Proper use of aluminum

Yes but I'm afraid I might cry myself to death afterwards.

BMW makes some of the best bikes you can buy. If I were to get one, it would be the 900 GS Adventure.

He's not kidding. They are thick, heavy rubber. The bullet would likely just knock them on the ground will little damage. If they were braced, an hp supersonic FMJ might go through.

I was informed at Oliver that the aluminum bubble radiant barrier that completely wraps around the interior wall acts as a faraday cage so no need to run to the truck. However, a tree falling on the trailer will take care of all of our worries.

My fridge uses very little power and barely touches the batteries.

Etta James.

Young or old, you don't have to do it in one go.

We moved to a smaller home with much less land, 2 vehicles and no toys. In our opinion, less is more. More time, more camping and more exercise in the proper way, so waxing a trailer is just one of the ten things I must do this year. I have a diesel zero turn that knocks out the yard in 30 minutes, weed eating is down to 15, and the steaks are ready in 9 on the Blackstone. Personally, I would never spend $3000 to have my trailer polished just because I didn't want to do the work. Much better to grease the elbows and leave that money invested.

Sorry, I was out of pocket. I love stuff like this. Looking good.

Well said, HDRider. While I am not too concerned about the change, I can certainly understand the problem if the closest service center is Hohenwald. I also wonder what they are going to do with all of their technicians.

I've been out of pocket for about a week while moving into a new home so just now catching up. It seems that change is hard for a lot of people. I can understand that. However, one thing hasn't changed. Oliver still builds great trailers. They have legendary quality and service. I don't see that changing. So, the service department in Hohenwald is shuttering for minor repairs. Does that change the quality of the trailer we own? Or does it just take away a fringe benefit? As I understand it, they will still take service calls and will handle major repairs but are handing off the minor repairs to local service centers. This really isn't any different than what I have already experienced. I have had a few problems since taking delivery, and it was handled this way without issue. I think we trust OTT to remain the legend it has always been.

I was just going to suggest removing the truck bed but kept reading and saw that you already did it. Now, while the bed is off, repaint the frame, check your shocks, brake lines and fuel lines. Now is the time to fix them.

Flushing the yellow wouldn't work for me but it would for my wife.

Could've been worse: 30 minute wait.

This is on my to-do list.

Definitely this and as soon as possible. Someone out there is hauling a potentially loaded down trailer with an under-spec hitch and, unlike Rideadeuce, the failure could be catastrophic.

I like to listen to music while I work. Sometimes I sing when there are no ears around.

If it is on auto, the display will turn red and stay that way only when the tank you were using runs out. It is up to you to check it. When I know my tank is running low, I check it every day then get it filled when the display turns red. If you are a bit absent minded, then leave it on manual and the furnace shutting off and the camper getting cold at 3am will be a good reminder.

All this and I focused in on the rarity of Bill's showers. hmmmm

I had a 2005 Dodge Ram 3500 4X4 with the 5.9 cummins. I miss that truck. A 40+ year old fiberglass boat...what kind?

I like donuts, but donut don't like me.

This sentence describes me to the core in everything I do.

If you have two tanks, and the valve is set to auto, it will switch to the full tank. If you are completely out, the heater will shut off and throw an error code referencing the gas supply interruption.

If not, here is a great article from Jason Essary: Decalcification - Hard Water Buildup - Loss of Water Pressure (olivertraveltrailers.com)
