My neighbor has a Cybertruck so I see it about everyday. Not a fan, but it doesn’t seem as weird as it first did.

My springs arrived yesterday. We leave next week and will have them installed May 6 at Oliver, then we’ll go to East Tennessee before we head to the rally. Will provide observations. Mike -
Even if it was digital it would be a lot of work! Mike

Also, it would be helpful if you added a signature with which Oliver you own and your Hull number.

The nearest Oliver dealer to me is a 2 hour drive. I am more likely to go to my local RV repair shop just 10 minutes away. This RV repair shop does work on several local Olivers. An owner, with one of the original Elite’s, found this shop and recommended it to other local Oliver owners. In order to compile a well populated ownership registry someone is going to have to use social media assets, this forum and the FaceBook pages, to ask for data. Also, if you want to find out if someone has found a closer-to-you repair facility, the same social media needs to be used to find out. If there isn’t one, then someone will have to do the research to find one and then share it with other local owners. If you are going to the rally, you could ask here or on FaceBook if there are other owners from your are also going, then do a meet up to establish relationships and exchange data. There are a couple of San Antonio owners that we only see at the rally in Alabama! Mike

I’ll get mine installed in 2 weeks then off to East Tennessee for a week or so before the rally. I’ll also tow forward and observe. -

I haven’t asked for a break out for the different replacements/installs. -
True, but our Oliver’s could surely withstand more “tree” impact than a sticks and staples!

My ALCAN springs arrive tomorrow. Oliver service will install them when I have them do the shocks, bearings and brakes in two weeks. New information is always good. -
Are you checking on the parks web site or calling direct? They do not show ability to reserve sites more than 5 months out. Mike

Brand of metal valve stems
Mike and Carol replied to StillGame's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
We’ve used TST and metal stems for the last 7/8 years or so and a lot of miles, no issues. Mike -
Wet Bolt Size Help Requested
Mike and Carol replied to connor77's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
An option would be to open a ticket with Oliver service, they should know exactly what was installed on Hull 832 and then ship you what you need. Mike -

At the rally ask me about our flood experience and the 2am evacuation!

Here’s an interesting article on what to do in a lightning storm. They say metal RV’s are safer than all fiberglass RV’s. They also give some other advice. I’d be interested in what the consensus is on what everyone does during storms. Mike Lightning Storm Precautions

Day/Night Window Shade Questions
Mike and Carol replied to rideandfly's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
John, as Bill has shown, it can be done. I had two blinds on the kitchen counter for several days as I did the re-stringing thing a couple years ago. One came out fine, the other one I had too tight which made it difficult to raise the lower shade. Had to loosen up the strings a bit, now it’s fine. Just plan some time and be patient! Mike -
It’s a rite of passage for a lot of owners!
