Wow you guys are good I’m full in three days and that’s with no toilet paper. I guess I am full of 💩

John Take a look at ALU Cab / ALU Cabin for the full size 6.5 bed if you could give your thoughts. much appreciated.

Just kidding. I could only wish to see this view out the back window of the Oliver over morning coffee. Seeing it in person was just as amazing Grand Canyon

The old 2x10 x16” long pressure treated each end cut on a 45dg angle. I never had to go any higher than the 1 1/2 thickness of each block. Although these days you may be able to buy the Anderson levelers for half the price of wood. 😳

These are all great options for carrying atv and utv’s although the weight factor and having to put a very long extension on the back hitch for towing a trailer, it may work at first. I’m sure you’ll find your hitch will have worn out in a very short time. Making a bad situation when on the road. If this is what you want, I would consider looking at a ATC ( aluminum trailer Company) toy hauler all aluminum custom made size’s and good build quality like the Oliver,

Nice job I’m also not to fond of the strap’s only because when you forget to leave them out when putting the cover down, out comes the screwdriver or butter knife. Almost like forgetting to pull the valve handle in the bath. 🤬

Overland I once had a portable fire pit table for the deck. I replaced the lava rocks with glass pieces for fire pits. It gives off a different fire patten cool look, it took a lot more to fill the pit not sure it would be good bouncing round while traveling.

I’d like to add to SeaDawg post. Oliver try’s there very best to put quality components in there trailer. It’s not always to the consumer’s liking. You have to remember Oliver is a manufacturing business like any other company. Profit margins are involved . A simple 90 dg elbow costs you and I a couple of dollar’s times that by thousands do the math. And that’s just one item. I’m sure Oliver takes into consideration these suggestions and some times implements them. But then don’t complain when the trailer becomes more expensive. This is the nice thing about the Oliver modification, If you don’t like something on your unit change it to suit your needs as of all the example’s above. I enjoy seeing some of the owners modifications. As to my own. But don’t always expect Oliver to follow suit.

Getting older carrying wood among many other things some times isn’t worth it. Some State Parks you travel to allows your own wood, some don’t allow wood brought in from other states. While traveling out west I forgot which state we were in. We came upon an inspection station and there only concern was were we carrying wood? Luckily we had none at the time. With that said the portable fire pit is a good option. It doesn’t replace the wood fire of course. But I’m happy with the portable fire pit I was able to get one from Oliver very nice unit more expensive than online. This fire pit was no cost to me fortunately thanks to the referral program Oliver has. I used some of the credit I had available.

I thought about posting this question some time ago. What was the best year trailer that Oliver produced? This is a good post for this discussion. If you look back at options that where available. Upgraded options that Oliver made standard. Suspension etc. and all the items all of the above members mentioned. Interior extra 110 outlets etc. not to mention the last year before special requests on upgrades before Oliver went to package items. My guess would be the 2019 model year in my opinion. There have been a lot of changes that I followed all for the good to make Oliver one of the best mfgs out there and they will only get even better over time.

I just watch a YouTube where this toilet was installed in a black series Hq 19 then looked up the price very expensive. The Lavco sounds interesting wraps and seals in a bag 15 times then throw the main bag away. Battery or 12volt direct hookup. There is also a video comparing it to the natures head toilet.

I have a trailer Valet 10k new I would let it go for $200.00 u pick up. Fla. The only thing it has a 2 5/16 ball you’ll need to buy a 2in ball. Pm if interested

I had to change the flange several months ago same issue. Service sent me a new one. It’s a bear to get out it is pressed in, pull up wiggle with both hands. It will start to move up and down start to slam it up and down with both hands it will pop out. It’s hard but will come out. FYI this is how service also recommended how to take it out. Get mad at it it comes out easier 🤬😳

In the never ending search to buy stuff for the Ollie and TV. I was watching videos of the Overland expo on tools and gadgets. I thought the pictured tool bag was a good idea. Although the one in the video was selling in the neighborhood of $150.00 I found this one on amazon for $49.00 there are many mfgs and pricing for this type tool bag. I’m impressed with the quality and the ability to separate your tools in different pouches. It holds all the tools I normally carry. Then roll it up and store it away. I thought this was a good item to share.

Here’s the cure Fla. the governor welcomes everyone. 😎

Ollieboba you should be ok with both carriers. For some reason at&t works best in the east, south east states and Verizon works best in the western states. There are many remote areas were nothing works. That’s why a good ole atlas map comes in handy when there is no cell service to help find your way. At least you’ll find a small town. And hopefully cell service will return.

JD Good questions. I cant give you the answers except that we were in some of the higher elevations Breckinridge Colorado no WiFi loss we did have cell service problems with at&t some said Verizon is better out west. We did need cell service one time. We used the Onstar operator to make a call. And Onstar also found us the nearest camp site and made all the arrangements. At the time Onstar complete pkg was $65,00 a month with WiFi if I ever make another 6mo voyage I will use the Onstar system again. Short trips just the WiFi works well.

I’m still on the fence on all this as I am with solar. Is this system going to wind up like satellite dish Tv? No one talks about this any more because of its poor performance due to weather and solar flares. I’m sure this is the thing of the future. Like a new model year vehicle everyone has to be the first to own one. I always wait a model year or two to get all the bugs worked out. As far as mobile WiFi for traveling my GM vehicle has OnStar for $20.00 a month unlimited data for WiFi while traveling across the country we never had a connection problem. I haven’t grasped yet all this new technology I still like my old school ways. Anyone seen my news paper? Couldn’t even find a news paper emoji to end with. 🙄

Keep up the faith your in our thoughts. 👍🏼

Every year for hurricane season we stock the trailer with can goods and non perishable items. Dollar General is where we stock up from. I found for some reason the can and non perishable items have the longest shelf date than you can find at the big box stores and cheaper prices.

Yes. Only two small screws on the back . The Velcro covered and sealed the screw holes, i wanted to put the screws back in but they would not screw in flush with the back of the camera, I had heavy rain on one trip no problems no fogging camera lens.

I installed this security camera several months ago and posted it on the forum. The camera is working very well there are no wires at all the camera recharges by built in solar or USB port. Clear picture and great night time visual. I posted it under entry door security camera. This system is used as a back up camera I’m not sure if the monitor will pick it up from the TV we use the monitor in side the Ollie I purchased the system at Walmart for around $100.00

The Last time I was out West I forgot what state. We came to a check point and they were more concerned if i was carrying fire wood not weapons😎
