I, personally, dislike silicon . But, that's a personal thing. Any decent bathroom sealant will give you a decent seal for the vanity. I personally prefer polyurethane, interior . No reason to go with uv 4000 in the bath. Imo. John's suggestion on the plastic blade is a good one.

A little silicon spray helps. It's a small price to pay, imo, for the extra step. Our original step was one step. The double step makes my life so much easier. No step stool needed in awkward high steps.

I've mentioned this several times, but definitely the "easiest " I can think of. Many SoB trailers drain bath sink to the black. Relatively easy plumbing retro in an Ollie.

Then , you don't even need to worry about his process . I'm interested in more detail, as well.

Jordanv, did you get the composting toilet?

Looks like a nice chair. I personally like the folding chairs with runners as opposed to feet that dig into the ground, like this one. We have a few from Aldi that fold down very compact, with a small side table. Another few with side tables, not so compact. We have mana bear and papa bear sizes, and, like BoB, way too many chairs...

You and your boys are making memories that will last a lifetime. I'm really happy for all of you!

Do you really have one, or is that an early April fool's joke?

It's really a matter of preference. We've used the same smaller 5 x 7 or 8 mat for a dozen years, and another small rug or two in front of the steps. It's easier to clean and handle. 6 x 9 would also fit under the Elite awning, too. A number of places with grass sites don't allow rugs, at all, (they kill the grass) but will ignore a small walkoff mat at the door.

If you haven't done so already, I would encourage you to open a service ticket on the home screen here. Even if you fix it yourself, Oliver should be made aware of it.

You have to keep in mind that the Discovery isn't a full size suv. For a compact, it actually has a great towing capacity. Probably twice that of most in its class. Sadly, not quite enough to safely tow the Oliver Elite, because of the limited tongue weight. It could pair up with a number of lightweight teardrops though, and quite a few other options.

That's an interesting collection. I'm glad the GMC motorhome is included. I'd not seen the StarStreak before. Built here in Florida!

@LongStride, I wonder if they sold out to trailer valet?

@T-Oliver that's the first I've looked at the parkit 360 site in years. They've changed a lot of things. The telescoping leg looks like a much safer way to attach the trailer. That was not available years ago. Much more like the eztug attachment point. Thanks for the info. Btw, I see they now offer a 7 pin connector to use the trailer brakes with some models. That's extremely useful. Does yours have the 7pin?

Longstreet, that trax dolly looks like a great, stable solution. And much more power than the parkit 360. Love that it actuates the brakes. We use chocks every time we stop to make adjustments. And I would second the opinion that the parkit 360 doesn't like the bulldog hitch. The third wheel should give it more stability. We also used turf blocks in the sideyard. Ours are filled with sand and shell. I'll look forward to your comments after you get it. FWIW, when we first got our Elite, we pushed it over plywood on grass, with a manual dolly and three people. We moved the plywood half sheets as we pushed it back. It's possible, but not fun. And that was level ground, at our old house.

Battery tray sizes are very different in the two models.

And, I'm proud of you for managing that! As is, I'm sure, your neighbor.

Totally get that. When we back the trailers into our drive, and close to the side gate, we usually use my 2005 stepside, regular cab silverado. The 4x4 ram is great in many situations, but the maneuverability of my smaller truck, in tight spaces, is so much better. The older truck is much more nimble, smaller, and tighter turn radius. Our parking space is ridiculously tight. Gates barely wide enough for the trailer. So, final entry is get close, drop the trailer, add the abhorrent 360, and go from there. But the 360 doesn't have the power to go (slightly) uphill on our paved drive, for long. So, a truck has to get it close to the flat part of the drive.

They won't work on gravel. Or grass. Imo. We used to put plywood down on grass. Even then, it was very iffy. You might be better off with a front hitch on your TV.

We own two other power dollies that we've used for our smaller Elite, the ez tug, and a parkit 360. The parkit 360 is more like this, but has its own 12v battery. I can't imagine trying to steer the trailer, and run a drill to operate a dolly at the same time, honestly. Not crazy about the parkit 360, as attaching to the trailer properly is tricky, and it's very awkward, and doesn't seem steady in turns. Works ok on flat and smooth, very slowly. Just two little wheels under the tongue make me nervous every time we use it. But, it does make it possible to get the trailer into our narrow sideyard. I like the attachment of the eztug better. But, it's not rated for the weight if even our Elite. It's fine for moving the boat. I couldn't recommend either one, honestly.

What a great camping gift! It's called Scrubby yarn, available at any craft store. I have a couple little bundles upstairs that I picked up at Walmart a few years ago. Time to break out Gramma's crochet hook and see if I remember how to use it.
