Mike and Carol

I’m ambivalent on the stripes. I’ve thought about removing ours a couple of times, just never did it. I did have some custom graphics on the side in place of the Oliver Legacy Elite II that said The Lone Star Oliver. I took it off after a couple of years because I was tired of folks asking where in Texas it was made. When I explained it was made in Tennessee the question was why would they call it a Lone Star Oliver. I would explain that was our naming of our trailer and then I was asked “why would you want to do that?”. I thought about having a FAQ card made that I could just hand out but removing the confusing graphics won the day. Mike

Congratulations and welcome! See you at the rally. Mike

I’m going to install my new EZE gutters next week before we head north. I’ll take some pictures. Mike

Now I’m hungry! This is on the list!

We’ve had a bunch of spam attacks this week. We’re leaving some up so the administrators can figure out what’s going on. Thanks.

This looks better than the sites I’ve checked out. I’ll keep monitoring. Thanks. Mike

Gary, thanks! I’ll add these to the itinerary, will ask Carol about the tea thing?! Great pictures, by the way. We were planning on taking our passports in case we wanted to venture north, sounds like something we should do. I have an ex-sister-in-law that lives in Whitefish and she is sending us some info on the area. Mike

The administrators have been notified. I just deleted another account and the 6 associated spam emails.

As we’re getting ready to leave next week I’ve been trying to check wildfire status. The Dakotas don’t look too bad but there does appear to be some activity in Montana and Wyoming. Does anyone have a favorite app or web site for checking wildfire status?

Agree with Overland. We’ve been trying to keep up with the spammers. If you’re getting suspicious emails, let us know. If there are ways to tighten up the registration process we will consider all possibilities.

We do the best we can to keep these spammers in check. We’ve been deleting these users and their posts all week. If a spam post is reported the moderators get an email so we’ll know to jump on the forum and clean things up. Mike

Congratulations and welcome to the family. Let the fun begin!

Glad it worked out. See you on the road!

Looks like a new record was set for the forum last night with 22 users online at the same time. The old record of 21 lasted quite a while! Mike

We do something similar. The sunshade provides a good anchor and holds well in up to moderate winds. We have the Fiamma awning.

After using Rejex (61002) once I switched to Meguiars marine wax. The Rejex was hard to apply and difficult to wipe/buff off. The Meguiars was easy and so I use it often. Mike

Another good looking Lone Star.... must be a Texas thing!

For a thief who bypasses the hitch because of a lock and uses the safety chains/cables to steal the trailer, is one better than the other to prevent theft? Or are they about the same?

I use this on the road and while at home to do stuff up top. We carry it in the bed of the truck. I cut a pool noodle to fit the top couple of feet of the ladder where it rests against the trailer. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XTBXTXG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Agree!

Alcohol. Followed the instructions. The issue was the sudden, large temperature drop combined with the material being stored for a while in the tight shipping coil. I should have unwrapped and let them normalize. The ones I got last week have been straightening in the hot garage and have lost their shipping bend.

Welcome, Kansas! Carol and I are both From Kansas, Leavenworth HS graduates, sort of the greater KC area. Ask any questions you may have, lots of smart folks here that like to help. Hope to see you on the road. Mike

Last week I received my eze gutter order from Amazon. Two 10’ rolls @ $27 each. Polar white. I installed these a few years ago on a hot spring day which was followed by a norther that night with temps going from the 80s to 30s. My ends curled up. With temps in the 100s the next week I’m hoping that won’t happen again. I’ve had them unrolled in the hot garage for a week to ensure they will be nice and pliable. Ensuring they go on a clean surface is key. Mike
