Hahaha It's -29 now. Thank goodness it's only 9 mph of wind, though. I can move south in about 2-3 years.

I am taking steps to have cash in hand and watching Facebook. That one in St. Cloud MN just might be the one! And it's close to me (ND)! I'll reach out with a message. Thanks.

I might be ready to buy a used Oliver Elite II (older than 2022) twin bed by June or July. (Fingers crossed) I've been researching the Oliver for at least two years now. I had to do some other things first. Got my master's degree and started developing an online biology course for high schoolers (I'm a teacher). It's time to find an Oliver. I've owned campers before and love life in the outdoors. It sure would be nice to find one with special features for off-gridding. I will be networking to speak with anyone who wants to sell their Oliver come summer time. I'm not interested in going through a dealership, though.

I know posting Olivers for sale on the website has been removed to ensure dealerships are used in the transaction. I was wondering if there are other forums developed so people can buy directly from owners.

I am not a mechanic or tire specialist. (Hence, I'm coming to you guys.) First, I understand Oliver's tires are different from the usual camper tires. Word on camper websites is that the 80 psi tires have a thin sidewall. Wouldn't it be better to have a 110 rim and 110 psi tire? When I buy mine, I will be going down some bumpy dirt roads and truly off-gridding. Also, what is the tire on the Oliver? I see it has "Premium Aluminum Rims with 10-ply Tires" and is 80 psi. Does the Oliver tire have a thick sidewall and good tread depth? Do they last on the road or have problems with needing frequent replacement? Any thoughts on this?
