Rumor and rumor only - 2024 Olivers will see a return to normally operated lights (i.e. via a switch versus being "touch" lights). Bill
-
OUCH!
-
Sounds to me like your mobile RV guy is correct - there still could be a short or loose connection that is causing the on again off again operation. You certainly don't want to continue guessing if it will work or not. I'd still have it thoroughly checked out - these things simply don't turn themselves on/off for no reason. Bill

I agree! When I first heard that Toyota was updating the "new" Tundra, I was all but sold. However, all they did was do away with the V8 and power the 1/2 ton with basically the same engine that Ford has had since 2011. And, the payload is a few hundred pounds less than Ford's. I really don't understand the logic. Toyota certainly blew another chance at my business. Makes me sad and I feel a bit dumb that I can't seem to figure out why they did what they did. Bill

Where are the "Like Emoji's"?
topgun2 replied to John Dorrer's topic in How to Join and Use Oliver Travel Trailer Forums
"Hover" your cursor over the "thank you" button until a panel slides out to the left. Then move your cursor over the button you'd like to hit and left click. If you would rather make another choice then you can always left click the little "x" above your choice and then repeat the steps above to make another choice. Bill -
Perhaps this was meant to be. Hopefully no one was injured and the dealer will still honor the deal in some fashion. Bill

When I replaced the ones that were rusting on my Ollie I went with stainless steel like THESE. However, even though there has been no problem with the ones I bought, if I replace them again I would most likely purchase solid stainless steel nuts, Bill

Sometimes life has a funny way of working out. Congrates! Sure do hope that everything works out for both you and the sellers. Bill

Shawna - HE REALLY DOES NEED A DRONE!!! Does that help?

THAT clears up the mystery - thanks

Thanks - Steve, I think that we may have a failure to communicate. I'm going to assume that everyone can see the picture of the red truck but cannot see the "IMG_1178.jpg" Using Windows and Android I cannot see the 1178 either but I can see the red truck. I now believe that the 1178 was meant to be the red truck but there was a problem with that when it got into the original post. Bill
-
OK started to work on the picture viewing problem. Is the quoted picture above the one that is not viewable on Apple products? Or, is the problem picture the view of the red truck with the rock tamers. Or both?

Question about the backup camera monitor
topgun2 replied to shhQuiet's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
I too have the Builtright but I didn't like the camera monitor mounted there. Instead I use a phone mount along with one of the cup holders ( like THIS) and find that I can see it well without the dash clutter. Bill -
Cricket noises from the lights
topgun2 replied to Going Coastal's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
The only "noise" I hear is the "clicking" of the switches being turned on/off. A 2017 most likely has lights that are only operated by the switches (i.e. they are not "touch" lights) Therefore, either these lights are on or they are off with the only power control being the switch. Bill -
Question about the backup camera monitor
topgun2 replied to shhQuiet's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
Yes - Your Oliver Sales Rep. Give him/her a call because Oliver can (and does) change specific items/options from time to time. Bill -
I'm guessing that the problem is the old Apple versus Android/Windows thing. I'll see if I can fix it but do not have a minute at the moment. Bill
-
Weird - I see the pic. Re the exhaust and Rock Tamers - that company produces various models of the product that work with specific brands and exhaust systems such that the rubber flaps are not affected by the heat of the exhaust. From the picture posted I assume that either these are the wrong Rock Tamers for the application or the exhaust is far enough away from the tamers that they are not affected. Bill
-
I too have the Rock Tamers like Frank C and concur with his comments. Patriot has a different brand that looks relatively good. Search around and find the ones that work for you. Bill

Just got to love those legs on Mr. Oliver!😁 Here's Registration with Phil and Arron manning the desk in great fashion.

As you know - I don't spend very much money without taking a look at what I get for that hard earned money. AS you said above - certainly check the prices for these services. But, my point is that one should also check what they are getting for the price. 🙂 Bill
-
As far as I know - ScubaRx was the first to do this mod. You might want to ask him for details if you go down that road... Steve also "moved his propane within the enclosure in order to get more "storage" space in that same area. Bill
-
What might you do if your shore power is interrupted? I assume that you have a generator and you do not cook with propane? I've never heard or anyone who has removed their tank(s). Perhaps you might want to remove the large tanks but still get a single smaller tank - just in case? Bill

Plastic disk in tank dump discharge
topgun2 replied to jhull61's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
Either way - the tank has got to empty faster now And it will also store more too!😆 -
I found it interesting that the guys from CGI brought this subject up. Simply put - they believe that there is no way that the warranty can work in that it will either eventually force that company out of business due to cost of claims or because the "job" will simply not hold up. They asked me if I knew any if information about it - I don't. They also wondered if this price included the polishing and prep work and a coating made for fiberglass rather than for regular clearcoat - I didn't know that either. Having said this - I was aware of this Facebook post prior to writing the check to CGI. In a rough calculation - not including the cost of the materials used in the process - what I paid calculates to just under $45 per hour of work for each of the 4 guys and this doesn't include something for the company -- i.e. costs for advertising, accounting, washing Twist at the Rally, etc. Bottom line - I'd need to know a lot more about what I'd get for the $1900.00 before I'd make the trip to AZ. And, I'm satisfied with the job that CGI did. Bill
