Try a few of the Stella cans and you probably won't care.

No joke - other than I probably should have said - new windows for your house, not your Oliver. Bill

Would a "Stella" can work too? Got plenty of those! 😁

Anybody need some new windows?😃

Jason - I'll add my "welcome" to this growing list. Yes, you have bought a camper. But, you have also "bought" a company that is more than likely actually different from any other company you have dealt with in the past. So many companies simply give lip service to things like quality and customer service but if your experience is like mine - that is all it is, "lip service". Yes, Oliver is not perfect. But, they will do what they say they are going to do, when they say they are going to do it. And, they will keep at it until any "problem" they created is fixed - not with a Band-Aid but actually fixed. The next couple of months is actually a very short time. You have a bunch to do. It is very helpful that you appear to be experienced campers with an RV. But, while the basic systems in an Oliver are much like those in other campers, there are nuances that are different enough that knowing about them prior to taking delivery should make your early experiences much easier. This Forum and the Oliver University are your friends and you should make yourself very familiar with them prior to delivery. We are here to help you! Just shout. Bill

And, still have the best looking uniforms (IMO). Bill

Strange - I thought that the "new" alarm units were the propane/CO combination units. At least on the older Elite II's the "smoke detector" that is usually located in the back street side corner is a combination smoke/CO detector which takes care of the fact that CO is lighter than air. Bill

Actually the stuff that Oliver has used for insulation has been similar to Reflectix but instead of being basically "bubble wrap" in between the foil it is a foam composite of some sort. Here are a few pictures which show how and where this is applied to the shells prior to them being joined together. Bill

I'd love to join you! But, even if you offered to pay the speeding tickets I don't think I could make it in time from Western North Carolina.😁 Bill

I had previously heard (and it was discussed here on the Forum) that the touch lights were not going to be present on the 2024 models. However, I've not heard anything additional on this subject. Bill p.s. It has also been confirmed that the upper fridge vent on the exterior of the Ollie will not be there anymore - i.e. the outside shell will be smooth. However, the bottom fridge vent that turned into a collapsible table will continue to be the table.

I do not have "touch lights" but I really do like both the idea and execution of these shades. Nice thinking and doing! 👌 Bill

Hard to believe.

I don't know if there is any magnet(s) on the new doors or not. But, I'm assuming that the other hardware - the latch - will be similar to the latch that is on the closet door. Yes - mine operates as it should. However, particularly if the camper is a fair degree out of level, the strip of magnet at one corner or the other may not "release" at the same rate as the rest of the door. This can cause the door to vibrate as apparently VBistro is mentioning. The solution(s) to this problem is to either correct the alignment of the door or open the door more slowly or reduce the amount of magnetic attraction that is occurring. Of course, if you reduce the amount of magnetic attraction then you might be in trouble going down the road if you forget to use the latch or some other means to secure the door. Bill p.s. Mike - this only has to do with the bath door being opened and nothing to do with it being held open.

As I currently understand it - the "new" bathroom door will be similar to the closet door in both look and in the hardware that is used for the latch etc.. Also, as with the current door, the large mirror will still be used on the "outside" of the door - the side facing the interior of the cabin. Bill p.s. I think that the "noise" being referred to is caused when opening the door and the magnets don't all release the door at the same time. This causes to door to "vibrate" which, in turn, causes the noise. It is either that or the door hits against the frame when opened or closed causing the noise. Bill

As far as I know - the "active ingredient in DampRid and "like products" is nothing but salt. However, I'm not a chemist - therefore, there may be reactions to salt that I'm not aware of. But, certainly there are no "warning labels" on these products that mention anything with regards to formaldehyde. Bill

Newbies taking the plunge - Are we missing anything
topgun2 replied to Dennis and Melissa's topic in General Discussion
Not true - at least in regards to Ford. Perhaps, technically, this statement IS true since I've not recently looked at my Ford Owner's manual. But, there Is a Ford sticker on the hitch assembly that states that a weight distribution hitch IS REQUIRED if the hitch weight (tongue weight) is over 500 pounds. Bill -
For what purpose?
