If we changed this poll from "miles" to "smiles" - I bet that we'd be in the millions!

The best person to answer this question is your sales rep at Oliver (in the event that there have been any recent changes). Bill

Over the years we have had a couple of Oliver owners with these same issues which were discussed on this Forum. Hopefully they will respond to your question with updates and insights. Bill

"Outcast"? I've had two 3.5 liter Ford Ecoboost F-150's and nary an issue with either of them towing my Elite II. Your truck will have zero problems towing it. Bill

Another possibility could be that with the cold temp propane does not vaporize as fast. Combine that with the altitude and ??? Having said this, I have never had an issue with altitude (up to 11,000 feet) nor cold (down to 28 degrees). I have experienced a combination of altitude (roughly 8,000 feet) plus cold (about 28 degrees) and had no issues with the heater nor the fridge - sorry but I didn't use the water heater that time. The first thing I would do at this point would be to use compressed air to blow out any dust/debris in the burner areas of both. Also, you could try lighting them during the warmer part of the day to see if that was the issue. Good luck. Bill

Another "possible" but VERY UNLIKELY explanation is that the frame brackets somehow shifted to the rear. Bill

And - that is Matt Duncan's (Oliver's Director of Marketing) favorite beer! You really know how to roll!

Looking really good with that Tennessee orange in a nice dry site. Hope there is a nice cold adult beverage in that cooler! Bill

I hate to say this but on the very rare occasion that I've run into problems with my Andersen it has also been raining. Perhaps those chains shrink?😁 Seriously - If I'm having trouble I simply loosen the nuts several turns, attach the whaletail and then re-adjust those nuts my "standard" number of threads showing. Bil

Dean - Do I read a hint of a move from Casita to Oliver in this sentence? A new Tundra with a new Oliver sure would look nice. Bill

Reminds me of several years ago while I was camped near Holy Cross City and it rained for four days straight - 🙃 There have been a couple of posts here on the Forum about how to wire charging from the TV - try searching lithium Tow Vehicle charging. Bill

Just be sure to NOT ask for directions or your "Man Card" will be at risk 😆 Shame that CA is not all that close to FL in that in a couple of weeks you could see a bunch of Ollies all in one place. Bill

I'm excited for you! Delivery day is really special and exciting. Just take your time and try to have fun. Things should be a bit easier with the camping area right outside the delivery area. This should give you even more time to re-check everything - just to make doubly sure. I trust pics will be forth coming. Bill

I always wondered who had that number! The charge controller on the solar panels should "regulate" the amount of charge coming from the panels - so - nothing to do there. Keep an eye on the charge amount coming from your "plug-in charger" - most of the modern ones have either a analog meter which tells you the state of charge or some sort of "idiot light" step-up that does the same. In any case, if it is a modern battery charger it should not cook or over charge you batteries. Using the supplied clamps from the charger, simply clip one to the positive and then the other to the negative posts that are used to attach the main cables going to the Ollie. Bill

There just might be a couple of reasons for the odor. Perhaps the easiest thing to do would be to get a grey tank odor treatment and try that following the directions - something like THIS - available at most RV places, Amazon and many Walmarts. The next thing is to look at the vent to make sure that it isn't clogged and/or the vacuum breaker under the sink to make sure it is operating. Good luck. Bill

Ralph - Glad you found and fixed the problem but sad that it happened in the first place. Keep a close eye on that fiberglass (particularly the gelcoat in that it is more brittle than the glass itself) over the next 1,000 miles or so. Bill

JamesO - You might due better to send a private message (PM) to Foy-Mirna just to make sure that they see it and can advise you accordingly. In another thread, Foy posted that there was an opening for the entire event due to a cancellation but I do not know if that is still available. As a general comment, since anyone (like myself) who is arriving on Friday can not check-in for a camping spot until 1pm, it is unlikely that most Olivers will be setup prior to 2 pm. And, with the Friday night dinner starting at 5pm, there will not be much time for you to meet, hear and look. Bill

Yes. I had repacked the bearings on the RV below just prior to this trip of 5,000 miles. I was headed east on I-70 just outside of Hays, KS and two young guys drove by telling me to pull over - the passenger side bearings had totally come apart and the whole thing was just about to catch fire. The up side of this was that I got to spend the weekend in Hays and when I got home I immediately purchased a TPMS. Between the tow and the replacing of the bearings it "only" cost me $650 and that was after AAA gave me $75 towards the tow. (Note where the spindle is relative to the hub)

Nothing like taking the long road "home". I'm a bit envious. Bill

One of the issues with shedding is getting fur (or hair) on the "sail switch" in the furnace. Besides using JD's advice above regarding filters, a small can of compressed air could come in handy for blowing off the switch. Bill

I did the same with taking one into NAPA - no issues at all. While you're at it, buy a couple of extras just in case one of them gets plugged. Bill

Weird - A couple of years ago I was having "issues" with the remote display. Like you, Progressive sent me a new remote display. Before receiving it (shipment only took a few days) I found that the negative cable wasn't tight on the protector. I tightened that but didn't test it before installing the new display. In any case - I've not had a problem since. Good luck. Bill

A big welcome to the family! Indeed, you two are very lucky (sorry that I can't say the same for the person with the health issue). Take your time with your new baby and it will treat you well. You have many adventures ahead. Bill

Steve & Ann - I didn't get the street side awning. I really don't camp very much in places where it is really hot (desert SW for instance) and where I do camp without much shade I'm usually at altitude. In addition, I really don't even use the curbside awning very much since I'm out all day either fishing or hiking. I see that you have Hank. If he is going to be with you and if you are going to be leaving him in the Ollie while you are out, those awnings do help to keep the interior cooler versus what it would be without the awnings. Also, if you generally camp in "normal", organized campgrounds then there will be those times that either due to the sun's direction or the kind of site you are in, the street side awning just might come in handy. Bottom line - for me - I'm glad I didn't spend that money to get it. Bill

Yes, Actually there have been several but I think one of the more complete and/or recent was from John Davies. Search his posts. Bill edit - try THIS for starters
