At least a few have done it, with the original door. Please add your hull # and infinity to your signature.

I still get quick responses on help from Oliver on random questions on my 2008. The support is second to none. If you're talking mods, well, you've come to the right place. We have so many engineers and mod-oriented folks here, you'll find help and advice here, again, second to none. Some of us just can't help ourselves, when it comes to improving and personalizing our well-traveled and well-loved ollies. Welcome to the forum.

I'm looking forward to a test drive, sometime next year. We've loved our 2008 Dodge Ram. But, It's getting a bit long in the tooth, approaching 300k miles. The simplicity of the new hybrid design is indeed intriguing.

The unimaginable has once again, tragically, become a reality. A large number of those lost were children. I cannot imagine the grief of their surviving families. Here's how you can help, at least monetarily. Click on any one of the links. They all need your support. The needs are immediate, but I can tell you from experience, the needs will be long, for many organizations. If you feel you can afford it, click on a monthly donation. Or, just remember to contribute from time to time. My first is always Salvation Army. They were first on site, according to my mom, when our home was destroyed by a tornado when I was a few years old. And, they do so much good, in so many ways, in every community they serve. If you're still working, some generous companies do matching funds. Sometimes, for retirees, too. You can help, outside of Texas, by giving blood, as well. May God wrap his arms around the survivors, and give them solace, and peace.. Here's where you can donate to help Central Texas flood recovery - CBS Texas https://share.google/mLDD7AfFVtWQ5fajI

Amazon can also deliver to self-service, secure lockers at participating retail spaces. I see them at Kohls, Ross, grocery stores, gas stations, etc. Check availability when ordering , near your destination. With rampant porch pirating, and retailers wanting to increase foot traffic, it's a win win for everyone. Lockers at a gas station near me are accessible 24/7. Look for the option when you are choosing shipping address.

Among my many friends and acquaintances, I can count zero who actually enjoy caulking. My husband does a better job than i do, so he usually gets the job if we had to flip for it, I'd be seeking a coin with both sides head, and call tails. Yet another reason I like butyl, where applicable. We caulk around the edges to shield, but butyl does the job.

@Jim Harper, if you switch from auto to gas, does it just stop? May be a fuel line problem (air bubble?) Try burning off fuel by using the cooktop a bit, and see if the problem resolves. At least, that's what I did with our old 3 way, to troubleshoot.

So if you go to Fargo, circle back or stop on the Minnesota side of the river, and visit the Viking ship replica, and the replica stave church (built to look like the Hopperstad church in Norway.) Amazing projects, even if you are not of Scandinavian heritage, like me. The builder of the viking ship never got to launch it, but his kids actually sailed it to Norway. It's truly beautiful. https://www.hcscconline.org/

We've done a number of Alaska trips, never with the Ollie. Flew up 20 years ago and rented a small class c. Delivered several rentals from Indiana to Alaska over the years. It's a very long trip. Our favorite part of the trip had always been northern bc, and the Yukon. But, you can fly in and rent there, too. Not Ollie purists. We've rented campers on several continents, when expedient. Love my Ollie, but not shipping it to Europe, Australia, or Iceland. Rentals often make so much sense. Glad you had fun. May is a bit chiller, bit a great time to visit Alaska. Fewer bugs. Fewer tourists. Fewer fires. Good on you for great timing.

One of my brothers lives in Brainerd. Brainerd weather doesn't always look at the calendar. Lol. It SHOULD be in the 70s, but 40s or 50s can happen in June. At least it cuts down on mosquitoes.

Take heart, folks. My hull #12 didn't get its plate till a few years ago. About 14 years after pickup , in fact. Just in time to take the plaque to Antarctica. Couldn't take the trailer, obviously.

@jd1923, I used to live near Mason City, and family is from near your Minnesota destination. Did you camp near Thornton, at Ingebritsen? Just curious. Hope your dinner was great. We spent a lot of time at Clear Lake, back in the day. Those restaurants are long gone, however.

Happy days! And, congratulations to all of you lovebirds, on your special days!

Safety first. Very thoughtful!

If you decide to replace it, do yourself a huge favor and spend the extra few bucks for the maxx dome with the interior led light ring. But, could just be your caught a bit of debris in the fan blades. Check that, first. A small bit of debris can make a real racket. Congratulations on a great trip!
