Steve and MA

The Summit sourced lug nuts are chrome plated steel, not stainless steel. The OEM Lionshead Jaguar wheels on our 2022 LE2 have steel lug nut inserts. The contact between lug nut and wheel is steel against the lug nut, not lug nut directly against the aluminum. There are stainless steel lug nuts available, but none that are bulge acorn. Show me if you know otherwise. Bulge acorn vs. acorn is irrelevant due to the steel lug inserts on the Lionshead wheels. From what I can see, the contact between the insert and lug is the same whether the acorn nut is the bulge style or not. I don't know if the aluminum wheels on other year models had steel lug inserts. If not, then use the bulge acorn style. If you want to use stainless steel acorn (non -bulge) lug nuts, then keep in mind there's a risk of galling, which effectively welds the lug nut to the stud. Avoid use of impact tools to remove/replace the lug nuts to mitigate this risk. Steve

Our rear streetside jack stopped working during a trip a couple of years ago. First checked the fuse as Ron suggested above, but it was not blown. Next, checked the wires at the switch. It turned out one of the spade connectors had come apart. Reinserted the connector and checked the others. Haven't had a problem since.

This past April we went to MAC in Ft Worth. At the time the only coating they offered was marketed as "permanent". The shop declined to do our 2022 because it had some chalky patches. In their recent experience with another Oliver, their coating doesn't prevent the underlying chalky fiberglass to continue flaking off. Now the only "permanent" coating they sell is for nonporous surfaces like metal and paint. The website currently shows they have a 3-year coating for fiberglass.

The basket carrier hangs about 20 inches past the bumper, making storage compartment access awkward. A reacher/grabber is helpful for stowing away hoses after use. We prefer having the extra storage in exchange for easier access to the compartment.

We've been looking for a batwing awning for our TV, a Sprinter van. Add finding a reasonably priced hard-shell case to the list of challenges. Also, most of them are from Australian companies, so some are only made for left side mounting. Maybe not a problem for an Oliver since they're only 8' long when stored & 16' deployed; one could be mounted over the door to fold back, or over the window to fold forward.

We counted 45 Olivers camped this morning. What follows are pictures of each campsite, as well as a video showing folks at the Monday meet & greet. We'll start with the video, then post a few pictures at a time. Others, please post your pictures too. Monday Meet & Greet.MOV
