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 ๐บ๐ธ -

We leave our TV in the stored up position, no issues. ๐๐ป 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. ๐๐ป Patriot

Any further updates on the progress on removal of your Dometic AC and the install of the Truma? Patriot -

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. ๐๐ป๐๐ป Even if the popo ๐ฎ๐ปโโ๏ธ were to question the water dripping from your Ollie, itโs easily explained. In most states cops have bigger fish to fry. ๐ -
The loop Interstate 459 around Birmingham Al is to be avoided completely if you can. Itโs the worst interstate we have ever been on. Interstate 88 in upstate NY is another stretch of highway we will never travel on againโฆawful. 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 donโt have an Andersen hitch. -
I disagree. In our experience storing our 11โ 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 ๐บ๐ธ

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. ๐

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 ๐บ๐ธ

Since my solar panels are under roof, yes I do keep it plugged in 24x7 keeping my AGMs charged. Naturally I donโt have the frig on. We run a dehumidifier only when itโs over 41 degrees outside. Our Ollie has been fine plugged in since we took delivery in June of 2020. - Patriot ๐บ๐ธ

We turn on our Norcold refrigerator on 8 hrs before loading it up with food and set it on the #9 highest setting. Itโs 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. ๐ -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 ๐บ๐ธ

I use TST TPMS and use rubber valve stems with zero issues. ๐๐ป Roll with whatever works best for your application. ๐

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. ๐๐ป๐

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.

Hey Thank you for the kind words Katjo! ๐ We have AGMs and we keep it plugged in all the time. We have met a few folks that full time in there Ollie and they have no issues with being plugged in 24/7. We also run a neat little dehumidifier when the weather is above 41 degrees. -Patriot๐บ๐ธ

Hi Darrell, We used a Calmark cover the first winter of storage and it worked well. As others may have mentioned your solar panels will not be working if you choose to cover your Ollie. Last July we had a steel building aka โOllie Hangarโ built at our home to help keep our Ollie looking new. We have 30 amp service so keeping our Ollie charged is not an issue. We could not be happier with our Ollie parked right here at home vs storage fees and security concerns. We also really like not having to cover our Ollie with our Calmark cover as it makes it so much easier load up and take off south for warmer weather this winter. We choose not to have our stabilizers down when itโs parked in the hangar. Happy Camping! Patriot ๐บ๐ธ The hangar structure dimensions are 13โWx25โLx11โH allowing for plenty of room for washing and waxing. The actual slab is 12โx55โ. Also no need for lighting in the hangar as the Oliver lights are more than adequate for any work I need to do.๐ Blueberry Hill where true camping tales and funny stories are told. ๐ I had the 12x55 slab poured with just enough fall that even in the hardest rain water does not run under the Ollie.
