  1. What's to not trust? A green 18 years old kid entrusted with a lug wrench - what could go wrong?😆 Bill
  2. the Bighorn Mountains
  3. And, Bosker is STILL embarrassed for you.🥰
  4. And/or: https://olivertraveltrailers.com/rewards-program/submit-activity/
  5. I'd give it another week or so and then if still nothing send a PM to Matt Duncan with the details that you submitted. Bill
  6. Beware of the moose! Yes, it was during the rut but I actually saw a moose charge a tree in Wyoming a few years back. Bill🥴
  7. That looks like a swimming area - just how cool/cold is that water? Also - just above the water it looks like really good bear habitat. I don't see any bear tracks by the shore though. Hope that the bugs are not too bad for you! Bill
  8. A Private Message (PM) to Galway Girl might get you a bit of a quicker response.
  9. While I feel for those that do not have this same experience, I do believe that your experience is closer to the norm. That's a great sun pic! Bill
  10. Its a piece of cake! Relax and absorb all that you can. Congrats! Bill
  11. address unknown, no
  12. Not a bad cover and slightly "softer" than the Chicks version. I liked it.
  13. bright and shiny
  14. hitting the road
  15. only to be
  16. and again, and
  17. There is a sad beauty in those pictures. We are all proud of our shiny new Olivers and tend to believe that they are "over built". But, the proof is in the pudding! It is in unfortunate situations like this that we can really be proud. Can you give us any idea of how the interior faired? I suspect that basically things were found intact. Bill
  18. They only seem overly bright until you almost step on that snake that is trying to warm itself on that nice black asphalt.😵
  19. Nice Ollie - nice truck. Did you stop into Tractor Supply to get one of these hitch pins? They make pulling and inserting that pin a bunch easier.
  20. Yep - and it is a bunch less expensive too. Note - either of these tools is used to either tighten or remove the back flow preventer if it is present by viewing (usually you have to use a light) into the city, fresh tank or winterization ports. I've been told that on newer model Ollies the back flow preventer valve has been moved further inboard. Bill
  21. First thing I'd do is simply replace the hose washer - Take out that piece of rubber you mentioned above, put in a new hose washer and screw the hose (or black plug) back into the "city connection". Let us know how it goes. Bill
  22. Mine did/does but the fuse was only about 6-12 inches from the rear of the detector. If you are home - I would suggest installing a switch like both JD and I did so that when that detector goes off in the middle of the night you can turn it off quickly - after, of course, you have determined that it was a "false alarm".
  23. And - Exactly where might you be feeling around? Outside the hull? Inside the hull? How bad is it leaking - stream or fast drip? Do you have a !/2 inch Allen wrench handy - like THIS? Do you have spare hose washers handy? Bill
  24. I agree with Mike - thanks for the post. I too do not have holes drilled in my awning mounts nor did I remove the "seal". Yes, keeping this area clean is a bit problematic but I serious do NOT think that it looks bad - in fact, I think it makes this area look a bit more "finished" and it does keep rain from coming down that side of the Ollie. The washing/keeping it clean is also not really that much of an issue in that I do clean the roof every time I wash Twist anyway. A strong stream of water and/or an electric power washer easily keeps this area free of "stuff". Like Mike - I too noticed something that I'd like more information on - the white "hood" over your rearview camera. How's it working? What material did you fabricate it out of? Did you do it "freehand" or with a template or ....? Thanks! Bill
  25. I'd strongly suggest that you look for site 18 - it is a pull through site that is just a short distance from the restroom. I usually pull through the campground, past the restroom, around the "circle", back past the restroom and then into site 18. That way, your door opens to the street side and the next morning you simply pull straight out of the campground. Note that there is water available at the restroom if you need any via a spigot on the water fountain located in front of the restroom. The camp host is a nice lady located in the camper between site 18 and the restroom. Garbage can be dropped off at either your site or outside the restroom. If you have the time - the cabin and the monument to Meriwether are worth the half hour and there is room to park the Oliver over in that area. Enjoy your new baby. Bill
