Our 23 day 2024 “Lake Hopping Tour” - It started on the coast of SC and then onto Lake Santee SP for a few days. We left Santee SP and booked a lake front site on Lake Hartwell in Gawwwga. After enjoying a few nights at Lake Hartwell we motored over to Lake Guntersville and really enjoyed a great time at the Rally. Time seemed to go by so quickly. It was so good to see old friends and make quite a few new friends.
We hope everyone got home or to their next destination CG safely.
Cheers from Blueberry Hill! 🫐My bride & amazing navigator. We enjoyed a nice campfire just about every night.

Or nothing at all. We don’t use any chemicals. No odors, we don’t put anything in the black tank other than poop and pee. You should never put tissue, wipes, feminine hygiene products or cigarette butts into the toilet system. When dumping, we flush the black tank 2-3 times until the water runs clear. Ten years in and never an issue.
Same here no issues.

Good Morning from Watsadler COE CG on Lake Hartwell. Site 17 will always be very memorable. A cool 52 breezy degrees here last night which made for a perfect nights sleep. Something special about the lake front camping.We are early risers and caught this new day beginning. We will depart this beautiful spot shortly and make our to Lake Guntersville SP on roads much less traveled.Onward &Safe Travels!🇺🇸🇺🇸

XPLOR is in the Lake Side Wild!
After spending a few days at Santee Lake SP in SC and yesterday we touched down at Watsadler COE CG on Lake Hartwell. I think we landed a really beautiful spot. It’s so nice to see all these lakes brimming full!
After a have to have a campfire 🔥, and a little nectar of the Gods, we really enjoyed a great nights sleep with a cool breeze flowing through XPLOR at 65d with no need for AC.
Note: all the sites here are really nice and with my lifetime America the beautiful pass we paid $32 a night with one night free. That’s a win! 🏆
So on to lake hopping across 3 states to the rally. Our next stop will be Lake Guntersville!
Safe Travels All!
Cheers!The solo loblolly pine in the center of this photo caused us to pause briefly and think about the “Appeal to Heaven flag”. A signal of strength, resilience, justice, liberty, and a moral compass and relying on the higher power of God.
Onward!Patriot🇺🇸

Nice set-up @Patriot! Glad to hear you've got into some nice eastern seaboard seafood...
Ducking T-storms here at Hohenwald. Jason let me bring the rig under their huge metal awning during what I would call marble to golfball sized hail... No damage to report. Concerned more about the TV's windows and body panels than the Casablanca.
Dodging the storm's bullets...
Travel safe...
Max,
Thanks, Hull #634 - XPLOR is always a work in progress! Ha!
Great call and so glad your beautiful Tundra and Casa Blanca did not suffer any damage. Good on Jason too!
Safe travels as you make your way to LGSP! We look forward to meeting y’all!

You are wise to protect your roof top. The sun’s UVs are really rough on the Olivers gelcoat, plastic panels and caulk.
Maybe consider a covered commercial storage location?

8 gorgeous days at Huntington Beach SP for beach fun and great seafood!
The north CG sites are large and quite private, the way a CG should be.
Our second time camping here and we give this SP 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟.Now we are at Lake Santee SP making our way slowly lake jumping 🌊🌊 to Watsadler COE CG on Lake Hartwell in the morning. Then to LGSP on Saturday.
Looking forward to seeing everyone at the rally!Safe Travels!

I need to replace the plastic threaded piece coming out of the back of my toilet that connects to the water supply line. I also want to purchase the Oliver front hitch storage basket. I don’t see a tab for parts anywhere on the Oliver site. Do I need to call the factory or can someone lead me in the right direction thanks.
I recently sold my used cargo box and purchased the Sea biscuit custom locking cargo container and am very happy with it. If I were looking to add a cargo box I would seriously consider this option. It’s more money but you do get a lot more dry lockable storage and it’s very well made. David Hess the owner of Sea biscuit and his team craft fine products built to custom fit to Olivers right in Tenn and they ship. There are other much less expensive cargo box options as well.
If you opt to order from Sea biscuit you will need the Ubolts and plates from Oliver to secure the box. Mike Sharpe at Oliver Service can sell and ship you what you need. We store ALL of our immediate go to set up gear in this box with room to spare. It leaves plenty of extra room in our TV bed. David & Kristine Hess will be at the rally if you plan on attending. We are very happy with our cargo box!
Cheers Happy Camping!- 7

Yes, we always use ours. We just make it an instinctive habit.

Craig,
Sorry this happened. It could easily have happen to any of us. Posting this is a really a great reminder to all of us.
Glad the damage was minimal and the good folks at Oliver Service got you back on the road.
Safe Travels!

It is nothing short of chilling how ancient, how outdated and how insecure our national grid is. After 3 1/2 decades serving in the government I wish I could elaborate more. Upon retiring I signed nondisclosures. If only the general public really knew the truth. Our national grid needs to be upgraded in so many ways.
