  1. I made this because the Owners Manual towing and camping lists are simply lame. This one is set up like an aircraft preflight checklist. Feel free to edit and change as needed, some items may not apply or you may just want to do it differently.

  2. I did it. Ordered my Oliver which is scheduled for production in early February. My dream had always been pulling an Airstream until reading about the Oliver alternative. Without ever physically seeing the trailer I made a deposit. A few weeks later I was able to see the factory tour and was not disappointed. Looking forward to the adventures she may bring. I live with my lovely wife on the beautiful island of Hilton Head. We share our house with an unfriendly cat whose name is Pearl. I have a goal to be an average golfer, far from reaching. Hoping to visit golf courses around the nation in my travels. First time travel trailer owner and finding excellent guidance in this forum. I’m looking forward to our shared experiences and hope to meet some of you along the way.

  3. I have personally spoken with the Truma factory about winter camping and was told that as long as the water heater is on with propane running, it is protected from freezing down to -4F. I was also told that for winterizing (having the propane off in freezing temps) if the tank is drained and you remove the water cartridge that it is protected from damage. This method can also be used if you are planning on towing through freezing temps since your propane should be off while towing. -Angela

  4. We’ve found having the hot water tank on and the furnace going was enough to keep things ok while temps are in the 20s. I remember the week we were at Fort Huachuca last January when you saw our trailer, the temperatures were in the 20s for a several nights and we were fine. Mike

  5. We bought the Truma for its Winter Mode and haven't had a problem down to 12°f so far over night.

  6. We went with the Penquin II A/C because of there being a built in drain line. The Atwood runs down the outside of the trailer and leaves streaks. We also went with the storage box rather than the microwave and made a great looking bar. We had no wood finishes in ours so we had them mail us the door and we had a cabinet shop paint it white like the fiberglass. We have removed the hanging bar in the closet as we feel that is a real waste of space. Who needs to “hang” camping clothes. We bought a shelf unit to hold a mini ice maker, toaster oven, drinking water and other beverages. Also took a back of the door shoe bag and trimmed it up to fit the closet door for small items. We picked up 12/19, love it! Have fun...
