Thanks for letting us know! Apparently there were more of us that also called and got the same story from the campground. Bill

Good point rich.dev - your wish is my command.😃 Thanks for the suggestion. Bill

Please note If anyone is looking for the posts concerning the possible new Oliver windows for 2026, that portion of this thread has been moved to a new thread titled: New Windows for 2026? Bill

To all those that served our great nation - THANK YOU To all those that served our great nation and didn't make it back - WE REMEMBER AND HONOR YOU

This is not a matter of talking sense into anyone, but only a matter of knowing a bit of the history of these older plaques. Anyone that has an older Ollie without a hull # plaque should contact me. Bill

Sure, but, they are already pretty. 😇

Heck - some of us are scary enough even without getting dressed up! However, a mask just might do me some good.😁 Bill

Can you PM me the name of who you talked to about this? Bill

I'd bet that Lippert does not manufacturer that plastic/rubber part you are looking for. However, finding the real manufacturer is going to be very difficult unless you can find a sympathetic ear at Lippert OR - have you contacted Oliver Service in this regard concerning getting a new window track? Bill

Off the top of my head, I can't remember the name of the window frame mfg - but - I do know that it is not Lippert. There are a number of posts here on the Forum regarding the re-stringing of these window frames. I know from personal experience that doing this job is not the most fun but it is not really all that difficult either. And doing the re-stringing is a bunch less expensive compared to the purchase of a new frame unit. Bill

Tim - The RUMOR that I've heard is that Oliver is changing windows for the 2026 models. The information that you cite about the closing of the plant and the "wonderful" service you obtained from Lippert just may explain why/how this RUMOR started. I believe that it is still too early to know if this RUMOR is true or not given we are still only about 1/2 way through the 2025 model year. Bill

So sorry to hear this, but, I'm sure that as you travel they will always be right there with you. Bill

Yep - With so many vehicles being sold with navigation, many people simply rely on that to get them where they want to go. Actually, there are many times on longer trips when I use both the nav in my F-150 and my Garmin at the same time. However, whenever the two disagree I almost always trust Garmin over Ford. To be fair - I have updates for life with the Garmin and I've never even considered paying to have the nav updated in ANY of the vehicles I've ever owned. So, it is highly likely that the Garmin would have the more up to date information. Of course, I always have the good old standard paper maps to include a Gazetteer map. Bill

Given the area of the country in which you live and the kind of camping that I think you do, I'm a bit surprised that in addition to the data requirements for cell phone based GPS there is also the issue of cell coverage. I too tried to reduce that number of screens in the cockpit - but - I failed. Having as many "programs"/apps as possible on a tablet seemed like a great idea. Unfortunately, I found that there was no "simple" way of switching from one app to another. Mind you - I normally travel alone. For those that travel with a navigator that is good these issues become much more tolerable. Good luck! Let us know if you find that perfect solution. Bill

Perhaps now would be a great time for readers/posters to this thread (and other threads) to re-read the Forum Guidelines. I believe that it was Bugeyedriver that last referred everyone to these Guidelines back in 2024 with THIS POST. Bill

Very nice with the vents in the fridge basically matching those in the microwave. Like the additional insulation in the compartment too. Nice job! Bill

Can we assume that you paid attention to the warning on that label - "do not destroy this label" - and it is presently sitting in a place of honor in your workshop?🤣 Bill

I'm guessing that there are a bunch of kids in the pool here.😇 Bill

OK then, how about MRS.?😁

SIR?

Why do I see a lost phone in the future?

If you start with 3 beers it makes the process go a bunch easier - you don't give a ....! Bill

Carl - I assume that you have viewed THIS thread that has several relevant post to what you are doing/thinking. Specifically - the KYD install of a DC to DC system on their rig. Bill

THIS week's KYD post addresses their opinion on this subject. Bill
