Popular Post MAX Burner Posted February 26, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 26, 2023 Hey, Ollies': Diane and I are long-time Airstreamers, however downsized in '21 to a Casita and just now dropped the hammer on Hull #225. We've been influence by our friends here in NM for several years about getting into an Oliver. We're planning on collecting our "new to us" rig early next month. We've been lurking around the Ollie Forums for over a year and look forward to meeting y'all either on the road or on the web!

MAX Burner Posted March 6, 2023 Author Share Posted March 6, 2023 Thanks to all for the "hearty welcome" to the Oliver family. We look forward to meeting y'all on the road... PLEASE NOTE CORRECTION: Our hull number is #226 not my typo-ed "#225" posted earlier. Anyhow, we collected our rig on Saturday in Roswell, NM... It was just all so "Alien" to me, ha! It's a perfect rig for us - Magnus, in particular, loves it (WOOF!). Even in moderate to high crosswind conditions, it towed fantastically with the Anderson WDH behind the Tundra for the 175-mile run back home yesterday afternoon. Here's what our "new-to-us" #226 looks like: 7 Art, Diane, Magnus & Oscar (double-Aaarrf!) 2022 TUNDRA 2017 LE II; Hull #226 "Casablanca" HAM call-sign: W0ABX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators topgun2 Posted March 6, 2023 Moderators Share Posted March 6, 2023 Glad that things went well. You might want to contact Oliver to let them know that you (or Magnus) are the new owner so that you will be notified in the unlikely event of a recall or service notice. Enjoy the heck out of it!

Good choice of tow vehicles with your 2022 Tundra. It has about 500 lbs. greater payload capacity than our 2019 Tundra, which is still adequate to tow our Hull #1291. We are getting along fine, but that extra 500 lbs. of payload will be nice to have. 1 Hull #1291 Central Idaho 2022 Elite II Tow Vehicle: 2019 Tundra Double Cab 4x4, 5.7L with tow package Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! The Tundra matches up nice with the LE II so far... The gray/black tanks were empty & fresh water tank was about 70% on our way back from collecting the rig last weekend. Fairly brutal crosswinds all the way back home about 175 miles, but it pulled fine! Minimal sway (if any) with the Anderson. It'll be interesting to measure the tongue & axle weitghts after its loaded for our next trip. 3 Art, Diane, Magnus & Oscar (double-Aaarrf!) 2022 TUNDRA 2017 LE II; Hull #226 "Casablanca" HAM call-sign: W0ABX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
