  1. @jd1923 There are a number of inaccurate statements in your post above. Specifically, please refer to any number of prior posts here on the Forum regarding the issues and whole story (to include Oliver's involvement ((or lack thereof))) relative to the fresh water tank issue. Hopefully a review of the entire situation will help with your (and/or anyone's) concerns in this regard. March 13, 2018 October 26, 2017 May 5, 2024 Note your participation in this May 5th, 2024 thread. With regards to the "cutouts". I believe that it was sometime in 2018 when Oliver "standardized" their wiring for all Oliver Travel Trailers. Prior to that - for both your Oliver and my Oliver a certified electrical tech was hired to do the wiring on each trailer. Since there were more than one tech (I've been told that there were as many as three at any given time) and since it is doubtful any of these tech had specific RV experience, the wiring and connected "cutouts" were dramatically different from one trailer to the next. Yes, perhaps Oliver should have had a QC person go back and check each tech's work. But, it is fairly obvious that Oliver didn't believe this was necessary given that the tech's were "certified". Once the "cutouts" were "hidden" by cover plates the only way they could be seen would be to take things apart - as you and many of us have done. Same thing (I believe) applies to the circuit breaker issue you mention. While not "perfect" my Oliver continues to serve me extremely well after ten years. If I had not purchased an Oliver I would be on my second or third RV by now and still dealing with trying to make those things into an Oliver. Yes, it is frustrating to deal with someone's carelessness and/or lack of proper technique/skill but it is a fact of life and Oliver through its own quality control system tends to limit most issues of this nature. Finally, From my experience, Oliver has always bent over backwards in helping many owners correct any issues with the trailer. And this extends well beyond what the stated warranty period may reflect. Bill
  2. A & O - Have a great time and safe travels! Tell everyone "HI" for me and I'll see ya in May. Bill
  3. I'll second this - On my tour the frame jig was the very first stop on the tour. While Anita was explaining something, all I could do was "lust" after that frame and the welds. I knew at that moment I was about to shell our some bucks for an Oliver! I figured that if this company did THAT good a job on something that in a finished trailer I would not normally be able to see then the rest of the trailer must be good. Bill
  4. THIS looks like it is the puppy. Bill
  5. Hopefully this is the ad that you guys saw. If not, please let me know. Bill
  6. Good for you guys! Unfortunately, after 30 years of retirement I still have not done even half of those things I always dreamed about. Hopefully you guys do the same. Have fun! Bill
  7. All of you have fun but be very careful out there on those roads - brrrrr 🥶 Bill
  8. Simply using the Forum's Search function get you THIS Just type the word selling into the search box at the top of this page and there are all kinds of ideas for you. Good luck! Bill
  9. Many camping spots have water that is delivered to the spigot at pressures that are higher than you should - safely - use in your Oliver - as @dewdev mentions above. Another thing you could try would be to "open" that pressure regulator - simply lift the grey tab on the top of the regulator. This relives the pressure in the "tank and water lines" inside your Oliver. It also can serve to clear any deposit or debris that may have caused the leak. Then close the grey back to its original position - note that this relief valve tab is most likely "spring loaded". Therefore, it should simply "snap" back into place. Bill
  10. I believe that a download PDF version of this map is available HERE Bill
  11. Blade valve lube works - I've use THIS and another brand or two over the years just following directions on the bottle and the blade operates much easier. I suspect that dumping a small amount of vegetable oil, mineral oil or the like would serve the same purpose but I've never tried that. Bill
  12. Never did like old "Sparky Spots". He tends to jump up and bite you when you least expect it. Bill
  13. No one told you! It's automatic! All you have to do is figure out a way of backing up to it.😁 Welcome to our world and its great to have you as a part of the family. Have a safe trip and if you've not already done so - give the Oliver University a through look. Bill
  14. I'm still working on getting that ad posted here on the Forum so we all can see it. Bill
  15. Give in! Give in! Give in!
  16. A little E6000 on the back and tabs is all it takes to keep these puppies in place - broken tabs or not. Bill
  17. Good for you! What are the odds that the piece of 2x4 would clear the grill and hit the important stuff behind it? Glad you had the JB with you. Also, thanks for the update on the DC to DC charger. Bill
  18. The Harbor Freight 3500 Predator generator is on sale - today only - for $579.99. You can get the coupon HERE. Bill
  19. I'll send a note to Jason W and ask if he has a way of putting that "ad" here on the Forum for all of us to see. Bill
  20. Yep - me too. I recently had occasion to use iOverlander app in the 890 for something other than finding boondocking spots. My source of potable water near Buffalo, WY was closed and in the search for a replacement I took a look at iOverlander "services". There were several water sources listed there and that led me to taking a look at https://ioverlander.com/ . On the website they not only list locations (via icons on a map), but, if you click on an icon you will get additional information from people that have used or stayed at that very spot. Bill
