Finally Dropped the Hammer...

[MAX Burner]

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!  Stay safe out there -

Best,

A, D, and Magnus (Woof!)

Congratulations on your Ollie acquisition, and welcome to the Oliver family. That's one sharp looking mascot you have guarding the camper there. Look forward to getting to know both here and in person some day. We pick up our Ollie in about 7 weeks.

Hi, and welcome.

Is 225 an Elite I or II?

[MAX Burner]

#225 is an EII, 2017.  We're pumped!  So - SeaDawg, USN Sailor?

Welcome from Maine and hull #211 {Ell} (also 2017). 

Think I have heard of a y'all, but not sure what it is? Someone else said they didn't think they had them in NM?

U.S. Navy background?

[Steph and Dud B]

Welcome to the family. Will be interested in hearing your perceptions of your Oliver vs. your Casita.

THAT Oliver is going to look great in THAT Ollie house - especially with THAT pup keeping an eye on it.

Welcome to the Family!

Ni, not me. I'm just a sailor/seadawg.. my husband is the veteran.

Guessing you are USN.  Thank you for your service.

Welcome to the family and congratulations. Wishing you safe travels from Hull 901 in MD.

Congratulations on your “new” Oliver!  Look forward to meeting you out on the road - Mike

Congrats and welcome to the Oliver family!🎉

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:

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.

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.
