Spotted an Oliver!

[Townesw]

Today, headed east on US Highway 1, just outside Ellsworth ME eastern city limits. Burgundy and gray stripes. Black TV. I was driving the white Chevrolet truck, waving with both hands, not pulling a trailer. Does anyone here belong to it?

Could be Maniac - the last I saw he the Tow Vehicle was dark (blue I think).

Don’t think it was him. I’ve been PMing Maniac. He said by his count he thinks there are 10-12 Olivers in ME this week.

[Mainiac]

Nope, not us. Ours is sitting in a field about 60 miles south of there. It has just been put back together inside after threading a new WiFi booster antenna wire. The old antenna had some how vanished. Maybe a low hanging branch? The whip was gone, but the magnet part was still there. You would have thought anything hitting the whip hard enough to break it off would have "popped" the magnet. An aside: according to Jason, the factory uses white silicone to seal the hole, stating more flexible than other choices. Knew we carried a small tube for a reason.

Our TV is a Ram, Forrest Green. That means it is green if the sun is on it directly. Otherwise it is black. The OTT has a State of Maine outline blue with the state seal on the nose instead of the usual logo.

Might be Walter Jenkins..he is going into Lobster Bouy CG?

We think it was Walter Jenkins. Saw a picture of his outfit on the Facebook group and that looked like the rig we saw.

This is Walters rig.

 

 

 

[Townesw]

Yes. Pretty sure that was it.

We were there last week on our way from Addison. Made an obligatory stop at the LL Bean outlet.

We loved the weather which was 40 degrees in the morning. Used the furnace whilst camping, but back at home it is in the 90's.

 

Cheers,

Turns out it isn’t Walter Jenkins. The owners saw our post on the Facebook Group and said it was them.

[Mainiac]

Walter is in S.Thomaston, which is a peninsula south of Ellsworth. Who was in Ellsworth? One thing we found out about spending time in Addison, take a real good book. You probably will have time to read it twice...

 

[Townesw]

It was #301. From Ohio. Don’t know their forum name. Staying somewhere on the Schoodic Peninsula.

Bill and Martha, I changed the name of your thread to just “Spotted an Oliver”. I spotted one today and thought it might be better to just have a thread for sightings in general. If you don’t agree just let me know.

 

We were on I-25 just west of Santa Fe, NM at about 2:00 today and saw an Elite II going the other way. TV was a dark pickup, I didn’t get a good look. We weren’t towing but we’re returning to our trailer at Cochiti Lake COE from Bandelier National Monument. Mike

Spotted an Elite II in my mirror heading south on I-81 around Blacksburg VA Sunday 6/17 late morning, could not see tow vehicle. We were heading north to Lock Haven PA with Ollie. Gave tours of Ollie in VA and PA, too!!!!!

Hi Again,

 

We are back in Ohio and saw this post, so replying again (we had previously replied via FB). We had a great time at Acadia and enjoyed staying at the Schoodic Woods Campground which is in the Schoodic area of the park. Very quiet campground with a lovely loop drive bringing you to Schoodic Point in 10 minutes. On our way home we made a quick stop at Freeport to run into the LL Bean Flagship store around 7:00 am. We parked in the RV parking lot down the street next to another Oliver (also with gray/burgundy stripes). It was still parked there when we left around 45 minutes later.

Saw an Elite 2 heading west on I40 Asheville NC at 2:15PM Wednesday 10/10 in the rain. We were towing Ollie heading east!

[SeaDawg]

Caught a glimpse if an Elite Ii headed north on I-95, near Richmond Hill exit 90, just south of Savannah.

Happy camping!

 

[SeaDawg]

And, another one! Near mm 20 on I95, just north of the Florida/Georgia line.

Dark pickup with a cap. 

Two Ollies in one day and one state. 😊

[topgun2]

Both headed to the Non-Rally?
