  1. Steve, we plan to be there if things go well :)
  2. I installed mine a few hundred miles ago...seem to be doing fine. Thanks, Steve, for the O'Reilly tip :) John
  3. RV Trip Wizard is usually reliable with this kind of information. And usually you can go to the campground website or call them to verify, being that you are in the planning phase. Happy trails! John
  4. Maine and most of NH, according to my booking agent :) Dolly Copp National Forest (NH) does have some electric sites and water spigots are scattered throughout. John
  5. Congrats!!! We moved up from our Casita LD 2 1/2 years ago to our O2 and ours feels like a mansion in comparison. Wishing you many fun adventures! Wendy and John.
  6. Here's my 2 cents... I just replaced all shocks with the Monroe 555001s. I did so as a first step in trying to figure out the cause of sudden scalloping of both fronts tires. One of the tires was severe enough to warrant exchange with our new spare. As per Scuba Rx, one of the Monroe cushions indeed needed to be compressed to get 1 of the shocks to fit. I'm happy with ease of installation and time will tell if the shocks were the cause. Tires were removed to facilitate installation. Hull 996, picked up new in Jan 2022 and now with over 41,000 miles, has had its share of highway hard knocks, most of which surprisingly occurred on very infrequent use of interstates. The included photos show one of the shock "stems" bent and both front shock shafts were indeed sheared. The other 2 rear shocks were intact, though badly worn. Since both front shock shafts were sheared and only the front tires showed unusual wear I suppose they were the cause. The 2nd picture shows the shaft was stuck in and I pulled it out with pliers.

  7. Forgot to add the picture

  9. For sure, Melissa is top notch! We love staying with her :)
  10. Guess I'm doing something wrong here....usually I want to put the filter first but would like to know if I need to do it differently.
  11. Hi Claudia, So glad you solved the problem. Wendy and I met you at the rally in 2022 and you showed us the work you were doing on the window vents. I'm wondering if you patented that work and are producing it. I saw the cover in your Oliver picture. Best of luck on your travels, Wendy & John
  12. Mike...thanks! We just left Steve on Monday from the Maine rally. With Mossemi and Steve next door, and help from Kevin on my Xantrex, I came away with an unbelievable amount of info concerning all things Oliver :) Was the cable difficult to push back through to the valve?
  13. Mike, Do you just loosen the set screw and slowly pull the cable out through it's sheathing using the handle at the rear panel? Then clean/lube and reinsert? What lube did you use? Mine is pretty tough to operate. Thanks much, John
  14. Congratulations ya'll !!!!!!!!!! 40 for us this month John

  18. Hi Ken, Do you by chance have a part # for those Bulldogs? Is it 1213-0656 ? John
