  1. Thanks Mike & Carol. We’re currently camped at James M Robb-Colorado River State Park-Fruita Section tonight, planning on visiting Colorado National Monument tomorrow morning. The Colorado state parks are fabulous.
  2. As titled, we'll be traveling from Fuita to Mesa Verde and would like to avoid the Million Dollar Highway. Would taking RT-62 to RT-145 be a reasonable route towing our Oliver? Trying to avoid any hair-raising adventures. 😁
  3. This was suggested to us by the guys who were professionally cleaning tanks at the rally.
  4. Check to see if any of the heating ports are blocked and also check the ductwork under the curb side access area for kinked ductwork. You shouldn't be getting any error codes. It's worth a call to Oliver if everything looks ok. You might also check to see that there isn't anything blocking the exhaust port on the outside of the trailer.
  5. StarLink is currently running a substantial discount on the standard hardware kit price, $299 vs $499. StarLink Promotion
  6. I don't know how I missed this thread until now but WOW what a nice build! Awesome job!!
  7. Toyota requires a weight distribution hitch for your Tundra when towing an Oliver, we use the Anderson hitch. As you've mentioned your payload will be limited with the Tundra, visit a CAT scale and check your weights especially the weight on the rear axle. If you have the air bag suspension the truck will trim out nicely when towing the Oliver. The Tundra tows the Oliver very nicely and with the Tow+ mode and the twin turbos you'll get good performance. I've noticed no sway whatsoever with my setup and gas milage is reasonable at 13 mpg typically when towing ( 20mpg when not towing ). We have the composting toilet and are glad to have it. We can go three weeks between changing out the compost which is easy to do. You'll save a lot of water by going with a composting toilet and not have to deal with other peoples messes at the dump stations. Twin beds are the way to go with the Oliver. Water conservation is key when boon docking but you can easily add portable jugs of water to the system if you need to by using the Olivers boon docking configuration. The platinum lithium package is wonderful. The pantry can hold a surprising amount of food. We went with the 30lb propane tanks, they are heavy but came in handy for winter camping.
  8. You may also be able to lower your Xantrex charger current limit parameter to lessen the amount of current being supplied for charging the batteries thus reducing the overall electrical load on the system. This will allow for some usable power for other accessories but will of course cause a longer battery recharge time.

  10. Tom and Doreen, Hull 1321, will be attending; Site # 226
  11. We use our stand-alone at times as the Truma dehumidifier feature of the AC sometimes makes the trailer too cold.
  12. According to SureCall registration is not necessary. I had tried to register ours prior to callling SureCall and the call center at AT&T had no clue as to how to register the cell booster. Don’t expect to see a huge boost in signal strength, typically one bar improvement if the phone is very, very close to the antenna.
  13. Re-check that your valves under the curb side bed are in the proper position. There is a valve that if in the wrong position will allow city water to flow into your fresh tank.
  14. @MAX BurnerGreat write-up / procedure, very informative; thanks!
