Pat and Danielle - Welcome to the Family! As Mike said - the 9 months will go by before you know it. Now would be a great time to start reading all that is available here on the Forum and in the Oliver University. Many of your questions will be answered and some questions that you probably would not think of will be generated by this activity. Then, on your delivery date, you will be well prepared to start enjoying your new Ollie right away. Bill

I'll second this with the exception that I'm fairly certain that I maintain something more than "light chain tension". To date absolutely no issues with these links, my hitch ball nor my frame brackets. Bill

Actually, it is fairly amazing that it took five years for that wire to become detached enough for it to stop working. And, it does not appear that there was any "arching" on the end of that wire. Bill

Glad ya got your flame back! I always carry a small can of compressed air with me in my tool kit. A few years ago a small piece of "stuff" (most likely rust) just happened to settle on the igniter sensor of my fridge. This "shorted out" that sensor therefore not allowing the burner to ignite - so - no cooling in the fridge. Being careful to NOT blow back into the gas burner jet I used the compressed air to blow out that entire area and it has worked fine since. Now, every year after Twist sits in storage for more than a month I do this "blow out" as a part of routine maintenance and all has been good. Bill

NCeagle - One "easy" way to find all of your posts is to click on your avatar. When your page opens, look for a white box on the right side of the screen that says "See My Activity" and click on it. Bill

You can do a bedliner coating in just about any color you want to include white. Perhaps the one that you are referring to was done in black - I thought that it would be really ugly until I saw it and I didn't think that it looked too bad. THIS is but one example. Bill

Erika E - I assume that you are asking about weep holes that are actually at the top of the windows (these windows could be installed so that they opened in either direction depending on which side was down and thus the top weep holes needed to be plugged). I think that a simple call to the Oliver Service department will solve your problem. Bill

Twist likes it too!

There is zero difference between the two layouts relative to the space between the kitchen counter and the dinette. The differences take place from the rear edge of the pantry to the rear of the Ollie. Bill

While there are no "bad" sales people at Oliver - if anyone can help you it is Anita. Good luck!

Yes the ac will use the Easy Start any time it powers up regardless of the source of power.

Welcome to the family and for the nice comments. Since you have found the Forum I assume that you are already familiar with the Oliver University. If not - there is a ton of important information there that will help you when you get your Oliver. Let us know if you have questions! Bill

Welcome Leo! That is one great hull number that I'm sure has a bunch of stories to tell and even more stories to yet enjoy. Nice to have you as part of the family. Bill

Since the year 2000 it has been recommended that at 3pm (local time) every American pause for at least one minute to remember. Certainly even with all of the "other" things that we have to do we can all find that one minute out of our busy day to remember.

There are several owners that over the years have changed the "Oliver" on that lens to say something else - in my case "Twist". A local sign shop can easily make up a decal that will fit the space and say what you want. Bill

Before I found Oliver I took a look at the Little Snoozy camper (made in South Carolina). While a few owners of the Snoozy have put propane into that camper, they do not come from the factory with any propane connections in them - they are all electric (kind of). I understand that with a relatively recent change of ownership they are (or are intending to) offer a solar option. If, indeed, your intent is to never boondock or only boondock for very short periods of time going all electric is possible even without spending copious amounts of money on solar. Bill

Coffee, beer, wine, nachos, Cheetos, popcorn and donuts. If my wife is coming along then some other stuff. 😇

Yep! Most of the people in camp grounds are there to - camp? When I camp I certainly have a bunch to do - make the fire, make the meal, go for a hike, catch that last fish, lay in the hammock, drink that adult beverage, and the list goes on and on - it just never ends! The gall, the nerve of some people making me wait for them to back into a site! Don't they understand that I've got things to do which are certainly much more important than their backing safely into a site? Courtesy? Politeness? Concern for my fellow human? Nah - I've got "really important" things to do.😬

Don't EVER let someone rush you - that is really when bad things happen. Usually a smile and a wave will settle things down a bit, but, having someone(s) watching you only adds to the amount of pressure that you may be feeling. So, the answer to your question is - it depends. Its all good advice from those above depending on the particular situation. Bill

Ralph - You might want to PM Patriot in that he recently replaced one of his "touch lights" to see if he has any pointers for you. Bill

Jim - I, for one, certainly do not mind those photos - very nicely done! Bill

Just watch out for that "dog"!😵

Back in the day when these trays only came with one latch, there was discussion about what was to be done in the event that single latch failed. This led to simply drilling a hole in about the same place as your shackle is pictured and placing a stainless bolt through that hole. It works! Bill

I know the feeling - sort of.... On interstate 70 just west of Warrenton, MO (St. Louis area), there is a Pilot gas station. It simply doesn't matter if I need gas or not, I just got to stop - they have fresh Kettle Corn! After all, ya can't eat a pocket knife. 🤩

BoB - Exactly why do you keep picking the lower of the two numbers?😁 Is traffic EVER not weird?🙄
