  1. Time2Go, we got the cushions, thinking that if they didn't work for us we would get Southern Mattress mattresses later (since we live near where they are made.) So far we are fine with the cushions (plus a foam topper for my husband).  It seems to me that if you are going to buy SM mattresses, it could be beneficial to go ahead and get all the cushions that Oliver includes in the base price.  Even if you throw away or give away the foam (and foam is actually quite expensive in a 4" width), you will have extra of the fabric that can be used if you ever have a rip in one of your dinette seats.  Or you could use the fabric to make some bolster cushions.  When we made our order, I actually got in touch with the man who does the upholstery for Oliver and requested that any scrap fabric from when my cushions were cut out be saved for me, since I am a seamstress and figured I might someday want that additional matching fabric.

  2. Hi John, my Etsy shop is mostly sewn photography props and vintage items. (www.etsy.com/shop/littlelassies)  But I could add a listing for the Ollie tablecloth. I could also take payment via Paypal email.   I would estimate the price to be Cost of materials + $12 + Shipping.  Please send a private message with info about the colors you like and whether you want solid/patterned/etc.  If it's fabric that I already have on hand it will be cheaper since I'm trying to downsize my fabric stash, but I can purchase whatever you want.  Thanks!

  3. To the couple who we met in front of our home in Fuquay-Varina a few weeks ago that are getting their Ollie in a few months:  we did not receive your email.  If you have questions, please make contact on this forum with a private message.  Thank you!  Nancy and Ray

  4. We have the Elite II but just wanted to say that I am so glad we did not get the full mattresses.  I am perfectly comfortable with the provided cushions, and my husband added a foam topper.  It's so nice to be able to easily lift up the cushions or even put them in the aisle to check on things underneath.  The hypervent is a definite plus.  We live in the humid SE and just returned from a trip.  We kept a constant eye on the humidity using a sensor.  One day had condensation on the windows,  but we kept things under control with a dehumidifier , cracking windows, and running the fan to pull air out whenever we did any cooking.

  5. I think that the time and effort involved in moving sites would not be worth it.  Our first night we barely had time to unhook and start moving all our gear into our new Ollie before the sun set.  Summer would be different of course.  The Oliver company will get you into a good spot and you can likely just stay at that site and save yourself a lot of hassle.  For me, a good site is not on the edge of a sharp curve and is long enough to keep your tow vehicle in front of the trailer.

  6. Just tell the Oliver office that you want to stay an extra day.  They will put you in a site that's straight and easy to get into.  Our site got changed at the last minute because of a water issue at the park.  We ended up at the end of a narrow curve, I think it was site 87, would not recommend it!

    So is yours a 2020?  I looks like you have the Black Dakota fiber granite which isn't an option for 2021.  Our #699 will have the Midnight Decor with Mont Blanc counters which was my choice before the ala carte decor choices were eliminated.

    40 days and counting!

    Susan, yes it's a 2020.  The color of the counters was called Samba.

  8. I'm not sure about the length of the PDI since we haven't picked ours up yet, but some things to consider:  

    Are you likely to also encounter the same storms on the road Wednesday?

    5 hours in a car will be longer with the trailer.

    Will you be getting near Atlanta during rush hour?  

    Hope all works out well for you!
