That maybe it, bummer.

Glow in the dark? 😅

Strange, I just checked and added another one to my cart, still available.

Good grab, they sell out quick.👍🏻

I received an email from this company this morning https://www.trailersphere.com/stomberg-jack the Barker Jack cover back in stock and for sale on Amazon. A few owners have asked me about this cover and it’s now back in stock. It’s spendy and there are much cheaper covers out there. Personally, I really like the fit and finish of this cover. Passing it forward. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MHYCGJN/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Patriot🇺🇸

And not @topgun2

suddenly a splash

Heads up 22 and 23 YM Tundra owners… https://finance.yahoo.com/news/toyota-recalls-toyota-tundra-hybrid-185445370.html?soc_src=social-sh&soc_trk=ma Patriot🇺🇸

My thoughts- Yes, I would trust but verify in writing that the pressure test was done. Just me. Patriot🇺🇸

little more before

Micro fiber for the win! They dry fast on the back of our chairs, and are super absorbent.👍🏻

@MAX Burner We bought the (5) sided clam. It fit perfectly length wise in the short bed Tundra Crewmax we previously owned. We found it more than adequate for two people and a small table. We also purchased the window covers to block out the sun. Clams are great in the fall, but can get a pretty steamy in the dog days of summer. Back to the magic carpet posts! 😊 Patriot🇺🇸

We used to roll out a huge PVC mat I think it was like 8x10😳. Wrestling and cleaning this large mat became more trouble than we were interested in dealing with. So we opted to go a with a much smaller 4x6 PVC mat and lay a rubber mat that actually drains water through the bottom. The porous heavier rubber mat lays on top which keeps the pvc mat in place should a breeze kick up. I picked up two of the small PVC mats at Wally World for $20 a piece on an end cap. One as a back up should we need to replace the old one. The new smaller mat works perfect, has held up great and is super easy to manage and clean (hose off) and take up very little room in the bed of the Beast. My attempt to make set up and break down of camp a little more user friendly. The huge PVC mat goes in the donation stack. Small door mats matter!!! 😂 Patriot🇺🇸

Thanks @Bryan in NC it really makes a huge difference having our Ollie covered. Washing and waxing in the shade makes the work a bit more enjoyable.

Looking super!! 👍🏻👍🏻 Nothing like a polished Ollie! 😊

@SeaDawg wow 8 years outside, never covered, and no gelcoat oxidation that’s really impressive. Please post up a few photos of your OLE1. 😊 Patriot🇺🇸

Gabriel, @Rumline profile shows he sold his Oliver and has not been active here on the forum since May of 2020. Maybe someone else might chime in with an answer. Patriot🇺🇸

EVs….hmmmm? One has to ask? Who is fooling who?

In 3 yrs of owning our Oliver I have not seen the need to double up with an EMS for added protection. The Olivers built in surge protection has performed flawlessly. Patriot🇺🇸

Mark, First off welcome to the forum NC neighbor and congrats on your new Oliver. Yes, you presently have a truck that will tow an OLEll. As to whether you will be comfortable enough towing in the mountains only you can decide this. No questions, you will absolutely notice and feel a huge night and day difference when you bump up to a 3/4 or 1 ton TV. When we initially took delivery we started towing our 2020 OLEll with a 2014 5.7 Tundra Crewmax Platinum. It towed our Ollie ok but not great especially in the mountains. You will know you’re towing the Oliver. Based on our needs and what we carry and how we travel “ready to camp” our Tundra was not suitable for us. Our 1 ton F350 diesel has been a game changer in safety, long range driving comfort, cargo capacity, mpgs, and we really like the diesel engine brake. With an 3/4 or 1 ton you won’t need to use an Andersen weight distribution hitch which is highly suggested for most 1/2 ton trucks. No regrets bumping up to our Super Duty. Patriot🇺🇸

Always glad to chat all things Oliver Steve. Enjoy the trip and maybe convert a few of those Tearjerkers to new Ollie owners! 😊

Thanks we really like parking our Ollie under cover at home vs paying for a storage lot. It’s been a work in progress for sure. Since you don’t keep your Ollie under cover just be ready to address or stay ahead of the slow creep of your gel coat beginning to oxidize a chaulky white on the roof top and corners. Then there is the degradation of all your caulking from UV. Fun times!

Steve, There are (8) SS screw fasteners on each side of the top of the cowling that secure it. These screws are countersunk in the cowling and filled with self leveling sealer by Oliver Service at the plant on new models or older Olivers post a retro fit. So if you remove the cowling naturally you will need to reseal these fastener areas. Oliver adds the sealer to preempt any possibility of these fasteners if not torqued properly from leaking water into the top of the unit through the fastener counter sunk holes. I have never had the cowling off, others that have may chime in. I did add an extra small circle of PPF to the top of the cowling over the fasteners to preempt any concerns if the self leveling sealer were to fail. Patriot🇺🇸

We never drink from our fresh tank but still seasonally sanitize it. We usually carry 10 gallons of drinking water in one gallon containers. It stores nicely in milk crates in our TV bed. We will likely run out of food before water and restock as needed. I always chuckle when I hear “off the grid” camping. My thoughts are you are only “off the grid” as long as you have a plenty food and water supply and clean clothes. The grocery store, or laundry mat has the magical way to pull you back into to town for supplies to keep your “off the grid” camping trip moving forward in my experience. Just another view point.

@Boudicca908 I purchased these Ely quick connects and really like them. https://www.eleyhosereels.com/search?q=Quick+connects They make connecting to water inlets sooooo much easier and quicker and are solid brass. Patriot🇺🇸
