Looks beautiful, David! Love the "ocean" color scheme of the graphics, too.
Safe and happy travels.

[Ron Merritt]

Looks great David. Love the blue over gray. R

Excellent! Looking forward to more pics.

We are working on the interior and as soon as Carol gets on with the upholstery I will post some photos. You may visit my blog anytime for updates at www.emeraldcoastcamper.com

Looks like I'm in production, got the call today.

So it shouldn't be long. Initially said February, so I have hopes we'll still do that or better.

[trumpetguy]

Ron. That's exciting news. We have not been camping since our initial trip back from Oliver and are champing to get on the road. We may fit a long weekend in after Christmas over at Fort Pickens. I find a reason to go out a visit the Ollie just about every day. Still blown away by the quality. Even my son who is not easily impressed by anything I do said it feels like a luxury boat. I have been working on installing the solar system, and am just about finished. Too much cloud cover these days to produce any power.

Keep posting updates and photos if you can get any from Robert.

Glad we got our Elite II done as it looks like they are going to focus on the Elites for a while.

Well, I'm in production. Here are the photos I recieved today. Very excited it's getting going.

Looking good Ron! Just think, that's happening 30 min from me!

It's a fun time and proud for ya! VERY VERY nice camper(s)! Nice touch sending you pics as well on progress.

[trumpetguy]

Great adventure coming up. The pics do a good job of keeping us pumped up. The more I get to know my #64 the more impressed I am with all the things you don't see. I am going through a partial winterizing ahead of some weather in the teens and in doing so have had a chance to get into the basement where all the plumbing, tanks, etc. is located. The craftsmanship is all first rate with easy access to those valves and lines you need to get to. And everything is inside the insulated area. Prolly don't need to winterize, but it is a good learning exercise for me.

A word about Oliver service. Top notch. I made the mistake of not ordering the solar package during production. Oliver is going to do a retro fit for me so I will have a full 320 WATTS of solar to charge my 4 Trojan T105s. Service after the sale. I Like it.

David, your's is VERY nice as well. Just went out to the emeraldcoast site and you have some REALLY nice pics of your "Ollie". I know you guys are enjoying that rig! You can tell from the pics that they are very well built. I've met Robert Partee at Piney during our Scamp camps and he's very knowledgeable and friendly guy to hang out with.

You guys make me envious of the Oliver Trailer!

[Rob Outlaw]

I've never seen the black lining like yours shown above, must be the Thinsulite insulation for the arctic package? In any case congratulations.

David, likewise I ordered the whole enchilada solar package from the start. I don't want to ever have to worry about power again while out in the boonies. Yes its a chunk of change, but peanuts in the long run scheme of things.

[trumpetguy]

Darral,

Thanks for the kind words. I will post more photos on my blog as soon as my wife finishes the custom upholstery. One mattress cum sofa to go and we are done with the heavy stuff.

[trumpetguy]

Ron,

Is that a new material being used... or some special sealer? My #64 does not have that.

[Rob Outlaw]

Looks like its getting close. Cool deal.

[Ron Merritt]

Shell complete, major appliances in, countertops in, windows in. Happy surprise the high neck faucet.







Looks like we're only a few weeks out.

I noticed that the upper cabinet doors in your Oliver swing open downwards. Is this the standard for all Oliver's or is that something you had specified. I think I would personally prefer having them open upwards with a piston to hold them open.

[Ron Merritt]

That is their standard. Not sure why they do it this way, other than it may be easier for shorter folks. I really don't have a preference, opening down is fine with me. Bonus I guess is no struts to replace down the road.
