Checked several times to purchase the Airplus unit for Ollie only to find them Unavailable. Purchased a 21 pint KNKA unit on Amazon for $105, but looks like this unit went up to $144 on Amazon, Ebay has them for less. Tried this unit for 3 days in Ollie with outside humidity ranging from 50% in the afternoon to 90% before sunrise with outside temps ranging from low 40s to afternoon upper 60s. This unit removed about a quart of water daily. I dumped the tank daily, but it also has a drain hose that could be run into the kitchen sink or shower drain. Set the unit at 40% and it actually kept the inside humidity at 47% when the compressor shut off to 55% when the compressor turned back on. It has CSA certification. https://www.knkaonline.com/en-us/products/9927848493377

Happy Veterans Day! Sincere Thanks to All of Our Veterans!

I think that race has happened on Youtube, Diesel Wins! Retired from the railroad, never met an unhappy Diesel Locomotive Engineer! 😁

Bill, Thanks! It has the 6.8 Mini-Zilla gas engine, a de-stroked 7.3 Godzilla, with 10R100 transmission. It's an old school gas V-8. Really like how it tows Ollie, too.

We just moved up to a F-350 and really enjoy towing Ollie with it. On our previous 1/2 ton tow vehicles I added rear suspension systems to reduce rear end sag, these modifications are not needed with the F-350 when towing Ollie. Really like the increased payload with the F-350, a couple of our past TV had to monitor the TV weight with Ollie connected to be sure we did not exceed the TV axles & gross weight.

Some of the after market accessories I added and Murphy’s Law applies especially on the first trip with any new vehicle. Everything is working well! 🙂 Thanks,

Stone Mountain SP NC, tow vehicle shake down trip. It handles Ollie easily. Added a couple old photos of Stone Mountain from the meadow and from the top.

We love camping with our Ollie. Always wanted to improve Ollie's windows, too. On our previous camper we had Euro Style windows that could be opened up to about 70 or 80 degrees and had nice looking shade/screen assemblies. We really liked those windows because we could leave them open during a rain that is straight down. On the down side they were single pane plexiglass. Another issue that could happen with the Oliver is deflecting water above the window when open due to the hull angle, I don't know but have wondered about this issue if using different windows. With so many good ideas posted here, I'm sure from time to time Oliver looks at certain modifications/improvements. Before retirement one of my jobs was to answer warranty claims for industrial machine components we rebuilt or had built by other manufacturers for a fleet of 2200 machines. Sometimes it's difficult to see criticism of work your teams produced, but to be honest it was very helpful for us to improve and produce the best product we could. Here's a Euro style window similar to the window we had in a previous camper: https://aussietraveller.com.au/products/eurovision-window

Agree, we like our LP, too!

Alcan has a competitive labor charge. It's worth it letting them install the springs when in the area! Already have all the break-in miles needed on the Superduty for towing. Towed Ollie earlier this week with the Superduty, it handles Ollie easily. Have some family commitments this year, not sure if we will make it to CO, but plan to head west next year. Have most of the farkles (accessories) installed, finishing touches this weekend.

Agree, if we install Alcans, this will be a good reason to head west to Colorado! 🙃

Geoff, First time we were given a tour of a Legacy Elite, felt the same way! Good video! Thanks for posting!

First time we had the pleasure to see a LE1 at Mt. Pisgah Campground on the Blue Ridge Parkway was during the production shutdown. We definitely wanted an Ollie after the owners gave us a tour, bought our 2015 #75 LE2 used from the original owners during 2016.

Welcome and Congrats on your new Ollie!!!! There are plenty of knowledgeable folks here, if you have any questions. Please post photos of your Ollie adventures, too!

That's nice, easy to reach, too.

Absolutely Beautiful! Y'all are always giving us ideas for new places to camp!!!!!!!!

Had this issue in Stand-By mode at home, that's when I ordered the router. Have not had issue camping, yet.

Sounds right. Just ordered a Starlink Router for the Mini this morning, after placing the Mini on standby mode at home, it works OK but getting too far away from the dish in the house slows down service even more. The Router should help that situation at home and camping.

Check Spam.

Just did a speed test on standby mode. Uploaded this photo with Starlink on Standby mode.

Wow, did not expect that, started the standby mode earlier this week when StarLink set the email. Going to try ours out, too! Thanks,

Have not studied about the difference in manufacturer's engine brakes, but where you're located an engine brake would be nice! We used to install Cummins in several different industrial applications, nice engines. From what I understand the Ford 6.7L diesel works great towing an Ollie.

Yep, plan to keep this one a while. Really, I am! 😁
