Overland 0 Posted January 11, 2017 Congrats - it looks like yours, John D's, and ours are all starting within six weeks of each other. Please keep us posted along the way. How are you configuring yours? Are you making any modifications outside the norm? Snowball • LE2 256 • 2018 Ford Raptor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Guest Posted January 11, 2017 Hey Canoe12, That is excellent news! Now the real work begins as you prepare for your delivery day. Reach out if questions arise! No doubt you, Overland and John will be the ones teaching the owners taking delivery in the later half of 2017. Continuing the proud tradition of paying forward.

Mainiac 0 Posted January 11, 2017 Thank you Randy. It was your involvement and excitement, through showing your unit, that turned the tide for us. We then booked the tour, and the rest is history... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mainiac 0 Posted January 11, 2017 Thanks. We got most of the bells, and a few of the whistles. We got the standard layout as room for a grandchild or two would be available. We have designed and will install our own graphic on the front and back. No extra hatches or propane outlets as we plan to install our own. As we listen to the wise counsel of informed owners we have ordered the upgraded suspension and 30lb propane tanks. Just now we wait, and see where we want to go. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mainiac 0 Posted January 11, 2017 We still will and will recommend to all "The Buzzy Chronicles". A great place to start for anyone considering an Oliver or any o the "egg" type trailer... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Overland 0 Posted January 11, 2017 I'm eager to see your design for the graphics. I played around with a few things for ours, but it was clear that my wife is expecting her all-white trailer to remain so. Snowball • LE2 256 • 2018 Ford Raptor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike and Carol 1 Posted January 11, 2017 Glad to hear about start dates! Custom graphics are fun, but there is also a certain elegance to an all white Oliver with no graphics.

Mainiac 0 Posted January 11, 2017 Actually it was the compass rose with the Lone Star of Texas that inspired my decision to go with a custom graphic. We think it is very colorful and special, and sets your unit apart. We just picked it up today. It is the outline of the State with the State Seal in the middle. She also included a small one for the back. She doe fire trucks too and you know how fussy those guys are. I'll have to figure out again how to post pictures...

Mike and Carol 1 Posted January 12, 2017 That's going to look great! Very unique. I see you've got the same squeegee I used. Hardest part was getting it where we wanted it, straight and centered. Go slow and take the backing off as you go. Cant' wait to see it mounted.

Mainiac 0 Posted January 12, 2017 Mike.. designer said clean well with indentured alcohol. Then position graphic. Put a piece of masking tape a cross the top to act like a hinge. Lift it all the way up and slowly remove the backing as it is squeezed down and to the sides. Supposedly this new vinyl has micro channels to allow the air to go escape. Then the top covering is removed and wipe again. We thnk it has come out very well, and can't wait to see it on. Thanks for liking... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
