New 2026 Olly 2’s

[Against The Wind]

Hello friends. Just wondering if anyone has seen information or pics of 2026s yet. Thanks. 😊 

[Against The Wind]

Well friends, ask and you shall receive. Got an email from OTT coupla days ago showing off the new windows and listing changes made to the 2026 model E2. It’s my understanding the new windows open outward ( similar to some food trucks) but my question is how the shades and screens work on the inside. Has anyone heard about this operation or am I living under a rock? As always, thanks so much for your intel.

UPDATE: Shades are new

Probably the same frame/blinds as current Olivers. The windows and frames/blinds operate independently.

 

Please post the other changes

 Thank You

What speaker?

Just saw this pic of the 2026 Oliver “retro” interior with roller style window shades. 😳 Appears that the interior window latch may rub on the shade. Also note the white belly band instead of chrome.

I saw that on Facebook and commented. Definitely not a fan of the new blinds! They look cheap compared to the current version, and that spot where it rests on the window handle looks like a wear/puncture point, as well as just plain ugly. The TV looks smaller, and the cable entry for the TV swapped sides. Chrome belly band seems to break up the interior better to my eyes. Overall, *I* think it is a step backwards in quality appearance.

The old Pullman Sleeper Cars had nicer looking blinds. They were nice and tight, not like a pillow🙃

Hard to be sure, but it looks like the overhead speakers are gone. We like the old sound system for music and videos. I'm glad the swing out windows are here, but they usually have integrated shades/screens in other RVs. Those bulgy shades look sketchy.

I’d read in another post here or on Facebook that the speakers are gone, replaced by Bluetooth speakers. I don’t know if that is an option or standard equipment.

I’ve never used the inbuilt audio system. We don’t use DVDs, and we have a Sonos Move for streaming audio inside or out.

We use these speakers on occasion, only when Chris connects music on her phone by Bluetooth. I don't like the speaker right on top of my head in front dinette seat. We use a high quality soundbar for TV and can stream or play DVD/Blu-Ray/CD music there with a player installed in the attic (better than cut into the walls)!

The interior hull would be better without the 4 large speaker holes, 16 screw holes. I'd go without the Furrion head too! But there are not many of us who would sell our Oliver to buy a new one for a few features, plus or minus!

Heck, if we got a new Oliver I go without any factory options and then I'd have to rework all the mods I've worked over the last 2 years. Life is not long enough! 🤣

We use the built-in audio quite a bit. When we stream video to the TV we use the ARC channel to put the audio on the speakers. We also like to find local FM stations, especially the little independent ones, that have things like farm reports and swap meets. If Steph sleeps in, I use the A/B speaker selector to choose only the front speakers. I have music on a flash drive in the Furrion head as well and, once in a while, we'll break out a DVD.

Ditto on the audio with the 4 speakers.  Often we don't get a cell signal so pulling in something FM or listening to an old CD is our only fix to our technology addiction.  After two years we have never used the TV. I have considered removing it.

We use the speakers quite a bit.  I bought a small used SiriusXM receiver from Amazon 7 or 8 years ago.  I wired it into the Furrion and we can listen to news, sports and any of the music stations wherever we are.  Mike

We use to use our interior speakers occasionally as well. More often we use a set of portable JBL Flip 6 Bluetooth speakers and stream XM radio music or news sourced from our iphones or iPad. The sound is excellent and they are super portable! We are very happy with the Flip 6’s. They typically live on our Yamaha Umax, (pic) unless we are traveling in XPLOR.

In this pic I have the set attached to our Yamaha Umax 2+2. I would not hesitate to buy again. 🎶

Before I finished reading your post, the very end of your post had already passed through my brain🤣

In addition to the induction cooktop change, it was also noted that the cooktop orientation will be changed back to left/right instead of front/back. I don't know if induction cooktops have a cover like the propane version, but it was nice having the cover protect the bedding from any splatter. Also having the cooktop oriented front/back gave more prep space between it and the sink.

I hope the induction cooktop is an option, and propane is still available. Especially for buyers not getting the big lithium packages. We don't have any pots or pans in the trailer or at home that would function on an induction cooktop other than a porcelain dutch oven and the few cast iron skillets I still use. I wouldn't want to have to buy all new cookware.

We purchased a portable induction cook top and have hardly used the propane cook top however we're glad to have it as an alternative if need be. It's nice to have options especially when boondocking. The portable induction also gives us the option of cooking outdoors using the outside AC outlet, I like having both options. Luckily our pots / pans work with it.  

We use the Furrion system in ARC mode when watching YouTube and movies.  It's not audiophile quality but it's pretty good for it's intended purpose. Its frequency response seems to favor applications like YouTube and movies and somewhat less for audio / music reproduction, not a lot of dynamic range.
