Resurrecting this old thread from @dhaig with a question for those who used the Harbor Freight suction cup lifters (https://www.harborfreight.com/4-58-in-85-lb-dual-suction-cup-lifter-59689.html). I assembled this towel bar with the HF lifters. I tested it on the side of the Ollie for about 5 minutes, then removed it. The black suction cups left black rings on the gel-coat. The rings wiped off but I'm concerned. Has anyone else seen this? Thanks, Tony

Hello to the Ollie crossing the Knik River bridge on the Glenn Hwy. in Alaska. Our son passed you southbound about 15 minutes ago.

We just registered. FYI: The Oliver on-line registration doesn't accept arrival dates before the 21st. but we're arriving on 20 Oct.

Try Tire Discounters. When I added TPMS sensors I supplied steel stems from Summit Racing and Tire Discounters installed them and rebalanced the tires at no charge. Guess where I'll buy my next tires?

Bumping this @Galway Girlthread from almost a year ago. Various posts about loose wires in the Transfer Switch and EMS prompted me to check Hull 251. Luckily all the wire connections are securely attached. I tried to snug up all the connections, just-in-case, and was surprised when the main power switching board in the EMS moved. It is just laying on the circuit boards. Looks like another chore to add to the list.

Thanks @mountainoliver, that was the problem. My display is in the basement/trunk and I couldn't see the switch until I put a flashlight on it. My switch also is not recessed, it sticks out, so something must have bumped it on the road. Thanks again, Tony

All, I'm plugged into shore power and I think everything's working. I've looked at the EMS manual and found the error codes but didn't see how/where to turn the EMS on. Can someone tell me how to turn the EMS on? Thanks, Tony

@ScubaRx Great idea! I hadn't thought of a trophy shop. I'm anxious to see the results. Do you have or need the original artwork? If so, I think @topgun2 has it or I can send it to you if needed. Thanks, Tony

@topgun2 Yes, you sent me the files. I just can't find anyone to make one plaque at a reasonable price. Hopefully one of the other plaque-less owners has found someone. Tony

Reviving an old thread. Has anyone found a vendor of metal business cards that can produce the hull number plaques? I'm looking for a business card plaque as close to original as I can find. After several inquires, I've found one Etsy vendor who can make a not very close to original looking plaque. Has anyone had more success? Thanks, Tony

Probably depends on the weight of the new shade and amount of contact area but do you think rubber cement would work? Easy to apply, easy to remove and inexpensive.

Hopefully I'm posting in the appropriate thread and it has not already been posted here. Just saw this on Bloomberg via MSN: https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/ford-recalls-4-4-million-vehicles-on-trailer-controller-flaw/ar-AA1X88AR?ocid=hpmsn&cvid=69a1a8ea953d4482be96a7f27cdc157f&ei=145 Bloomberg (subscription required): https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-02-26/ford-recalls-4-4-million-pickups-suvs-on-lighting-system-flaw

We've installed a LevelMate Pro and it seems to work well. I ran into an issue when zeroing it out. Front to back wasn't a problem but our Ollie has a slight crown right to left. I tried to split the difference when calibrating the LevelMate Pro. @Ronbrink's post above about leveling his Norcold has me rethinking this. We had issues with a non-working furnace in another RV when the rig wasn't level. Don't want this to happen with the Ollie. We also have the 3-way Norcold. As @Ronbrink mentions, the top of the frig door should work for front to back. What about right to left? Are the internal shelves 'level' or do they slope in or out? Is there another place that would be better to use for level? Thanks, Tony

Doesn't @jd1923's post from Oct. 2024 solve two possible problems: preventing (or slowing down) theft and locking the tray in position?
