Thanks. This does make me feel better. We haven’t yet been able to take it on a trip and won’t for a few months but just want to be sure all is working as it should. Also curious about the draw from your coffee maker... is it a regular drip unit? We are interested in a small toaster oven that would fit in the storage area since we don’t have the microwave. Anybody else do this?

Thanks for your reply. Yep. I have the 6 brightway AGM batteries that came with the solar package from Oliver

Hello, I recently purchased EII hull 627 as second owner. With winter here in Colorado, it’s been sitting in my driveway without use with solar panels in full sun with nothing that would draw power. The control panel never shows a full charge. It always shows the 75% charge as in the attached photo. Is there a problem with the system? Also, there is a slight electrical “buzz” sound coming from the Zamp solar control panel that I can hear. Is that normal? Thanks for any help with a newby question!

@Ray and Susan Huff I hear you. Our kids are in 4 different states now and no grandkids yet. We moved to Colorado in the summer of 2019 from Vancouver, WA. I used to travel most all of Oregon on business. Guessing you probably live in Medford or Grants Pass. I used to fly fish on the Rogue River. We enjoyed the PNW and it will always have a place in our hearts but we do love Colorado so far. It’s not inexpensive and it seems crowded sometimes but the weather is truly great with tons of sunshine. There is so much to do if you love outdoor adventure. We were lucky to find hull 627 for sale here in CO and we are looking forward to exploring!

@MandD Thanks. Just curious - where in CO do you live?

@Mountainman198 Hello. Appreciate that you decided not to buy #627 😊! We live in Parker. After living 27 years in Washington State raising our family, we moved here in 2019 for a new job opportunity and a new chapter -- in the sunshine of Colorado. Where do you live? Have you placed your order for a new Oliver yet?

Hello, We are Dan and Theresa from Colorado. Yesterday we brought home our new 2020 Elite II as second owners. (Hull #627). After a couple decades of camping with pop-up tent trailers, we have moved up...way up! We first learned of Oliver just a few months ago as we started researching travel trailers and finding that we were dissapointed with the quality of pretty much everything we saw. I started reading through the forums several weeks ago as we were considering this purchase. There seems to be so much great information shared and a sense of family. I'm sure I will have questions as I get some experience and start to ready the trailer for a trip and would sure appreciate the wisdom of this group! The weight and size of the Oliver meant we needed to upgrade our tow vehicle as well. So --- we pulled the Ollie home with our brand new Silverado 1500 I6 Duramax and it was fantastic. We are a little (Ha ha) lighter in the wallet now but excited for upcoming adventures as recent "empty nesters." Already have reservations at Great Sand Dunes NP in Spring, Rocky Mountain NP in June and Mount Rusmore/Custer SP in Fall. Looking to add more in-between. Again, appreciate all the great info shared here! Dan & Theresa 2020 Oliver Elite II, Hull 627, 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 3.0L I6 Duramax
