Mike and Carol

Hull 135 still doesn’t have an on board EMS. The PD power pole unit has worked well. This thread has me thinking though….. Mike

I replaced my original tires (BF Goodrich) somewhere between 5 and 6 years. There was lots of tread left but they were starting to show some small cracking close to the wheels. They probably had about 60K miles on them. I used Discount Tire. Mike

Looks like a nice box. Pretty expensive though. My $150 Amazon aluminum box has done well the last 5 or 6 years.

Merry Christmas everyone! Hoping for a New Year full of travel and camping for everyone! Nice bottle of Amber Falls wine in the video, they are a HH if you want to do serious tasting then just walk back to your Oliver! Mike

The range extender does take up valuable bed space. Plus, it would get frustrating having to stop and charge, maybe even needing to disconnect the trailer to get into some chargers. Lots of RV’s in the western US and even if every gas station had chargers it would take a while waiting for the charging process to finish. I can fill my diesel tank in a lot less time. Mike

I don’t think so. We can all agree it’s pretty tough stuff!

The reason I posted this is because a lot of us like to discuss new technology. There’s no suggestion that this would apply to the construction of an Oliver, it’s about a potential tow vehicle. I have no personal experience in working with steel or stainless steel as you do, I’m just going by the Tesla information that their truck panels are a special alloy that can’t be handled like normal SS. Mike

Here’s the LOLOHO video…. It includes the Tesla footage, at about 3.5 minutes in a guy is shooting at the side and that’s followed by Joe Rogan trying to pierce the side with an arrow.

Video shows a number of weapons being fired at the side of the truck with no penetration. Dents, but the bullets did not penetrate.

Agree that for RV towing these trucks are a definite no-go. The reason it is so angular is because the stainless steel panels are not bendable, but they are bullet proof!

Our trailer has USB A ports. The oval end means you have a USB C cord. USB A to C adapters are available on Amazon and other places so you should be good. Mike

Pete, it is just two doors down from us, on the corner of Keeneland and Delta Dawn. It drove by yesterday and then we saw it on our walk parked in the driveway later in the day. Mike

We have a Cybertruck in our neighborhood, drove by it this morning. It is larger in person than I thought it was. LOLOHO just did a 20 minute video on it, Sean is on the wait list and wants to try it towing his 25’ Airstream. It’s a good video if you’re interested in the Tesla truck. I’m not there yet, too much camping in the west where even gas stations can be hard to find! Mike

Congratulations! That’s quite a Christmas Present!! Mike

Many years of Boy Scouting established a deep knowledge of campfires in my brothers and me. Same for my Eagle Scout son. Hopefully the California permitting process includes some safety information/training/guidelines. Mike

Wow, first I’ve heard of this. Does this include propane grills and fire pits? Are there other normal human actions that require permitting in California? Any other states do this? Mike

Congrats on the upcoming birth! I agree with Bill’s comments. - I’ve used the onboard jacks numerous times to get the tires off the ground for various reasons. - We have the regular toilet (NH not available in 2015), but I think you want to keep your composter as dry as possible. - We titled our babies in the states they were born in, one in Georgia and one in Hawaii. Our trailer is titled in Texas.🤪 - Call Lake Guntersville State Park and make a reservation, the park will be full for the rally. You can cancel or offer you space to late comers if you decide not to attend. Registration with Oliver is separate, they haven’t opened it up yet. Have fun learning about babies and Olivers! Mike

One of the advantages of having a vintage model!

Not that I’m aware of, yet. Waiting for the company announcement!

You can deal with the factory or go to any authorized dealer. Warranty service can still be done at a local business and reimbursed by Oliver. Mike

It will be quite a Christmas present! Enjoy your pick up and orientation! Mike

That Escape add is a bit corny, doesn’t really highlight the trailers just the silly bear. Mike

First thing to do is call Lake Guntersville State Park and reserve a campsite. Then wait for Oliver to open the web page for rally registration. Mike

This is exactly what happened to me. Insulation worn, wires shorting, no brakes. New wires routed on the outside of the axle solved the issue. Mike

I don’t think we’ll see any Camping Worlds. They are working with smaller dealers. I know one they are working with in Texas is a small family dealer. Mike
