We used a washable, but heavy, runner the first few years. I still have it, and use it occasionally in the winter as a second layer. My most favorite, but kind of ugly rugs, are the ones I'm using now. They're carpet with a heavy foam back that I bought at a discount store. Low nap. Sweep or vacuum easily, inside the trailer, or out. Did I mention that they're rather ugly? I'll take that for the ease of use, especially in the fall, when everything gets tracked in-- mud , leaves, detritus.

Looks like it works. Most of us never need it, but nice to know you (probably) have the bits with you, or readily available.

The collar lock can be used while hitched or camped. That's why many of us have it.

In our 2008, side to side is about 23. Flooring is 18". 72" from end of bed to bath door.

That looks great, and I'm sure it works great, too!

Looks very pretty.

Thanks, @LongStride. I don't know if I'll ever need the snow capability, with my Silverado, as it rarely leaves Florida anymore, but it's nice to have it, just in case.

Some use a runner, others, like us, use a couple throw rugs, because it's easier/light to roll them up and shake or sweep them out, and wash them. I can measure mine for you, but it's 2008, and flooring may not be quite the same. For example, we don't have flooring under the small dinette. Newer Elites do. Either way, highly recommend a rug of some sort, especially in cold weather.

Try here: Not a cat person, but hope it helps. Are your cats harness and leash trained?

Yes, yours are plugs. I have nothing like that on mine. I could see making some sort of foam plugs, from a length of pipe insulation, if you just want to plug the holes.

So, is redline cv-2 comparable to phil woods? I'm confused

JeD, even 200 ah lithium, would probably work for us. You know, we just have 2 x 105 ah agm, so... I really don't know where I picked up "sticky wicket." Though, I've worked with a number of Brits, over the years. I like the phrase, though. 😄

This may be practical for folks with larger lithium battery banks, or those who typically camp with hookups. We love our dc compressor fridge, but it alone uses 60 to 70 amp hours each day, in moderate temperatures. That's a lot of the useable capacity, in my elite. I'm ok with it, as we use power for little else than fridge, occasional fan, and a few hours of lights, but not everyone would be. Stickier wicket if you dry camp in the cold, as the furnace fan takes a lot if power .

What's the distance between the prongs that hold the covers in the slot? Mine are .75 inch, inside to inside. They're not really "plugs," but instead little tiny visors.

Sorry for the detour, but love the memories .

I do, too. I wish they were made the same as the old days . My brother's in-laws own two vintage airstrams. Yes, they are often a lot of work (which often falls on my brother as poppy will be 90 soon), but they are very pretty. Someday, after we're gone, vintage Oliver will be as collectible. Imo. With less work, I suspect.

I'll double down on that. And, vice versa,, certain memories bring back smells. My grandmother's kitchen always smelled of cashmere bouquet handsoap, pungent geraniums in the windowsill, and vegetable soup. I can see and smell her kitchen, to this day .

That would be a great upgrade, imo.

Welcome from hull #12. We've been "part timers" since 2008 in NC. We have a camping property in the mountains, to escape the Florida heat, and base to jump off to Northern points beyond. We love North Carolina. And, the people. We've always felt welcome. Enjoy your new Ollie. Hope you have as much fun as we've had, for the last 14 seasons with ours.

I've seen recirc systems that could possibly work. I'll have to see if I can find a link. Not sure where another water heater might fit in the bath, but it's a good idea.

We hate camping in Florida in August, and it's not nearly as hot as Texas. That said, ac is a wonderful thing. Thank you, Mr Carrier.

We've used independents, and camping world spots. Never have felt like a stepchild. With some appliance vendors, the dealerships have to wait for parts, and/or parts approval. It's ok. I get that. We have had a bunch of people enthralled by our Oliver, at repair sites. They all find it hard to believe that it's a 2008. Takes a little time to give tours....

We just saw a pretty Legacy II eastbound on i40, at mile marker 49 , Asheville NC. Blue stripes and oliver emblem.. Two bikes on the back. Grey tv. Hi from Seadawg. We weren't towing, so you probably didn't notice us. Just in our way to W Asheville Lowe's.
