Tideline77 - Which water heater do you have?

Given that there seems to be more people that have missed the deadline this year than usual - please let us know what Jason tells you. Bill

Obviously I was wrong about them liking be best versus Mike - They like you BEST! 😁

Possibly due to various threads here on the Forum - a fair number of owners have replaced the original lug nuts on "older" Ollies. My 2016 was delivered with a lug socket and wrench (this wrench had a neat collapsible handle on it and has been use to move the Andersen whale tail attachment point into the correct position on more than one occasion). But, I replaced the original lug nuts several years ago and now use a "deep" 3/4 inch socket with a proper torque wrench. Bill p.s. Mike - they always liked me best anyway!😁

If you really want to attend - Call Oliver first thing Monday morning at 1-888-526-3978. Good luck! Bill

If Garmin only knew - even you with that Japanese fishing pole might be able to land a couple.😇

I'll try to remember that the next time I'm standing in the shower ankle deep in water because I forgot to open the drain valve.🤪 Bill

FYI - Garmin has released a map update for GPS devices (at least the 890 and the 2797 models). This update must be fair large in that it took about 45 minutes to download and install. Bill

Thanks for letting everyone know! Relax in the knowledge that you are not the first and will not be the last to have this kind of issue. Certainly, I've been in that boat a bunch of times. Bill

Where's the pic of the pup?😀 Bill

THIS is a YouTube video by a fairly well respected person that covers the issues with a lithium conversion. Bill

If you can get the old batteries out of the Oliver - then - you can certainly get the new lithiums back into the Oliver. One of the nice advantages to lithiums is that they weigh much less than a conventional battery of the same size. Bill

Yes - kind of 🙃 Greasing the ball does "defeat" the anti-sway portion of the design a little - maybe. But - Olivers do not sway and with the chains still attached to the outside of the frame any (possible) sway would still be picked up and transmitted through the shaft that goes up to the ball anyway. If your chains happen to be attached to the middle of the frame (a couple of owners have done this), it would (obviously) take a greater amount of movement (sway) of the trailer to "activate" enough friction via that sleeve in order to produce enough heat that would cause enough expansion of the sleeve material to cause a dampening of this movement (sway). Make sense? Bill

Yes - I have. Only once but it did happen. The little ball at the end of the zerk seemed to be virtually welded in place. After changing it out I took the offending zerk into the workshop and it took several "pops" with a small punch and hammer to get it loose. After that I've always used caps on zerks in order to keep "stuff" away from the operating area. Bill

Once you get those little buggers cleared, working or replaced - you might want to consider "zerk caps" like THESE if you don't already have them. If the ones that are "plugged" don't respond to the "normal" grease pressure to free them then I'd use a small punch and a light tap with a hammer to get them free. Of course, I assume that you have already tried the old taking the weight off the wheel, cleaning them, etc. Bill

Many use this space for shampoo and/or liquid soap. I also have a small box of Kleenex type tissue in there. Bill

Is THIS the post you were looking for? Bill

Another way to accomplish this disconnect of the charging circuit from the tow vehicle is to simply remove the fuse for this circuit. I know that this is available in F-150 Fords (sorry but I don't remember the exact fuse off the top of my head) and would be marginally surprised if this is not available on other similar trucks. Of course - if you tow more trailers with some that are not equipped with lithium batteries then you might have to remember to re-plug in that fuse on those occasions. Bill

I just stumbled across an app that says it can be used to help diagnose issues with the Dometic air conditioner in an RV. I've not used this myself but thought that it just might help if your having issues with your Dometic AC. The app can be found HERE. Bill

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.

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)

There are plenty of Forum members that drive GMC stuff. What is your question/concern? Bill

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

= 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

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
