Susan, Our Diamondback on a 2016 Tundra is the SE model. Hope these photos help. https://diamondbackcovers.com/products/diamondbackse?variant=32626020089955 Edit: If you are asking about bed rails that locking rods insert into, bed rails were standard on our SR5 Tundra and probably many pickups. They are almost flush with the top inside of the pickup bed: Measuring from bottom of cover: Measuring from top of truck bed: Exterior lock lever: Interior lock:

Sherry, Our Diamondback cover is the lowest cost unit they make with 400 pound maximum carrying capacity on the cover. The more expensive models like Mac's has much higher load carrying capacities. With both top cover doors closed, the tailgate opens easily. Don't need slide out drawers with both top doors that open, but need a folding stool to reach over each side of the pickup bed to reach gear. Have not hauled anything on top of our Diamondback cover, yet. Have to admit, after seeing Overland's thread about a Tonneau cover with built in solar panels, been "thinking for now" about installing two Renogy 30W removable solar panels on both Diamondback fold up doors to increase solar capacity by 120W in addition to our 100W Renogy suitcase panel.

Susan, Yes, Happy with the aluminum diamond plate material, no corrosion. Had the option to go with black powder coated finish from Diamondback, but wanted the bed cover to blend with chrome parts on the Tundra and aluminum wheels on Ollie. Thinking about installing aluminum wheels on the Tundra, too.

Susan, Here's the Diamondback before installation on our Tundra: Ready to camp:

Susan, We have a Diamondback cover on the Tundra and like using it for camping.

David, Looks great on Ollie and the "Beast"! Will be talking to the installer in Concord NC, soon!

David, Congrats on the new Tremor! Can't wait to see the "Beast" with Ollie!

The peach and cherry cobblers were fantastic and they had ice cream, too.

Susan, We enjoy meeting Ollie owners everywhere we travel! 🙂 Met Ollie and Casita owners, they shared fine cobblers with us: 😋

Dennis, We use the Camco system. One of the complaints in Amazon reviews was slipping on pavement. Cut out a $1 rubber Welcome mat from Walmart placing under the yellow wedge, have not experience slipping on pavement so far. https://www.amazon.com/Camco-Curved-Leveler-Chock-Drive/dp/B0751TG8MH/ref=sr_1_9?dchild=1&keywords=camco+rv+leveling+blocks&qid=1599005547&sr=8-9

Susan, We have plenty of exploring left to do in Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah, and eastern California during 2021. We enjoy our trips out west!!!! Thanks for the link,

Like the BRP shots!!!! Looks like a nice adventure including the trip home!

jordanv, Some folks don't read their vehicle operators manual closely. Hats off to you for reading the manual and standing your ground with the dealer. 👍

Erv & Sherry, Congrats on your beautiful Ollie! Nice shots, we will visit Juliette State Park. Good looking rig, too!

David, We have some grading & concrete work to be done at home. When that's done, will be heading back to BRP, probably Linville Falls. Glad y'all had a fine time at Chantilly. Tested all of Ollie's systems on this trip since we have not camped much this year and everything worked great. Ollie is so pleasant to camp in, can't wait to go again!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks,

Sounds like a fine time and beautiful campground!

Bill, We love camping out west and love the Blue Ridge Mountains, too!

jordanv, Congrats on the fine looking new truck! We purchased our LE2 Ollie in MO and towed it home to North Carolina with a 4.0L Nissan Frontier. Later we traded the Frontier for a new 5.7L Tundra to tow Ollie with.

Agree, we like hiking to local waterfalls, drives on the BRP, and cool temps in the summer. When it's 90's and humid at home, we go to Mt. Pisgah to find cooler temps and beautiful views on the BRP!

Last year we met Wayne and Gayle while camping at Mount Pisgah NC on the Blue Ridge Parkway. They were very interested in Ollie and we gave them a complete Ollie tour. Late last year they purchased a new LE2. While camping at Mount Pisgah this week, we saw another Ollie. It was Wayne and Gayle with their new Ollie. Congrats Wayne and Gayle on your beautiful Ollie! First time we saw an Ollie was also at Mount Pisgah during 2010 and the kind owners from Florida gave us a complete Ollie tour, too. It's $10 per night at Mount Pisgah with the geezer card. No electricity or water at the sites, but very nice campground at 5,000' with cool summer temps! Took this shot in the early morning clouds: B27 walkup site:

Sherry, Talked to Oliver before a service trip last year and they were installing the ZAMP PORTABLE SOLAR PORT W/ 20AMP INLINE FUSE for add on ports. Decided to install the 10Amp Furrion port on Ollie for my 100W portable panel. With the 100W panel have not seen over 6 amps charging so far. Bill

Nan, Understand how you feel and we were initially frustrated, too. We purchased Ollie used 2016 and first camping trip had leaks from top dinette window. The dinette window leak was coming in at the porch light (old style light fixture) over the dinette window. Resealed the porch light and leak stopped. Another leak was coming in at the Oliver sign over the rear window and travelling between hulls and dripping out of the rear window onto curbside bed. Removed rear Oliver sign, resealed and no more leaks in that area. Once these leaks were fixed, have not had other issues with these areas. Since our leaks were repaired we towed through the heaviest rains we have ever seen and one night a tornado passed not too far away with heavy rains without any leaks. I believe campers will eventually leak, but when you get the leaks fixed on your Ollie, you will find Ollie to be a wonderful camper.

Andrew, We purchased our 2015 LE2 used and it did not have factory solar. Started using a portable 100W panel and wired a system on Ollie earlier this year, really like it. Now interested in a roof solar installation just like yours. Really like your Battle Born Batteries, too. Appreciate the information!

Steve and Andrew, Appreciate information shared. Andrew nice installation! Did Oliver install aluminum roof plates in the 2015 LE2s that did not come with factory solar?
