Mike and Carol

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

A Harvest Host member can check their map for MO wineries that take campers. We let our HH lapse for now so I can’t check. Mike

Do you have TPMS sensors mounted on your rubber stems? When I got the TST TPMS I also had my rubber stems replaced with metal stems. That was about 100K miles ago and no problems. I think replacing your rubber stems is the way to go. Mike

Bryan, we’ve never done any trips to/in Canada but will be interested in what you do on this trip! Mike

I didn’t have to make any adjustments. Ball height was/is the same.

We’re just an hour and half from Austin, had I known I would have made plans to see it. Grandkids today and a busy Sunday tomorrow…..

It’s on Facebook, too. Apex X23.

I’ve seen notifications on LinkedIn and X this morning for a new Oliver model, the X23. It’s described as an off-road trailer with blacked out trim and a 48V power system. Nothing on the Oliver home page. Anyone else seen anything? Mike

My banjo fits nicely under the bed overhang on every trip… Mike

I towed 5 years with the Andersen, 5 years without. I don’t miss the Andersen at all. If I remember correctly, 19.5” is what the top of the ball should be, you won’t get much drop from the weight of the trailer on your F250. I had to get a drop hitch for my 2500. Mike

That’s good to know. Quiet and cool!

We like all of the Maricopa County parks, too!

Tire pressure has been a well discussed topic. My trailer came aired at 80psi, max pressure on the side of the tire. I did that for a few years. Then, I went to 55psi. I think it was because that’s what the tire manufacturer recommended for the weight of my trailer. It’s been 6 or 7 years, so it could have been something else. Anyway, 55 has worked well. It does seem that there is less discombobulation of interior items, fewer times the window shades have come down and other small annoyances found at the end of a trip on bumpier roads. If max pressure feels right, then go with it! Mike

It wasn’t changed in 2016, we have the smaller spare.
