Rolind, could you add your trailer year to your signature. Thanks.

Nice Thanks for sharing.

Been through 3 barn burner storms. January 27, 1967, 23"+ and 50 mile winds with 20' snow drifts. January 1978, 36"+ with over 50 mph winds and drifts reaching 20', and 1979, 23"+ and drifting. Looking like 8"-10". Hoping they are wrong.

Indianapolis is now looking at 7"-8" of the fluffy stuff, though the forecast is for single digits and below zero wind-chill. That may keep the amount down. We shall see. Guess it is what it isπ

Weather looks great. I think it got up to 10Β° today, here in Indiana, with a negative wind chillπ

Any new forums outside of Oliver for selling your Oliver?

I still watch all the new pop-up and hardside truck campers. The new technology amazes me. I do the same with the fiberglass trailers. The grass is always greener. I'm happy with our Oliver and hope we can stay healthy and enjoy another 4-5 years. As far as Morning Star, my issues are no pantry, their using Battleborn Batteries, television placement, lack of storage compared to our LE2, rear side entry, front bed, small closet limited to 4-5 hanging items and zero room for shelves, 650 lbs. +/- heavier than a loaded LE2, leaving little room for everything else. We like to travel with a full tank of water. Also the rear manual jacks are very "Cheesey" compared the the Oliver jacks. Also, the low clearance and their suspension maybe suspect.

Yep

Maybe we will pass you on I-20 againπ. Crossing through Louisiana around 2/17.

Have Fun. Maybe in the future for us.

Someone listed around $150 per window if I remember. Just don't remember where it was posted. -
Day/Night Window Shade Questions
John Dorrer replied to rideandfly's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
We have both street side shades have strings break. The shades still work, though at a slight angle. I reached out to Oliver and plan on having both frames and shades replaced later this year or 2/27. Oliver said replacement would be no problem. We have ZERO desire to re-string them ourselves. "We would like to stay married".π€£ -

I'm more in the leaks at windows have more to do with the lights above the windows, clogged window tracks, or a defect in the window itself. The windows are set into a tight seal of tape caulk. The sealant is a secondary line of defense, which also protects the tape caulk from UV.

You would be drilling into aisle in our 2022. The original adhesive install was poor and mine came off. I had to use a puddy knife to scrap the old off, alcohol to remove all the fiberglass dust on the backside of the board and the fiberglass. Cleaned it twice, let it dry, applied the heavy duty Gorilla construction adhesive, wedged the board into the adhesive, and kept the wedge tight against the board for 5-6 days. Yes drilling would be a big, big mistake.

All things electric and all things internet are beyond me. I can update my signature map, and then after the next trip can't figure how to do itπ

John Dorrer replied to cowgs's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
That is the solar disconnect in our 2022. -
Did you check out Rock Tamers? We have their net between the flaps to provide full coverage.

In a Big Way

The key is keeping it clean when camping We us our small vacuum or compressed air. We inspect before closing a window so we don't grind up debris. We call it daily preventative maintenance, and it pays off as our tracks have never had an issue.
