  1. And I took the King antenna to the OTTO rally and couldn’t find any willing taker’s, dang it! So I brought it back home and recycled it. Mossey
  2. I have had some success with threaded insert nuts in the OTT installed PVC Foam Board. They are very effective on the horizontally mounted foam board, such as the water pump location. Mossey
  3. All though my refrigerator did not come unplugged, I proactively replaced my refrigerator plug after someone else reported that their refrigerator came unplugged. This is the type of plug I used and it has worked for 6 or 7 years. I don’t remember, but I may have also used a tie wrap. John Davies replaced his outlet for different reasons and this will take you to his mod. https://olivertraveltrailers.com/forums/topic/6722-how-to-replace-the-120-vac-refrigerator-outlet-under-the-galley-sink-water-lines-with-a-waterproof-junction-box/?srsltid=AfmBOop_r6SWUqYp2fvGVz5cXJio0oNzeQnuFWMKZobs6ISEKIy-36a7 Mossey
  4. We really like that campground! Mossey
  5. @Boudicca908 Check out this YouTube video by "The Trailer Smith". It's 1 of about 5 that he has put up. Then check out his other trailer video's, for instance, search for "brakes". All of his videos that I have seen have been very informative. Mossey
  6. The first picture is a different view from topgun2's. The second picture is of the aluminum support tubes I installed for my Nova Kool refrigerator. The aluminum tubes span the trough noted in the first picture. And if you really have a need to know in order to proceed with your installation, you can follow @jd1923's suggestion above. Or you can remove the drawers below the sink and cut a hole in the cabinet floor and have a look around, like I did. Mossey
  7. Your welcome! Mossey
  8. Welcome to the forum! Mossey First picture Right click your 'M' and it will open your profile page. Second picture Click on the Red circled area marked 'Edit Profile'
  9. @Townesw The hatch looks very nice and you will love the easy access. Thank you for the step by step procedure. It will help someone else in the future! Mossey
  10. Excellent idea! Mossey
  11. @jd1923 I would start hunting for the streetside light power wire at the main switch panel. I also think that is the easiest spot to tap the power wire for the new light you want to install, running a new wire, front to back, in the trough of the upper cabinets might be the easiest part of the job. Mossey
  12. Wow! That's even better than a trip to the local hardware store, except you probably didn’t get popcorn like I do! Mossey
  13. It's pretty easy to stub your toe like this when buying on Amazon. It's not the same as a trip to local hardware store if you still have one! Mossey
  14. Your last camping trip once again proves the old adage 'camping is a participation sport'. I appreciate you sharing your solutions to the adversity you faced! Well done, Mossey
  15. @Grizz000 No worries! I thought you might be out camping! Thanks for the info. Mossey
  16. @Grizz000 Thank you for the excellent write up on your Xantrex inverter/charger, battery and solar mod. I do have a question about your method of attaching the Coosa board to fiberglass. I am specifically interested in how you applied the G/flex 655 to the Coosa board panel. Did you apply the G/flex to both surfaces and was it applied in a bead or puddle and did you spread or tool it? Mossey
  17. @routlaw This link will take you to a post from @Raspy, who was the US distributor for McHITCH! It is the articulating hitch that Overland installed on his LE2. Mossey
  18. @routlaw I had a total knee replacement in 2016, 46 years after ACL and cartilage tears in my right knee were repaired. That amounted to about 20 years of limited activity due to pain and discomfort. I stopped all racket sports and was content saving my knee for walking and used 2 poles while hiking. The 3 different knee doctors I saw in those years all wanted to wait until I was on my deathbed before replacing my knee. After having knee replacement surgery, it was about a year before I really didn’t think about it anymore. I really regretted not doing it sooner and I recommend it to anyone who has asked. I do believe that as we age, we should probably pick and choose some things we have always done. I gave up blowing pine needles and oak leaves off our house roof and gutter this year and pay someone to do that job, but my wife had to talk me into it. There are OTT maintenance jobs that you might have to give up and unless it is a financial decision, I would suggest giving up some maintenance jobs and keeping your Ollie, you can always sell it in the future if you find the maintenance issues to much to deal with. Mossey
  19. I’ve always wondered if Starlink pricing is tied to the Tesla stock price. Chris and Cherie, the Technomadia/Mobile Internet Resource Center folks moved from a Tab trailer to an Oliver LE in 2008 and sold it in 2011. Mossey
  20. A local shop that Dexter recommended handled the installation for $400. The axles were $883 each with 2200 pound springs and EZ Lube hubs and I supplied new lug nuts. Mossey
  21. When I replaced my factory D35 axles with D52's last year, the brake wiring was an option. Based on other OTTO experience’s repairing the brake wiring inside the axles, I chose pigtails for each hub and used hose clamps to attach PVC conduit to the axle and ran the wiring through the conduit. Was that the right thing to do? Time will tell! Mossey
  22. We spotted an Ollie in Tampa yesterday, heading north on I-275. Safe travels! Mossey
  23. Brinkley had a huge display at the RV Super Show in Tampa this year and they were all under cover in a pavilion all to themselves. They probably had about 30 or so trailers on display. There was a lot of activity and interest. They seem to be very active in their advertising and promotion. I don't know if they are under a big manufacturer's name or not, but I wish them luck. Mossey
  24. That is interesting, I wonder if there is an electric valve option that we cannot see in that view? That is the first PVC drain pipe I have seen Oliver use. Mossey
  25. @Galway Girl Your creativity is always a joy! Mossey
