  1. That one looks better than THIS ONE that I bought. And, it is less expensive too! Bill
  2. 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.

  4. 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

  6. This makes for another "visual" that is somehow inappropriate. 😳
  7. 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.
  8. 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
  9. OK - so I just gave him a second thumbs up for you - you owe me one for use later.
  10. Crap! Now I've got something else to worry about!😇
  11. 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
  12. For anyone that now owns an 890 - Garmin has released a system update and it takes about 10 minutes to complete the install. Bill

  14. 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

  15. Almost the entire original Southern Cross album is good.
  16. Nice to have you here! I'd bet that since you must know something about the TN State Parks you also know of a few really nice "local" places to take that brand new Ollie. Let us know if we can help. Bill
  17. Yep - these "chain covers" are actually a mesh. Therefore, they are certainly not sealed from the elements. If your chain was rusting before putting these over the chains then they will still be rusting when you take the covers off (if you ever do that). However, you will not see that rust and the covers are easily cleaned with a strong stream of water and/or a light brush. Bill p.s. My cover don't look any different than they did the first day I installed them a couple of years ago.

  19. GJ- The Rock Tamers have a couple of "bolts" that are supposed to be used to both "lock" the Tamers in place and to help "level" everything. In my case, I had to install a couple of small shims in order to get it looking level with the rear bumper. There is absolutely no problem with the backup camera and the "zoom" feature still works great when hitching. However, the bars at the top of the Rock Tamers do interfere with the sensors in the bumper. This causes them to "sense" that I'm too close to something and they sound an "alert" whenever I put the truck into reverse. I could adjust these so that they would sit below the level of these sensors but I don't like the looks of them that way. So, I simply put up with the warning.
  20. Make love not
  21. But I still think about just how many IPA's or bottles of Kim that is just being burned.🤑

  23. That does bring a certain visual!
  24. Shame that Charlie is no longer with us. Hopefully the devil didn't get his due.
