@Snackchaser Thank you! I will check my schedule and see where I might have them delivered. I did try finding parts on the Dometic website, and couldn’t find this particular stovetop. As an aside, I learned last year that *not all Post Offices will accept General Delivery packages* — a shock to me. My Grandfather was a Postmaster.

I looked in the silverware drawer, but maybe I should empty it completely. I went to the hardware and purchased “Red Rubber Sheet Packing” (I would call it a piece of rubber, 2 pieces in the package) I am going to work on making a foot with a hole (for the stove top leg). If it’s successful, I will add it to my post.

I have looked for over an hour, and can’t find the missing small black rubber grommet/gasket that supports the front corner of the cast iron (will try to attach photos from phone.) I can’t believe it could have squeezed down into the stove unit — it was there when I lifted out the cast iron after cooking a messy meal today. I even went through my entire garbage bag to be sure it wasn’t stuck in a paper towel. Has anyone tried to find a replacement? I’m trying to think of other pliable, soft but firm things I can use as temporary. Otherwise the cast iron will be rattling around. Any suggestions appreciated. I’m in Cody area today, so hardware is available, but tomorrow I head out boondocking and away for about 2 weeks.

I've towed my Oliver 5,800 miles so far this year and I've only seen two other Olivers on the road.

Something I need to add to my maintenance list, I guess!

I finished my first visit to Idaho this week, and it was a great trip, though I wish I had more time. Coming from Jackson, my first stop was Craters of the Moon National Monument & Preserve where I managed to land a spot in the Lava Flow campground (FF and somewhere in the fine print, they warn people not to pull trailers past a certain number). The park is generally viewed by driving along a loop road, with some parking at various spots. There are opportunities to hike up and around lava formations, as well as climbing down into lava caves. It was very windy! I recommend the hike up the Inferno Cone (a stiff hill that is longer than it appears) where you can see the Great Rift, the Snake River Plain, the Pioneer Mountains and the Teton Range 100 miles to the east. Entry into the caves requires a free permit from the Visitor Center (with instructions from staff). The campground was okay; it's in a lava field so the sites are arranged around the landscape.

What a great reminder -- the first time I heard about the Lock Picking Lawyer (here on the forum, naturally) I watched some of the videos, and THAT is when I changed up how I lock my Oliver!

Duly noted!!!

A belated Hello to the Oliver who passed me heading west towards Craters of the Moon National Monument, on Sunday 6/15. Idaho plates, I believe — it’s my first time in Idaho and it’s been lovely touring, hiking and soaking in the hot springs on my loop through the Sawtooth Mountains.

Your question is posted under the “Utah’s Mighty Five” trip header — maybe try reposting your question under a different section of the forum as a new post — (I’m using my phone here, or else I would look at options for you) @topgun2 might be able to steer you in the right direction.

Chris — you posted an excellent video and it’s very much appreciated. My recently cleaned window tracks managed to get so full of “muck” (the perfect word) that I had water intrusion last night. A first for me! UPDATE: My little black flexible pieces (with the oval holes, that sit in the window track) are not nearly as flexible as what I see in the video. And the vertical sides seem to be separate, or have split from the horizontal section (I only pulled up about 1/2 inch). This made me wonder if my track liners were different from the video. After speaking with OTT Service Team, I decided not to remove those sections. At least not now, while I am on the road in remote areas. I’m going to finish cleaning the weep holes as much as possible, and when things are dry, use compressed air to blow the dust out. All photos are taken from inside looking out… Thanks to the service team for their support today.

I've been traversing the southern section of Nebraska this week, following along the Platte River, and parts of the Oregon Trail / California Trail / Mormon Trail and it's .... very different from the Sandhills or the Badlands. I stayed at Pawnee SRA (State Rec Area); Windmill SRA; a freebie (if barren) spot in Bayard City (2 nights free with power and water, additional nights for a fee; one of the power poles wasn't working); and Riverside Campground in Scotts Bluff (which turns out to be part of a fairly large city park with a lot of amenities for locals). The landscape is dramatic. Pawnee SRA (the prettiest of my spots in NE); Buffalo Bill's Ranch NHS; Chimney Rock; Scotts Bluff National Monument

Oh boy -- that's a sad reminder. I was running out from under that storm, and it chased me across Tennessee and up I-81 all the way to Blacksburg Virginia. UGH.

Actually... I was thinking of the original Starlink (the big one with the separate router) and now I have the Mini with the built-in router (and I better read up on how much wet weather it can take) and I could just plug it in on the outdoor outlet!

Because then I would need to buy a box to keep the router dry... but to each his own. This method works well for me. :)

Maybe it's a costume for the Olivers?!

Can you post a photograph of the map you are trying to add? Now I see Canada but not the US on your signature...

I will try to do it myself .... and maybe make screenshots of the process. But my cousin and I are heading out in a bit and I have to eat first, so more likely will try to do this tomorrow... EDIT: to delete the map do the following: 1) go to Profile 2) click ACCOUNT SETTINGS (upper right side of your background photo) 3) on left side of Account Settings page, click on SIGNATURE 4) click on the image / link and DELETE.

I can say that some of those stops along the Oregon coast were spectacular when I visited them (bicycle camping) way back in 2009! Looks like a great trip!

I can recommend the COE campground at Stockton Lake MO (though maybe not far enough from your home) - they call it Crabtree Cove. Take note that some sites are close to the water, and others are perched on a hill overlooking the water. Lots of birds and trees. Electric available. COE so with America the Beautiful pass, very affordable. There is also a State Park there but I didn't drive around their cg to check it out.

@Zodd -- thank you, this is definitely of interest to me! Also the scenic hikes. I'm very excited about seeing the landscape there.

John, I think I had a similar experience when I tried to replace my old map. If I remember correctly, I finally deleted the map and logged out and then back in again. Have you tried this? I'm seeing both the US and Canada on your post -- isn't that what you intended?

I'm happy with Fall dates, as it fits well with my typical 'return to home' routine after a summer journey, and it should be nice weather. Should we have a costume contest for the Oliver Rally?

Thank you for your service! Hope to see you at another future Rally -- or on the road!

I'm using the KISS method; I plug it into an outlet on my Oliver and let the tiny cord go through a window, choosing the window that best fits for open skies (changes depending on where I am parked). I don't use it at all when I'm driving, but I DO carry it with me (even when Oliver stays in the cg) because if I get stuck somewhere with my truck, I can still reach out via cell phone using Starlink. All in all -- Starlink is a great service.
