Greetings from Texas!

[Jay T. Norcross]

Hello everyone; just a quick intro to say hello and to advise that I've joined the Oliver movement. I took delivery of a new-to-me Ollie LE last weekend; a barely-used 2022 model which the previous owner loaded up to the gills with all of the available bells and whistles. I was really fortunate to find it, and I demonstrated my interest by immediately flying to Florida from Texas two weekends ago to view it and subsequently "claim" it. I brought "Zuni" home last weekend, and now I'm going through the same growing pains as everyone else in trying to learn all of the on-board systems. So far, so good (other than that annoying water heater recall, for which parts are back-ordered for). I look forward to putting her on the road in another week, and I already have several long-haul trips planned for April and June. Stay safe, everyone!

Hi Jay, welcome to the group and congrats on your “new” Oliver!  You probably know about the Texas Oliver rally that’s in the fall.  Hope to meet you there.  Mike

Jay - 

Welcome to the Family!  

If you have not already been there it is in your best interest to become VERY familiar with the Oliver University - which can be found HERE.

Being from TX it is a fair drive to get to Hohenwald, TN, but, if you can make it there and/or to the Annual Oliver Owner's Rally it would be time well spent.  And, of course, there is the TX Owner's Rally that Mike mentions above.

If there is anything that we can do for you - just ask!

Bill

Hulls # 1016 and 1045, no offense please, but y’all are pretty much kissin’ cousins!

Your systems both 2022s, the installations should be very close, and Jay, John D can be a great resource for you. Welcome!

Welcome  from hull #12, 2008. Hoping you enjoy your Ollie as much as we have for 17 seasons.

Thanks everyone, for the warm welcome. I wasn't aware of the upcoming rally but I'll be looking into it now.

Hello Bill. I've been stalking Ollies for years, and I (finally) visited the factory in Hohenwald over the past Thanksgiving holidays while visiting friends in Hendersonville (just outside of Nashville). Fortunately, with OTT's use of third-party dealers now, I have an authorized repair facility about 10 miles away from me. I don't imagine that would ever be as good as returning Zuni to the mothership, but in a pinch, I'll consider using the local rep. Thank you for your offer of assistance!

@Jay T. Norcross - Greetings, Jay and welcome to the OTT Family...  As an admitted "stalker for years" you'll already know how useful these forums are for challenges you may experience and how much exceptional camaraderie they provide.  Welcome Aboard, from Casablanca HULL #226!

Hi Bill. Thank you for the recommendation. Part of my due diligence prior to pulling the trigger on Zuni was practically wearing out the Oliver University site, along with YouTube, and watching video after video. There are tremendous resources available in both places, and I'm sure I'll continue to visit them frequently. Cheers!
