Best place to be, the sound of silence in the woods is perfect. 👍🏻

We topped off the car with unleaded and topped off the Tremor with diesel. All is well for now.

Most if not all of the fuel stations in our area are completely out including diesel. Bags are on pumps everywhere. We saw one tanker this morning as we had a few errands to run. Topgun2, I agree it may take a few weeks before we see fuel in our area with all these stations out. An upside world we live in.🙃

The spare medeco key I believe was $14 shipped and it took several days as they actually have to cut another the key.

I guess we’ll just stay home and camp on Blueberry Hill be grateful and let the world go right on by. Life is good!

Such vulnerable times we live…in more news - https://www.bbc.com/news/business-57050690 Atlanta is now running out of fuel due to panic buying. 🙄

Carl, I called Proven industries and told them about my application on the Oliver and they said the chains do not fit inside the lock. I don’t think anything has changed, but given the price of the lock maybe give them a call for further details. They were great to deal with. If you get the Medeco cylinder I highly recommend a spare key.

We canceled both Vogel SP in Ga and LGSP. We look forward to visiting both parks another time. Both parks were very understanding about the fuel shortage and provided full refunds. Be Safe, - Patriot

Many thanks Bill! Always open to learning! Thank you, David

Just finished greasing all (16) zerks on the EZ flex. And recorded the mileage 3472 on our maintenance spread sheet. A special thanks to rideandfly for a few very valuable pointers! Thank you Bill! - David

I guess it depends on how bad a thief wants your Oliver TT. If a thief wants your rig bad enough I suppose there is nothing short of removing the wheels off a camper to prevent theft. We use the Proven lock as a very good deterrent and also proof to our insurance carrier we have done everything we can to prevent theft. We have the upgraded stainless steel puck lock and Medco key cylinder. (Don’t loose the key in big letters in instructions). I can’t imagine trying to remove the Proven lock if a key went missing. In my opinion it’s the best deterrent made for a coupler lock. It fits loosely for a reason to make it very difficult to drill or cut into. Having spent a really long career in Law Enforcement I never investigated or read a report on camper theft. Not to imply it does not happen, but it seems pretty rare. I know I have never read about an Ollie being stolen. We do the best we can to secure your rig and have excellent insurance coverage and choose CGs wisely.

Hi Scott, Congrats on your order and welcome to the forum. Between now and delivery day you have lots of time to check out and read up on your Ollie at Oliver University and view the great videos Oliver provides. - Patriot

Bill, I have the proven lock and you are correct, the safety chains do not “go” or fit inside the lock. - Patriot

A great visit with the folks at Oliver Travel Trailer Service Center. A few minor warranty issues addressed after our 17 day trip. Special thanks to Jason, Mike and Chris for there expertise and professional assistance. We really appreciate all you do. It sure was nice to get a good visit in with Anita Johnston who was our sales rep! Thank you all for what you do! We stayed at David Crockett CG #2 which was just great. Hope to see everyone at Lake Guntersvile next week! Safe Travels and Happy Camping!

Care to post a link to the 90 degree tip on Amazon? Thank you in advance!

Yes, it works great. I use the quick connects and have had zero issues with it, and I enjoy grilling! I use a half griddle for sour dough blueberry pancakes. I have read that a full griddle will not heat up properly.

We used our Q120O on our most recent 17 day trip to Gulf Shores…it’s a great little grill and I find cleans up easily with foil laid in it. It has served us very well.

Three new concrete pads, two gravel pads. The wine is muscadine....well it’s ok.

We are staying at a great little RV resort in Gulf Shores Alabama called Bay Breeze. The staff Is friendly and it’s very neat, clean and well run. The local fresh seafood is excellent! Time to go explore Fort Morgan. We were originally headed to Fort Pickens and discovered it was closed due to flooding of the main road leading to the park. Naturally. We did well landing our Ollie here. Adventures Onward!

Ollie in the vineyard - We stayed last night at Hodges Vineyard near Camp Hill Alabama last night. Our first Harvest Host Experience and it was really great. Free samples at the wine bar great cheese straws and full hook ups. We already booked again for an over nighter on our return trip from Pensacola Beach. Very kind staff and a quiet place to relax. Happy Travels!
