Landrover

Spike I really can’t answer that question I don’t know. Maybe a call to Oliver can help. I’m sure if its left on for months/years maybe time will tell. The Velcro I have is clear not that noticeable. A full strip of this Velcro is over kill. i plan on removing the strip off the Ollie and just attaching two small squares which should be more than enough to hold. It’s only been a few months I don’t expect any damage to the gel coat .

I have my monitor mounted away from the door. Part of long ago training you don’t want to be standing in a doorway if the bad guys are on the other side of the door. You want to be away from the doorway, there are more advantages this way. No I’m not paranoid safety first 🤪🥸

Wow great price. Send the link from eBay I’ll buy another one.

I also saw a Oliver pass by us yesterday Florida I75 they were heading South bound around 12:30 pm near Ocala we were north bound heading towards Gainesville to Bass pro shop. Lol a little excitement. Look look there goes an Ollie.😛

Great post. We use the cheep black and decker 5 cup coffee maker. Easy to store, found it’s not to practical for camping no heating element to keep coffee warm. I like the ideas shown keep them coming. I’m looking to change coffee makers.👍🏼

Reading all you have to say your already on your way. Your plan is straightforward. You’ll have some hiccups along the way we al do it never ends but it’s all good. Good luck you got this.

Back in 2019 when I picked up my unit several Other units had the same problem with the audio system. In all the cases the cables were installed backwards. No audio. Just a thought.

I still like the old Boy Scout meals we made at camp outs. Can green beans, carrots, sliced potatoes. Butter gound beef made into a patty. Wrap it up in heavy duty aluminum foil. Throw it into the hot coal’s wait 20mins eat right out of the foil wrap. 👍🏼

And they look bad ass too. 😬

Glad to see all is well. Enjoy the Florida weather if it warms up. 52dgs today in Ocala that’s sub zero weather for us locals. Enjoy the keys. safe travels

I think I mention this in other posts on the subject. If on electric before showing we switch on the propane two showers alway had enough hot water and my wife likes her shower warm. As far as cost as mentioned easier to repair. And I’m sure you can replace the entire unit several times VS the cost of the Truma. Some times simpler is better.

Very nice as always. Now we know how to make a $100,000.00 Oliver easy. 😜

The camera system has been working great the industrial Velcro maybe over kill I have to use a plastic wedge to get the Velcro to separate a little then it separates easy. Last trip was to Jacksonville for Foy’s get together. No problems staying put on the road. The trailer is parked inside. Almost 3 months battery down to half charge. Simple usb charge to full within an hour. Still not sure if the solar on it charges the battery being inside most of the time. I’d replace it with another if it fails. When or if they stop making them. Every thing goes back to normal no holes to fix. 👍🏼👍🏼

If your making a list. RidgeWay, South Carolina. Don’t blink you be through the town. Speed 25mph zone they will stop you at 26mph I was told its the only revenue for the town.

This is not unusual for small towns to supplement income with police activity. The key to traveling through those towns pay more attention to the speed signs speeds will change quickly 65 45 35 in a very short distance usually when getting close to the population. You’ll be going 65 next thing you know the speed sign is 35 busted. Fines are expensive. Less crime stats more speed traps sounds like they want to keep their community safe. 🚔

The claim is this unit will collect for a portable unit 8 gals per day in desert condition. Can it be believed? Not too many statements are true these days. I thought it was interesting seeing that a lot of Oliver owners have concerns about condensation inside the Oliver and most use a dehumidifier or Rid bags to collect water/ condensation. what’s done with the water? Most empty or discard the bags or the the dehumidifier which uses the same amount of electricity is either directed outside or into the sink to the grey water tank. Sorry I still can't post articles from other web sites to this forum.

I saw a small segment on YouTube tech inventions on a portable unit that makes water from the air the price wasn’t portable $3,500. I haven’t been able to find out more about this unit. Seems like a logical concept. Take a dehumidifier and pump the water through a filter system to get clean drinkable water. Any one else heard of this? Sounds like it could be an interesting concept for boondocking.💨💧☃️

As I look at a lot of campground reservations its still the norm but worse the week end warriors who block off spots just about every weekend for months just to save a site. (Friday to Sunday) Sunday - Thursday, Sunday being the most open time in the afternoon to get a good camping spot. We try to avoid state parks on weekends unless we’re there for extended stays. No name private campgrounds work well on weekends while traveling long distances. Some are good some not so good. The adventures of camping.😬

I have never had to jackknife any trailer to that extreme. Could someone please explain how the trailer moves back when the Tv is at a 90dg angle to the trailer. It doesn’t work that way. The only thing that will be accomplished is to bend things as some have found. Being on that much of an angle you need to stop pull forward and reposition the trailer. If someone can back a trailer into a spot with the Tv at a 90dg angle please video it id like to see it.😳😰

Kmoon545 It doesn’t matter the type of coupler hitch you have. I brought mine for my previous Airstream. Same results. I see that they have a modified Valet with a 24volt angle drill attached. I plan on doing some modifications to mine using chain drive with a small winch and battery. Trailer Valet won’t sell the conversion parts to use with the angle drill. 🤬

There is a good benefit to your parking situation. If you can park /back your Ollie in that spot you’ll be and expert in parking and backing in no time flat. 😉 Safe travels.

I’ll add my two Quarters. Inflation these days😜 As most mention Lance Good quality a little more on a budget the name will give good return on investment. 2nd choice Tab 400 by New Camp a little smaller but also good Quality build. Always personal preference gets the best Trailer. Good luck

I’m glad they are doing more dealer option sales. More things to spend my referral credit on.

A few reasons not to buy one. Small tires go flat easy, low to the ground you’ll be bending over a lot. Handle moves easy which constantly applies brake. The brake doesn’t work well on the slightest incline. The ball always loosen up no matter how tight you get it on the coupler. And unless you work out all the time. You’ll get the work out of your life. Cranking the handle. The optional drill adapter moves the trailer easier but now your fighting another obstacle. Holding the drill bending over and trying to keep the handle from locking the brake. Mine sits in the corner of the garage. I’d say I’ll make you a great deal on it. But I would feel bad selling it to anyone. Hope this helps.

Thanks John valued opinion I’m in the looking stages. Like you I’m always looking at the good bad and ugly and don’t like to buy unless I get up close and personal I have to touch it. It’s amazing how many big items are being purchased by a internet picture or video. Thanks
