Just spoke with Mike Sharp at Oliver Service and he confirmed Oliver is planning to retro fit the new Truma AC into the existing owners Oliver’s. The Oliver LE2 with the new Truma AC at the rally was in fact a 2020 model. So we’ll consider having our Dometic Penguin swapped out for the new Truma. Mike said the retro fits could possibly begin in March of next year. Something we may consider as the Truma is a quieter unit for sure after listening to it while at the rally while inside the demo.

In our observation the new 2023 freezer is really small maybe 1/4 the size our Norcold freezer and that’s being generous at best. The refrigerator compartment is two thirds the size of the Norcold. My bride even pointed the smaller size as she does an amazing job packing our cold items for extended trips. We thought we could maybe get one large bag of frozen blueberries in there. 🫐😅 We are very happy with our Norcold so far especially it’s size.

Agreed Mike, we were both pretty shocked at how tiny the freezer space was when we saw it at the rally. We did like the new Truma AC and learned it will be a while before Oliver does a retrofit IF they decide to do them at all.

PapaBiker, We used our Calmark cover last winter and kept our Ollie plugged into 30 amp shore power here at our home from Oct to April and our solar panels were covered. We did not experience any issues with our AGM batteries. When not in use our Ollie always stays plugged into shore power. - Patriot

Bill, I have a Dometic awning as well on our 2020 (manual type) would you mind sharing the part number? My cap is slightly loose and I may order another to replace it. Thanks, Patriot

This has been discussed a lot on here and this info may help you with your decision. I inquired with Oliver Service prior to this modification. I was told by the person I spoke at Oliver that Oliver has not had any reports of the bike racks failing with this configuration failing as long as you are under the 150# weight limit which we are. I had two independent aluminum engineers look at this mod and both agreed it was safe as long as you do not exceed the weight limit. Olivers concern is an owner overloading the receiver hence the smaller stock receiver. Just know that Oliver does not endorse the 2” receiver modification on their bike racks. That said, there are quite a few owners that have their bicycle racks configured this way with thousands of miles on their Oliver with bikes attached. We have not had any issues to date. See attached thread -

Congrats on your decision to order and Oliver! Your delivery date will be here before you know it! If you get a chance try and get a factory tour scheduled before your delivery date. It’s a pretty amazing tour and really give you insight on how these unique travel trailers are built. Welcome to the Oliver family. -Patriot

I insert the lid into the hatch housing turn it and it clicks and it’s secured. Not sure if you call that a hinged? I really like the ease of use vs the threading version.

$13 for for the newer hatch that Oliver Service sold me. I prefer it over the threaded hatch.

While we were having our Ollie serviced this past June a salesman in the Oliver showroom mentioned to my wife and I that a new 2023 OLEll fully optioned is $107,000. Wowza!! It sure made us glad we purchased our 2020 when we did. -Patriot🇺🇸

I believe they will be getting the new Truma combo AC, Frig, and Furnace if it’s a 2023. This is what we saw in a demo Ollie at this past summers Oliver Rally.

Congratulations on your Oliver and welcome. Always lots to learn, the more you learn the better it gets! - Patriot

Happy 4th of July and our American flag flies high!! We admire and have a deep utmost respect for ALL those that served and fought and have sacrificed and guarded this country in its history to keep it free. 🇺🇸 “Freedom is not Free” -Patriot

Beautiful work Foy. Thank you for posting your catalog. - Patriot

A very impressive custom detailed install. I too look forward to your future posts on how this works out in your travels. Thanks for posting. -Patriot

Agreed, why not simply call the Service Center or email them. Jason or Mike will surely give you an accurate quote. It won’t be cheap, but it will surely be done right. I have had nothing less than excellent support from Oliver Service.

That was good!! You, and we live to far south in Western NC.😅
