Not sure - orientation of the camera when the picture was taken perhaps? Bill

JD - I rotated your pics for you but let me know if they are not in the correct orientation and I will further adjust them. Bill

JD - I rotated your pics for you but am not sure that they now align with your wording and/or are in the proper orientation. Let me know if they need more work. Bill

CB - I camped at Blue Spring for about 15 years in a row while attending "Bike Week" in Daytona. It really is a nice place! However, that's not why I'm answering 😄. I've not had that screen out since last Spring - but - from what I remember you don't remove those clips since (I think) they are what holds the screen in place. As you have already found out - this is not all that easy, either removing or re-inserting. Try positioning the screen as close to its final position as you can, squash the screen and bottom clip into the track and then (either with your finger or something thin and flexible) squash the top spring/clip into the track while pushing the frame of the screen out. Hopefully that will "pop" it back into place. Of course I'm assuming that your screen is like mine and that was not changed when Oliver changed the windows. Good luck! Bill p.s. once it pops back into place you can then "slide" it into its final original position - this is also not that easy but it will go.

P.S. I should have mentioned above: Stay away from the Rand McNally RV GPS. I understand that they have recently stopped supporting their RV GPS units even though they continue to sell them. See THIS Video on YouTube. Bill

Any chance of getting a picture of the famous Emma?

THIS is getting eggcruciating!

John - There are threads here on the Forum about the relatively new Garmin 890 (which I have)(simply type 890 in the search box). In this Garmin - along with several other models related to RV's - they allow you to input the size of the tow vehicle along with the size of the RV. This is then used by the Garmin to determine which roads just might not be suitable for that specific combination. However, they do not ask for things like engine size or even the specific model of tow vehicle. This means that even though your combination just might be the same length as mine, yours might have a smaller engine which would possibly make towing up certain grades a bit more difficult than I would experience. I'm not aware of any GPS device that takes ALL factors into consideration. Having said this - the Garmin does do a good job relative to height restrictions, narrow roads and road grade warnings. I wouldn't be without mine! Bill

If I were in your shoes - I'd call the Sales staff and ask the question about height making sure that they know that you are ready to place an order given the information they might provide. Good luck! Bill

Since you have the composting toilet - instead of using a "regular" RV drain hose you might want to consider getting a drain hose cap like THIS ONE so that you can use a regular garden hose to dump that grey water. A garden hose is easier to store, easier to move around and overall eaiser to deal with as compared to the regular RV sewer hose. Bill

Nice number and interesting name! It won't be long now. Bill

Emma's going to love the Ollie! Hopefully you have been reading all that you can in the Oliver University and here on the Forum. June 15th really is just right around the corner. If the Oliver is your first camper then you might want to take a look at a new YouTube video by "Keep Your Daydream" concerning the "stuff" you will need when first starting to camp (This One). Let us know if we can help you in any way and welcome to the Family! Bill

There are a couple of old sayings concerning discounts: 1. Always give the person a chance to say "no". 2. You never know until you ask. Bill

Nice trip with a fair number of miles and stops. Glad all went well. If you were using that little bubble level that is in the front jack to level the camper, note that it requires readjustment from time to time. This is done by getting the camper level (using another leveling device) and then turning the three screws on top of the front jack in order to get the bubble in the exact center. Bill

Terry - I think this is a great idea. And, I think that your idea of placing a "safety wire" or "securing device" of some sort on the handles is a good idea. The reason for this is that as you drive down the road and hit a bump, there will be some compression and slack created in the chain as the tow vehicle and trailer "bounce" at different times. When the "bounce" creates slack in the chain it might be enough to allow the handle to come loose thus creating undesired slack until you stop for put the handle back in its tight position. Bill

You do realize that this huge black umbilical cord was the connection from "Hal's" eye (TV) to his hidden brain laying elsewhere between the hulls so that we mere mortals can't get to it? 🤔 Bill

Absolutely! I've been using the ones from the bumper for 6 years now. However, the original pool noodles I used on the solar panels gave out after about 4 years. So, I replaced them with a set of larger diameter ones I was able to purchase at the end of the pool season last year for less than 1/2 price. Bill

There could be a ton of reasons for that condensation. In any case I'd take some steps to dramatically reduce it by either getting more air in there (via a fan preferably with a heater) and/or something like DampRid ( Like THIS) or both. There shouldn't be anymore moisture in that area than there is in your "attic" area. And, if you remove the partition on the left side of the attic - easy to do with the removal of one or two bolts - you should be able to get to the back side of those wires fairly easily. This should allow you to pull the excess into the area behind the partition thus hiding them easily. Just to be on the safe side - I'd also give the ends of those connections a good wrapping of electrical tape to prevent them from touching each other and/or getting dirt, water or other stuff on them. Once you are done there, it is simple to put that partition back in place with the one or two bolts. However, before I replaced mine I put extra insulation in any areas that I could reach using spray glue (like THIS) making sure to use insulation that would repel water. Bill

Hopefully someone that has one of these can give you complete directions. In the meantime - I know that on my "simple" microwave from 2016 there is a flange at the top middle of the microwave that was bolted into the cabinet. This was/is the main source of support with the outer trim piece and its four screws only being for looks and the support of that face plate. Assuming that your microwave is attached in a similar manner it is no surprise that you can't get it out. I'd give a call to Service on Monday unless someone here can give you detailed instructions. Bill

In your position - I'd watch a couple of videos on YouTube like THIS ONE from Dexter. Good luck! Bill p.s. Its a messy job but not hard.

Welcome to the Family as a fully fledged member. By the time you get down to the Owner's Rally you will be a pro and looking for ideas on even more things that you can do to her. Hope to see you there! Bill

The lug nuts that Oliver uses are stainless steel clad and should not rust. Yes, these are not quite as shiny as chrome but the first dirt road will take of that issue.😃

First - be safe! Second - have fun! Third - let us know if we can help! Fourth - have plenty of cold beer available at the Rally! 😁

Using pool noodles and a couple of zip ties solved this problem for me.

There's something "funny" here but I just can't seem to put my finger on it!🙃 The folks with a Nature's Head don't want things too wet while the folks with the standard toilet don't want things too dry?
