    Glad you got Snowball out! With regards to the water pump switch near the outside shower - ScubaRx has done that mod and I've been meaning to do it myself. Perhaps - if you are going to the Rally we can get Steve to give us a little show and tell. Can't be too hard - its just a switch or two. Bill

    Matt - When you have more details regarding the TV schedule, please post them (i.e. exactly when the Oliver might be featured). Not only would this be nice to see, but, we could pass the word along to non-Oliver people that just might be interested. Bill

    WOW! Right you are - were. Looks like Jason and/or Matt got on it and things are getting back to normal. Bill

    Kathy - Clair has now "officially" been added to the list and the great news is that this now qualifies ALL of us for a discount on the regular price. I am going to wait until our deadline of Wednesday at high noon to finalize everything with the Park. Just after I call them I will post here exactly what everyone owes and the total details as to where we should meet etc. Thanks for joining the group, Clair! Perhaps we can make Kathy the official photographer? We now have the ten "new" people the Park required plus the two that made reservations previously for a total of 12. If anyone else is interested prior to high noon Wednesday (April 25th) we can have as many as 15 total. Bill

    Debbie - Consider yourself added! Now, all we need is one more brave person for that discount. Discount or not I've got the list and am ready to gooooooooo. Bill

    Yeah for Rob and Vicki! I thought that because of the them we all can share in a 10% discount! Unfortunately, two of the ten we presently have had already made and paid for a reservation. The Park is insisting that in order to get this discount we have a total of 10 NEW people. So, let's beat the bushes and get two more. At least the Park agreed to let us have until Wednesday (April 25th) at high noon to add the two additional people. Looks like a great group so far! If anyone else would like to join us (up to another 5 people) just let me know (here or via a PM) and I will take care of the arrangements. Bill

    Just came across this new video. Just who is that doing the narration?

    Less than 24 hours left to get in on the "Screaming Oliver" zip line group. Either PM me or simply post here if you have interest in joining us no later than 12 noon tomorrow (Sunday) April 22. Thanks! Bill

    To anyone who is still thinking about risking life and limb on the zipline - we need a couple of more fools (sorry - I meant to say folks) to join us and could accommodate up to 7 or so. Our reservation is for 1pm on Saturday May 5th and we are "doing" level two. The cost is $99 per person unless we get at least 10 (presently we are at 7 or 8) in order to get the 10% group discount. However, you must let me know no later than Sunday, April 22 at high noon (sounds ominous doesn't it?) if you want to join us. Bill

    OK, so, here we go! I just called the Zipline people and for Saturday May 5th we have a "reservation" for 1pm. If we can get a total of 10 people to take advantage of this "reservation" we will each receive a discount of 10% off the standard $99 fee. In looking at those that have expressed interest, we do have a total of ten, but, Mike and Krunch have already made a reservation for Sunday at 10am. In order to not interfere with any Oliver related presentations, the Saturday afternoon at 1pm is about our only choice. Two other stipulations on getting the discount is that we pay with one check or credit card and that we confirm the reservation (with payment) no later than Sunday (April 22) at 2pm. I would be happy to be the "banker" and everyone can simply write me a check or pay me cash. Either PM me or simply reply directly here. Bill p.s. the people at the zipline told me that from start to finish we can expect to take between 2 and 4 hours.

    Certainly I feel your pain. When one reads the story about the Outlaw Oliver and the "custom" work that was done there (and elsewhere) and compares that to what appears to be the current situation, I'm sure that it can be a bit frustrating. Even what appear to be fairly simple requests are met with the same response - "no". However, it seems to me that this looks like a case of "be careful of what you ask for". We, as a group, clamored for better quality and subjected the Company to a fair amount of abuse/criticism (justified or not) over these types of issues. Then, when the Company decides to concentrate on quality by limiting the number of deviations from the norm (custom work), once again we find ourselves in the position of not liking the result. Hopefully, one day, the Company will once again find itself in a position where they can accept custom work. I believe that I have a better, more comfortable and enjoyable camper because of the suggestions of the owners that came before me. But, in the final analysis, I'd rather have a quality unit that I can then modify and or customize later than a lesser built unit with a bunch of bells and whistles. Bill p.s. cool logo!

    I suspect that a 44 magnum would work a bunch better.

    David - going to miss you guys. Perhaps one of these days I'll get that Gin and Tonic you owe me! Hope the shoulder rehab goes well.. It sure is no fun - I've had both done (rotator cuff). Bill
  14. topgun2
    Or, have a few as "door prizes" at the Rally?

    Alison - Perhaps you are correct - I was only trying to clarify what the meaning of "special tire ramps" was. I've never used these to change a tire on either previous stick builts I owned or my Oliver. If I had to guess I would think that the "plus" version of the referenced model just might actually get the job done. Certainly it would get the camper high enough and take most of the weight so that a regular jack would not have to support quite as much. Hopefully I will never have to need one. Bill

    Fritz - I'm only 6' even so I'm perhaps not the person that can best answer your question based on length. I do have plenty of room at both the top and bottom. However, I can say that I originally started sleeping with my head towards the rear of the camper (at the rounded corner end) but changed to sleep in the other direction. I like to sleep with elbows out near my head. This caused me to bang one or the other elbow on either the nightstand or on the rounded corner. Once I flipped direction there have been no further issues. Bill

    Stan - Don't throw that "point" away! We can combine it with the "coin" that I got and get a milkbone for your pup. Bill

    Cindy & Russel (and Harley) - There has been a fairly lengthy discussion on that very subject here. I believe that John Davies was either the originator or had things to say in that regard. You might want to PM him. Good luck. Bill

    Since there are upwards of 80 Olivers registered for the Rally, we are obviously missing a number of campers. In any case, thanks to both Greg and Donna for the work in getting this thing put together. And to Chris for being such a good stalker. Bill

    Overland - Since I didn't get a chance to test mine sine the install I sure do hope you get this figured out within the next week or so. Sorry I'm of no help but I think that Mark (and you) are on the right track for getting to the bottom of the issue. Bill

    Western North Carolina has had about 2 inches of RAIN today and the temperatures are supposed to get down into the mid 30's tonight. However, that's a bunch better than all that snow. We will see high 70's by the middle of this coming week and I really don't mean to rub it in. Somehow someone has really made Mother Nature a bit mad this Spring. Bill
  22. topgun2
    Yes! As Mike & Carol said, come to the Owner's Rally. It will be a great chance to meet other owners and to get a real head start on learning about your new Oliver. You will also get a chance to see a bunch of things that current owners have done to their Olivers and that just may give you ideas for yours. Welcome. Bill p.s. I flipped Harley for you!
  23. topgun2
    No problem - you can always either take a look or book a site online https://guestrez.megahotel.com/Hotel/Reservation/Index/P3R24 or even give them a call today (Sunday) at (800) 252-7275. Don't forget to mention that you are with the Oliver Owner's Rally in order to get a discount on the site fees. Bill
  24. topgun2
    Yes, it is a two step process. 1 - (as you have already done) register with Oliver. 2 - Either go online or call the State Park and register there for your campsite. Bill

    Kind of looks like a "form and function" thing to me. Nice "form" but the "function" part just doesn't seem to make a bunch of sense to me. Bill
