The only reason I considered buying an Airsteram was I wouldn't have to wear my foil hat while inside, only outside, but went with the Oliver anyway. Worth the inconvenience.

I noticed while washing the trailer....the cover looked slightly mis-aligned, so checked the nut. Took about 6 or 7 full turns to tighten it back up.
Also, regarding washing...for those new to fiberglass and gel coat.... after owning several boats and now the Oliver, it's surprising the seemingly innocuous things that can cause a stain...in boats, suntan lotion, kids spilling juice, etc. can cause a stain that's very difficult to get out. Tree sap, bugs and unidentifiable road grime can as well. All this to say don't wait until the end of the season to wash your rig if you can help it. Helps to avoid little annoying stains that you wished you had taken care of sooner.

Recently finished a 7,000 mile trip over three-plus weeks, and we were well taken care of by Ollie. No issues whatsoever, running the gamut from boondocking to overnights at KOA in all kinds of weather. Started in NW Florida, up to Utah through TX & NM, over to Yellowstone, Tetons, explored Wyoming, headed east through Montana, ND, and across to Canada at Sault Ste Marie, Ontario, Quebec and ended in Downeast Maine. Will explore some of the Canadian Maritimes as best we can this summer.
As a heads-up, the only thing that went unnoticed the whole trip- the nut that holds the spare tire cover on loosened up about 1/3 of the way over 7,000 miles. Worth checking now and then to make sure it's tight.
(TV averaged 18.9 mpg for the trip)

I would remove the gutter and clean off all the old sealant then re-bed the gutter with a bead of the new sealant. It will make for a much longer lasting and reliable seal.

I have a late model 2015, has some 2016 features. Just drove over 2300 miles, without a single issue. No open drawers, no open storage cabinets, all systems working fine. Might be worthwhile for Oliver to evaluate the changes that have taken place since the 2016-2017 model years, especially production staffing and training since they have increased output.

Here's a different diesel option for, if Dodge and EPA ever see eye-to-eye. Just drove from Pensacola to Salt Lake City, with a stop in Canyonlands NP. Mileage hooked to trailer shown in photo. My actual calculated mileage was slightly higher.

Not a custom cover but I use one of these. Inexpensive, and should last a few seasons as long as you protect it from sharp corners like the bumper and solar panels. I cut up a swimming noodle and slipped it over those areas for protection.

Hi Brandi- Congrats on the red Oliver.
Assuming the blinds are the same as newer models, they just clip on to the windows with a little pressure. If you take a look at another window for the proper alignment, it should be quite easy to snap back on. No blinds for the door.

Your post shows, but when you click on it, says not found. Antivirus probably eliminated the post due to the word "Airstream". Don't want to get infected by leaking seams on this forum. ????

Wishful thinking.

I have them on my off road moped that I use to get to remote fishing spots.

That's a RotoPax set up....great idea if you have a flat surface with structural support behind to support the bracket.

The heater looks nice, and says it is safe for indoors, but you might want to double check on whether it's ok for the confines of the Ollie. I would worry about carbon monoxide for one, and the amount of moisture propane puts into the air, perhaps causing a moisture issue that you ordinarily would not have in an Oliver.

Saw those a couple of days ago... figured "Outlaw" or "Lone Star" should post on this forum..her video on " My Camper Broke in Half" is scary on s bunch of levels...

Thanks. After I applied loctite to the screws, I noticed that it was easy to get the latch out of alignment. There is about 1/4" of adjustment room in the slot in the hinge. I found that if that was adjusted properly it would catch enough of the plastic lip so that it would not pop open.

I ran into the same dilemma when I brought my Ollie to the factory for an upgrade..... the options are few and far between- I didn't even venture into the parking lot of the options in Hoenwald. I ended up picking the Commodore Inn in Linden, about 1/2 hour west of the factory, based on the reviews on Trip Advisor. It was clean, but VERY dated, and kind of like staying in the spare bedroom of that very first fixer upper house you bought when you were younger...????.

I did see the other Ollie in the photo. Meant to comment, but got sidetracked. BTW- park service says all of the non-reservation campgrounds in Yosemite are closed until sometime in July due to heavy snow. Had to make reservations at a campground in June at a nearby state park to see Yosemite this year, as you recommended.

Thanks!....I was hoping to have redundancy by having the IPN ProRemote set also, but it looks like it is as good as its going to get.
-
My charge controller is, and always has, had the equalization function disabled, or "OFF". So equalization is not occurring. The IPN ProRemote however, is still set at the factory settings. I don't see in the manual anywhere what it should be set at to prevent equalization, just a note indicating that AGMs should never be equalized. Without knowing precisely how to disable equalization in the IPN ProRemote, I was hesitant to cycle through the settings. Does anyone know if I should look for ? .... "OFF", or do you set the the parameters to zero, or answer "NO"?... just trying to verify what "no equalization" looks like on that unit.
Thanks.

Perfect- thank you....

Buzzy- I would like to see the parameters Stacey helped you with. Would you mind posting? Thanks.

We only use the small filler cushion and the underlying support at night when the dog is with us. The filler cushion is removed and and support section is stowed away under the mattress during the day. So the only time we do not have access to the drawer in the night stand is when we are asleep.

The stainless looks like it was no fun to cut through...looks neat and durable though. Good job

Don't know if this helps....Here is a photo of the inside of the vanity from a project I did earlier. I believe the black tank vent is the pipe on the far left of the photo.
