  1. What a smart dog. Our labs have never damaged the screen. They love to lay at the screen door. That is amazing.
  2. Thanks for sharing
  3. People have way too much time on their hands. Why do people have to keep on speculating and coming up with all these theories? Why not just load your Oliver and go camping? 🤣
  4. Nothing like some good HEB Pecan Coffee. Brought a supply home. Went to college at Trinity U. In SA with Howard E Butt, III, Chairman of the Board. He was a tennis player.
  5. I agree. Just find a mobile RV company and build a relationship with them and also with one of the new dealers. We are 6+ hours from Hohenwald and loved stopping in late February on our way to Texas. We also have a relationship with a dealer in Indianapolis that worked on our truck camper and did a Norcold warranty repair on our Oliver fridge. I have options in the works and haven't seen the sky falling yet🙃
  6. I'm trying to help someone that stores their Oliver outside with a cover. I thought I read somewhere where someone claimed to get solar in put with the cover in place. I suggested she consider a portable solar panel How do people protect their cover from damage by the solar panel corners? I believe Chris Neuhaus built a mod to protect his cover.
  7. Spot on. I spent 40 years designing sealant projects and saw my share of failures due to silicone contamination. Edit. Oliver uses a white silicone, so best to stick with that. The sealant is actually the sacrificial layer to protect the sealant tape
  8. We keep 2 1-gallon containers of DampRid in our trailer. We also have Eva-Dry charcoal packets. I don't like leaving things plugged in as our storage place is 1 hour away.
  9. Great Park. The hike up to Zapata Falls and into the cave to the falls was amazing. Need waders, that water will be cold.
  10. Geoff. Well written. Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts.
  11. Well stated. Thanks. I think people have been a bit more reserved here on the Forum.
  12. I spoke to the Sales Manager at the new Indiana Dealer. Decided to wait to talk to service until the Service Department has been trained. In the meantime I started researching mobile RV companies and have reached out to two. While I usually stopped in Hohenwald in late February, there are things I will continue to do myself like winterizing, dewinterizing, and sanitizing. I will also continue to check screws, wires, etc. I have a truck place that does our zerks and will be checking suspension, springs, etc. Having a mobile guy will hopefully provide some piece of mind.
  13. Such a wonderfully drive with our truck camper for just one night. I had no idea what I was getting into. The views of Square Top, including on morning fog, made it worth it.
  14. Trailer #1,000 1/2022, ours 1045 3/10/22, and then yours. That would be over 150 from 1/22 to 6/22.
  15. They are listed on the Oliver website
  16. Congrats. They all give us great joy.
  17. So true. We love our Benchmark Atlases for travel out west, with BLM and USFS areas highlighted with dispersed campgrounds.
  18. And that makes me wonder if there was any hidden damage beyond the damaged Proven Industries puck lock you took off my hands after my son backed into the puck lock/bull dog and knocked the front jack of the Andersen jack stand. I found nothing that stood out. It seems the puck lock took the punishment. In light of this thread it does raise concerns of hidden damage. I will need to be diligent.
  19. I just checked our 2022 LE2, 2" Bulldog. Ours is rated 7,000. Outside of surface rust, ours looks fine. I intend on sanding rusted areas and applying Rustoleum in two (2) coats when we get home. I need to check the underside for the guset. Update: guset is there
  20. Sorry this happened and glad your family are safe. What year trailer? We have the 2" on LE2, 2022. Will inspect ours . Keep us posted.
  21. I was totally confused Thanks.
  22. Confirmed by Mile Sharp, this should be sealed.
  23. When I get back to the trailer I will check that. I'm not mechanically inclined🙃 D52 Capacity, 3,500. on the label
