Oliver Rewards Program now has a month service fee
John Dorrer replied to routlaw's topic in General Discussion
In the 1-1/2 years+ that I have had this rewards card, I have only had one $3.50 charge. I don't believe it was a monthly charge. -

I had a $3.50 charge 9/23 and nothing since. I have a small balance to be used soon.😊 -
Oliver Rewards Program now has a month service fee
John Dorrer replied to routlaw's topic in General Discussion
That is the card company. It doesn't have anything to do with Oliver. Seems like Oliver is looking out for us, by doing away with the debit cards and sending $50, so you can have 100% of the payment. -
Spotted an LE-2 westbound on the Bluegrass Parkway in Kentucky, just west of Mile Marker 15, at 2:45pm. We were headed East from Elizabethtown, KY after watching our grandson play in a soccer tournament back to our Jolli Olli, Hull #1045 at My Old Kentucky Home State Park. Safe travels.

Oliver is doing away with the debit card and will now send a check. Had the fee taken out on our first showing, but not on any of the other showings. I spent all but $10 on our Texas trip. I would use it up asap. -
Screen door protection for our furry family friends
John Dorrer replied to MAX Burner's topic in Ollie Modifications
What a smart dog. Our labs have never damaged the screen. They love to lay at the screen door. That is amazing. -
Thanks for sharing

How many trailers does Oliver make per year?
John Dorrer replied to HDRider's topic in General Discussion
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? 🤣 -
Texas Ollie Spotted San Antonio HEB
John Dorrer replied to Galway Girl's topic in General Discussion
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. -
Important Update about Oliver Service
John Dorrer replied to Jason Essary's topic in General Announcements
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🙃 -
Official Update from Oliver Travel Trailers
John Dorrer replied to RLomax's topic in General Announcements
Thanks Rodney -
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.

What exterior caulk is the factory using now?
John Dorrer replied to Townesw's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
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 -
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.

Great Park. The hike up to Zapata Falls and into the cave to the falls was amazing. Need waders, that water will be cold.

Well stated. Thanks. I think people have been a bit more reserved here on the Forum. -
End of (most) factory service
John Dorrer replied to Steph and Dud B's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
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. -
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.

Trailer #1,000 1/2022, ours 1045 3/10/22, and then yours. That would be over 150 from 1/22 to 6/22. -

Newbies taking the plunge - Are we missing anything
John Dorrer replied to Dennis and Melissa's topic in General Discussion
Spending the night😊 -
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.
