  1. This one? https://a.co/d/47jQ7XM
  2. That's a good start, for sure.
  3. Good for them. Each manufacturer has a different market. I'd decline, just as we declined on the smaller Casita, 17 years ago. To me, a separate shower is a waste of valuable space in a small trailer. But, for others, it isn't. The hard part for me is the cabinetry, and carpeted walls.
  4. @Kpaladin, welcome to the Oliver gang. I hope yoibenjoy yours as much as we have enjoyed our adventures in #12, since 2008. Nothing runs like a Deere. Nothing travels like an Ollie. @MAX Burner, we will miss you. Stop by the forum and say "hey" once in awhile. We hope you enjoy your new rig, too.
  5. Our 2008 has the switch at the wheelwell, just above each wheel and jack. Pros and cons to each placement, I guess.
  6. Bigger trailer, bigger truck. Though "technically " you'd be within the legal limits, your travel joy will be increased with a bigger, heavier truck. Dragging 7k up a mountain pass, one time, in your Colorado would likely tell the story. And, hopefully, a great brake controller coming down. Casita typically have a heavier tongue weight, but not as heavy as an O2. Your Colorado would likely be fine for my elite 1, but towing a 2, other than on flats and gradual ascents/descents, I'd want some more oomph, and vehicle weight. I know it's hard to think about trading up trailers, and vehicles at the same time. My 2005 Silverado is about the same size as a current Colorado, but heavier (6k). I have a similar tow rating. Id personally only tow a 2 in Florida flats. Id be nervous going our route to NC, at highway speed, and up green mountain gorge, with your TV. Your anxiety will be decreased, and travel joy and cargo capacity, will increase with a bigger vehicle.
  7. We'll look forward to the finished photos. Then again, many of us with small lots will have a pang of jealousy.... Best of luck!
  8. Ts t continues to be our choice. Great service
  9. Neither did we. OLLIE it is.
  10. Those questions totally depend on where you camp, and local weather .
  11. Right tighty, lefty loosey. You'll get some little bit of gas when everything is closed, but just a tiny bit. If you get more than a bit, you have a faulty valve, or didn't actually close it.
  12. Welcome, from hull #12, 2008. Hoping for you that you live yours as much as we've loved ours. 17 years is a long and fun run . Enjoy every minute.
  13. Where there is a will, there is always a way. We all do what we can to make our trailers take more time to deal with, and hope they'll go on to an easier target. Imo
  14. Not a cat owner, but i have to say that little kitty is adorable! Our dogs have traveled with us from early puppyhood. Best to break them in early, I think. Liv was an international traveler. And great on planes, and in the truck. Taz has been traveling, plane and truck, since 8 weeks. He doesn't really love planes anymore, but he sure loves camping!
