Mike and Carol, Ordered. Thank you for the recommendation and solid feedback. David

Congratulations on your build date! March 12 build date here, and look forward to seeing you at the rally. David & Kathy

Just thinking about our Oliver family and our neighbors in middle Tennessee this morning after a tornado hit Nashville. Our thoughts and prayers are lifted for you. Stay Tennessee strong! David & Kathy Austin

John, Now that appears to be a neat little utility trailer and space saver to boot! Apogee will likely do well in the US market. I believe my 14’ Aluma was right around $3k after a bit of haggling as individual dealers set their own prices. This could likely be due to how many units ordered by a dealer and shipping costs from the Aluma plant to the dealer. -David

Hi John, I own a 2018 14’ Aluma utility trailer (UTR14) and have been very happy with it. I use it to haul my 1025R when I need to have it serviced or when hauling mulch for our blueberry grove. A very nice light weight utility trailer. It is kept garaged when not in use. I would not hesitate to purchase an Aluma trailer again. Trying to find a used Aluma can be challenging, I could not so I purchased new. -David

Here is the link which I ordered a few spare 30 amp SLO BLO fuses (BK-MDL-30) from in advance of taking delivery of our Ollie in May. Hope this helps. https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Bussmann-Eaton/BK-MDL-30?qs=LpXnx4WbYtBNkVBbf00eIQ==&fbclid=IwAR21oQIxbMZJ3zFCt7Vp9TtT3cM7PfbNEPGlLg-5bOPTLfnK4ZyT3SN-eP8 -David

CedarForks, It was nice speaking with you this evening. Per my phone call with you, I will purchase the cover. Thank you, David Austin

DJM, I was quoted $1060.00 shipped to my zip code by this company. Custom fit to the Oliver. Others may chime in with another brand. Topgun2 told me about Calmark covers. I will be ordering from them at some point. Naturally off season your order gets fulfilled quicker. Best to call and check with them. Hope this helps. https://calmarkcovers.com

Yes, excellent write up and repair John. Well done!

Nice work!

Welcome! We are new to OTT as well and continue to learn from forum members here. Our delivery is schedule for mid May. Look forward to seeing you at the rally! -David

Welcome! Exciting news for you! I can say this forum has been an immense help to us as I feel sure it will be to you. Lots of knowledge being passed forward here. Congrats on your build! David & Kathy

We purchased this Zamp 90 watt mobile suitcase and the 25’ extension for our previous camper and never used it. The controller is preset for AGM batteries. The carrying case is very well made for storage and travel. The waterproof controller is preset for AGM batteries from the factory. I do like that ZAMP is US made. 🇺🇸 -David

I cannot speak for other brand trucks, but have owned Toyota trucks since purchasing my first new one back in 1989. I have been brand loyal since do to reliability and overall cost to own. I have never experienced a catastrophic breakdown or been left sitting on the roadside. Recalls really have been minimal and once notified have been taken care of timely. I presently own a Tundra Platinum Crew Max that has been extremely reliable and would not hesitate to purchase another one. This is what works best for our needs as I have to have the reliability and tow package boxes checked. It will tow the OLEll we have on order with relative ease. As John Davies stated, you have plenty of time to do your due diligence and determine what will suit your needs best. Your in the drivers seat, “pun intended”, enjoy your time researching the TV that suits your needs best!

I managed to keep our two old XM Roady 2’s from our former long distance dual sport motorcycling days. I hope that someday we can get XM set up in the Ollie we now have on order. Look forward to seeing a few XM set ups when we attend the May rally. -Patriot

ThomB87, Great report and reminder. Having just placed our order for a 2020 OLEll, Oliver’s outstanding customer service weighed heavily in our decision. Thanks for posting your excellent service experience. David

Last week we finalized our OLEll order at Oliver. We live in Western NC, so a quick second trip back to Hohenwald made total sense for us. While there I stretched out on the Oliver twin bed again in one of the demos. I am 75 1/2” tall or 6’3 1/2. I don’t have any comfort concerns about sleeping on the 75” twin or 30” wide bed. Full on side sleeper here so all is well for me. You are wise to stretch out on a twin check and be sure. Comfort level is very subjective. What suits one certainly may not suit another. Good luck with your choice!

Great points David, That is exactly why we passed on the Lagun table. So we opted for the door to the basement. The side mount of the Lagun table is a better design.

I ordered our new 2178-B Provenlock last Wednesday afternoon and it arrived this morning. Fast shipping from FLA to NC and very well packaged. We upgraded to the optional stainless Steel puck and Medeco lock. I may just order another spare set of keys from Medeco it comes with (2).

Bill, As you know we were just at the Oliver sales office finalizing our order for our OLEll with Anita this past Wednesday, February 12. While there we had the pleasure of meeting Scott Oliver. Scott was kind enough to introduce himself and speak with Kathy and I for about a half hour about Oliver TT. Needless to say we were really impressed with Scott and all of his dedicated professional staff at Oliver. Talking with Scott and also meeting Rodney was unexpected and just very cool. No question in our mind, Scott Oliver truly stands behind producing a fine travel trailer. Kathy and I left Oliver knowing we will really be taken care of as Oliver “family”.

Quite capable indeed, and Honda whisper quiet and reliability to boot. We have owned Honda power products for years. They have served us very well. The 7000 in this photo with a gentent cover is our temp whole house back up gen. The Handi will run our new Oliver with ease.

Glad to hear that your attending carnivore, we look forward to meeting you. We’ll be camped at G10. David

She’s a beauty! A Big Congratulations! Wishing you both many happy memorable camping adventures! And hope to see you at the 2020 Owners Rally. David

Camping certainly does not come without its challenges. 👍🏻😊
