Thanks Chris, I was not present for that portion of the rally Q&A. 👍🏻👍🏻 -
Model Year Changes - 2020 to 2023/2024

@SeaDawg It could be that a Truma Service Center might install a Truma furnace in an Oliver I am not sure. I was told by that Oliver will not be retrofitting the Vario heat furnace, I honestly don’t know how new it is. Jason Essary could provide more details. It would be expensive for sure. Patriot🇺🇸 -

I know no one has asked or mentioned this. I learned from service that the Truma Vario furnace will not be a retrofit ever. FWIW.. Patriot🇺🇸 -

@SeaDawg All really great points. Especially on the truck frig and the manual awning. We really like the manual awning and our Truma cooler/freezer. I did not know the manual awning is no longer offered 😕. Patriot🇺🇸 -
Sharp eyes! 😊 It’s just a sun screen that prevents any of the early afternoon suns UV from hitting the front of our Ollie. It depends on the summer solstice. I came up with this idea after washing, buffing and waxing one day. So far it works really well.

@Ralph Mawyer We recently had the Truma upgrade completed on our 2020 LE2 by Oliver Service and are very happy with it. A game changer for us. Some folks are fine with the Dometic, we were not. We have no interest in the smaller compressor fridge. We have the Norcold with more space and it serves us well. The Lithium pkg was not offered when we ordered our Ollie in 2020. When ordering we did upgrade to the AGMs. We have the Truma Aqua Go and for many reasons like it. The only upgrade I would consider is replacing our AGMs maybe someday when they give up the ghost with new Lithium batteries. Hopefully by this time Lithium batteries will have come way down in price. Time will tell. A recent quote from Mike Sharpe at Oliver Service for the basic Lithium conversion on our LE2 was $10k. 😳 I am just not a player at that price as I don’t see long term return on resale. On the other hand if I was looking at a used Oliver and it had the Truma Aventa AC, I would consider the the puchase of a used LE2 with the Truma AC over the Dometic Penguin. FWIW.. Patriot🇺🇸 -
We also have a https://www.gentent.com so that we can run the 3200i in the rain. Patriot🇺🇸

I remember ordering it off Amazon and do not see it offered there any longer. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=rv+jack+cover+weatherproof&crid=CGZ15DHQQGCY&sprefix=%2Caps%2C126&ref=nb_sb_ss_recent_1_0_recent

Honda presently does not make a cover for the 3200i. I opted to order this cover from https://www.coversandall.com . I measured and ordered the gen cover to also fully cover the 3 gal roto pax, security tray and puck lock. There are grommets at the base of the cover which I will run para cord through to cinch it securely in place. I really do like the high quality of the cover and based on my ordering experience, I would order from this company again. Happy Camping! Patriot🇺🇸 Hull# 634

Good idea! 👍🏻When we return home from a trip we always dump a few gallons of soapy dawn detergent down the toilet and galley sink and flush out both our tanks. Followed up with a tank blade valve lube to keep the blade valve happy. So far so good!

And as it should be! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Wow! I hope your delivery was a short haul and fast. I would not want to deal with that odor for hours of driving. 🤢 Seems a full blank tank up charge might have been in order due to the odor! 😷 Patriot🇺🇸

We always try to recycle the red cups along with any empty 1 gallon water bottles when possible. Burning any trash is something we just try to avoid. Our thoughts are simply: If we pack it in, we pack it out. Paper cups are a good option! Patriot🇺🇸

@Galway Girl Did I read correctly that the Starlink subscription is $120 per month? Patriot🇺🇸

Wet floor under black mat in closet

Did you learn what the cause of this issue was? Would you mind posting up any details and what you learned? This could help another member if they discover the same issue. Thanks! 😊 Patriot🇺🇸 -
Really nice work on the glass organizer. We opt to roll with the space saver solo disposable red cups mainly with cabinet space being a premium. They stack easy, less dishwashing, light weight and no glass breakage. Our last night at LGSP Oliver Rally we grilled and had a fun meal with 9 or 10 friends. The solo cups worked great for our guests. Just another option. 😊 Patriot🇺🇸

@Jstone A great report on the Traeger Ranger, Thank you! We also have the Q1200 grill and it travels really well. It looks like a Traeger Ranger maybe back on the front burner (pun intended) for purchase at some point! Great report and your photo makes me want to hickory smoke a few racks of baby backs! Foodies full On here! 😊👨🏼🍳

Not a spring coil sleeper here, as we really like memory foam. It appears your modification may very well work out for you! Please post up on your results so others may know how it worked out. 👍🏻 Patriot🇺🇸

@Going Coastal I would suggest sending those photos to Oliver Service and see if they can assist you with a resolution to your issue. You have obviously had a leak or likely still do if you’re smelling a strong odor. Even though you are years out of warranty they very well may have seen this before and could suggest a fix. It can’t hurt to ask. Patriot🇺🇸

Thank you for reviving this thread! Great food brings us all together! 👨🏼🍳😊

That is a nice set up Chris! I like it! I may need to look into that pellet grill. ✅

@SeaDawg I considered the Traeger Ranger when first were considering a travel smoker. After doing a fair amount of reading a few years ago on owner reviews I hit pause on purchasing one. We do have a Traeger LiL Texas for home grilling and smoking and it’s been a really good grill/smoker. It appears the Ranger may have better reviews now. Maybe someone on here who has one can chime in.👨🏼🍳 https://www.amazon.com/Traeger-Grills-Ranger-TBT18KLD-Pellet/dp/B07CT4FPG6/ref=sr_1_3?hvadid=557163802470&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=9009957&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=b&hvrand=17439925018347464128&hvtargid=kwd-545340831766&hydadcr=14837_13352686&keywords=traeger%2Branger%2Bgrill&qid=1686518776&sr=8-3&th=1 The Traeger Scout still has not so great reviews. 😕

Front to back is 26.5” - so I am 2.5” over. That said to date we have 8000 miles on the 1 Up and zero issues with how it is mounted on our Oliver. A brief discussion with Oliver Service prior to ordering the 1Up Super Duty rack we learned there have been no reported or known issues with this present configuration. You are welcome! Pedal On! 🚴 Patriot🇺🇸
