We have noted that some campers do not want to cook inside their Oliver, and, some do not want to cook outside. We do both. Our Southern mountain culture, kind of dictates how we set up our cook shack, when it is warmer weather.

It is that special time of day on most camping trips, not long after happy hour, when the evening breeze carries the magical aroma of campfire smoke.

Everyone is raving about those beautiful fish fillets that you are turning out while camped out on the lake. Your special spices in the cornmeal, just really gets everyone’s attention. However, your cooking oil really shows it too. When you first started dropping fillets in the cooking oil it was so clear and pretty.

Our campground assignment for the summer was up high, at 10800 ft, and we were arriving early, so the likelihood of the road being still blocked by snow drifts was high. Because we would be passing near by, to get to our staging area, we thought that we would swing by and take a look […]

When storing our Oliver’s for the Winter months, one concern is for the well being of our tires. You may have noticed that after sitting for an extended time that your trailer’s tires “bump” when you first start moving. That bump seems to fade away as the tires warm up, yet we seem to think that may not be good for the tires.

Normally they are out of sight and out of mind. That is, until you need to know their level status and push a button on the tank monitor panel. The three tanks, fresh water, grey water and black water are all located in the Oliver’s floor out of sight.

I remember it just like it was yesterday, Betty and I got back home with our new Oliver, hull #3, it was cold weather and we were still in the work a day world so we needed to drain the fresh water tank. Though we had received a good explanation of the various systems, when we looked under the curb side cushion, it was like, “holey cow, how will we ever find that valve in all of that hardware!”
