Donna and Scott

I received a response from Lippert (Girard Awnings). Here is a copy of the response. "Thank you for your response. We have taken note of your selections and confirmed your rally on our calendar. We are excited to kick off a successful rally season together!   Here's what you can expect from Lippert this year: Rally Coupon Code: This will be a discount code provided to all rally goers to use at our online store. This coupon code will be for 20% off any items on our online store. Door Prize/Giveaway: This will be an item selected and donated by Lippert for you to use as a door prize or giveaway for your rally. Welcome Bag Kit: This will include items for attendees with information about Lippert plus a few SWAG items." I was specific that it was for Oliver Trailers, so hopefully it is items we can use.

After May 20 I will post a link to a Google Sheets so you can add your name and site and if you plan to participate in the potluck and BBQ. It will also have a place for you to put your hull #. It is the only way I know that shows you are an Oliver Owner.

Jason said there will be an Oliver Rep at our rally. I am also in talks with Lippert who is the Girard Awning folks.. they may consider attending but may also provide a door prize for the BBQ night

The Texas Oliver Rally 2025, for Oliver Owners only, will be held October 20, 21, 22. Checking in Oct 20 and checking out Oct 23 at Lake Mineral Wells State Park. For those interested in attending starting May 20 you can reserve a campsite. A potluck dinner is scheduled for Oct 21 and. BBQ dinner us scheduled for Oct 22. A hall at the campground has been reserved for these dates. Paula Ratcliff has arranged for live music for the potluck dinner. I have contacted Truma and they will have a service rep on site. If you need service, you are to contact Shelley Deisinger at s.deisinger@trumacorp.com be sure and let her know you are at a campsite during our rally. I did reach out to Girard but they let me know they will not be at our rally. A representative of the Oliver approved dealer in Ft Worth, United RV will be providing the BBQ dinner. However I had to reserve the group dining hall at $180 per day, so I hope everyone will contribute to this cost. Hopefully someone from Oliver will also be there. Jason E. Attended our last one.

The camera ans monitor system is from Tadi Brothers. They provided an extension that was long enough to go from the camera above the Oliver light to the maxair vent, but had the same results.

The antenna can be removed off camera and a extension can be added. We have the same results whether it is using our Durango or the pick up.

Nice cover. We have a camera we installed, but unless the signal bounces off a roof or between two 18 wheeler trailers it doesn't reach the monitor in the truck. Camera and monitor work well if i plug monitor in the 12v adapter in trailer over stove. We sent it back to manufacturer and it worked with a 70' distance between camera and monitor. So thet charged us for service but we can't count in it. Maybe if we build a cover that sits over the antenna will help.

I know your decision must have been tough as it appears you guys really enjoy traveling with your "Mouse". The new owners will love all that you did with your modifications. Hope you continue on the forum with sharing all that knowledge and experience you have. Your input would be greatly missed. Take care of yourselves. That is the most important thing right now.

I would think the insurance company owns it now since paying out claim, so it probably will be taken where insurance companies take totaled out vehicles.

Thank goodness no one was hurt, well maybe except for pride. But that is a learning lesson. Despite the appearance the hull stayed intact if you where able to get it back to the mothership. In fact that your truck only had damage at the hitch is remarkable as well. To be sure though, I hope your insurance had the truck checked to make sure the frame wasn't bent. Your wait for new Oliver probably is faster than last year I would think. The fact you want another one is a testament to Oliver's build as well. Even though you aren't ready to talk about, I hope once all this is processed in your thoughts you will share what went wrong. Do it when you are ready, even if it takes more than a year before the time comes. Could of should of hindsight is great but until you experience the situation you can't learn from it

Anita, if you are following this post, we hope your recovery is going well. Falling down stairs and the surgery is a lot to deal with. The fact that your surgery was so long because of previous hip replacement makes it even more serious. We pray for God to heal you quickly and that life will be back to normal soon.

So with the retrofit complete, ours runs fine on AC setting using a 20amp circuit. However we do have a 30amp we plug into in our barn. We run a 12volt fan and the invertor when we are storing it in our barn. Has anyone measured the E2 height with the retrofit?

#837 will be at the 2023 balloon festival. Plan to stay at the KOA the first 3 days. Wishing you safe travels and lots of adventures.

We received and replaced the switch that Magnadyne sent us. We finally have our Omni directional working better than it ever did. Can't check cable TV v until we travel again in March and let the everyone know

We contacted Magnadyne as we checked cables and found signal stops at the switch in attic. Magnadyne is sending us a new receptacle. They felt that the Omni directional antenna may not have been working correctly either because of that receptacle. Hopefully this issue will be fixed
