Hi, Mike and Sue, Mods can't change your name, but I will forward your request to @JWalmsley. Sorry for the inconvenience.

The California HP officer was unimpressed with this diy mobile install, on a Prius (hood!) https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/california-highway-patrol-tickets-driver-with-apparent-spacex-starlink-dish-bolted-to-car-hood/ar-AALI9V2

I like wood accents, too, like the beautiful ones Foy creates. I love the clean (and cleanable) white walls of our Ollie. And, I agree, everyone is different. That's why there are so many choices out there.

That's beautiful! Really warms up the interior. Foy is such a fine craftsman. We are, indeed, fortunate to have him on our team. Question: does the small dinette top attach to the sidewall of the Oliver the same way?

You might want to contact torjik. If this replaces the original q regulator, I would think you'd be fine. We don't have a q, but a number of other people here run them.

Happy and safe holiday to you, and everyone on the forum! We're back in the woods. The dog likes the quiet. So do I

Well, I'd say that's a good thing. Split over each bench, plus the bigger middle?

Moving a very heavy mattress to access the plumbing and jacks , etc, beneath the elite I bed would be a daunting task for me. And, I don't know where I'd put it. Hardrock had a custom mattress designed at Southern, split 1/3 , 2/3, so a portion could be lifted and moved over. Many boat mattresses are made this way, especially vberth. I thought it was a grand idea. I wonder if ktt would do the same?

Yes, that's her!

What it actually looks like inside, is just as you'd expect from the etchasketch exterior design. Its really light,for a fifth wheel. That's my best comment, and I'll shut up. Not for me. I think I'm allergic to all brown .... Like I've said many times, everyone has to choose what's best, for them.

There are some, like us, who would be just as happy with a clean slate to "mod" our way. Others have no interest in boondocking, so why waste money on solar? Others would never think about a trailer without at least solar. It's all ok, because everyone is different. And has different needs and wants. There was a super clean early Elite in Texas awhile back, no solar, not even a furnace.. If my husband and I hadn't been so busy with so many other projects going on, we might have made that a permanent guest house at our camping property. I seriously lobbied for it. Someone else got the trailer of their dreams, and that's awesome. I'm super happy for them. It's sometimes hard to step back from your own situation, and appreciate the other guy's spot. But, it's what life is. Even camping life. Edit to add: If you don’t have a fave hockey team, please cheer for my Lightning. Thank you.

I think most of our "old" Ollies are on the road, though few are active on the forum . Very few sold in 2007. My February, 2008 is still happily camping, as are we. I'm #12, original owner. Pete is #14, I think, 130,000 miles, also original owner. Brandi is second owner of #10, occasionally drops in here. Cutest, only red Ollie ever. #3 resold about a year ago. I have a couple friends with 2008/9 models in the 30s hull numbers. Original owners. We'll be camping with some of them this fall. Yup. Pretty sure, we still love our (older) Ollies. My husband and I have tweaked/experimented witha lot of things because of our own ideas. Others are pretty much original, or somewhere in between.

I would sew the hook/rough side to the cushions. The "made to be sewn" type has a thin edging that's easy to sew with just about any of my four machines. No adhesive. Put the softer/loop side on the fiberglass. Two advantages. No scratchy stuff on your hands when cushions aren't there. No abrasion on fabric if you don't catch all the "hooks" when you situate the cushions.

I have a friend who carries a small (100 watt, I think) flex panel, and a homemade pvc frame, adjustable. It's a neat solution for someone who uses very little power. Everything breaks down, and slides under the bed. We used SunPower flexible solar on our 600 watt (so far) installation on the boat's hardtop. Really nice, good production. Great reputation, and pretty affordable. As far as maintenance, a well-designed and well-installed solar system has a learning curve, and, after that, free clean power for decades . We mostly let the rain take care of cleaning, unless there are a lot of whirlys (spring) or leaves (fall) that the wind doesn't blow away. We have never, in six years, gone up on the roof to clean our home install. Rain does it all.

@AndrewK. That's awesome. And, I'm sure a comfortable ride, too.

Because those Oliver interiors look so great??? Somebody obviously pulled old file photos, and mixed them generously. Just like incorrectly modifying a cake recipe, it fell flat...

I just don't get it, either. 🤢

Yes, the floorllan looks very familiar.

I noted that Mossey mentioned "useable" amp hours. With wet cell batteries, it's recommended to not deplete your batteries by more than 50 per cent, so 280 ah useable. With my agms, I try to not deplete by more than 30 per cent, but I still know that I can deplete to 50 per cent and not damage the batteries.

You can open a ticket, and include photos. Click on home, then "service" (scroll way down) The eze gutter will help, but don't try to arch it too much, imo.. our two attempts have not been successful.

Welcome to the forum. There are a number of members who have made the change, and a number (including us) who looked at Airstream and decided on Oliver. Have you seen an Oliver II? It's all about seeing, touching, and imagining myself in the space, for me. Good luck in your decision. My only comment will be this-- our Oliver survived a major hailstorm storm , with no dings or dents. That day, I was extra glad for our decision.

No, not likely air. Possibly dirty gas, or regulator. Is the trailer plugged in at home? What is your battery voltage? (I keep asking, because this happened to me once in the early days )

And, check your battery voltage on the seelevel. The fridge will lockout at low battery level, on dc or propane.

@Donna and Scott, it usually works faster to open a service ticket on the home section of the website. If you have gas in the tank, but are getting none to the stove, try turning the valve to off. Then, after a bit, very slowly turn the valve to full open, and try again, first with the biggest supply, the stove. It can take a few seconds, but you should hear the gas in the stove. It's possible that you have a problem with the regulator, but more likely an air lock in the line. Did the fridge ever run on gas?

I don't think anyone there has noticed.... yet.
