Harley Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Hello everyone. I saw my first Ellite 2 in Columbus Montana today. It was beautiful. I don't want to come off as some kind of a stalker but my wife and I have been wanting to look at an Oliver for awhile. I did not get a hull number as we passed on main street but if you get this please message back. If you are still in the area and willing to show it we would absolutely be indebted to you. Thanks bunches! Harley. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harley Posted July 20, 2021 Author Share Posted July 20, 2021 Thanks for the info. Not sure what campground they are staying at though. I was traveling for work when we passed. Thought I would give the forum a try! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are planning a trip up through E Washington, then south through Montana and Idaho later this summer. The air quality is really variable, it is great here at this time (31) but was 175 yesterday for a few hours. The Windy app will show the next four days of smoke if you select the Air Quality layer. I use the PM2.5 setting since that is smoke particles. Here is right now: And here is four days from now: I can’t recommend camping in Idaho or Montana unless you have no respiratory sensitivities and also have a HEPA filter to run inside the Ollie. There is about half a million acres burning in WA state alone. It is not a good time to be headed downwind from that. BTW the GAIA nav app has a current wildfire layer in the Pro version, it is quite useful but I have found that it is not very current, you should always refer to a wildfire website map. I find this whole issue to be very distressing. I have smoke allergies and it really makes me miserable.

I hope the wildfire situation doesn't get worse, but it is so early in the season, I expect it will be a long time before fires subside. It saddens me to see the devastation to our beautiful resources. We use the GAIA wildfire layer as well as inciweb. I will check out Windy.com Fortunately, neither of us has smoke sensitivities, although any excessive smoke isn't good for the lungs. We hope to do a bit of traveling in Sept/October; we'll just have to monitor and pick the best time and place. With so many variables - mosquitos (which I am allergic to), overflowing campgrounds, fires, and weather, just to name a few, enjoying RV life has become more and more of a challenge. I want the "old days" back. 1 1 Ray and Susan Huff Elite II Twin "Pearl" - Hull#699; delivered December 7, 2020 2013 F350 6.7l diesel Super Duty 4x4 long bed crew cab 1UP-USA Heavy-duty bike rack 2017 Leisure Travel Van Unity Twin Bed (sold) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harley Posted July 21, 2021 Author Share Posted July 21, 2021 That would be awsome Jim. I sent you a pm. Hopefully I did it correctly. Thanks so much for everyone's help and info. I love how Ollie owners come to the aid of others. Hopefully I can be of help in the future as well! Harley. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
