never know that I have cleared every bit of water from my lines, so being risk adverse, I choose to use RV safe antifreeze and sleep really well. Surely others will chime in, and if compressed air works, I say go for it! Patriot🇺🇸
  9. Yes to all the above by @Frank C We have both filters. The above filter for decalcification summer use, and the other (optional) anti freeze 12v filter for winter travel. @Wandering Sagebrush Is it possible the previous owners may not have purchased the optional winter travel filter? We are really spoiled having the Truma on demand endless hot water, especially when using full hook ups and when it comes time for winterizing.
  10. More interesting news on the Teslas cyber truck problems. https://www.yahoo.com/news/austin-problem-tesla-descends-battery-111607306.html
  11. Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year! Enjoy the Oliver video! Mr and Mrs Patriot🇺🇸🎅🏻🧑🏻‍🎄
  12. Super Duty to the rescue…Tesla has long long honeymoon way to go.😄
  13. Congrats Max! What a special Christmas gift for you and your family. Soak it up! Patriot🇺🇸
  14. I agree on the Truma upgrade. We are very pleased with both our 13.5 Truma Aventa and Truma on demand hot water heater for many reasons. I feel pretty certain based on what I learned while at Oliver Service last Oct that Truma products may eventually be standard equipment on both OlEll and likely the OLEl. I think Lithium and Solar will continue to be upgraded options. Time will tell. Patriot🇺🇸
  15. An Elite interior, which we looked at very briefly before ordering our OLE2. It was just a bit too cozy for us and not as tall an interior if you’re over 6’2. A show stopper for us.
  16. Is weekend “campong” the similar to weekend camping? 😄
  17. Onward Oliver!! 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
  18. @Heather and Eric We have the convection microwave and absolutely love it. We upgraded to the convection microwave when we placed our original OLEll order, And I can tell you it really works great with zero issues regarding high oven heat. There is nothing like a roasted chicken with sides on a rainy cold night. Or the ability to heat up homemade chili or bake a lasagna while traveling. On our recent 6000 mile trip out west we used our convection/microwave a lot and we’re sooooo glad to have it. It’s hard to imagine not having a way to enjoy hot food. You can’t always rely on a campfire or grilling if there is a fire ban or it’s raining or high winds. We also carry a Weber Q1200 and it gets a lot of use as well. A quick call to Oliver will likely provide the answer you’re looking for. I would bet the conversion is not that difficult especially since your Ollie is a 2022 model. Please post up what you learn. 👍🏻😊 Happy Camping and Happy Cooking! 👨🏼‍🍳 Patriot🇺🇸
  19. At our last service visit in October, I was told that the new bathroom door will be identical to the current closet door only with a mirror attached to it. This should/will allow the door to be made by Oliver in house. The mirror would still be out sourced and attached to door. This new door/mirror will be a more rigid door than the present one. There is a possibility of this also being a retro fit. We’ll see! 😊 Patriot🇺🇸
  20. @ScubaRx Great news!! 🤩 We purchased our first Overland Camper an Intech “Pursue” from Bumgarner Camping Center in Lenoir. This is a small family owned business and they were excellent to deal with in both the sale and service of our former Intech. We actually know the owners and are excited for them to now be an Oliver sales and service center. The Bumgarner's are really fine folks and only an hour away from our home. Patriot🇺🇸
  21. Agreed. And sadly with the current situation with open borders we are going to see a lot more of these nasty diseases that we once for the most part eradicated in our country. The present illegal invasion streaming across our borders is continuing to bring with it lots of unchecked pestilence. When will we learn? Let’s hope and pray this changes soon. Patriot🇺🇸
  22. Great reminder. Here is a little info on RMSP. It’s worth a read. https://www.healthline.com/health/rocky-mountain-spotted-fever#pictures
  23. @Snackchaser Looks great! Nice grab! Here is the link of anyone decides to order! https://www.amazon.com/Powertye-Large-Cargo-featuring-Adjustable/dp/B002302CAG?th=1 Patriot🇺🇸
  24. A simple galley outlet “hack” which I wont take credit for. Someone on FB posted a photo of this 6” power strip and I don’t recall who. Anyway I ordered one. It just seems a little bit easier to plug in the coffee pot and toaster early in the morning.😴 Just passing it forward. Installs easily with 3m double sided tape sold separately. https://www.amazon.com/GE-Designer-Extension-Grounded-45190/dp/B07P889FHQ/ref=sr_1_8?crid=3EMUX18DKS0D2&keywords=triple%2Boutlet%2Bextension%2Bcord%2Bshort&qid=1702078039&sprefix=short%2Btriple%2Boutlet%2Caps%2C2082&sr=8-8&th=1 Patriot🇺🇸
