That is a beautiful show room! The floor shine reflection is impressive, Wow factor!!

hobo, We use a combination of a small plastic folding table we purchased at Walmart and a picnic table when available unless we are boondocking. Naturally this does not bridge the rear bumper. I usually set up our Weber Q1200 on this table. It is a little over knee high with the legs fully extended and holds our grill at just about the right height to cook on. The table is light weight and folds in half and has telescopic legs. Nothing super fancy, but it really has worked out well. I feel sure others will have suggestions on what works for them. Hope this helps.

This option only cost me a firearm cable lock and 5 minutes to drill (2) holes. I agree $84 is a lot for the TorkLift tank lock. Just a thought.

Decided to install the BuiltRight mounting bracket on our F250 dash today so we could mount our 890RV gps. We decided to go with a little different approach on mounting location after mocking up a few different locations. We settled on dead center. Surprisingly there is no line of sight hinderance for me in this location due to the cab height. The screen is very accessible and we are really happy with the location. After a drive around our neighborhood and secondary roads I can report a solid mount and no screen bounce. Still have room for the Ollie rear view cam on the w/s. vid- A few photos....

Dickey Betts really does a fine job in this acoustic version.

Perfect idea, I will zip tie a few rubber snakes onto the tanks inside the dog house for added effect..😂

AT $84 for the above lock I opted to go this route. Well it took a few minutes to drill a pilot hole and then again a little larger to accommodate the cable lock. (I happen to have few firearm cable locks handy😎). Will it prevent a random snatch and grab hopefully and possibly. Will it stop a determined thief?...absolutely not. But this is what I am rolling with. And the price was right. 😄

Good points....it is pricey. If you find a SS version let us know. An Oliver owner on the Ollie FB page recently had his tanks stolen. I think the cable lock may be enough deterrent for a snatch and grab thief. 👍🏻 Thanks!

I am considering this mod to help add a little more security to our propane tanks on our Ollie. The TorkLift lock has been around for awhile. Is anyone using anything different or more robust? Recently I have read on other RV/camping forums that there is a little up tick in propane tank theft grrr! It seems like a decent cable lock would slow a thief down or maybe force them to move onto a less time consuming or easier target. This lock appears like another possibility. I need to check our Ollies tank mount thread size 3/8 or 1/2”? Thoughts, suggestions welcome and appreciated. here - https://www.etrailer.com/RV-Locks/TorkLift/TLA7702.html A vid review- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WrJs_fq9yQg

WandR, So glad to hear this worked out for you. John Halter the owner of Zarcor was a pleasure to do business with and I highly recommend his company. He really made things seamless for us when we ordered. Maybe Oliver will offer this as option or better yet a standard feature. We would have gladly selected it. @Topgun2 as mentioned was instrumental in our pursuit of this very useful mod, so to his credit. 👍🏻 Happy Camping!

Our Ollie at our home on Blueberry Hill -

@Ray Kimsey @rideandfly @topgun2 Just a follow up to this post. I took our Oliver to discount tire yesterday and was disappointed to learn that none of the tires including the spare were balanced. I had all of the rubber valve stems replaced with higher quality short steel stems. I decided to purchased the certificates for all (5) tires to repair/replace if they cannot fix the tire. This also includes lifetime balance and rotation. (receipt) The techs did a great job and hand torqued all lugs to specs. While having the work done I was speaking with a friend who owns a 2019 OLEll and ALL of his wheels were balanced by Oliver’s tire manufacture. He visually checked for me. Not sure why our all (5) of our tires were not balanced? They are now. Anything worth doing is worth doing right.

Connor77 - thanks fo the info on the different fabric now used by Calmark, I did not know this. I had a similar quote on the Calmark for $1200 shipped to our door last year. They kindly took my call, but at the time they were closed down due to the pandemic. I ended up finding a used 2019 Calmark for a reasonable price right here on the forum. When I received it, I washed it with as it hung off our deck and then naturally let it dry. They are nice covers, but heavy for sure. With the relatively short winters here we did not use it on our Ollie this season. I am planning to hang onto it. - Patriot

I agree with waxing. Not to derail this post, but where can I purchase the 3m ultra marine wax? I have had no luck with my web search thus far. Thank you!

Here are a few floor dimensions and I believe they are still the same. I don’t have an answer to #3. This should give you a start.

Fargoman, Glad you were able to locate a vendor for the Ram fuel cap and Def cap. I did not inquire about the availability of Ram caps when I placed my order. I did ask about a def cap for my F250 and was told it may go into production at some point. I feel sure they are a small factory. I was glad to purchase an American made product. As mentioned I am impressed with the fit and finish and quality for a machine piece. I think it will be worth your wait. 👍🏻 -Patriot
