  1. Is it my imagination or is there a new main page for the OTT website? I have mixed feelings about hauling around a "luxury travel trailer". Of course it costs enough to be in the luxury category, but the trailer itself is so understated. Not flashy. Not glamorous. Unless you know what you're looking for, you might not see what makes it a luxury trailer. I'm going to be self-conscious now. Lol.
  2. I've got a cheapie hitch lock, and a heavy chain I'll loop through one of the rims, connected to something else. This thread will motivate me to up my game. My bias is toward a tracker. I'll check out the options to see what works best. I'm of the mind that if a criminal wants my trailer bad enough, they'll take it. The tracker would allow me and law enforcement to take action.
  3. There are pros and cons with the Oliver. It's a company that only makes one type of product (Elite 2 is just a stretched Elite 1). Yes there are cool options, but it's basically one product. If it fits your style, you're in luck. If not, there are many other RVs, and many companies that offer multiple products. Many of us have made minor or major modifications, but ultimately your camping style has to match the trailer. For most of us, it's a match made in heaven.

  5. The Oliver checked all the boxes. Before buying, while shopping, I asked my self the following about various trailers: 1. How's this thing gonna do off road? How's the clearance, suspension, tires, etc? 2. How's this thing gonna tow? Aerodynamic? Good tracking? Too big or too small? 3. How's this thing gonna do with upkeep? Will screws pop out? Will things fall off? Will parts of the trailer de-laminate? 4. What's the deal with the manufacturer? Will they stand by their product? Will they answer my phone calls? How's their quality control? 5. How well can I boondock? How are the water tanks, propane system, solar generation, etc? 6. Is it pretty? After renting a Jayco and an Airstream, and kicking the tires on a lot of other trailers, the only thing I could find that had the right answers to the questions above was Oliver.
  6. I don't have a Truma, but this issue is VERY concerning b/c it could result not only in property damage but death!
  7. thanks for this reminder. i just went to the website and got the permit. very easy. free. i think it's just a way to remind people of campfire basics. i've seen posters with this info at many campgrounds, but i don't think anyone is really reading those. and i have come into some campsites only to discover a still hot campfire. yikes!
  8. The more I look, the more places I find to put it
  9. a pipe? somehow he doesn't look like a pipe smoker.
  10. My original plan was to wait until I retired to buy my Ollie. But, in a rare instance of good judgement, I bought two years ago and only just retired this past summer. I'm very glad I did. First, the prices have really gone up. Second, I've had two years to tinker and learn about my Ollie before taking it out on longer, more frequent trips which I'm doing now. And third, I used it as a weekend getaway where I have it stored at a friend's place and enjoyed it without even going anywhere.
  11. I think in the situation you describe I would be more likely to just turn off the batteries and use an extension cord from your outside outlet to power the dehumidifier.
  12. ugh. so glad i have the composting toilet.
  13. Aluminum tape is amazing. I used lots of it on the furnace and ducts when after delivery I discovered some problems. Sticks great. Haven't tested any noise- dampening qualities yet, but I have to imagine it will help, especially after I'm able to crawl into the basement area (claustrophobia?) and put reflectix on the ceiling and other walls of the basement.
  14. My adventures in reflectix have begun. The first photo shows one single layer cut to fit the basement door. No glue or tape, just cut to fit and pressed in. We'll see if it stays in place when on the road, otherwise I'll use some double sided tape. The second photo shows the two hatch lids under the street side bed. The fourth shows how I used some foam strips to keep about 3/4 of an inch space between the two layers for increased R value. Per advice above, I used the spray adhesive only to stick the foam pieces on the reflectix, then used aluminum tape around the edges. Next week I'll continue working on the basement area.
  15. I've got my big roll of Reflectix and a can of spray adhesive all ready to go, wanting to get my Ollie better prepared for some cold winter camping, where should I put it?
