Horace and Dianne, Thanks! Great to have feedback on a Elite II/Tundra rig.
-
Mike, Thanks! While driving the Tundra home yesterday, thinking about how the Tundra would look towing the Ollie, thought about your nice looking RAM (true story), how it would look with the Ollie too! :)

Larry and Coy, Thanks!!!! Agree, really like the dash and all the neat technology. This is our third Toyota pickup, really like their pickup trucks. Our first 1987 Toyota pickup was called pickup, it didn't have a name like Tacoma or Tundra. This is new to me, paired the blue tooth with the cell phone and received a hands free call!!!! :) It has a factory tow package, heated mirrors, 4 & 7 pin trailer connections, tow mode, 6 speed auto tranny, cruise control, tranny cooler, adjustable headlamps with a toggle switch (up & down), intermittent windshield wipers, satellite radio, 6.5' bed, and weather radio. Busy reading the manual for now and putting some miles on it before towing the Ollie. :)

We purchased a new Ollie tow vehicle today, 2016 SR5 Tundra. Really like this truck and can't wait to start towing our Oliver Elite II around the lower 48 with this Truck. This Tundra has bucket seats, rear camera, center console, 38 gallon fuel tank, spray -in bed liner, and all weather mats. Will post about towing the Ollie with the Tundra in the towing section. Here's a few photos on the way home from the dealership today:

Here's our Elite II, the LP copper plumbing is different compared to the Elite. Checked between the copper lines and black sleeve around wires contacting copper lines and did not find any issues. Water heater: Furnace:

Dave, Will check mine and post a photo. Thanks!

Buzzy, Would like to see his rig. Also have a 1st generation Tacoma we currently tow the bike on a 4X8 motorcycle trailer. Need a very large campsite with Ollie, TV and Tacoma/motorcycle rig when camping locally. Thanks, Robert, Will check out your rig. Thanks! Understand the anti venom only works once with a Black Widow. True story, I was bitten by a Bat riding a Dual Sport motorcycle to Batcave, NC early one morning. Had to get all of the rabies shots. :) Don't have to worry about this kind of stuff happening cooking bacon. :) Edit: Just checked out Robert's rig, very nice. Bet you have to look in the mirror to be sure the Ollie is still there while towing with that nice TV! :)

We saw an advertisement and the Lady was wearing Bacon Jewelry. If I ever see any, will get some for my Wife. She's a Farmer's daughter and they use to Hickory Smoke Virginia Hams along with side meat (Bacon). It's goooood! On the motorcycle/pickup cover topic, been struggling with how to take a 500 pound sport touring motorcycle on camping trips. We have a Leer Shell on our Crew Cab pickup with 5.5' bed. Thinking about buying a pickup with 6.5' bed to haul the motorcycle, but will miss the pickup shell, too. Will follow this thread to help make our final decision.

Furrion Faultsmart 30A Electrical Cable Plug
rideandfly replied to rideandfly's topic in General Discussion
Used the RV 30A/110V to 110V plug adapter with the 30A RV Circuit Analyzer. The house circuit/110V adapter check out OK. Checked voltage coming out of the Furrion 30A cable and it's the same as the outlet it's plugged into, moving/wiggling complete cable while checking voltage. The Furrion 30A RV cable red & blue LEDs are not working. Thanks Everyone! Circuit Analyzer using 110V 30A RV adapter plugged into home outlet:
