If it were me, I would see if Oliver would try order a screen from the supplier. Or I would find out who the supplier is and call them.
 

Maybe, but it will likely just find itself in storage and I have a rule:  If it doesn't get used within a year, it is gone.  My mom is a hoarder, so I can't stand keeping too much stuff.

I got some photos of the rear window. It is double paned. 

That appears to be an escape window with no ventilation function. We had 2 like @SeaDawg pictured on our fifth wheel. The large handle on those allowed you to prop the window open for ventilation. Worked nice in the rain. They also had pop out screens with red handles for egress. The new window Jason posted does not appear intended to be used in the open position, except to escape. I don't see the handle that would keep it open.

Just saw a DEALER walkthrough of a 2024 on YouTube. He did a nice job.

I noticed Oliver added reflective tape to the bike rack adapter, similar to the reflectors we added to ours. That's good because it sticks out behind the main bumper and blocks the main body reflectors.

Why would I EVER need to use that window? 

...a fire on the stove would be put out quickly.

If you're awake. And... the fire extinguisher is on the other end of the trailer, with the fire between it and you. Don't rule out an electrical fire starting under the dinette and spreading to the cushions, window shades, etc. Especially if you're asleep. And the smoke will reduce visibility to near zero. 40-year firefighter here. We've burned a few RVs in drills. Shocking how fast they go up and how quick the interior can become unsurvivable. That window could be more important than you think.

Yah saw that video, I thought he did an ok job, he missed a few important features of the Oliver, ie boondocking port, area under the street side bed where all the valves are (how nicely it’s all laid out), dual pane windows. Maybe he was just pressed for time!

That is the reason I did an extinguisher near the nightstand below the beds.

Thanks FlynGator for the pictures of the new door.

I too like the appearance of the new shower door.  Seems to be well fit. 

And if my eyes are not tricking my brain, it comes with the automatic FS Option.  See below.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wait for it....

 

 

 

 

 

 

What were they thinking?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The foot slicer option.

 

 

This post is not intended nor is it funny.

Can you give us a bit more detail on this?

Can this window be opened?  By "single pane" do you mean that it is a single pane of glass and not an insulated double pane of glass?  Or, do you mean that the "single pane" does not have a slider opening?  Or, something else?  Would you have a picture of it?

Bill

It is a non-slide, no screen, emergency window for egress only.

I have the optional door below the nightstand that goes into the basement.  That is currently where I keep my extra fire extinguisher, and another in my truck.  Three total.  I plan on attaching mine like yours for quick and easy access.

I am a very light sleeper and I have another fire extinguisher next to the bed.  However, I was in emergency services for over four years, so I'm not too macho to jump out that window screaming like a little girl if needed.

I believe mine is all rubber, but I would have to double check that.

How do you say 'Tralier'?  That's a bit cavalier of them, me thinks.

Thought I’d post a few pictures of the new bathroom door.

 

 

 

 

 

 

How is the mirror attached?  Is the latch the same on the outside as the inside (can't tell from the exterior photo).  Does it stick out where you would catch clothing, or such, on it when walking by?

[FLYnGATOR]

The mirror appears to be attached with an adhesive, no clips, as used for the mirror inside the head.

We’ve have had no issues with the handle catching on anything.

It does take a firm push to engage the latch. It works best if you press the door rather than the handle.

 

Best

Additionally, the handle is the same on the outside as the inside.

No problems with the “foot slicer” as mentioned…unless you are a member of the Monte Python “Ministry of Silly Walks”
