  1. Oscar and I joined a group of Casita friends across Route66 in 2010. At that time, I was maintaining a travel blog, and wrote about this slow roll, 6 week rolling rally. What an experience. You may see the blog entries for each leg below . . .

  2. 100% Satisfied customer!! This thing is a BEAST.
  3. Welcome to the family! Let the wandering begin . . .
  4. Welcome to the family, Joey! Get ready for many wonderful adventures ahead.
  5. How sad, seeing your Ollie 'laying down'. It's like a family member being wounded. Glad no human or pet was injured. Thanks for posting this for all to learn from.
  6. finally leaving Texas
  7. The Wonder Egg was born with a 'spring over axle' configuration and sits higher than the average Ollie. I always travel with full tanks, for convenience and most importantly, to lower the center of gravity and provide extra stability in high wind conditions and cornering.
  8. Nicely thought out project and installation. Well done. Enjoy your air fryer creations!
  9. Nice. Placing the vents at the upper portion of the space makes sense, after all, hot air rises. Did you consider a switch activated 12 volt miniature fan to increase cooling when using the air fryer?
  10. Come one, one of those prize racks would surely garner a lot of attention going down the highway on the brow of your Ollie. You can do IT!
  11. I alwaze thouhgt a diatribe wuz a bunch of folk gittin together as a big group, figurin new recipees for wate loss.
  12. Here are pictures of the two air vents in my 2008 Elite. You can see one is located on the wall as you exit the trailer, and the other is in the galley area, on the wall to the left of the sink. They provide passive venting from the rear of the space containing the oven. Not sure of a source for the vents, but you get the idea and should be able to find something similar. If you are particularly handy and inspired, consider a tiny switch activated fan mounted behind one of the vents which could turn it from a passive to an active heat protection. Good luck! Be sure to post pictures of your finished project.
  13. is up yonder
  14. Ron, Thanks for the post. It is a good reminder for all of us (especially single axle Elite owners) to use a TPMS system to monitor the pressure of our tires. Question: Did you have a metal valve stem? The centrifugal forces exerted on the valve stems by the mass of the monitor can result in over stressing a rubber valve stem, so metal stems are preferred with TPMS. So glad your system alerted you to the loss of pressure in time for you to safely get off the road. Pete
  15. Welcome Kathlyn! I head out every year with my Elite I and have stayed out traveling for stretches up to 7 months at a time. The 10lb dog and I enjoy the small spaces and, when befriending someone in a Class A motorhome, I'll sometimes tell them that "I have everything in my trailer you do, except the wasted space". (Hahahaaaa) I've also met more than a few full-timers in their sixties and seventies living in small trailers similar to ours. It is certainly doable, but, you may need to figure out how to dispose of a house and all of the accumulated "stuff" that has gathered over time. A life without lotsa "stuff" can be very freeing, mentally. Also, with some Google searches, you can find ways travelers handle their mail and establish a state residence for tax purposes. It is totally doable. Enjoy the journey . . .
