State Registration & Taxes Other Costs
Mike and Carol replied to Bruce W's topic in General Discussion
We also live in Texas. After picking up in Tennessee we got home before our 30 Day Tennessee temporary tag ran out and registered in Texas, including sales tax. No property tax. You do need a state safety inspection, which didn't amount to much - just checking the lights. Mike -
Dan, welcome, glad you're here! I wonder what great features will be on the 2022 Oliver! Mike

Surburban Furnace NOISE COMPLAINT!
Mike and Carol replied to ScottyGS's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
Ours is pretty quiet and doesn't make anywhere near that much noise. I'd call Jason. Mike -
You Meet Interesting People While Camping
Mike and Carol replied to Mike and Carol's topic in Submit Your Story
Helen was nice. We had the town to ourselves. Unicoi State Park there was also very nice. We also enjoyed Anna Ruby Falls. Here in Banner Elk it's interesting to be parked "in town", very convenient. The Mast General Store was fun and we enjoyed Grandfather Mountain. There is a lot to do around here, warrants a trip back! Mike -
We were on the phone with Mother's Day calls and couldn't log on. We can try again soon! Mike

We left the Oliver Rally and headed for Helen, GA. We had a nice site at Unicoi State Park just 2 miles from Helen - a very nice park. While there we had a very friendly camping neighbor. He asked where were headed next and I told him we were going to a COE campground near Boomer, NC just north of Wilkesboro, NC. His reaction was the same that we got from Topgun when we told him. Not the best area and not much to do there. Our Helen neighbor lives in Banner Elk, NC. He offered us a parking spot next to his business on the edge of town. 50a Electric and water, he sometimes parks his RV here. After a night in our COE campground, we drove up to Banner Elk and are now camped next to his business. What a great site! Banner Elk motto: "Ski Capital of the South". You do meet interesting folks while camping! Mike

This is exactly how we shower. No issues. Mike

Brandi, welcome! Can't help with your question, but I'm sure someone who can will chime in. Mike

John, thanks for the picture. Let us know if you find the bigger sink! Mike

While we were at the Quartzsite Rally in February, one of the fiberglass bloggers (Bex) asked if she could film our trailer and the Landrums trailer. She recently posted two videos. The first features the Landrums Oliver and the second has ours. I've subscribed to her channel for some time, she full times in a tiny Casita and does a lot of videos on her travels to various parks and camping spots. Mike

Our inverter doesn't make any noise. We don't have the satellite dish so I'm not sure what that sounds like. Mike

We enjoyed the rally too. It was a good mix of social, technical and learning. Great support from the Olivers and their great employees. Thanks to Coy for all his coordination work. Mike
-
Us too!

Steve, even though you haven't been here in person you've been here in conversation! We hope your SUT goes well. This has been a good rally. We've enjoyed reconnecting with old friends and meeting new friends and learning from their experiences. Coy and the Oliver team have done a great job with structuring the program. Mike

Happier Camper with LEGO modular interior furnishings
Mike and Carol replied to John E Davies's topic in General Discussion
I checked these out when they first came out. Cute and innovative. Not for me, but I hope they are successful. Mike -
We left home a week ago for the Oliver Rally. We are finally at a campground that has some cell coverage! We stayed at Bear Creek COE west of Fort Worth for a few days to visit family in Dallas. We left Sunday for Caddo Lake State Park on the TX/LA border. We drove through Canton, TX on the way just a day after the tornado hit. On I-20 going by Canton we saw the tornado damage up close. A car dealership was totally destroyed, the building gone and cars/trucks thrown all over the place. There was an engine and other parts in the freeway median. Just past the dealership was an amusement park with a ride called The Twister which was not damaged, ironic. We're now in Trace State Park not far from Tupelo, MS. We have a nice lakeside site - the only problem is that they drained the lake. At least we have cell coverage so we can catch up on things. Friday morning we will continue up the Natchez Trace to the rally site. Looking forward to meeting/seeing a lot of Oliver friends! Mike

This is Caddo Lake State Park on the TX/LA border. We're on our way to the rally, stopping at state parks and COE campgrounds along the way. Trivia: Caddo Lake is the only naturally formed lake in Texas! Mike

Congrats! Glad to hear all went well and the weather cooperated. Looks great - Mike

We stayed at the Natchez Hills Winery B&B. They have two small buildings, one is a real 1800's log cabin, which is where we stayed. Breakfast is served in the owners home. It was very nice. Amber Falls Winery also has some lodging that we noticed during a visit there. We also stayed in the Fall Hollow B&B for two nights. Very basic, but clean and convenient. The breakfast that is provided is so good we weren't hungry until late afternoon. Mike

Dave, I found the same thing when I was doing some cleaning last week before we left on our "Rally Trip". It was a real pain cleaning the collected debris off of the gasket. During heavy rain that gasket does not stop water flow. The water flows under the awning and over the gasket. I'm not sure what its purpose is. I may do what Pete did and just remove it. Mike

We carry the two Oliver supplied 10' hoses in the bumper with a 4" clear section attached to one hose. I will replace these hoses with better quality hoses when they show some wear. So far, after about 13K miles, they still look pretty good. I don't think the diamond plate has caused any excessive wear. Mike

There will be quite a few non owners there. Everyone is welcome! Mike
-
Welcome Clair and Kathy! Not sure how far Oakdale is from Hohenwald, but you could meet a lot of Oliver owners at the rally next weekend. Mike

Coy, assuming Micro-Air will have a vendor area for demonstrations Saturday afternoon? Just look for your trailer! ???? Mike
