What "spin" and by whom? You're entitled to your opinion and so are others. Bill

OK - It appears that there were a few "issues" but mainly it was a combination of storage and technical data base things that were the source. It now appears that all is back to normal thanks to the great work (again) by Jason W. Bill

Obviously- from the post above the ability to upload photos is also back with us. I missed you guys/gals! Bill

I don't - yet - know what the problem(s) were but we are back in business. At least as far as the main Forum goes. Regret the downtime. I will post more when I know it. Bill

All I know to tell you is for you to re-read THIS. Sorry - but - that is all I know. Bill

All I can tell you is that Jason W has been working on the problem. If I had to guess - Jason can only do so much with our interface to the part of the servers that he has access to while the people that are at the server site are (probably) not there due to the Easter holiday. Please bare with us as we try to get the problem(s) sorted out. Bill

Take a look at THIS thread. A list of all the annual services can be found here along with the approximate price. The specific post is about 6 down from the top. Bill

Strangest looking rabbit I've ever seen! AKA - the Easter buck. 🐰 Our uploading "issues" continue this morning but I know that Jason W. has been working on it. Bill

Working on that problem now - hopefully the upload function will be restored soon - I'll keep everyone advised about this in the related thread. Bill

Approximately 40 minutes ago I received a message from Jason W. requesting more information on the problem we are having uploading photos to the Forum. Even though I told Jason to enjoy his Easter weekend, I know from past experience that he will be working on this issue. I'll keep everyone updated on the progress if and when it occurs. Thanks for your patience and understanding. Bill

From what I've heard - you folks need the moisture. Still - no one likes "crappy wet snow"! 🤠

Thanks for the pics! I assume that the tank was full - or nearly full? What kind of roads were you on? In either case - this should not have happened. Bill

Pete - If you are talking about the "open" storage tray sold by Oliver, then a call or email to Oliver Service will get you the answer you seek. However, if you are talking about a "closed" storage box (i.e. something with a lid, then note that Oliver has never (that I know of) sold such a thing. Closed boxes can be found in a number of places and there are many examples here on the Forum. With reference to your "low pressure" issue - there has recently been a fairly involved thread here on the Forum about this very issue. This thread can be found HERE - (simply left click on the word Here and it will take you to that thread). Bill

I just checked and we are still having the issues with uploading pictures this morning. I'm sure that Jason W. will work on the problem as soon as he is able and I will let everyone know when its fixed. Sorry for the delay. Bill p.s. Apparently Rideandfly found a way around the uploading problem by using a program called "Smugmug".

Yes - there is one for the F-150. While it is not the Ford system, I do have a camera mounted just above the license plate. When mounting a camera in this location you should note that the tire cover is not perpendicular to the road - it is at a 6 degree angle (tilted in at the bottom. I partially compensated for this by using a piece of Delran and imbedded the camera into it. In turn, the camera sends its signal via WiFi to a tablet or phone in the cab of the truck. Note that there are a couple of "issues" with this mounting location - 1. because of the relatively low angle, you can not see much past the vehicle that is directly behind you while traveling down the road. 2. when it rains, the camera is subject to so much road spray that it becomes virtually useless. However, on the positive side - this camera location is great for those tight campsites you need to back into. Bill

You're welcome. JD1923 was also having issues with uploading. I'll let everyone know when the issue(s) get resolved. Bill

Apparently we are having "issues" with the ability to upload photos at the moment. Jason W. (the person at Oliver who helps us with Forum platform issues and other stuff) has been notified. But given the holiday weekend this just might take a bit of time to correct. Sorry for the problem! Bill

So - That explains the electrodes on the side of your neck! 😂

I wonder just how many National Park stickers I can buy for that?😉

Can you tell us how much? Biil

Does this good news change the number of units produced in a year?😉

I understand that during Covid the peak production was about 7 per week. Recently production is between 2 and 3 per week. Bill

That did not age well. In defense of Steve - Note that the moderators are no different than any other member of the Forum. Yes, from time to time the moderators will be given information by Oliver that is not necessarily in the public domain. But, even in the rare situation when this happens the information is generally given in confidence. In many cases, any information that the moderators might have has been developed from reliable sources and years of association with Oliver. And, there are very few of us that have as much history with Oliver as does Steve. In October, 2023 Steve's comment reflected Oliver's official stance on the subject. Finally, yes, October was a fairly short time ago. But, we all know how fast things can change in today's market. Bill

And here I always thought that the purpose of the accmulator was to even out the pressure in the water line. and had little to do with the amount of water stored in that little tank. If what I thought is true then that helps explain why you didn't see any marked improvement when you added the second tank. Bill

The name of the anti-rattle device is: Hitch-Vice The name of the company that makes it is: Hitchrider.com After a couple of years of use, the bolts showed that they were bending. So, I replaced them with grade 8 bolts and also added a couple of nyloc nuts to help keep things tight. Bill
