@Ollie-Haus What a great idea and very solid mounting solution for Old Glory! 🇺🇸🇺🇸 The saddle clamps work excellent, a very well thought out mod. The flag pole and base base are rock solid. Despite the oppressive heat this afternoon, the install went seamless. Thanks for posting up! Patriot🇺🇸

I agree on the much quieter lower decibel rating of the Truma retro fit. It was a complete 💯 game changer for us. I also agree on the leverage having the Truma regrading resale value. It really nice being able to listen to music, talk on the phone and sleep without ear plugs. What’s wrong with a little peace and quiet in a $70-80k TT? 😄

From what we learned from the Truma tech at the rally, dehumidify is its own feature only on the remote. When we want to rapidly reduce humidity we use the rain drop button on the remote. This has worked really well for us. The owners manual/instructions for the Truma being translated from German to English are not great.

We chose frosted doors. The black doors highlighted lots of finger prints everywhere when we looked at the model trailers prior to purchasing. Jason Essary told me that the mirrored finish cabinet doors scratched easily. They also had trouble with QC with their mirrored door supplier. As a result the mirrored doors were discontinued.

@abcsfam That Westinghouse 4500 will likely serve you well. I considered a number of different generators when looking a few months ago. I agree with you. The Westinghouse 4500 dry weight at 104 lbs caused me to pause and take a step backward. I have had several Hondas over the years which have always started and served me well. I can honestly say a future upgrade to a 40# lighter “suitcase” Honda 3200i will be so appreciated by your back as the years go by. As an fyi, there is a company called https://genconnexdirect.net/eu3200i. that sells the 3200i with an LP conversion. Pricey at $3200 plus shipping. With a Veterans discount, I paid $2500 at Northern Tool for our gas only 3200i OTD. There are always trade offs. Patriot🇺🇸

@Cort It’s without question the used Oliver in your OP has been really neglected. This is what you actually can see. The larger concern which should concern any buyer is what you don’t see? With the number of Olivers for sale lately surely the right one will come along. I think you are very wise to move on regardless of how nice the seller is. All the best and happy hunting! Patriot🇺🇸

The end is near and…😂

@abcsfam aka Brent, Welcome and congrats on your Oliver! Lots of great info here on mods, do it your self repairs and a community that enjoys helping others with Oliver questions and occasional trouble shooting. Who knows? maybe we’ll see you at next years Rally at Lake Guntersville SP! Happy Travels and Happy Camping! Patriot🇺🇸

We got a little rain and no wind here in Western NC, our friends at who live on Marco Island said it was a gorgeous day there today. Appears all is calm, more hype than ever from the news weather heads. Onward! Patriot🇺🇸

Just your opinion and I believe you sold your trailer and no longer having a dog in the fight. These are exciting times to be an Oliver owner and to watch Oliver grow and spread its wings. 👍🏻👍🏻 Maybe try and not be this guy.😉

Awesome, and I read the entire link. A business needs to grow or die on the vine. Good for present and future owners! 👍🏻 Patriot🇺🇸

Very nicely done! 👍🏻👍🏻

A great find Chris! Thanks for posting! David

After a recent 18-day trip, we were under numerous thunderstorm and hail warnings while camped. I decided to try and come up with a reasonable, low cost way to at least try and mitigate hail damage to our TV while parked during a bad hail storm. After giving it some thought, I went over to our local HF and purchased a few HF 72x80” large moving blankets and a few rolls of the HF fatigue mats. The fatigue mats will completely cover the hood and roof/moonroof of our TV. These mats can be secured with gaffers tape if we need it. The mats are super lightweight and can easily be trimmed to pattern your WS, hood or roof top. They roll up and store easily. Naturally, I hope we never have to use these mats or blankets. It certainly beats nothing at all. Generally speaking, we feel like the Oliver will fair well in a hail storm with exception of the solar panels. We do carry extra moving blankets for the solar panels should we need them. This is not perfect solution, but it’s quick, lightweight and workable. It beats having to leave our TV at a dent removal shop for several weeks. I would be interested in anyones else’s contingency plan to mitigate hail damage to their TV. These HF materials came to $80. This is still a work in progress. Here is a $500 option 😳 - https://hailprotector.com/products/suv3-hail-protector-portable-suv-truck-and-van-protection-system-between-234-and-270-in-length Patriot🇺🇸 A few photos- I will pattern an entire foam cover for the WS. The rear fiberglass topper will hopefully withstand small hail.

There are benefits to Prime such as free returns. 😊

Very happy with the Barker Jack cover fit and finish. I don’t hang my safety cables on the cover or use the 7 pin plug holder. They already have a secure storage location. I really like the visibility of the leveling bubble at the top and the zippered access to the Jack and light switches. I don’t know of any other cover that provides this feature. The cover fits nice and snug behind my 3200i generator cover. It’s a 💯keeper for me. Patriot🇺🇸

“Maybe” Sounds like you need to spend some time researching a fire resistant roof top tent? 🤣

Glad we don’t deal with these fires on the east coast. On a very rare occasion we have controlled burns to mitigate wild fires caused by lightning strikes. 😎

I think this is a wise move by Oliver. Thinking forward and into the future about potential new customers and more exposure of the Oliver brand and having approved dealerships that can work on existing Oliver owners trailers. If you are in Southern California or Washington State or Maine and you need service on your Oliver it’s a long trek to Hohenwald. I think if Oliver can partner up with a strong dealership sales network and get techs trained up on servicing Olivers it has the potential for a very successful venture. It appears from Anita’s email nothing will prevent owners from still having service done at the Hohenwald Service Center. Onward! Patriot🇺🇸

Looks amazing, nice work!

Make sure Oliver sends you the rivets with the lights, and you will need a rivet gun. 👍🏻 The last two PL’s I purchased did not have the rivets in the bag. 😕

Mine arrived this morning. Nice quality.

I sent you a PM..glad to help out in any way I can. Patriot🇺🇸
