  1. My Rock Stoppers have worked excellent on all gravel roads. In fact most if not all the CGs we visited last season had gravel roads and I can’t imagine towing without them. With the install of the 10 mil XPEL PPF I feel like I have done all I can do to keep the front of our Ollie looking decent. See a recent photo of our Ollie above.
  2. We have on demand hot water Rinnai at home, love it. We are very happy with the Truma and have never looked back. Super easy to winterize and easy to clean and very efficient. The new 2023 Olivers will have Truma furnaces, Truma AC, and the option for the Truma water heater. Just something to think about.
  3. I had zero issues during an amazing long Western NC to Maine and back trip even with the random diesel regen heat. So my answer is no exhaust heat issue on these flaps. They worked great and would absolutely purchase again. I ordered a set of the rock tamers, but returned them. I just prefer the custom clean look, solid fit and finish and simplicity of the install of “Rock Stoppers” instead. Plenty of clearance for exhaust heat.
  4. Great looking rig! Congratulations on your delivery day. -Patriot
  5. It appears you need to really wash your SUV and Ollie, are those red fuel jug fire bombs on the rear bumper?! 😳 Did you loose your rear spare tire cover? Wow! 😳
  6. That is one dirty rig. Are those those red fuel jug gas bombs on the rear bumper?! 😳 Spare tire cover? Love my Rock Stoppers!!
  7. I had the Livelymachine shop fabricate these “Rock Stoppers” for our F 350 and have been extremely pleased with the design and performance and most of all a clean Ollie. Constructed of powder coated aluminum tubing and all stainless fasteners these are high quality. They are also custom fit to the F Super Duty trucks for a clean install on the side openings of rear hitch and can be easily removed if not towing. The aluminum face plate In front of the rubber flap deflects debris and stones as and also facilitates rubber flap anit sail. I have zero sailing issues with this product. If anyone is interested or you have questions about pricing contact Lively machine @Livelymachine.com. After a recent camping trip - a clean front and XPEL 10 mil PPF did its job a long with Rock Stoppers performed great.
  8. Here is a thread where I talked about 10 mil PPF or paint protection film I had professionally installed.
  9. Better watch out for the electric bicycle police…they will come get you and your little dog too!! 😂😂
  10. This may help. I purchased these and they fit our 2020 Ollie perfectly. You will have the same Cooper tires unless Oliver changes out the vendor. As long as your 5th wheel tires are 29-30” diameter you should be good to go. These have lasted well so far through two mild winters. Just a little faded from weather.
  11. We spent a few days at the 2022 Oliver Rally at Lake Guntersville SP. LGSP has an impressive 69,000 acre lake which looked pretty inviting with the hot temperatures. We will consider visiting this park again in cooler times of the year. It was really fun meeting many of the owners on this forum and just seeing so many “Ollies in the Wild.” There is nothing like being back in the high much cooler elevations of the NC Smoky Mountain Expressway.
  12. Congrats and safe travels!
  13. Depends on use, we changed our filter twice last year as we stayed at over 22 CGs. We don’t drink water from our fresh water tank but do use it for showers. We carry 1 gallon jugs for our drinking water. Hope this helps.
  14. We have just the solution for deer and it’s the best homemade chili we have ever enjoyed. Blessed with an amazing season last year with a total of (5) in the deep freeze. That is our deer 🦌 story and we are sticking to it. 😄
  15. I had just about the same experience with Oliver Service as our radio not not playing CD’s. Fortunately it still did eject the CD. Contacted Oliver as we were still under our 1 barely under our year warranty. Jason sent out a new old stock radio which I installed. I sent the old one back pre paid shipping and the new one works as it should. Out of warranty it would have been spendy to replace. The quality of the Furion radio is ok, I think a higher quality radio for what one pays for an Oliver should come standard.
  16. That is correct always bypass the Truma when winterizing. I also bypass the Truma when I sanitize my fresh water tank and plumbing system.
  17. Indeed, thanks! The trout fishing was ok too!
  18. Ollie in the wild!! Enjoying several days of Blue Ridge Mountain camping fun and a little trout fishing on the Toe River. We really enjoy like Mountain River Family CG and one of the nicest in the the Blue Ridge, so we are back again. A little fire side fresh venison chili from last falls hunt was perfect for last nights dinner at 51 degrees. We give this CG ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🤩. The owners are awesome folks who camp and know what campers enjoy. Happy Camping!
  19. An interesting photo is that wild white rose? 😊
  20. David Peters, Here is an option, not cheap and I am not so sure how well it would work on gravel. https://parkit360.ca/collections/trailer-dollies?utm_campaign=**LP+-+NonTM+-+General+-+US&utm_term=trailer mover&utm_source=adwords&utm_medium=ppc&hsa_kw=trailer mover&hsa_acc=4630284090&hsa_mt=p&hsa_grp=125520177799&hsa_tgt=kwd-389207204846&hsa_src=g&hsa_cam=14379722857&hsa_net=adwords&hsa_ad=540856145407&hsa_ver=3&gclid=CjwKCAjwjtOTBhAvEiwASG4bCGqQikNdOUByI8n0loaLWdphea4wj9ANsf40nwbEvNErO0qc8Ej7qRoC2z8QAvD_BwE
  21. Steve, When you said threading a needle this comes to my mind….or me actually trying to tie a fishing knot.
  22. Mark, I run a Weber Q1200 grill and when needed an LP campfire ring. It beats looking at the ground. 😄Both of those required me to remove the factory regulators and just install quick connects. I simply attach my LP hose to the Oliver quick connect and use the grill or the campfire ring. I also have a Honda eu3000is which I converted to LP using the HutchMountain.com conversion kit. This conversion requires a separate regulator to an independent LP tank so that I can push a button on the regulator and start or prime the LP into the carb. I really like the Hutch Mountain tri conversion and carrying zero gasoline and it burns cleaner. The gen will use three different fuel sources - LP, LNG, or gasoline. I have not tried running the Honda off the Ollie yet as it is newly converted. I hope this helps. Others may chime in with further knowledge. David
  23. Thanks Bill, Just finished the downloads! 👍🏻
  24. Beautiful photos and just love the title “enough tech talk - go camping”. 👍🏻😎 Thank you for sharing as we are reeeally looking forward to mid western travels.
