Bill Money is pretty important when you aren't rich. I'm sure we will run into one another sometime. Olivers seem to have a natural attraction for one another, so unknowingly to us, we will eventually find ourselves in the same campground. We are surprised to see another Oliver but our trailer knew all along. 1 2014 Ram 2500 Cummins Diesel 4X4 Truck 2024 Oliver Legacy Elite II Hull 1460 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, just check a map. It was its own country for a while and if things keep going... It may have to step up again! Heck, I'll move back. Again, we would love to meet y'all for an OTT Meet but after over 45 years east, family stuff and who's... Will y'all travel west for a meet? Or just head west and visit our amazing High Country of Arizona for a few days. 😊 1 Chris & John in Prescott, AZ | 2016 EII #113 | '01 Ram 2500 Cummins!

The 15 alloted early booking sites went in 24 hours and the remainder of people will have to book at the Texas 5 month booking window starting on May 21, 2024. All of the information is on Facebook Oliver Rolling Rally. 25 owners are expected. There are many who don't use Facebook, but on Oliver Trailer Owners and Oliver Rolling Rally there are many small rally's and get togethers organised on both sites. 2 John & Susan Dorrer, 2013 F250, 6.2 gasser, 4x4, 2022 Legacy Elite 2, twin beds, Hull #1045, Jolli Olli - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We missed this post on FaceBook since we don’t do much there. I’m glad someone organized a Texas rally, just wish it would have been shared here as well. Maybe a FaceBook user could cut and paste the information here for non-FB folks? Inks Lake is popular and difficult to get into depending on the time of year.

I never had a FB account, Chris had one early and closed it when they became outwardly political. Sorry, we're not looking there. Love the lakes region of central Texas. We had a restaurant on RR 620 by Lake Travis and for years we attended juniors' tennis tournaments at the Horseshoe Bay Resort! Marble Falls is a great little town too. Mike understands many of us will not get campsites there. Are there other nearby park locations? 5 Chris & John in Prescott, AZ | 2016 EII #113 | '01 Ram 2500 Cummins!

There shouldn't be a problem on getting a site for 10/21-24. While there are many people on the Forum that don't do Facebook, the Oliver Trailer Owners and Oliver Rolling Rally Facebook sites have a big following. There have been numerous rallies and meet-ups set-up. I choose to use both Oliver Facebook and the Forum. The Oliver Facebook site has been around for years and Rolling Rally from around 2 years. The members on Facebook asked for a vehicle to set-up rally's and meet-ups. I can't speak for the Forum. Each group has the opportunity do what Oliver Owners have done on the Facebook site 2 John & Susan Dorrer, 2013 F250, 6.2 gasser, 4x4, 2022 Legacy Elite 2, twin beds, Hull #1045, Jolli Olli - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dorrer Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Here is the info on the Texas Rally for 10/21-24. Please note you will have to follow normal booking through Texas Parks 5 month booking window. The enclosed was for the early booking, so doesn't apply for those booking 5/21/24. 2 John & Susan Dorrer, 2013 F250, 6.2 gasser, 4x4, 2022 Legacy Elite 2, twin beds, Hull #1045, Jolli Olli - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike I don't see any division between Facebook and the Forum. I enjoy both. On Facebook people post a lot of photos and trip reports. There is also more of a bond between people because they know who they are replying to. It is hard when nick names are used. I struggle with that, but it is what it is. Everyone has choices. In any event the info should help for those on the Forum that would like to attend 3 John & Susan Dorrer, 2013 F250, 6.2 gasser, 4x4, 2022 Legacy Elite 2, twin beds, Hull #1045, Jolli Olli - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why you think it has to be posted here. To be honest I'm getting a little pissed the direction you have taken this. I extended an invite based on your comment of having a Texas get together.

jd1923 Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Sorry @John Dorrer, I for sure and others who have liked my post did not mean anything on you. In fact, thank you very much for informing members of the OTT Forum! It just sucks that there are Oliver gatherings not posted on Oliver Travel Trailers Owner Forums Maybe those of us here should meet/boondock in Marfa TX, Big Spring, San Angelo or somewhere where you can park 50+ Olivers without reservations, 5-6 months out. Would love to get back to the central lakes too. Thanks again. 2 Chris & John in Prescott, AZ | 2016 EII #113 | '01 Ram 2500 Cummins! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator+ ScubaRx Posted March 2 Moderator+ Share Posted March 2 I'll step in here and say that as far as I know, there has never been a member on this forum that has volunteered to take on the responsibility of listing all the fiberglass rallys that are ongoing all the time across the nation. There are sites and people that do it, with FB being the most popular platform. The Oliver Rolling Rally FB page requires that you be an Oliver owner to sign in. Since the folks at Oliver don't read or participate here, there is never much mention of even the Annual Oliver Rally. If someone here wants another project to consume their life start a thread and list the dates and places for Rallys. With the exception of the Oliver Rally, we rarely attend any of the others. 2 Steve, Tali and our dog Rocky plus our beloved Storm, Maggie, Lucy and Reacher (all waiting at the Rainbow Bridge) 2008 Legacy Elite I - Outlaw Oliver, Hull #026 | 2014 Legacy Elite II - Outlaw Oliver, Hull #050 | 2022 Silverado High Country 3500HD SRW Diesel 4x4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
