XPEL can be removed from a vehicle or an Oliver using steam. It’s not permanent but is excellent paint protection in my experience. Call and speak to the folks at XPEL they will be glad to help you understand it’s applications. We are very glad we installed 10 mil XPEL on our Ollie. We had it installed on the front corners and dog house and all along the quarter panels of our Ollie. Find a really good experienced installer and you will be off to a great start. Cheers and Happy Camping!

Ollie in the Wild still camping at Interlake CG at at different and larger site….the weather has been incredible. Tonight’s low 58d. A little exploring on the Hunter Mountain Sky Lift in the Great North Woods. We had the Skylift just about to ourselves, a perfect time for the higher elevations of the Catskill Mtns.

I am going to look into one of these. Very impressive!

Ollie in the wild at Interlake CG in Rhinebeck, NY, a nice long level site with FHUP. This area is really in a drought, hopefully the farms will get some rain soon. Overall a nice CG and would recommend it.

Ollie in the wild at Promise Land SP near Greentown, Pa. A nice quiet place to overnight with 30 amp only at this site. Perfect for an overnight stay or maybe longer. No AC needed perfect sleeping temps at night! The host kindly gave us a heads up on lots of bear activity. A nice SP and would stay here again passing through.

Zarcor tinted window and blind install 2020 OLEll Hull# 634
Patriot replied to Patriot's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
We live near Shelby, NC approx 50 mi west of Charlotte. The Zarcor shade is not one of our first mods, but it’s one of our favorites. The install is for the most part straight forward. PM me if you have any questions that I can help with. 😊 -
Ollie in the wild at Endless Caverns RV resort near New Market, Va. An overnighter here on our way to the great north woods! Water and electric only with a dump station. Not a bad place but could use an infusion of cash to spruce it up a bit. Picnic tables were old and built for kids or midgets. 😅 We did not take the cavern tour as we were just overnighting and needed to travel on.

Not required but recommended which likely gets Nissan off the hook should something catastrophic happen and puts it on the owner. Open source - In both the 2021 Titan and Titan XD, Nissan recommends a weight-distribution hitch be used for trailers over 5,000 pounds.

Casper 10” “Element” memory foam mattress (mod)
Patriot replied to Patriot's topic in Ollie Modifications
Thanks for sharing the prices Steve, certainly prices have gone up since we ordered from Southern Mattress. Since SM is located here in NC we had them “yellow freight” delivered to our home and our total cost delivered was $900, I believe $150 of that total was freight. Happy Hunting! -

Care to share the KTT factory price? Hopefully much less than Oliver charges? Nothing beats a great nights sleep! 👍🏻 -
Casper 10” “Element” memory foam mattress (mod)
Patriot replied to Patriot's topic in Ollie Modifications
We are very happy with ours, nice grab at $449! It has been a game changer for us, it’s like soooo looking forward to a great nights sleep. -
Lois, You may or may not have seen this video by Oliver, if not here ya go. This clearly explains all that is involved with using a “compost toilet”. And it clearly states you will need to clean the poo 💩 bin at some point. We find using the standard black/gray tank system is very simple, and a whole lot less work. As you probably already may know you will still have to visit the dump station to empty your gray water tank if you ever camp in a FHU CG. Roll with what works best for your style of camping. Best of luck in your choice. 😊 Patriot 🇺🇸

Lois, You will get hundreds of opinions on the pros and cons of standard and composting toilets. I would suggest you use the search window a really great feature to learn about which system to consider. It has been discussed on here a lot. One thing for certain please do not be misled by the word compost. It takes a long time for human waste aka “hazmat” to reach its full compost state where it might be useable in a garden or as a fertilizer. You will need to to clean and sanitize the compost toilet and dispose of the “compost” properly in a dumpster or trash receptacle somewhere. With a compost toilet you will also need to dump your Ollies gray water at the dump station if where you camp does not allow gray water to be drained onto the property. Gray water with food particles can attract ants, insects and rodents. So lots to consider of which system is best for you and most importantly how you plan to camp. Also consider checking out YouTube University videos on the pros and cons of a compost toilet. You will see some real scoop on compost toilets pun intended 😅. We chose the conventional toilet as it totally suits our needs. I have zero desire to clean a compost toilet or dump a sitting urine bottle every few days. Let the comments begin!! 😊 Best of luck with your choice. -Patriot 🇺🇸

Opportunity for a FREE ZARCOR door window upgrade!
Patriot replied to hobo's topic in General Discussion
Don, That is very cool. Glad you scooped up on the opportunity! Timing is everything! -Patriot 🇺🇸 -
I have a ViaAir and carry it full time in my TV. It has served us well. If you have an SUV and are short on cargo and storage capacity just know this will take up a fair amount of room. Shop around for the best price.

We chose tinted as it matches the rest of the Oliver windows. 👍🏻 -

Paul, I have done business and spoken with John when I installed my new tinted window and blind, he is a very nice guy and a straight shooter! 👍🏻 Some lucky owner is gonna enjoy their new window and blind! 👍🏻 Patriot -
Congrats NC neighbors!! Your delivery day will be here before you know it! Patriot 🇺🇸

Steve, We did not like the southern mattresses with spring coils that we purchased prior to picking up our Ollie. Way too many pressure points for our comfort level. We sold them to another Ollie owner with full disclosure of our intentions to replace with memory foam. We purchased a Casper 10” Element and now enjoy deep sleep on what we call our “my cloud” 😴😅. There are other much less expensive mattress options out there if you choose to get creative.
