Oliver ordered today!

Recommended Posts

Hi all,  you may remember that my wife was hesitant to buy an Oliver due to cost.   We paid our deposit today!   We chose November 7 as it's a Monday so if we encounter any issues we can high tail it back to the Oliver people before heading back to Oregon.   Thanks for all your posts.   It's been very helpful.   You haven't heard the last from me.   It's probably been the tip of the iceberg actually.   Have a good weekend.

Good move!

Now, you get to do the fun stuff of picking out options, colors, etc.  Hopefully your wife likes to do that sort of stuff because I found that to be the hardest part of the whole deal - well - maybe writing that big check was slightly interesting 😉.

Nice to really have you with us and I truly hope that you will enjoy your Ollie as much as I've enjoyed mine.

@John Welte, I  think picking a Monday was a great idea. Camp three or four days around Hohenwald,  try everything,  learn all the new systems,  and enjoy.

That was my thought after reading the forum.   You all have been very helpful.   Hopefully the weather will be OK then.

November in Hohenwald is often beautiful.  It's in the edge of the Cumberland plateau. It may be chilly, but likely beautiful. 

I'd be more worried about campsites on the way home, than in Tennessee.  But, many others have done the trek west in much colder months.
