A stepstool is so handy. We have carried this one for many years

Slick. Could you just use a little velcro? I use velcro a lot.

I agree. Our 40 plus year old sailboat is heavy, by today's standards. But the layup has stood the test of time, and of our voyages. I, too, watch new manufacturers with interest. I'm very skeptical about this group,however, from what they've shown, and subsequently taken down, over the last few months on their website . They also "build" offshore (their billing) boats, but I've not seen even a prototype, of anything bigger than15 ft. That's not an offshore boat. It's a good day lake or intracoastal boat, imo. Even that is likely a prototype. We'll see. It's an interesting process, one used in some boats. Also, very expensive. Like I said, We'll see. There is much refinement left to be done, to make it a good trailer, imo.

The ac in the photo is dometic. The fridge is way too big. This trailer is about the size of my Elite. 48" bed, if you want a small dinette, and full time bed. I watched their videos in February, before they took them down. Interesting manufacturing , but I wouldn't be putting any money down. Pretty sure the blue trailer is their first, and only. They were making a mold in February. From a Casita.

The frame looks really low, like a boat trailer, with a bumper attached.

We used a washable, but heavy, runner the first few years. I still have it, and use it occasionally in the winter as a second layer. My most favorite, but kind of ugly rugs, are the ones I'm using now. They're carpet with a heavy foam back that I bought at a discount store. Low nap. Sweep or vacuum easily, inside the trailer, or out. Did I mention that they're rather ugly? I'll take that for the ease of use, especially in the fall, when everything gets tracked in-- mud , leaves, detritus.

Looks like it works. Most of us never need it, but nice to know you (probably) have the bits with you, or readily available.

The collar lock can be used while hitched or camped. That's why many of us have it.

In our 2008, side to side is about 23. Flooring is 18". 72" from end of bed to bath door.

That looks great, and I'm sure it works great, too!

Looks very pretty.

Thanks, @LongStride. I don't know if I'll ever need the snow capability, with my Silverado, as it rarely leaves Florida anymore, but it's nice to have it, just in case.

Some use a runner, others, like us, use a couple throw rugs, because it's easier/light to roll them up and shake or sweep them out, and wash them. I can measure mine for you, but it's 2008, and flooring may not be quite the same. For example, we don't have flooring under the small dinette. Newer Elites do. Either way, highly recommend a rug of some sort, especially in cold weather.

Try here: Not a cat person, but hope it helps. Are your cats harness and leash trained?

Yes, yours are plugs. I have nothing like that on mine. I could see making some sort of foam plugs, from a length of pipe insulation, if you just want to plug the holes.

So, is redline cv-2 comparable to phil woods? I'm confused

JeD, even 200 ah lithium, would probably work for us. You know, we just have 2 x 105 ah agm, so... I really don't know where I picked up "sticky wicket." Though, I've worked with a number of Brits, over the years. I like the phrase, though. 😄

This may be practical for folks with larger lithium battery banks, or those who typically camp with hookups. We love our dc compressor fridge, but it alone uses 60 to 70 amp hours each day, in moderate temperatures. That's a lot of the useable capacity, in my elite. I'm ok with it, as we use power for little else than fridge, occasional fan, and a few hours of lights, but not everyone would be. Stickier wicket if you dry camp in the cold, as the furnace fan takes a lot if power .

What's the distance between the prongs that hold the covers in the slot? Mine are .75 inch, inside to inside. They're not really "plugs," but instead little tiny visors.

Sorry for the detour, but love the memories .

I do, too. I wish they were made the same as the old days . My brother's in-laws own two vintage airstrams. Yes, they are often a lot of work (which often falls on my brother as poppy will be 90 soon), but they are very pretty. Someday, after we're gone, vintage Oliver will be as collectible. Imo. With less work, I suspect.

I'll double down on that. And, vice versa,, certain memories bring back smells. My grandmother's kitchen always smelled of cashmere bouquet handsoap, pungent geraniums in the windowsill, and vegetable soup. I can see and smell her kitchen, to this day .
