  1. An update- 9 months later and the Air Tags are still going strong. Patriot🇺🇸

  3. RustyMD , I had our “Ollie Hangar” built at our home in July of 2022. I had a 13’W X 55’L slab poured and contracted with a company out of Mt Airy, NC to have our Ollie Hangar custom built. We decided on 11’H X 13’W X 25’L steel structure. We keep our Ollie plugged into 30 amp while stored here. We presently have 4 car attached parking 3 upper garages and a lower basement garage just did not need a 5th enclosed garage. This open air metal building aka hangar has really worked out well for washing and waxing our Ollie and keeping out of the weather and especially the UV. Needless to say, it’s a real plus having our Ollie parked at our home and under cover. Also note: I have plenty of room to wash and wax our Ollie. Have fun deciding what to build that suits your needs! Patriot🇺🇸 This is where we plot and plan our trips and tell a few true camping stories around the fire - aka base camp. 😊
  4. I am very happy with my current cargo box and puck lock security basket for my 3200i. It’s all we need. 😉 Roll with what works best for your budget.
  5. I agree it is pricey even being completely custom powder coated and fabricated in Tenn. 🇺🇸
  6. I saw this on the Oliver FB page. It’s a nice looking storage box and appears well made. https://seabiscuitmetaldesigns.com/product/oliver-box/
  7. If Mike was referring to the Truma condensate drain kit which uses the Oliver OEM drain tube, we also have that and it has worked great.
  8. 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🇺🇸
  9. 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
  10. We had the Truma AC retro done and we do have the tiny weep holes you are speaking of.
  11. Do you have your neutral ground plug - plugged into the generator?
  12. 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🇺🇸
  13. 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.
  14. More interesting news on the Teslas cyber truck problems. https://www.yahoo.com/news/austin-problem-tesla-descends-battery-111607306.html
  15. Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year! Enjoy the Oliver video! Mr and Mrs Patriot🇺🇸🎅🏻🧑🏻‍🎄
  16. Super Duty to the rescue…Tesla has long long honeymoon way to go.😄
  17. Congrats Max! What a special Christmas gift for you and your family. Soak it up! Patriot🇺🇸
  18. 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🇺🇸
  19. 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.
  20. Is weekend “campong” the similar to weekend camping? 😄
  21. Onward Oliver!! 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
