Wandering Sagebrush

We finally got a window (and the courage to drive through PDX traffic) to visit the Oliver dealer in Salem, Oregon. It took about 30 minutes, and the tech seemed professional. Atta boys for the service team We also took a few minutes to look at the new Olivers that were at the dealership. They’re nice, but I suspect we won’t be buying a new trailer. I did like the compressor fridge and lithium batteries, but I don’t think it will be enough to sway us.

I have not seen or tried one, but they do look interesting. I’ve gone another route for rough terrain and have purchased a high clearance teardrop for my solo trips. The teardrop I mentioned above has a Max Coupler articulated hitch. While it’s nice in rough terrain, I can’t see myself taking the Ollie into those conditions.

I’m late to the party, but having a truck with similar abilities, I definitely have an opinion. I would never tow my Ollie with my Ranger. The F350 does a fine job. In addition to being able to tow, the ability to stop should be considered.

With respect to the crack. You might want to consider stop drilling the upper end to help relieve the forces in play. To be safe, it would be best to run this by Oliver.

A quick update, Mike Sharpe replied to my ticket, and let me know the hand piece is an ITC. They’re readily available from Amazon. Thank you, Mike.

JD and all, Thank you!

I lied, must be my geezerly memory.

Hi JD, thanks. Unfortunately, ours is different. The hand piece has the female side. I will get a photo posted today.

The hand piece on our outside shower has pinhole leaks along a molding joint, probably my fault. Does anyone have a source, or knows who made it? I did create a service ticket, but have not yet heard back. Thanks

Have tried to use it (just to see if it works), but IMO the Furion stereo/tv is pure unadulterated amp sucking garbage. Oliver, are you listening?

One more recommendation for a SafeJack kit, compressor (I have a Viair 400p), plug kit, and torque wrench. Your experience was a wake-up call for me to get solid lug nuts.

A friend was recently camping at over 10,000 feet, and had the Truma throw an error code. I’m posting here to see if anyone in the Oliver community has had a similar experience. https://www.wanderthewest.com/threads/truma-varioheat-furnace-use-question.1201055/

Craig, thank you. I’ve got the MC 4 to SAE adapter, with polarity reverse plug. Looks like I just need to pick up a controller. Thanks again…

I may do something like this, but is it necessary? Does the wiring from the external SAE solar port connect directly to the batteries, or do they go to the onboard charge controller? I have 2 portable 160 watt EcoFlow panels that do not have a controller. If the external wiring goes from the SAE connector to the charge controller, all I need is a MC4 to SAE adapter, and possibly a reverse polarity adapter if the trailer side has Zamp polarity.
