Thanks. I put shampoo and conditioner bottles there and they fell out during travel. I will try different size bottles.

Thanks. I will check them out.

We have decided to keep the back bed made up, and not use the table. The only problem is the metal brackets. It is uncomfortable to roll over into the brackets. But also - they are visible - at least 3"+ above the mattress. Does anyone have any suggestions for hiding these brackets? Thanks for your help.

We have an Oliver Elite I, and there is a double towel rack with small shelf below the sink. It is fairly unusable as is. If you use the shelf, items slide off. You can hang a washcloth and that is about it. How do others use this space? Thanks in advance.

Good info. I appreciate it.

Thanks, Bill.

Thanks Bill. Ethylene glycol, no. Propylene glycol, yes. Should be harmless or at least not critically toxic like auto antifreeze. How do you dispose of the waste water when dewinterizing? Drain out onto the ground?

We are getting ready to head west from the Nashville area in a week or so and so I will be dewinterizing the Ollie for the first time. My question is around managing the fluids as I do so primarily for safety of the neighborhood dogs. (Don’t own one but many in the neighborhood.) RV antifreeze is not supposed to be toxic but I don’t want to take any chances. How/where do you dispose of the fluids resulting from the dewinterizing process? This is the product I used to winterize.

Great points, Bill. Oliver is sending a replacement shade as well as new clips, so hopefully between that and the spacer information we can get the shades mounted firmly. Although, I am really tempted to take @coddiwomple 's appoach. Looks like a very secure way to mount them. I appreciate your input.

I also stumbled across a post by @Coddiwomple that provides another nice solution.

John, That definitely helps. How did you discover the fiberglass spacer, since it was presumably hidden on the back of the clip? I will definitely check this out. Bob

Relatively new LE I owners here. We did about 20+ days on the road after picking it up this summer. We are loving everything about our LE I - except, a day on the road nearly always results in one or more window shades falling off at some point during the day. We pick them up and re-mount them and continue on. A quick search of the forum shows that it is not uncommon, however, we recently had one break as a result of falling. Oliver has been great in getting us a replacement but I want to find a remedy before we break another. (Actually the shade material gets buggered up a bit when the fall as well.) Has anyone found a sure fire method of preventing the shades from falling off? Would you consider a drop of super glue on a couple of the clips? We mount them top first and then a firm hand to the bottom to lock them in. They always appear firmly mounted before we take off. Thinking out loud here, I wonder if the LE I single axle is more prone to shades coming loose since it may be a bit more prone to bounce when hitting a bump in the road. We are getting ready for an extended trip in a couple weeks and I would like to find a solution. I know there's a window shade subject matter expert out there. I just need to find him/her. 🙂

Thanks John. I will check these sites out.

Hi, Bob and I (Barb) just purchased an Elite and brought it home yesterday. We are very excited and have several questions. I will start with the bedding. It is a bit smaller than a double bed, with rounded corners on two sides. Since our cushions are leather, we want to put a mattress pad on the cushions. 1.Has anyone had any success getting a mattress pad that would fit or would we need to cut down the corners? 2.Any thoughts on sheets that would work with the rounded corners? Thanks for your help.
