I have been using what3words for a while now, and it is really high resolution, down to a 3 meter area. I have a Motorola Defy, which uses a satellite, but I'm not sure how quick the response would be vs. having cell service and using 911. But would highly recommend what3words.

Our home electronic locks give a low battery warning a few days before the batteries actually die. Is that not a feature on the electronic rv lock? Disappointing.
I don't recall any sort of warning or different sound from the lock. I would think that if it doesn't have the juice to unlock it would refuse to lock. I haven't looked it up in the lock instructions, but I agree, it is disappointing.

Any pit toilets and/or potable water nearby?
There are pit toilets about a half mile from this location but no water. There are 14 campsites in the NF and they are really spread out. I learned a hard lesson here- the battery on my RVLock keyless entry apparently died when I went out for a lunch hike one day and I had to get a locksmith from Auburn, AL to come out and pick the lock. ($200). Now I'm keeping a key in my truck!

All of these apply here!
When we got our Geezer Pass in 2016 (when we got our Oliver) it was $10. We’ve saved hundreds since. Mike
Yes, the America the Beautiful pass is great! I am a veteran, so I got mine for free!
For Lake Guntersville, you will just show that you are 62+ to get the discount. (Active Duty, veterans and handicapped also).

Getting senior discounts, not being in a hurry to get somewhere, having dinner at 4:30, all these things can be yours one day!

I spoke to Guntersville SP and they said sections D, E and G were full and they were now putting people in section F.

I reserved my spot several months ago, but I didn't realize that the park set aside a block for the rally. Also, there is a discount?? Maybe I should call the park and see if I can get into the reserved block.

I'd be interested in this side-trip!

This is a great idea! Ordered some film today...

Agree about the potatoes and the microwave rice... Sometimes I'm just not hungry and I'll have some ramen noodles- reminds me of the hungry school days!
Another favorite of mine is the hot dog, or "tube steak" 🤣 with a slice of cheese melted on there.

I'm keeping a video diary of my travels in the Oliver. This first episode is my trip to Hohenwald to pickup the Oliver and the first few days camping in it.

I would love to make this trip! It's on my list once I pull the trigger and retire. Please keep us updated on how well the Oliver does on the Alaska highway. I've heard it is pretty rough through Canada, especially.
-
Being able to pop back to the Oliver while on the road, turn on the A/C and have lunch is priceless!

Got a nicer pin, but didn’t see the one with the red handle at the Tractor Supply in Hohenwald. Still, this one has a handle and the pin has a handle, too.

Nice Ollie - nice truck.
Did you stop into Tractor Supply to get one of these hitch pins? They make pulling and inserting that pin a bunch easier.
I will get one tomorrow!

I’m hunkered down in scattered showers at Camp Oliver right now. Ryan did a great job with the delivery and I’m completely overwhelmed! The big stuff I’ve got covered but the little details are just going to take time.

Spend the night on site and try out everything. If anything doesn’t look right just let them know and they will take care of you. Are you getting a solar/lithium package? There are a lot of systems to checkout. We were very happy with Oliver quality and service. Other than that just enjoy your quality purchase, Congratulations!
I do have the solar/lithium package. Still a few things I'm looking forward to getting cleared up, but otherwise I've ton a fair amount of reading... Which I'm sure I'll forget until I have to actually do it, that's the way that usually goes.
Frankly, I'm most worried about the towing and backing! After a night at Oliver, I'm going to the Meriwether Lewis campground to boondock for one night, then on to Tim's Ford State Park where I'll spend a couple of nights before heading home.

I have been reading up on all the systems and I downloaded a copy of the manuals on my phone. Watched plenty of videos, too. I plan on spend Tuesday night at the Oliver campground as well.

Congratulations and have a great time. It’s a fun day, and a great trailer. The folks at Oliver are awesome. Bring latex gloves for the dump station! Lol
The best suggestion!

Simple AGM to Lithium Conversion question(s)
in Mechanical & Technical Tips

My 2023 has 2 x 320Ah for a total of 640Ah, I guess the capacity has improved very slightly. Very happy with it.
If I'm boondocking and use a minimal amount I will consume about 10-12% of my capacity per day if it is overcast and I have no solar coming in. This typically includes:
