  1. Sometimes, the adhesive is inconsistent. I believe it come affixed to the chrome strip, like ez rv gutters. Our bath trim fell off. We replaced it with vhb tape. If I had to do it again, I'd use one strip of vhb, as opposed to the two narrow strips, as being too close to the outer edges, it leaves a tiny bit of gap. https://olivertraveltrailers.com/forums/topic/4315-bathroom-bellyband-trim-redo/
  2. ) 20210711_133521.mp4 So far, so good. Only a few months of use, but just as quiet as when installed. Here's a short video. You can see how close the camera was to the fan, so kind of (my) head height, standing.
  3. The towel rack looks really nice. How is it fastened to the fridge door? Did you use the command type towel bar, or another brand if true stainless steel and vhb tape?
  4. You might also search audi q7, as they are quite similar, mechanically, as I understand. I don't remember who has towed with the Audi, or if they were diesel, but it's another comparison point. https://olivertraveltrailers.com/forums/search/?&q=Audi q7&search_and_or=or
  5. That would likely be a good choice, as Oliver already has a good business relationship with Truma. The Truma German engineering is tested in eu, long before it gets here .
  6. A stepstool is so handy. We have carried this one for many years
  7. Slick. Could you just use a little velcro? I use velcro a lot.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. The frame looks really low, like a boat trailer, with a bumper attached.
  11. 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.
  12. Looks like it works. Most of us never need it, but nice to know you (probably) have the bits with you, or readily available.
  13. The collar lock can be used while hitched or camped. That's why many of us have it.
  14. In our 2008, side to side is about 23. Flooring is 18". 72" from end of bed to bath door.
  15. That looks great, and I'm sure it works great, too!
  16. Looks very pretty.
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. Type the "@" symbol, then without spaces, start typing the username. Click on the name when it fills in below. Everything will turn blue. @Townesw
  20. Try here: Not a cat person, but hope it helps. Are your cats harness and leash trained?
  21. 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.
  22. So, is redline cv-2 comparable to phil woods? I'm confused
  23. Years ago, Matt Duncan started this thread, asking members to recommend service centers across the country that had provided good service. Those of you who have had great experiences may want to add to this thread: https://olivertraveltrailers.com/forums/topic/2235-third-party-maintenance-facilities/
  24. 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. 😄
