Enjoy your videos, Steve. Nice presentation and editing. Ever experience any trouble towing with a half ton pickup? I have one myself and wondered if I need to upgrade for better performance, both pulling and braking. Thanks for your videos and say hello to Oreo. 😀
Thanks for the comment, Greg! My F-150 has no issues pulling or stopping the Oliver- I've been into the mountains of Tennessee, but haven't taken the Oliver out west to the BIG mountains yet. Thanks for watching! Oreo says woof 🐶
Another Oliver camper here. Thanks for the heads-up on the small sites. Can you include a look see of the shower and bathrooms for you future videos? It helps us a lot when we can see your previews of what to plan for. Thanks and safe travels. We love our Ollie.
Sure, that's something I should remember to do... The bath house nearest to my site was large- several private shower rooms, large men's and women's rooms and a laundry. Thanks for the suggestion and thanks for watching!
Hi Steve! Deb and I will be visiting both of these locations in Curiosity later this month. But first we’re going to the Eggs n S’more rally at Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park. Then January 20-26 at Blackwater and January 26-31 at Fort Pickens, site A10. After that. 10 days at Salt Springs in Ocala National Forest followed by a 5-day cruise out of Jacksonville. We are eager to visit the panhandle for the first time, and look forward to a break from northern Ohio’ cold. Thanks for the preview!
Hi Steve! That sounds like a fun itinerary! Hopefully you'll have better luck with the weather than I did. Of course, I scheduled mine at the last minute. Blackwater was full, so the boondocking site was great. Hopefully you'll have an escape from the snow and cold!
Fort Pickens is on my list to visit, thanks for this video. Its even more beautiful than I thought. From research i knew a lot of those sites are short and I'd probably have to do like you and park in the overflow if i didnt fit. I'd much rather go down there when its nice and cool like that.
Hi Steve and Oreo. I also enjoy getting off grid and enjoying solitude of the trails. I believe you have the 640AH Lithium System. When you get a chance, would you do a video on how long you can boondock in the Oliver without campground power (including running the AC)? My wife and I are planning on getting an Oliver with the 640AH system and composting toilet to be off grid as long as possible when required. I believe you’re the only Oliver owner with a UA-cam channel. Thank you for sharing your Oliver adventures.
Thanks for your comment! There are so many variables with power when boondocking, but I'll keep that in mind, to have a boondocking-details kind of video. In general, if I'm not using the AC, I tend to run refrigerator, lights, water pump and a little bit of inverter power to run coffee maker and microwave. That will use about 10-15% of the (640 aH) battery capacity per day. As far as the AC goes, if it is really hot outside and the AC has to run continuously, it would deplete the batteries in about 5-6 hours. Not something you can run for long. If you have a generator, you can top up the batteries maybe during the day and then unplug at night and run the AC just to make sleeping more comfortable. Appreciate you commenting and watching!
Hi Steve. Just wondering, since we are potential Oliver LEII owners, have you experienced any issues, other than your microwave, that were concerning or potential problems with your trailer. Keep up the good work with your UA-cam channel.
Hi Greg- I have not (knock on wood) had any other significant issues with the Oliver. I did have the vent on top that was cracked, which Oliver replaced for the cost of the part, but other than that, I can't think of anything I've had an issue with. Appreciate your comment, and hope you decide on the right camper for you!

We love Peanut butter and Banana in Canada too 🇨🇦 - I love the gentleness of your videos
OK, good to know about PB&B! I knew I was a Canadaphile for a reason! Thanks for your kind words and thanks for watching!
Steve, Very entertaining and good video.🍌🥜
Thanks so much, I appreciate it! 🍌🥜👍
I grew up on PB & Banana ! Excellent Vlog Steve !
Gotta love PB&B- a flavor from my childhood! Thanks so much for watching!

I have always enjoyed the beach in the winter! Fewer crowds and the heat is not stifling. Thanks for watching, Lisa!
nice place. If I had your setup I'd surely check it out. Nice presentation Steve. I am a fan of yours.
Thanks for being a fan! Yeah, I really like areas like that- just wish I could have spent more time and had brought my kayak... Thanks for watching!

I like my peanut butter and bananas on a toasted English muffin.
Oooh, that sounds pretty good, I'll have to try that! Thanks for watching, Debbie!
@ If you have honey, it’s even better with a little drizzle. We are also Oliver owners, Hull 1397, maybe we’ll see you at the rally in May.
