Different stokes for different folks.... Some of us like being very close to our camping neighbors and all of the noise, crowd, congestion, only add to the enjoyment and the amenities (i.e. pool, snack bar, miniature golf, etc. are wonderful. While others prefer not being able to see another carbon based life form and believe that nature provides more than any human could ever imagine. Of course, there are also those that are between these two extremes. Our Olivers give us choices and I believe that this is one of the best features of these great campers. Bill

= Regulator. if you mean to NOT have the automatic change over feature of this Regulator engaged then this "little lever" should point to the tank that you would like to use. When that tank is empty then simply move the "little lever" such that it points to the other tank. Bill

According to "The Dyrt" the top three are: 1 - Cougar Rock 2 - Ohnanpecosh 3 - La Wis Wis Note that I've never been to any of these. Bill

THIS is the 2024 Garmin inReach SOS Year in Review. While there is a bit of "sales" in this for their system, it does give information on activities that "caused" SOS to be triggered. Bill

🥶 You've had more snow in one day than we have had all winter (so far).

Is THIS the link to Road Active Suspension you were looking for? Bill

There is also a slightly reduced risk of an accident that might be caused by a spark. Aluminum doesn't spark as easily as a steel tank. Bill

Worthington Industries lists a 30# steel tank at 23.3 lbs tare weight (empty) and a 30# aluminum tank at 16.5 lbs Tare weight. 6.8 lb difference x 2 tanks = 13.6 lbs Sorry I didn't check a 20 vs a 30. Bill

Gen11 - Great looking Ollie! And, welcome to the Forum along with your new baby! Did you report those 4 UFO's in the sky of the middle pic?😉 Bill

Yep - even a fairly large pair of "Vice-grips" pliers could get the double nut off. But it would still take more time than simply turning that stock "star" nut. Bill

Sorry - I should have noted that I was referring to the spare tire. Bill

A very quick and easy "security" item is to simply purchase a stainless steel nut for the threaded post coming out of the back of the Ollie. Still using the "wheel" nut that came stock, just double nut it with the new stainless nut. Not too many crooks out there carry a wrench big enough for that nut. Bill

Absolutely! Caution - when picaridin is wet (out of the container and/or before it dries on clothing) it is toxic to cats.☠️😿 I spray my fishing gear and camp cloths about three days before I depart for my trip. The claimed time that it is still effective, even after up to 6 washings, seems correct. But, I've not tested this by actually sitting out in the marsh waiting for these creatures to carry me off towards the sunset! And, remember that your exposed skin is still out there subject to dissection.😬 Bill

Have you taken a look at THIS YouTube Video? Bill

Vince & Beth - You are #1 on the list. If no one wants all 6 nights then we'll see how the Park wants to handle making sure that you get the site. I figure we'll give it a week or so to make sure that anyone that is interested in a nice spot has a chance to get it. Bill

THIS is the stuff use on my cloths every year when going to the western mountains to fly fish. Once dry it doesn't stink or even smell at all, does a good job with ticks, black flies and mosquitos. Bill

Thanks! Yep! Bummer! Certainly I will be there in 2026. Hopefully someone can use this site. Bill

THIS SITE HAS NOW BEEN TAKEN Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend this year's Rally.😪 But, before I cancel my campsite reservation I thought that I'd let anyone know that might be interested so that they could grab a very nice site down by the lake. The details are as follows: Site number - E35 (30-50 amp electric, water and sewer) Arrive April 29, 2025 Depart May 5, 2025 # of days total - 6 nights Let me know if you are interested and we'll figure out how to get the site to you. Bill p.s.

There's a thread here on the Forum that deals with the installation of an on/off switch for this detector. This sure does make dealing with that errant detector a 2 or 3 in the morning a bunch easier. Note that the pic below shows the bracket for the switch with the opeing for the detector in the background. Also note that it is good practice in using this switch you also have a method of warning yourself that the detector has been turned off and that there is actually NO propane and/or CO present. 2 inch square bracket for propane switch.jfif2 inch square bracket for propane switch.jfif2 inch square bracket for propane switch.jfif2 inch square bracket for propane switch.

Some years ago we had a discussion of this here on the Forum (I'm too lazy now to go look for it). In addition to what Patriot has above, a kit should include at least two shark bite 1/2 inch 90 degree elbows, two or three straight 1/2 inch shark bite connectors and one or two shark bite "plugs" to be used to cap off a water line. One might also include a small piece of 120 to 200 grit sandpaper for smoothing the exterior/interior edges of the pex. For those unfamiliar with shark bite fittings - these allow you to simply push them on (i.e. no clamping required). There was a whole discussion as to the appropriateness of shark bite fitting for RV travel. Even though I've never had to use my "emergency plumbing kit" it would be my intent to replace the shark bite fittings with something more permanent once I arrive back home. Bill p.s. I put all of the shark bite pieces, sandpaper, pipe cutter etc. in a plastic bag and then attached that bag to the lengths of pex with tape. Then I placed that "bundle" down in the area below the water pump.

Nicely done! Now - work on that big blue "G".😁

OK - I'm guessing that you are using a cell phone and that is what you did the screen shot that I see above. I did move your profile picture slightly higher for you but if you don't like it there you can simply move it back or let me know and I'll move it for you. Given the height difference between the two of you I do not see a way to get both of your faces in that picture without cropping the picture and moving your faces to the right. Assuming that I'm correct about the cell phone usage - please let me know - I'll have to investigate what can be done (if anything) to get more of your picture visible. Bill

I don't think that I'm absolutely sure of exactly what you are trying to do. However, if you are talking about the photo that is at the top of the page where your profile can be seen and/or changed (by you); you can easily "reposition" this photo (vertically only) by clicking on "cover photo" (located at the top right of the page). Then click on "reposition photo". This allows you to move the photo up and down until you get it positioned exactly where you want it. On the other hand - if you are trying to replace the "G" that shows along with your posts on the Forum then; Go to you profile page (simply click on the offending "G") and then click on that little blue "mountain picture" located at the bottom left of the "G" at the top of your profile page. Another menu page will pop up where you can upload a picture of your choice that will not have that blue "G" in it. Hope this helps! Bill

But - I'm running as fast as I can! And, now you tell me that all this running is for nothing?
