Ollie in the Wild!


Patriot

Recommended Posts

We just  just spent a week at Bear Den CG just North of Spruce Pine, NC. ️ with Hull# 634 which performed flawlessly. It was a well needed vacation post our blueberry harvest.
We took time and spent a lot of time learning our Ollies systems-  Love Love the Truma, long instant hot showers a win.I think it took like 6-8 seconds for us to have constant hot water at the kitchen sink and sink/shower. Microwave convection oven a must have for us. We were easily able to quickly cook/heat meals during a heavy storm one evening. Full hook ups allowed us to use our black and gray tanks seamlessly. The generator tray was extremely useful for a number of tasks. (We did not take our Honda generator this trip). Our AC kept us cool and cycled as it should. We did run the Dometic furnace on a cool 60 degree morning and it performed great. All in all a great safe week!  A few photos....of our great State of North Carolina! 😊🇺🇸 Our Tundra CrewMax and it’s reliability delivered and performed outstanding.

Check out Bear Den if your ever traveling the gorgeous elevations of the Blue Ridge Parkway. 
Happy Camping!

Thanks for sharing your New Oliver experience.  I am jealous . . . . . . but our day will come . . . . . . 180 days and counting - that's less than 200 😁

I think I've asked before, so sorry if this is a repeat:  What color are your graphics?

Thanks . . . . that is what I thought.

We are ordering just the pinstriped swoosh - no front logo; not spare tire logo.

I would like to have the old style "Oliver Elite II" - the one liner.  I haven't asked Oliver yet if they can do this.

Our Pickup is silver, but if we should every change that, silver goes with anything 😊

Even if they can’t, it’s just text and at the very least they could tell you the font and size and you could have it made locally.

Susan, I asked for “Mouse” to be delivered with no side graphics. I wanted the descriptive labels, just no swooshes. The trailer was delivered completely naked on the sides, so I ordered two sets of the “Oliver Legacy Elite II” stickers straight from the Service Department, no worries, and installed them myself in a straight line. It is not at all hard, but it does take some prep, patience and care. If you don’t have all three of those, get somebody else to install them.

I put “Oliver“ at the back on each side, mirror imaged side to side, see pics. I prefer this to the factory positioning. They are visually centered under the rear windows, and the bottom edges align with each other about 6 inches below the belt seam.

I suspect that they will be reluctant to install them in a non-standard way, but maybe they could be persuaded to just leave them off, and put them in a galley drawer for you to install later....?

We would like to do this too . . . .  unfortunately, our RV carport isn't at the house, but "at the ranch" - 1/4 mile down a private road.  Not sure if the electric set up there will support this.  We might consider building a new RV carport at the house as we can always use the other for equipment storage.  It's a bit large for the Oliver, since it was built for a 30'l x 13'h fifth wheel with room for a slide.  We have timber, a sawmill (photo of sawmill shed attached) etc.  My husband is always looking for things to build 😊

What we like about the metallic silver is that in the shade it’s a bit darker and sun light much lighter and brighter. The same as our Tundra...kinda cool FWIW. Silver is a timeless color. 👍🏻

And there's only one Metallic silver grey to choose from.  I don't have to decide - grey, middle grey, or dark grey.  I appreciate the recommendation.  That's one decision I don't have to make. . . . . . . Narrowing down the details 😖

We just spent a 4 nights at Willow Tree Campground in Longs SC. We really prefer the beach in the cool of the fall season as the heat and sand gnats are not as bad. This is one of the nicest privately owned CG’s we have ever visited. Nice and very modern clean bath houses, a lot of paved bicycle trails one of which surrounds a fairly large lake.
Swimming, fishing, and kayaking is allowed and lots of places to get out and walk. The sites are really large and spacious with nice and level concrete pads. It’s located about 20 minutes from Myrtle Beach and we enjoyed some really amazing seafood. We had a really great meal at the Sea Captains house on the grand strand. 
Happy Fall Camping! 

Somewhere over the rainbow..

Patriot,

I think I saw you towing on SC 22… it is so rare to see an Oliver, and I’m always on the lookout. My home is just down from the Willow Tree campground, also on SC905.  
 

This time of year Huntington Beach State Park may have availability, and it is more quiet than Myrtle Beach State Park.

Ollie in the wild!! Enjoying several days of Blue Ridge Mountain camping fun and a little trout fishing on the Toe River. We really enjoy like Mountain River Family CG and one of the nicest in the the Blue Ridge, so we are back again. A little fire side fresh venison chili from last falls hunt was perfect for last nights dinner at 51 degrees. We give this CG 🤩.
The owners are awesome folks who camp and know what campers enjoy.

Happy Camping!
