Great work on the forums, Matt. We will be there early next week. Hope to meet all the new folks in the office. Mike

Our pick up is next Tuesday. We leave on Sunday and will arrive in Hohenwald early Monday afternoon. Staying at Fall Hallow Monday night. Thought we'd go by Monday afternoon to see our trailer and all the Oliver folks. I'm thinking we might video some of the orientation, did anyone do that and was it beneficial? Our trip to the factory is a day and a half, our trip home will be 10 days: Hohenwald - Land Between the Lakes - Table Rock Lake State Park/Branson - Crater of Diamonds State Park AR - Mother Neff State Park TX - home. Should be a good break-in trip! Any pick-up tips or advice? Mike

If you have a few minutes, while at Fall Hollow, take a ride up the parkway about a half mile to the pull off, and follow the trail back to the waterfall. It's pretty neat and you can walk behind the the falls and look out through the falling water. Stan

Hey, that was quick! Thanks!

Thanks, Matt, that's very helpful.

Also looking forward to your Ollie adventure. Looking forward to hearing about the trip!!!!!!!!!

Hmm… I really like the Ram Truck too, our son in law owns one, very nice rig! But, gas trucks on long uphill hauls being hated. Lets take a look at this video and see if it that holds up to scrutiny, albeit the sideline whoop di la is a bit over the top. http://www.ford.com/trucks/f150/gallery/videos-and-demos/all/uphill-towing-battle/FMFS8536000/ FWIW, I've never, not once suffered the upload slug with our gas truck (3.5 Eco Boost), in fact we tend to pass quite a few other rigs on the long grades in high altitude. Just finished a two week trip in the SW for the second time with mesa grades from 5-10%, nary a problem. Its a zippity do da affair over the hill. Regardless Jaquelyn for sure should hang onto her existing rig, it will be more than adequate for the task. Hope this helps.

My cameraless, solo parking method requires no camera at all to position The Wonder Egg on a new site. 1- Walk the site first to note obstacles (to include overhead branches) and location of any hookups. 2- Use side mirrors to line up trailer and back about 3/4 of the way into the site. 3- Get out and physically step off distance from the back of the trailer to where I want it to finally end up. 4- Step off that same distance from my driver's seat, towards the rear and set down a marker (rock, twig, leaf, etc) 5- Back up trailer until my shoulder is abeam my marker. Camera, Schmamera! I find this simple method works best for me.
