I like the idea of the EZ gutters but concerned about loosing access to be able to recaulk the top of the windows. Comments please.

John - Unbelieveable picture with the June bugs. Where is that located and remind me not to go there at that time.

topgun2: What is that wye bracket coming out of the storage bin. It must be something other than to hang your trash bags on.

I am just strating to research upgrading from AGM's to Lithiums batteries and have been following the various forum posts the last few months. Question: Is it necessary when making the LItuium upgrade, to install a new DC to DC charger if you are not depending on the TV to be charging the lithiums while traveling?

I also used both Meguirs products on my newly purchased used Olliver this spirng. I found that the 67 One Step Comppound took off the water spot markings easier than 2 other non-Meguiars products I tried. I used the Meguiar's Cleaner Wax this spring after the 67. This fall I used the Meguiars Flagship Premium Marine Wax. The Premium Marine Wax was a lot easier to apply than the Cleaner Wax and appeared to leave a far superior finish than the Cleaner Wax. Having owned a few boats in the past, these Meguiars products are a lot better than any of the other waxes I used in the past.

I just replaced mine with black. I ordered 18 feet (as recommended in a past post) which was enought to do the 3 large windows and the bathroom window, with a little left over, but not enough to also do the back window which already had a black gasket. If you want to do all the windows including the back window, I think you should order around 21 feet. You should take your own measurements to confirm the length though. The black looks really good, a lot better than the white.

Spike - I started this spring using the Tire Tracker brand TPMS system. I ordered 2 extra sensors for the spare tire on the Ollie and the spare tire on my TV. The system works great and I have not needed to use the reapeater which came with the system. You can order extra sensors for your TV as well as the Ollie and the display system will show all of them.

Has anyone installed the BMPro LP Tank Smartsense sensor and how has it worked out for you? Any recommendations on alternate measurement devices? Thanks Richard

Generally I have either been at CG sites that have good cell service or no cell phone service at all. The one time I tired the booster was at a CG site that had 3 bars of strength and the booster did not help in that case. As far as the lagun table, I store my in the closet against the interior wall of the Ollie closet. I put in some strips of velcro tape to hold in it place and put the bracket on the top shelf. This way they take very little space and are easy to retrieve and replace.

Steph and Dud B: Thule has a wheel supported bike rack that can be ordered for either a 2" or 1-1/4" receiver.

I like to look at the bright side of things (Glass being half full) You now have the time to plan or make Ollie upgrades. Alternately start planning on where to camp next year. I want to do a couple of tours to different parts of the USA next year so I have a lot of research and planning to do. Maybe one of the trips will be going to Nova Scotia and PEI, which I went to when I was a kid camping with my parents (the good old days when you did not worry about anything).

I went on line and bought my hypervent directly from a retail establishment instead of going to Oliver. Although a little expensive, well worth the investimate to protect my very expensive KTT mattresses. My experience with the hypervent has only been this spring, summer and early fall. Summer in New England was very humid this summer. I also crack open the two ceiling vents at night when the Ollie is occupied and the heat is running. Happy to say I have not had any moisture problems, other than one morning when a little moisture formed on the windows one cold night (but no dripping) when I forgot to open the main cabin vent but the bathroom vent was open and bathroom door was left open. That was my lesson learned moment and I made sure the main vent was open each night after that.

Granted but size is not the best measure of reliability and performance. (Wish I was ex-military so I could get into those CG's.)

This is a access covers so you could switch valves thorugh the access hole instead of lefting the mattress and access hatch. There are other access covers around the Ollie to allow someone to get to wiring.

Yes, I do the reverse when disconnecting. (By the way, I used to have a couple of Coleman pop-up trailers over the years. I really loved them but got sick of cranking up the roof and having all that canvass to dry out. Love my Ollie, as we can go camping and do not need to depend on CG facilities during the COVID times.)

Thanks Bob and Mike. Since we will be at the CG for 2 months, full hooks ups are desired. I think the wife wants to stay closer to Albuquerque as she will be going to the Son's home daily. What do you all think about the CG's close to ABQ? Also are these CG's safe?

We are traveling from Maine to Albuquerque with Ollie next December to visit the grandkids. Any suggestions on a nice campground around Albuquerque would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

That a lot of food on the grill. How many people are you feeding?

I bought a 2018 Elite II, which was used very little. I did purchase new mattresses (the old ones had a little bit of mold on them so I trashed them) and picked them up before our first trip this spring. My wife is very much effected by smells and she has not have any issues with smells this year. In the spring you can flush out the RV antifreeze and disinfect the water system which will take away any of those type of odors. I would recommend that you purchase the under mattress (or under cushion) hypervent matting. It allows air on the underside of mattress so they do not get moist and allow mold to form. Also use a dehumidifier in the Oliver during humid times to keep any humidity low so mold does not grow on any cloth used for the mattresses or cushions is a prudent item to purchase. I use the dehumidifier all summer even when parked in our driveway. It keeps thing fresh. I think with a little bit of prevention you should be ok.

We have both the Furrino TV and Furrino radio. Not sure if the TV is a smart TV or just a standard TV. We get radio reception ok in the Ollie, similiar to the reception in the RAM truck. As far as TV reception, we have to turn on the booster switch that is in the attic (and get the TV to scan forchannels) in order to get any TV reception. We usually watch DVD's movies and have a Amazon Firestick but of course need internet services to be able to use the firestick.

Ralph A: Check out the Oliver Classified section. If you see one you want, move fast as the Ollie's sell in that section fast. In the Oliver Classified section there is a used 2015 Elite Ii for sale now and someone is selling their 2022 slot for a new unit. Good Luck

I see that some owners use a cover on the Electric Tongue Jack. For my first winter owning the 2018 Elite II, I did not cover my jack. I do not think the previous owner did, as he would have given it to me. Do you Ollie owners recommend a Tongue Jack cover and why? Does the cover promote moisture forming on the inside of the cover? Is see a number of manufactures of jack covers when I googled it. Is one better than the other?

A friend of mine has a 2018 Oliver Elite II with the Xantrex 2000. His Xantrex fan comes on very often at might when he is plugged into electricity (even though the batteries are charged) and the noize bothers him. At night he turns off the power breaker to the Xantrex so he does not hear the noise.

Whisky! Interesting idea but I think I will use bottle water instead if I mix the whisky at all.

I pull my Elite II with a RAM 1500 with no problem. A very easy pull. On the straight away it is almost like it is not there. Get the kids a tent and they can set up in your site if big enough.
