Mike and Carol

Lake Catherine SP is one of our favorites! Mike

Our Oliver turned 10 last month. We will celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary this coming Friday. Time flies. Mike

Monarch Pass, June 2023. A week later it was sunny and warm!

My understanding is that the brake wires come that way from Dexter, Oliver just installs the axles as they receive them. Mike

Intermittent trailer disconnect messages have happened to a number of owners. My problem was worn wires inside the axle. Bryan @SNY SD UP in ND identified this issue first and shared his solution. Simply replacing those worn wires fixed the issue. I did go through months of troubleshooting and having my truck checked and tested at the dealer. The thread below is one of several on this topic. Trailer Brake Disconnect Message Mike

Martin and Linda, welcome! You live in a nice part of Oregon. If you have questions, you’ll find lots of experts that will offer solutions. Mike

The propane cook top has been very reliable and works well for us.

I was thinking the same thing. You walk all over the “deck” then fold it up and it becomes an interior wall? I’ll pass.

Not sure about this one…. https://youtube.com/shorts/QOvTdqhmEgk?si=yu9p2qfs7fkid0ch

The Boerne Community Concert Band performed a concert in the town square yesterday evening. All patriotic songs, marches and songs of each branch of service. Also a nice rendition of Taps for our fallen heroes. It was a good turnout, lots of camping chairs and good weather. Small town USA. Happy Memorial Day! Mike

I like the windows. It would be interesting if they can be retrofitted to our older trailers. Jason does a good job in the video! Mike

I’ll be watching! I’ve got a preliminary route planned out in my head which includes the above in reverse order. It’s going to be another year or two before we can resume our long trips, though. Mike

The contrast is interesting. I don’t know how water could have entered our junction box, we’ve never had any kind of big leak. Possibly during its time in the factory? Strange.

Congratulations! We’ve got three left, MN, WI and MI. Not sure when we’ll be able to travel north but will probably hit all three on the same trip. Mike

I had a similar experience when I needed one of the four screws that hold the Dometic AC cover on. I called and was told they would “take care of me”. In a few days I had a bag of 6 screws. No charge. Mike

Congratulations on overcoming all those issues and continuing with your trip. You’re going to like the Epoch batteries. Enjoy the Rockies, there’s so much to see and do! Mike

If you go to the blue bar at the top of your browser (where the search function is), next to “Forums” is “Activity”, if you click that then on the bar just underneath on the far right you will see “Staff”. Click that and you’ll see the moderators and the administrators. Mike

John, my setup is pretty simple. I run a hose from the camp water outlet to a simple Culligan filter or Camco blue filter, then a short hose to connect to a small water softener, then into the city water port. On Amazon: Water Softener Mike

Discount Tire here in Boerne was much cheaper!

It’s on our calendar! Lake Livingston is a nice park. Mike

This video was also posted in January with a lot of similar comments. I’m sure Oliver is looking at this as well for their own product improvement plans. January posting Mike

Great pics! That’s one of our favorite areas. My grandparents lived in Branson when I was growing up, it was a little different in those days. Mike

Both the Chill Cube and the Fresh Jet are quieter than our old Penguin. Do we know which is the quietest? The choices for AC replacement are growing!

When our daughter was going to NAU in Flagstaff we made the drive from Sierra Vista up through Tucson on I-10 picking up I-17 in Phoenix. We’ve been up and down that freeway many times but not since the new construction was finished. Sounds like an improvement!

Glad to hear all went well! Our Olivers are definitely a home away from home. We’ve used ours as temporary lodging for various non-camping/traveling reasons over the years. Hope you are back to 100% soon! Mike
