  1. Lee - When you get to that "home page" simply scroll all the way to the bottom of that page and look on the right side of the screen - here you should see "Rewards Login" under the word "Company" that is in white lettering. Hope this helps. Bill p.s. Matt no longer works full time for Oliver - therefore, it may take awhile for him to get back to you. Jason might be able to help sooner.
  2. Lee - please see the post above by Matt Duncan dated July 10, 2023. That should answer most of your questions. Bill p.s. if you still have questions - simply send Jason Essary or Matt Duncan a private message (PM)
  3. There are plenty of Forum members that drive GMC stuff. What is your question/concern? Bill
  4. Different stokes for different folks.... Some of us like being very close to our camping neighbors and all of the noise, crowd, congestion, only add to the enjoyment and the amenities (i.e. pool, snack bar, miniature golf, etc. are wonderful. While others prefer not being able to see another carbon based life form and believe that nature provides more than any human could ever imagine. Of course, there are also those that are between these two extremes. Our Olivers give us choices and I believe that this is one of the best features of these great campers. Bill
  5. = Regulator. if you mean to NOT have the automatic change over feature of this Regulator engaged then this "little lever" should point to the tank that you would like to use. When that tank is empty then simply move the "little lever" such that it points to the other tank. Bill
  6. According to "The Dyrt" the top three are: 1 - Cougar Rock 2 - Ohnanpecosh 3 - La Wis Wis Note that I've never been to any of these. Bill
  7. THIS is the 2024 Garmin inReach SOS Year in Review. While there is a bit of "sales" in this for their system, it does give information on activities that "caused" SOS to be triggered. Bill
  8. 🥶 You've had more snow in one day than we have had all winter (so far).
  9. Is THIS the link to Road Active Suspension you were looking for? Bill
  10. There is also a slightly reduced risk of an accident that might be caused by a spark. Aluminum doesn't spark as easily as a steel tank. Bill
  11. Worthington Industries lists a 30# steel tank at 23.3 lbs tare weight (empty) and a 30# aluminum tank at 16.5 lbs Tare weight. 6.8 lb difference x 2 tanks = 13.6 lbs Sorry I didn't check a 20 vs a 30. Bill
  12. Gen11 - Great looking Ollie! And, welcome to the Forum along with your new baby! Did you report those 4 UFO's in the sky of the middle pic?😉 Bill
  13. Yep - even a fairly large pair of "Vice-grips" pliers could get the double nut off. But it would still take more time than simply turning that stock "star" nut. Bill
  14. Sorry - I should have noted that I was referring to the spare tire. Bill
  15. A very quick and easy "security" item is to simply purchase a stainless steel nut for the threaded post coming out of the back of the Ollie. Still using the "wheel" nut that came stock, just double nut it with the new stainless nut. Not too many crooks out there carry a wrench big enough for that nut. Bill
  16. Absolutely! Caution - when picaridin is wet (out of the container and/or before it dries on clothing) it is toxic to cats.☠️😿 I spray my fishing gear and camp cloths about three days before I depart for my trip. The claimed time that it is still effective, even after up to 6 washings, seems correct. But, I've not tested this by actually sitting out in the marsh waiting for these creatures to carry me off towards the sunset! And, remember that your exposed skin is still out there subject to dissection.😬 Bill
  17. Have you taken a look at THIS YouTube Video? Bill
  18. Vince & Beth - You are #1 on the list. If no one wants all 6 nights then we'll see how the Park wants to handle making sure that you get the site. I figure we'll give it a week or so to make sure that anyone that is interested in a nice spot has a chance to get it. Bill
  19. THIS is the stuff use on my cloths every year when going to the western mountains to fly fish. Once dry it doesn't stink or even smell at all, does a good job with ticks, black flies and mosquitos. Bill
  20. Thanks! Yep! Bummer! Certainly I will be there in 2026. Hopefully someone can use this site. Bill
  21. THIS SITE HAS NOW BEEN TAKEN Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend this year's Rally.😪 But, before I cancel my campsite reservation I thought that I'd let anyone know that might be interested so that they could grab a very nice site down by the lake. The details are as follows: Site number - E35 (30-50 amp electric, water and sewer) Arrive April 29, 2025 Depart May 5, 2025 # of days total - 6 nights Let me know if you are interested and we'll figure out how to get the site to you. Bill p.s.
  22. There's a thread here on the Forum that deals with the installation of an on/off switch for this detector. This sure does make dealing with that errant detector a 2 or 3 in the morning a bunch easier. Note that the pic below shows the bracket for the switch with the opeing for the detector in the background. Also note that it is good practice in using this switch you also have a method of warning yourself that the detector has been turned off and that there is actually NO propane and/or CO present. 2 inch square bracket for propane switch.PDF
  23. Some years ago we had a discussion of this here on the Forum (I'm too lazy now to go look for it). In addition to what Patriot has above, a kit should include at least two shark bite 1/2 inch 90 degree elbows, two or three straight 1/2 inch shark bite connectors and one or two shark bite "plugs" to be used to cap off a water line. One might also include a small piece of 120 to 200 grit sandpaper for smoothing the exterior/interior edges of the pex. For those unfamiliar with shark bite fittings - these allow you to simply push them on (i.e. no clamping required). There was a whole discussion as to the appropriateness of shark bite fitting for RV travel. Even though I've never had to use my "emergency plumbing kit" it would be my intent to replace the shark bite fittings with something more permanent once I arrive back home. Bill p.s. I put all of the shark bite pieces, sandpaper, pipe cutter etc. in a plastic bag and then attached that bag to the lengths of pex with tape. Then I placed that "bundle" down in the area below the water pump.
  24. Nicely done! Now - work on that big blue "G".😁
