  1. thank you ALL for this thread. We had the same problem of the thermostat not properly responding to touch. With everyone’s input, my husband had it fixed in minutes.
  2. Thank you Everyone for your replies and recommendations. User error on our part for not properly cleaning all tanks … black, grey, fresh. Cleaned our fresh water supply as directed, flushed the grey 3 or more times. It took a while for all the gasses to leave. Now we are diligently using Grey water TST. Black tank never an issue, but using proper treatment for that as well. I also scrape and wipe every food particle from dishes before washing. Something, as a former State Park employee, had to explain to every incoming camper. It was to minimize crow and ravens’ attraction to the park i.e. protect other birds from their predatory nature. I should know better. Also, the vent under counter on the right side was not properly aligned which was allowing gases to escape into the cabin. My husband fixed it, thank you Oliver and Mr Davies for pointing him in the right direction.
  3. We have horrendous odors coming from under the sink and around the cabinetry. It becomes worse when the the fan is on drawing air from outside to inside. We had a leak a few weeks ago from the sink which dripped into a drawer. My husband, Chris, was able to fix the leak, but the odor still exists. Any suggestions of where to start looking? I believe the two issues i.e., leak and odor are completely separate. The odor issue was first. A few weeks later we discovered the leak. Thanks for anyone's insight.
  4. We are considering purchasing a trailer dolly (The Trailer Vallet EX) to help maneuver our Ollie in our drive way. We just need to pivot the Oliver around to face out. Our driveway is long, curved and on a hill so it is very difficult to back in. The actual parking area is flat. Any experience with such a dolly or suggestions? Thanks!
  5. Hello, I want give everyone one who posts on this forum a BIG THANK YOU. We picked up Ms Ollie in July, traveled hill and dale from Tennessee to New York, Canada, Michigan and back home to California. A lot of states and miles behind us. Every little post has helped in a huge productive way .... and it is all inspirational when maybe you are having a less than perfect day. So, with this said. I do have a question about the curbside awning. We were told at pick up not to use the awning in the rain. It is made for sunshade and not rain protection. Big disappointment. It would be wonderful to sit out on a warm rainy evening under the protection of little awning right next to Ms Ollie. My question is, how do Oliver owners use their awnings? We have not used it in the rain because we were told not to. You cannot use it in any sort of wind because it retracts with the slightest wind gust. So we it gets used very little. other little questions: would like to change my graphics. I don't know where my head was at when I decided on green and gold. I took off the rear decal easily and now I'm thinking of taking off the front and maybe be brave to do the same on the sides. Does anyone have experience in replacing the graphics? I am assuming I could order a new set from the factory that actually matches the tow vehicle. Replacing them is certainly low priority especially when learning to use all the systems. but my poor choice bugs me every time I look at the trailer. Another sideline. Months ago I asked for opinions of compost toilet v traditional flush/black holding tank. We opted for the traditional flush system and have NOT regretted it for a second. Oh, we did purchase a new holding tank connection cap that extends out and easier to twist (thanks to forum suggestions). The location of the hose in the bumper is great, but getting to the hose connection was frustrating. Thanks!
  6. SeaDawg, What sort of wax do you use on the interior? My husband and I picked our new ollie up in July. We've been on the road ever since. I have been using mild soap and water and a cotton bar towel for most cleaning, but I love your suggestion of hydrogen peroxide, Lisa
  7. Well, we did it. My husband and I have committed to an Oliver Trailer! Now for more decisions. Getting to the point, I would love to hear from Oliver owners their experience with compost toilets. While I love the thought of not having to empty tanks at the campground, I am not sure if compost toilets are worth the extra effort. Personally, my main concern is .... and I hate to have to be so blunt, but after speaking with several women friends, we all have concluded that while using the toilet for No 2, it is almost impossible not to mix pee with the poo. There I said it. There is lots of info about compost toilets but nothing basic like this. It is my understanding that if any urine is mixed with the poo, you will have a problem. If this is absolutely true, I know what decision I will be making. Feedback, please. Thank you
