I'm thinking that THIS is what he is talking about. Bill

GJ - I used just the Velcro but I did use a fair amount of it. Here is a pic of the back of the extinguisher. I've been down some fairly bad roads (perhaps I mean something other than interstates here😁) and it has never budged. Yes, those "carpet runners" make cleaning up a breeze. I used two 6 foot runners. That way they are easier to simply take outside and shake versus trying to deal with a single 12 footer.

SCL- There are a fair number of owners who have either replaced or simply applied their own graphic in various places on Olivers - mainly the front. There are a number of those that have posted both pictures and basic "how-to's" here on the Forum. I'd contact Service about getting a new set (I'm not sure that they do this anymore) and I'd also contact local print shops as to cost and availability. Hopefully owners with the newer style awnings will chime in here relative to your questions about rain. I have the old style awning that can be left up in light rain and I believe that even these newer awnings can be left up as long as you do not allow water to collect. The easiest way to do this is to only have the awning extended a small amount - (i.e. half way or less) - and I certainly would not leave mine extended overnight or when I was not there regardless of that wind sensor feature. Glad to hear that your trip home was good and very happy to hear that you have gain some knowledge and help from some of the threads here. Bill

Actual Dates of the 2023 Oliver TT Rally at Lake Guntersville, AL
topgun2 replied to hobo's topic in Events & Rallies
The only time that I know of when Oliver had "problems" delivering a trailer when promised was during the height of the pandemic. And, this was due to supplier issues - not under Oliver's control. Personally - I'd bet heavily on that April delivery.😃 Bill p.s. If you have not been there - this is one of the better - if not the best State Park I've ever been to. Plan on bringing your bikes, good walking shoes, camera and notebook. Never be afraid to approach ANY Ollie owner of even knock on their door if you have a question for them or see a mod that interests you. -
As per Google: Can you open a HEIC file on a Chromebook? At the top right, click “Upload,” select “Computer,” and find your HEIF/HIEC file in your Downloads folder(or wherever you saved it.) Upload the file and that's it. You should now see your full-resolution HEIC photo in Google Photos.Jun 10, 2022 Bill

Try THIS to get a map in your signature. Bill

Great looking Ollie resting comfortably in its very own bedroom. Nice trip too - glad to hear that there were no major issues. Welcome to the Family! Hope to meet you at the annual owner's rally in May. Bill

Absolutely untrue. Oliver does have a Marketing Department with Matt Duncan as its head. Remember that Oliver Travel Trailers is a relatively small privately held company. Many of Oliver's employees wear multiple hats such as compliance, quality control systems, IT, marketing, etc. I personally know that these people work very hard and actually care about Oliver and us (the customer).

Try THIS for making reservations and getting more info on Lake Guntersville State Park. Around $30/night is the camping fee and I believe that there is a $5.00 fee for online reservations - but - you can always call them instead. If I were you - I'd call them and be sure to mention that you are with the Oliver Rally. There are sites that have been reserved for Oliver owners and hopefully all of them are not gone at this point. Another Forum member has one of those F-350's but I believe that his is diesel and a Tremor versus the King Ranch. Certainly more than enough truck to get the job done. Bill

I can tell you that they certainly do understand your point. There are a reasonable number of other things that tend to gum up the works and that is why this process has taken sooooo long. Bill

John makes a very good point. During the wait for your Ollie you should view as many videos as you can - some more than once. Visit the Oliver University often. Read what you can here on the Forum and ask questions about anything that is not clear to you. Add all of this to those projects that you already have going on and you will most likely find that all of a sudden you are sitting in Hohenwald and trying to absorb all the information they will give you. Enjoy the process! Bill

Well - There has been "rumor" of this very thing happening for at least the past three or four years. Unfortunately, due to a number of circumstances the "Ollie Store" is not open - yet. While getting annual service done last month (September, 2022) I had a discussion with a reasonably senior management employee of Oliver and they told me that "the final details are presently being worked out" and that the "store" should be open for business by the end of the year. Hopefully this will turn out to be true. Bill
-
Welcome to the Family (almost). What are you going to tow your new Ollie with? Have you made reservations for the annual rally yet - if not then I'd suggest that you look into getting a site reserved at Lake Guntersville, AL very soon. Bill

My money would be on a modification by a prior owner. The insulation is also interesting. Bill
-
I don't have lithium batteries but I don't think that has anything to do with leaving the inverter on or off. As a matter of course - I simply turn on my inverter on the rare occasion when I need 110 volts and turn it back off when I'm done. I've just never seen a reason to leave it on since it does burn energy (not much) just sitting there waiting to do its inverter thing. Bill

Try THIS for the heater and THIS for the anti-freeze pump - used to pump anti-freeze into the black tank flush, city water and fresh water external ports. Bill

WA Oliver owners, where do you do the service?
topgun2 replied to June_Liu's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
At one time Oliver was compiling a list of "recommended" RV service centers. Perhaps they have one or two located near you that they could tell you about. I'd give them a call to see. Good luck. Bill -
I don't believe that those hubs are actually "ventilated". Its just the normal ridges around the outside that make it appear so in this picture. Bill

Outdoor Shower-Antifreeze Not Flowing - Help!
topgun2 replied to Steve Cay's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
One more thing you might try is to unscrew the head on the shower head. Sometimes that can get clogged. This is why I asked if they had used the water heater bypass. Bill -
Outdoor Shower-Antifreeze Not Flowing - Help!
topgun2 replied to Steve Cay's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
Try the cold water side first and if that works then do the hot water side. I assume that you turned the water heater bypass on. Bill -
Truma Aqua Comfort Water Heater with Antifreeze Kit
topgun2 replied to LoriL's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
There is a great trout fishing spot just outside of Kremmling at the base of the dam - I'm jealous. Its not a very long stretch of water but there are some very nice fish in there. 1 - Even though I would guess that you are traveling during the day when temps are above freezing, I would have my Ollie winterized given the temps you cite. A couple of milk jugs filled with water can be carried in the bath in order to have water for flushing - I assume that you have the standard toilet. 2 - I know very little about the Truma water heater therefore someone that has one should chime in here and/or start reading the instruction manual and Truma posts here on the Forum. 3 - If "bleeding" the system by simply turning on each faucet doesn't work within a fairly short period of time (2 minutes or so) then you probably have a place in your system that is allowing air to enter. Check the fittings on your water input, water pump - filter in particular - and make sure that they are sealed. -
Back in the Spring of this year I seemed to be having these same "remote" symptoms again. I don't remember exactly why but while poking around (be careful with poking around given the voltage that is in this area) I found that the negative side cables were loose on the inverter. I simply tightened those up and all returned to "normal". Good luck in finding the real issue. Bill

Bummer! I've never had a valve stem problem on any RV or vehicle I've owner. Glad you replaced them all - it could have been a bad batch. Bill
