I’m not a Facebook user either, so thanks for this.

Looks nice! We haven’t been to that park, will have to put it on the list!
-
That’s never happened. I might try to fit some grommets just to see what I might be missing!

My trailer didn’t come with any grommets. Still doesn’t have any. I haven’t noticed much of a rattle during windy conditions. Mike

Two Day Old Owners In Fisherville, KY
Mike and Carol replied to Tony and Rhonda's topic in Introduce Yourself
Tony and Rhonda, Welcome to the group! We’re starting our 10th year with our Oliver and it’s been our second home as we’ve traveled the country. Hope you get a lot of enjoyable miles and memories with your “new” Oliver. We’ll be in your neighborhood in a week (Winchester) for a 50th wedding anniversary for Carol’s brother and sister-in-law. We’ll be camping in Frankfort. Small world! Mike -
Our local Oliver dealer also sells Intech and Outdoors RV. We looked at the 19MKS, it is a nice layout. The queen bed is easy to fold up and makes the area spacious. The two recliners are a real plus, too. Their trailers are very well insulated and the Titanium has a bunch of nice features. We’ve been following the RV Geeks for a while, too. Mike

I’m looking at ordering a FITCAMX. I like the way it looks OEM, no wires, made model specific. My old dash cam is clunky, old and difficult to use.

We’re sad not to attend this years rally. We hope it’s a huge success! Mike

If you aren’t set on fiberglass I would give Outdoors RV a serious look. Well constructed and true 4 season. Another one (related to Outdoors RV) is Arctic Fox. Mike

Is it an EV or ICE? Also do you need to use an Andersen with that TV?

Fast question about meals at the April Rally
Mike and Carol replied to Teaney Hull 292's topic in Events & Rallies
We usually do the opening dinner and then meals at our trailer. Like Patriot, we do a late breakfast and early dinner and that’s it. Mike -
What are you listening to? Video Thread
Mike and Carol replied to JWalmsley's topic in General Discussion
The first George Strait concert we went to was in 1985 in the Killeen High School auditorium in Killeeen, TX just outside of Fort Hood. Amarillo By Morning was his big hit then. We went to another concert a few years ago, to hear a 70+ year old George and he didn’t miss a beat. Over 2 hours of singing and he finished as strong as he started. He lives near us and is very active in the area. He’s authentic. Mike -
Yes, we use quick connects on our fresh and city water connections. There are a bunch on Amazon, we’ve had ours for years. As far as water draining after you disconnect your hose, the backflow valve is at the back of the basement, a few feet from the connection, so the water that has not passed through the valve is probably what you are seeing drain. I have that too. Mike

I simply disconnected the power wire at the 7 pin connector and bent it back. I was experiencing intermittent trailer brake disconnect messages on my dash and part of my trouble shooting (while camping in Colorado) was to open up the 7 pin connector and check the trailer brake wire. While doing that I took care of the charging wire. There are other threads on the trailer brake disconnect issue. BLUF, it was the wire inside the axle that connected the brake pairs, it had frayed and was shorting the connection. This has happened to several Oliver’s owners with early hull numbers. Mike

Where will you be camping mostly? Getting half of the 500 mile range towing an Oliver would be optimistic. With an EV you will severely limit travel routes and camping areas. If you are interesting in boondocking, EV charging presents a real challenge. Most of the areas and highways/roads in the western US aren’t EV charging friendly. Something to think about. Mike

Propane Tank Storage Cover Seal Replacement
Mike and Carol replied to Gliddenwoods's topic in General Discussion
Like jd, my trailer did not come with any kind of seal. You might want to clean it up and go without. It hasn’t been a problem over the years. Mike -
Agree. I’ve not seen anything but the Andersen used. What tow vehicle will you use?
-
I agree about the Blackstone. We have two and like them. I also like my Weber Q1000, 10 years old and works great. I removed the regulator so it goes on the Oliver quick connect. I don’t think there were any warranty issues doing that. In fact, many dealers sell kits with the parts needed for the regulator removal and quick connect installation. Mike

Is your HWH a Dometic or Suburban? I believe what I have is a Suburban hot water tank. It is not connected to my inverter. If we don’t have 110v we run on propane. The outside switch is usually left on so that it kicks on when we hook up to electricity. Mike

Wrong lug nut size provided with trailer?
Mike and Carol replied to Zodd's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
“….back then.” Here’s ScubaRx back then (May 2016) on our pick up day helping the Oliver folks because of a problem with the lights on our trailer. Blew a fuse in my truck (yes it was a Tacoma, TRD Supercharged), blew a fuse in Steve’s truck and blew a fuse in one of the Oliver guy’s truck. We spent an extra night at the Fall Hollow B&B while Oliver worked to fix the issue. Good times! Mike -
We love that part of Arizona, actually most parts of Arizona! Looks like a great trip. Mike
