Happy Thanksgiving Oliver family! We enjoyed incredible venison tenderloin last evening with a little char, as we gotta have a light crunch 😋. Today another feast of deep fried Turkey and sides at our friends farm. We said we would bring desert. So my amazing bride baked up a cast iron skillet apple pie and a blueberry crisp! Who needs dinner? 😂

Rubber window molding outside is getting discolored
Patriot replied to Jheim's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
No streaking issues at all with the black window seals. I tossed the white seals in the recycle trash bin. Patriot 🇺🇸 -
All the very best for many safe miles and adventures! Welcome to the family! Patriot 🇺🇸

100% agree with the comfort level and the 6.7 PS diesel 10 speed smooth as butter! 👍🏻

We leave our TV in the stored up position, no issues. 👍🏻 Patriot

Off-Road Vehicle Recovery Fatality
Patriot replied to Geronimo John's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
Thank you for sharing all of this info. No question there is a lot more involved then just snatching some one out of a ditch. If one is unsure let the professionals have at it. -
As others have mentioned just keeping a good coat of wax on the gelcoat and using warm water and a mild carwash soap keeps our Ollie looking great. And yes plenty of elbow grease. 👍🏻 Patriot

Gorgeous photos and views! Thank you for sharing!

Any further updates on the progress on removal of your Dometic AC and the install of the Truma? Patriot -
Congrats on your new Ollie. Now you can enjoy making it your own! Happy Camping!

Draining the fresh water tank?
Patriot replied to Dave and Kimberly's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
Agreed Steve, Yes, no issues at all with draining the fresh water tank in this manner. 👍🏻👍🏻 Even if the popo 👮🏻♂️ were to question the water dripping from your Ollie, it’s easily explained. In most states cops have bigger fish to fry. 😊 -
The loop Interstate 459 around Birmingham Al is to be avoided completely if you can. It’s the worst interstate we have ever been on. Interstate 88 in upstate NY is another stretch of highway we will never travel on again…awful. We try and plan our trips on the roads less traveled.

2 5/16" Bulldog Hitch Available for Oliver Elite II
Patriot replied to Dale C's topic in Towing an Oliver
No ball wear issues here. Then again I don’t have an Andersen hitch. -
I disagree. In our experience storing our 11” thick memory foam mattresses on their edge standing alone when we are not using our Ollie. We have had absolutely zero issues with either of them not retaining their original shape. Just an observation. Patriot 🇺🇸

Ron, We have never removed our cushions while in storage at our home and have not had any issues. I suppose you could stand them up on edge, we do this with our memory foam mattresses. We only run our dehumidifier above 41 degrees per the instructions in the owners manual. Nice job on the Ollie Hangar build It looks very similar to ours. 😊

Great pics and thank you for sharing! I hope you bagged a nice big bull elk! Elk is one of our favorite red meats besides Buffalo and Venison. -Patriot 🇺🇸

Since my solar panels are under roof, yes I do keep it plugged in 24x7 keeping my AGMs charged. Naturally I don’t have the frig on. We run a dehumidifier only when it’s over 41 degrees outside. Our Ollie has been fine plugged in since we took delivery in June of 2020. - Patriot 🇺🇸

We turn on our Norcold refrigerator on 8 hrs before loading it up with food and set it on the #9 highest setting. It’s ice cold when we load it and it keeps the food cold until we return home. The freezer also keeps food really frozen as well, no complaints here and see no need for a fan. Having 30 amp shore power here at home really helps with systems check and trip prep. 😊 -Patriot

Welcome aboard neuhausca! All the best with your decision to consider an Oliver. There is a lot of great information on here and Oliver University. -Patriot 🇺🇸

I use TST TPMS and use rubber valve stems with zero issues. 👍🏻 Roll with whatever works best for your application. 😊

Oliver will take care of you. Submit a work ticket and follow up with a call. Oliver took excellent care of us regarding a wheel balancing issue I had while under warranty. I have had a stellar experience with Oliver warranty service. A side note, I had steel valve stems installed and was not happy with them at all and went right back to the rubber stem and have had zero issues. The rubber stems are flexible steel is not. Any road debris that hits the steel valve could likely cause a leak in the valve. Just another thought.

Call and speak with Jason or Mike, they will get you dialed in. 👍🏻😊

We winterized yesterday being risk adverse. I think it took maybe 25 minutes to winterize taking our time. The Truma makes winterizing really easy. In the fall we pack and carry our winterization hose and pump with us along with a few gallons of anti freeze should we take off to a much warmer costal climate.
