Texas Oliver Rally 2025

[Donna and Scott]

The Texas Oliver Rally 2025, for Oliver Owners only, will be held October 20, 21, 22.  Checking in Oct 20 and checking out Oct 23 at Lake Mineral Wells State Park.  For those interested in attending starting May 20 you can reserve a campsite.

A potluck dinner is scheduled for Oct 21 and. BBQ dinner us scheduled for Oct 22.  A hall at the campground has been reserved for these dates.  Paula Ratcliff has arranged for live music for the potluck dinner.

 

I have contacted Truma and they will have a service rep on site.  If you need service, you are to contact Shelley Deisinger at s.deisinger@trumacorp.com be sure and let her know you are at a campsite during our rally.

I did reach out to Girard but they let me know they will not be at our rally.

 

A representative of the Oliver approved dealer in Ft Worth, United RV will be providing the BBQ dinner.  However I had to reserve the group dining hall at $180 per day, so I hope everyone will contribute to this cost.

Hopefully someone from Oliver will also be there.  Jason E.  Attended our last one.

Jason said there will be an Oliver Rep at our rally.  I am also in talks with Lippert who is the Girard Awning folks..  they may consider attending but may also provide a door prize for the BBQ night

After May 20 I will post a link to a Google Sheets so you can add your name and site and if you plan to participate in the potluck and BBQ.  It will also have a place for you to put your hull #.  It is the only way I know that shows you are an Oliver Owner.

[Donna and Scott]

I received a response from Lippert (Girard Awnings).  Here is a copy of the response.

"Thank you for your response. We have taken note of your selections and confirmed your rally on our calendar. We are excited to kick off a successful rally season together! 

 

  

 

Here's what you can expect from Lippert this year:

 

 

 

Rally Coupon Code: This will be a discount code provided to all rally goers to use at our online store. This coupon code will be for 20% off any items on our online store.

 

Door Prize/Giveaway: This will be an item selected and donated by Lippert for you to use as a door prize or giveaway for your rally.

 

Welcome Bag Kit: This will include items for attendees with information about Lippert plus a few SWAG items."

 

I was specific that it was for Oliver Trailers, so hopefully it is items we can use.

I believe I will have to pass a hat.  We don't do any banking online.  I was going to suggest maybe in the form of gift cards but then an activation fee is involved.

[Teaney Hull 292]

Scott I’ll bring cash to share the cost if Venmo or Zelle, or what ever way people send money does not work for you. 

[Donna and Scott]

Here is the link of those planning to attend the Texas Oliver Rally 2025.  This is a link to Google Sheets.  Hopefully we will be adding more names starting May 20th.

If you already have reserved a site and your name isn't on this list, please add it or let me know to add you.  Also please put a count for the potluck and BBQ.  Thanks everyone for your assistance in ensuring a great turnout.

Great news.  A rep for Girard Awnings will be at our rally.  This was confirmed by email to me.  Kelsey Sacha, Lippert Rally Coordinator.Support, spoke with her Team and said a Girard Rep would attend to do Q&A.

We are one month away at having the opportunity to reserve a site through TPWD for the Texas Rally.

Did you miss the Oliver Rally in Guntersville Maybe you attended and loved the rally experience and want to attend another rally this year. Here is another opportunity for Owners of Oliver Travel Trailers for October 2025. The last gathering of Oliver Owners just before most winterize.  If you are a member of the Oliver Travel trailers FB Group, there is a link there to join the Ollie Rolling Rally facebook group. All the information for this Rally will be under the events tab in that group. There are 25 sites already booked , several sites still available in the park. Electric and water at most sites. the address of the park is: Lake Mineral Wells State Park, 100 Park Road 71, Mineral Wells, TX 76067 ( https://tpwd.texas.gov/publications/pwdpubs/media/park_maps/pwd_mp_p4503_103f.pdf )

However, if Facebook is not your thing, I am also posting on this forum.

Next opportunity to start booking a site starts May 20th. Contact TPWD at 512-389-8900 and let them know you are attending the Texas Oliver Rally (or go online to https://www.reserveamerica.com/

Here is a link to the list if you choose to add yourself, and it has a place for you to indicate if you plan to attend the BBQ meal and/or Pot-Luck.  https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JPSsJth_EGWro75oJLbW6lk0SA1eYLZr5-prV1QHM-0/edit?usp=sharing 

Last year was our first Rally in Texas for Olivers. We had almost 50 Olivers at this rally. This year, we will have a BBQ meal provided by United RV, Reps from Girard Awning, Truma, and Oliver and we rented a hall at the park for two days, as well as a Pot-Luck lunch with live music.

We look forward to seeing you there.

Thanks so much for posting here.

As you probably realize - there are a fair number of members here that simply do not "do" Facebook for a variety of reasons.

True, and some don't do internet, but have email address.  Jason E told me back in Feb. that he would send out emails for me as well to let folks know about it

Yet another class act by the folks at Oliver.

 

[Donna and Scott]

Check the website often. Many people will cancel. Wish you luck!

That's a large park to be completely full. I cannot attend this year😞, but last year when I book at the same time, there were many available sites.

All sites in the campground?  I know the sites in the live oak loop are full, but when I checked yesterday there were still sites in other areas.

[Donna and Scott]

Here is the list of attendees that already have sites booked.  This list is a PDF, however in a previous post I did provide a link to a Google Sheets spreadsheet that you would be able to add your information and also if you planned to participate with the BBQ dinner and/or potluck lunch. TEXAS OLIVER RALLY 2025 - Google Sheets.pdf

Bev Caudex ha volunteered to do demonstration at the Rally on how to bake with your convection oven.  She will post a sign up sheet in the Ollie Rolling Rally FB group, but if you are interested let me know and I will give her your name.

Hi! I just added our names and info for the Texas Rally on the Rollin Rally Facebook page. I think I added to the Google sheet, too, but not sure it saved it or not. We'll be arriving on the 19th into site #84, Hull #671. If you need more info from us, let me know. Looking forward to meeting with everyone!

And I'm interested in learning a bit more about the Convection Oven cooking, so sign me up! Thanks!

[John and Jodi]

We just reserved site #79, arriving on the 19th as well. I put our names in the Google doc.
