Looking forward to seeing all of you there! This will be our first Rally and one of the first trips that we will take with our Ollie (as you can see from our very bare map). We are excited to get more comfortable with our "Pearl" so we can start hitting the road!

Oh perfect. That helps a ton. Thanks again!

Hull #12 - how cool is that! And good luck with your tractor search. We only have smaller size hills so I’m not too sure about the inclines, but I will say that our tractor has been a workhorse. Scott has recently been using it most for brush and dead tree clearing on our property in northern Michigan. He did pay extra for the enclosed cab which he believes has been worth it, it gets cold up there. And we both got a kick out of the possible name of “Leif” 😉

Ha ha, I was SO against getting Dug as well so I”m with your wife. But I will say, that my husband uses the tractor on a very regular basis and it’s come in pretty handy. So I am “team Dug” now 😉 And thank you for the warm welcome regarding Pearl. We are very excited and can’t wait to start our travels. Cindy

Thank you @Ollie-Haus & @Steve Morris. I am not familiar with the Xantrex app yet (so far we’ve only downloaded the Lithionics app. But I will research that today. Sounds like it would solve our issue for sure - thanks again for the advice.

Thank you Dave and Kimberly. Clearly we have a lot to learn as my husband read your post and said “where is the EMS?” We will get there for sure, it’s been less than a week. On another note, I love the town that you live in. We drive through there often when driving from NC to MI. Thanks again.

Thank you Bill and nice to meet you. Boone is such a beautiful area, one of our sons attended App State. As for Michigan, my husband and I grew up in Lansing and now have a home near East Jordan up north. We just picked up our Ollie on Monday so the batteries are still over 90%, we may just be that we had the wrong adapter or accidentally left something on inside. Thank you for the thoughts though. We have a lot to learn about our new Ollie 😉

Thank you Bill and nice to meet you as well. I will get our signature updated, good suggestion.

My husband Scott & I picked up our Ollie this past Monday. We decided to name her Pearl. She is now part of a growing family…. We have “Dug” (our Kioti tractor) and “Moe” (our John Deere rider) 😉 We’ve never owned a travel trailer before so there is a TON to learn. I love the resources that are on this site and really appreciate the advice that all of you give on a regular basis. We will hopefully feel more confident as time goes by. The only question that I have so far is an electrical one. We are storing Pearl at a storage facility that only offers a 110v outlet. They had an adaptor that they said would work, but it tripped the GFI on their outlet pole within seconds each time we tried to plug in. I”m guessing that maybe we just need a different type of adaptor? Have a great day! Scott & Cindy
