  1. Legally, you sure can. Realistically, you may be super anxious and unhappy in mountain passes. Not sure on the specs of your 2026. I like a TV with weigh exceeding the trailer, and excess towing capacity. We towed our Elite home from Hohenwald to Florida with our Vilvo xc90. It was fine. Towing to Asheville, through Green River Gorge, we wete definitely in the slow lane, and wishing for more power. Volvo weighed around 6000 lbs, trailer probably 4900. We've been happy towing it with a half ton. Is the 4 runner built on a truck chassis? Not familiar with them.
  2. The hc1 is adorable, and great if you don't care about a kitchen or bath. A cute retro 13' hard sided tent.
  3. 5k buys a lot of battery power and portable solar. An awning has to be brought in in windy conditions. Pretty prevalent in many parts of the west. I'd skip it. We use the original awning a lot. Sometimes only a foot or two over the door. Never been tempted to get a second awning, though. Congratulations on your upcoming adventures!
  4. A little sad to see this, as I thought the intent was to have qualified service beyond Hohenwald . But, I get it. Oliver is a distinct elite niche product.
  5. We use a compressor and small nozzle at the end to blow out the track drains. Also have used pipe cleaners and wire in the past. The window design is pretty much window industry standard. My home windows also have weepholes. If drains/weephole are clear, you have other issues. Definitely eyebrows/gutters help, but is there another issue?
  6. Not for me. Way too much tech to go wrong. Deck is a crazy idea, and super claustrophobic with no window when not deployed. SkyDream Plans Global Launch into Challenging RV Market https://share.google/kpEvukUMmqfENZR7F
  7. That's great! I was excited when we finally completed my map. Now, I just want to revisit what we couldn't/didn't have time for . I've logged time in all 50. Not the Oliver in Hawaii or Alaska. When my grandson is old enough for preschool, we will be on the road again. In the meantime, treasured memories, as im sure you have.
  8. Its the parent company, apparently. Affecting a bunch of good companies they've bought, including Reese and Tekonsha. Major RV Hitch/Towing Company Goes Bankrupt; DOJ Investigating - RV News https://share.google/kvLioMOy73cWpU6Z3
  9. We did just that about 6 years ago. The butyl has held up just fine for us. Still loving that dome, and especially the light ring. Where the fan is located in an original Elite may not be as "curved" as the newer II's. I can't tell you, as I've not bern on the roof of a II. Modern butyl is pretty good stuff.
  10. What did you replace the blinds with? Very generous of you.
  11. We sure do. Thats what makes life, and forums interesting
  12. In light of the wintery weather all over the south, this is a great idea! I've always just tucked a folded blanket against the hull, but this is thinner, and probably just as effective.
  13. Thank you. I love listening Andrea, and also his duets. One of my favorite is this.
