You mean THIS ONE? Bill

Thanks Bill and Seadawg for getting a name that I can now publicly call these things. The language that I've historically used is not really suitable for mixed company!😇 Given the distance that my Oliver is parked away from the mulch beds I can attest to the fact that these little buggers are packing some pretty powerful ammo! Bill

I'm going to alert a person who is way higher than my pay grade as to this issue - Jason Walmsley. Jason is a pretty busy fellow - so - it might take him several days to get on this. Bill

Duh!☹️ Lets also throw in a plug for Mirna (Foy's wife and all around nice person).🥰

We have had a number of "vendors" as members here in the past. Off the top of my head there is/was Andersen, MicroAir, and the fellow that produced the laser cut plastic protection plate for the Dometic fridges (Tractors1). Frankly, I wish that all of the Oliver vendors would be on the Forum so that we had direct access to help via this platform when we need it and/or to get questions answered. I too am looking forward to seeing ScubaRx's #50. Bill

Can you give us a few more details as to what device you are using, do you allow/disallow cookies on your device(s), what are you using for a browser? Thanks! Bill

I'd add to JD's post above that it is a fairly easy and relatively inexpensive mod to simply go down to Lowe's, Home Depot, or ACE and grab five or six lengths of 1/2 inch pipe insulation (like THIS) and cover any and all pipes that you can get to. Not only will you reduce noise but you will also get hotter water and get a degree or two additional protection from freezing pipes in cold weather. Bill

So - Is it that furnace that s*cks or is it those 7 year old batteries that s*ck? Or both? 😁 Bill p.s. sorry - but I simply could not resist. My T-105's are also pushing 7 years and I'm hoping to get one more year out of them.

1 - make sure that the pump is off 2 - make sure that there is no pressure in the water lines 3 - place a rag under the filter "bowl" and take it off This bowl and filter are not very big so that they don't hold a bunch of water. When re-installing the bowl: make sure that it is aligned properly and then screw it back on. It only has to be "finger" tight. Turn the water pump back on and check for leaks. Bill

Hard to say about the spots. Here in Western North Carolina we have a small bug that leaves the kind of spots you are talking about. When you rub your finger across them you can feel a slight raised surface. When you get a "fresh" deposit and remove it there will be an orange colored spot left. With these "fresh" spots I simply use any automotive detailer or liquid wax to get them off. With these spots that have "aged" a bit they are a real - bugger - to get off, even when the camper has a fairly recent good coat of wax on it. I simply use my finger nail and then a polish and then a wax. Good luck! Bill Unfortunately, when left on for more than a day or two these

SeaDawg did replace the bathroom fan with the Maxx Air dome with LED light. Again, try a PM to SeaDawg if you haven't already done so. Bill

Yep - a couple of velcro straps and then I put it into a nice big bag my wife made for it. From there it gets dumped into the back of the truck. Bill p.s. there are a bunch of different ways to use the "basement" space. While at the Rally be sure to ask people to see what they have done. In fact - this is one of the main benefits of the Owner's Rally and this year you will have even more time to do it - simply walk around, look and ask. I've never had an owner refuse to talk about and/or show me the things they have done to their Ollie!

My microwave plate simply goes into the cubbie right above the microwave. I place in there under a plastic tote that contains foil, plastic wrap, wine glasses, etc.. The "lip" on the bottom of the cubbie assures that the plate isn't going anywhere. Bill

You might want to PM SeaDawg. I believe that about a year or two or so ago (my how time flies!) SeaDawg replaced their bathroom fan assembly. Bill

HERE is a very recent video which shows an unboxing and setup of a Starlink system. Bill

Yes, you can get on the roof - but - it is very slick. Most things can be done without actually crawling around up there. Natures head is the brand of composting toilet. Don't miss the drive from Ten Sleep over to Buffalo when you get to the Big Horns in Wyoming. Crazy Woman Creek road is another I would not miss but probably it is best done without the Ollie in tow. This is where the Hole-in-the Wall Gang hung out and at the upper end of it you can see why. Let us know what you think about that Ollie down in Odessa! Bill

We tried to tell you so 😇! Seriously, glad things went well - except perhaps except for the weather. Just think of the adventures that lie ahead! Have you told that beautiful new Ollie about what you've got planned? Bill

BJ - Its hard to read but if you look closely at the pics posted it appears that the MPH is either 55 or 65. Bill

C&M C I like the way you think! Hopefully the paint will hold up well and since there is little reason for that seal to get scratched or nicked it will be good on that front too. Let us know in a year or so how its going. Bill

You can see if there is an Oliver in your area simply by left clicking HERE. This will put you into contact with an Oliver owner that you can visit and/or simply talk to. Good luck. Bill p.s. don't be afraid to talk with the Oliver Sales staff either in that they will not bother and/or pressure you.

I'm out there on the edge with you - scary!😵 I always have two milk jugs filled with water to be used to flush the toilet and I generally use a "solar shower" for bathing. Either bottled water or drain it from the fresh water tank for things like cooking and brushing teeth. Certainly I can get by with a mal-functioning water pump for a couple of weeks plus. Bill

I'm guessing that Mike in Service covered this with you - but - were you still getting heat out of the furnace when you smelled the propane?

You call THAT driving ?😆 Just kidding! Its nice to see that there really isn't much difference between these 3.5 liter turbo 1/2 tons. Bill

TomW - I would urge you to start reading a bit more. Not only about the Oliver - but - about other campers. Yes, ANY structure that has holes in the roof can develop leaks but with the solid fiberglass construction of the Oliver, the number of holes are generally less, the ability to relatively easily fix those holes is generally much easier and potential of damage beyond the leak itself (i.e. rotted wood, rusted frame and even mold) is virtually non-existent. Olivers have vent holes at the bottom of the camper that allow for air circulation and drainage (in the event of a leak and/or condensation). This combined with the use of materials that are mold and rot resistant further mitigate issues associated with water leaks. As a general statement - once an Oliver is properly sealed (i.e. caulked along with the use of gaskets) and maintained the likelihood of leaks is extremely small. With regards to nimbleness and maneuverability - just compare its size to other campers. Note the Oliver's width. Note comments about the Oliver's stable tracking and look at its aerodynamic shape. Bill

Nan - I don't know. But, I'm sure that the Oliver Service department does. I'd give them a call and they can tell you specifically for your Ollie. Bill
