Personally I would not consider any SUV or 1/2 ton pick up a “great towing vehicle” after towing with a one ton diesel F 350. We started out towing our Oliver LE2 with an 2014 Tundra with an WDH hitch. It towed ok, but really worked hard in the mountain passes. We soon sold and moved to a much safer and capable TV. We took a hard pass on the 2022 Toyota Tundra for our needs as we felt it was a marginal TV with regard to 1400# cargo capacity, braking, and power after crunching the numbers. 1400 lbs or 1500 lbs of pay load is splitting hairs with regard to being well with in safe legal cargo limits with what we carry. I don’t want to think about how much cargo capacity I am crunching numbers on..ever. Even if you weekend camp with an empty Oliver you may still be really pushing the limits of your cargo capacity when it comes to insurance consequences IF something goes wrong. We presently tow with a one ton diesel and enjoy the mpgs, power, diesel engine brake and especially the total comfort level. Don’t let the tail wag the dog. 😊 Patriot 🇺🇸

Great photos Chris and Duke! It sure beats Florida with hurricane Ian on its way.😳

Your welcome, always glad to help out. 😊

Mt. Pisgah and the southern end of the Blue Ridge Parkway is a gorgeous area with some of the highest elevations. The Smoky Mtn Expressway is also a really pretty drive. My wife and I rode our dual sport motorcycles from the Smoky Mtn Expressway all the way to Front Royal, Va several years ago. It was a memorable week long fun adventure trip. We live in the foothills of Western NC and have spent time at Mt Pisgah. So glad you enjoyed the beautiful vistas of the BRP…it’s a national treasure for sure. Check out Mtn Mitchell and Grandfather Mtn as well for some incredible views. We love living in the western NC. 🇺🇸 -Patriot 🇺🇸

I use this on our Dometic Penguin it fits great, no birds or bee nests. You will have to google it. I think I ordered it from camping world $20 on sale at the time. There shipping was snail mail slow. -Patriot 🇺🇸

I use what Oliver recommends this ASI 335 - and have been happy with it. Do an online search for the best price. I also wax but never use a buffer on decals only a clean Terry cloth. Patriot 🇺🇸

Ordered to keep as a spare if needed. Thanks Frank C!

We keep it fairly simple when storing our water hoses, water filters, LP quick connect hose, (2) 30 amp cords and other miscellaneous items in the basement of our Ollie. We ordered a three pack of these milk crates. Two fit nicely into the basement and a third holds 6 gallons of fresh drinking water in our TV bed. We like the crates as they quickly air dry should any residual water drip out of the fresh water hoses after storing them. Our twin bed Ollie allows for quick easy access to the open top crate contents from the interior night stand (optional) basement access door if you want to store footwear or other items. Happy Camping! -Patriot

As topgun2 said there are many mounting options. My bride aka “navigator” likes being able to remove the 890 on the fly and type in directions while holding the 890 in her lap. The magnet works great quickly allowing her to place it back on the dash mount. We used the 890 all last summer visiting 16 states and 22 CGs. The location of our 890 does not obstruct my view will driving our factory lifted F350 has a tall stance, so no issues. Thank you Bill for recommending this gps! The RV890 is a game changer! 😊 This large magnet mount works great. It allows us to store the unit in our console vault when ever we exit the vehicle for an extended period of time.

Maybe consider a fly and drive? Now is one of the worst times I have ever seen to purchase a new or even a used vehicle. Low to no dealer inventory, long wait times for new orders and all the crazy market increases. No fun. Wishing you the best in your search!

Thank you for posting this! I have signed up submitting my name and email as well, and we’ll see if we make the cut! 😊

KeysConchs, We agree with you on length being a concern. We also traveled the entire east coast last summer from Gulf Shores to Maine and never had an issue with getting a site. I personally don’t see Oliver building any thing larger than the LE2 for a lot of reasons. There is still awaiting list to order and purchase LE2’s. Anything larger would be super expensive and possibly not sell as well as the existing model. Oliver has really got a great design in the LE2 and we are thrilled with ours. It’s everything we need and nothing we don’t. 👍🏻😊

Welcome and thank you both for your service to our great country. 🇺🇸🇺🇸 Congratulations on your Oliver order your delivery day will be here before you know it! Now is a great time to watch the Oliver videos read and learn as much as you can in Oliver University. Retirement and traveling and camping in our Ollie is a blessing for sure. -Patriot 🇺🇸 David & Kathy

Our “Ravel Trailer” collector cups 😂 sit fine and stable and were freebies and work great for coffee ☕️ or nectar of the Gods! 🍷

Looks exactly like ours. 😎

These are “collector special edition” cups! Those sharp fly tying eyes 👀 nice catch! 😅

We also like these insulated adult beverage containers! 😊

We use this larger Pro Breeze and it has served us well. We don’t use a drain hose as we store our Ollie here at home. We empty it about every 5-6 days it shuts off automatically when full. It’s very quiet with just a tiny bit of white noise. It’s also stores and travels easily in the closet.

I still don’t see them either. I see Seadawg’s copied image as well. Thanks for posting connor77 and Kirk Petersen as my wifi strength here at the CG is pretty strong right now. Interesting.

Wow…that’s weird.., it could be my wifi here at this CG…thank you for letting me know as I I wish I was seeing Bill’s great pics! 😟

Bill, None of your photos are posting. -Patriot🇺🇸

Mike, Great point, we use the half griddle as well. The full griddle is a no go as it reduces the heat in our experience. Bacon is usually micro waved and omelets are done in a nice skillet stove top! 😊 Breakfast is always hardy!

Ollie still in the wild - Love our trusty Weber Q1200. It will grill pretty much any of the meat, breakfast sausage, trout, or yard bird that we enjoy. Last night we enjoyed a little fire side “kickin chicken”. My bride enjoys chillin & grillin. 😊

Brian, I used the stock Oliver receiver and have had zero issues. We had the 1.25 insert removed by a local machine shop. Hope this helps! Patriot

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!
