  1. Nice drive shaft and interesting "wet" look to that front left tire.
  2. I doubt it in that you are right that we have only heard about the "death Wobble" issue recently. My comment wasn't really in relation to the Ford Death Wobble issue. I was only making reference to the "wobble" from one lane to the other as stated in the article. Bill
  3. No - I don't think so. In fact, I believe the opposite is true. With experience and the income generated by producing more units, Oliver has instituted a number of QC measures in the past couple of years that have produced needed results. While that effort is not yet (ever?) complete it certainly is better than it was during the period when Oliver was trying to expand rapidly. Bill
  4. Another WELCOME for OLLIEDAY. I too do not have the composting toilet - that sure is a bunch of money for doing things that I've simply not needed in the years that I've owned RV's. However, if you plan to full time AND boondock a bunch then an argument can be made that these types of toilets save water usage. I agree with Mike that the solar option is really useful. This is even the case if you don't plan to boondock in that the solar simply gives you the flexibility to "camp" at WalMarts or other places in the event you have difficulty getting more standard campgrounds.

  5. Just go to Amazon and type in the search box Lacdo 8 inch tablet sleeve OR go HERE
  6. That one looks better than THIS ONE that I bought. And, it is less expensive too! Bill
  7. Meg - First and most important - Welcome! I do not have a shower curtain in my Elite II. Given the smooth walls of the Ollie, it is very easy to simply use a squeegee and/or a synthetic towel to dry the shower after use - about a two minute job. The Easy Start allows you to run the air conditioner off a small generator (2000 watts). If you are going to seriously boondock in hot climates then the Easy Start is something you should seriously consider unless you want to have a generator of at least 3500 watts. No, the microwave is not "permanent" and since Oliver doesn't give you a credit for it if you chose to not have it then I think you might as well get it. However, if you are certain that you really don't want it then the "finished" cabinet is very nice for either a small toaster oven or small microwave or for additional storage that is already fairly limited in the Elite I.

  8. While not exactly northeast of town - don't forget about Merewether Lewis Campground at: 35.52354514962594, -87.45430386645957 There is water available here at the restroom but no electric or dump. It is very quiet and the old Trace is near. Obviously there is also the "old" Oliver sale office where both water and electric are available, but, there is a little highway noise: 35.56355003025139, -87.51889642291667 Bill
  9. This makes for another "visual" that is somehow inappropriate. 😳
  10. Foy - Its been bugging me now for the better part to two years - get rid of those nasty galvanized shackles of yours and replace them with nice stainless steel ones!☺️ https://www.amazon.com/MarineNow-Stainless-Shackle-Anchor-Recovery/dp/B01CGYYQ7K/ref=sr_1_5?dchild=1&keywords=stainless+steel+shackles&qid=1615680988&sr=8-5 Caution - check the size before ordering.
  11. Simple? Open your word editing software - Word - then come back to the Forum and right click on the song you want. In the pop-up window left click on "Copy video URL. Back over to Word and right click then click on "paste". Not "simple" but it will get you all the links to the songs you really want. Bill
  12. OK - so I just gave him a second thumbs up for you - you owe me one for use later.
  13. Crap! Now I've got something else to worry about!😇
  14. GJ - Be a bit careful to not drop your tire pressures too low. According to Goodyear Tires, "Just as colder weather can cause PSI to drop, excessive heat can cause your tire pressure to temporarily increase. For every 10 degrees of increased temperature, your tires can be expected to increase by 1-2 pounds of pressure." Therefore, if your tires increase temperature any more than 10 to 12 psi and there isn't some other mitigating factor (like the tires being in direct sunlight) then the tires are most likely under-inflated. An under-inflated tire is more likely to be the cause of a blow-out given that excessive heat weakens the carcass. Bill
  15. For anyone that now owns an 890 - Garmin has released a system update and it takes about 10 minutes to complete the install. Bill
  16. Although its been forecast for a few days now, it appears as though this "winter" storm that is coming across Colorado and the Midwest is something to be careful with. Hopefully everyone is aware and prepared, Good Luck and please be careful out there! Bill
