Cheers from hull# 1346!

[Happy Feat]

We are the new owners of Piccolino (original name as we have not yet had a decommissioning/recommissioning ceremony with appropriate amounts of rum to change the name) hull # 1346 and are on our inaugural trip from MA to Mayport FL. We had a fabulous experience with the previous owners and are thrilled with our new rolling nest and our new tow vehicle aka The Beast, 2024 GMC 2500HD Denali using the Gen-y Boss hitch. Jason and Kelly were so helpful as we marched up our learning curve in towing and Oliver's. This forum has also been a great source of information, thanks to you all.

So far, our tow experience has been great, feeling very stable and at ease underway. Our first two nights saw temperatures down to 14F and we remained warm and dry.  Unit is winterized with composting head so no worries for frozen lines.

We have previously owned a 2016 J Navion and a 2019 Tiffen 34PA and are finding our Oliver to be so well designed, engineered and manufactured. But I have to admit, I still need to understand how the toilet paper holder is designed! 

See you on the road!

No one told you!

It's automatic!

All you have to do is figure out a way of backing up to it.😁

Welcome to our world and its great to have you as a part of the family.

Have a safe trip and if you've not already done so - give the Oliver University a through look.

Congrats. You will have big shoes to fill. Jason & Kelly's trips were epic.

We went a similar Class-A, Class-C to Oliver route. Now I'm comfortable driving to any campsite in the National Forest! TP NP, as great as the Oliver is, it will need some mods!

Congrats on your new to you Oliver and welcome to the forum.

Ask lots of questions and enjoy safe travels.

[Mike and Carol]

Welcome to the group!  Glad you’re able to get on the road so fast, you’ll find it so easy to tow with your “Beast”!  Mike

[Ronbrink]

Another back up plan and mod. Tight quarters may curtail proper implementation of any suggested ‘backing up’ maneuvers!

Congratulations and welcome!  From the looks of your first picture, it looks like you may already be in Mayport!  The cabbage palms, sunshine, blue skies and the Atlantic Ocean in the background lead me to think you made the trip south successfully, congratulations.

Congratulations! Always happy to welcome another Ollie to the Sunshine State!

Welcome home!
