Harbor freight often has these on sale for 5.99. With a 20 per cent off coupon, even better. Best chocks around. For the price.

Make sure you buy good chocks. Those won't come with your trailer. 4 x harbor freight chocks, with coupon, probably 22 bucks.

Topgun, assuming he's already disconnected from the ollie. Getting leakage from olllie battery.

rv antifreeze is dyed pink for two reasons. 1. So people don't confuse it with lethal automotive radiator antifreeze. 2. So that when water turns clear from pink, when you de-winterize, you know it's out if the system.

great price, btw. Thanks!

The SeeLevel guages are better than most, imo. (When we installed new tanks and gages on the boat, SeeLevel was our choice.) But, level front to back and side to side still make a difference in the readings, depending on where the Guages are mounted. I judge "full" by looking down the drop with the valve open, as a backup. Same as any rv we've had or delivered. The black tank is just not the tank you want "overfilled." 🤨 Also, depends on where the dump valve is located. I think we get some extra storage (by several gallons) in the black waste pipe, in our older Ollie. Great idea to test with clean. I've always recommended that newbies fill the new black tank with clean water, to learn how to dump. No big deal if clean water gets spilled with a faulty connection or technique.

Nice. We used shower slip guard strips from Walmart.

If your model is an inverter/charger, that's exactly what it is designed to do. Charge when ac is available, switch to battery/inverter when ac fails. Not ideal if you don't know what's happening, and don't have a ton of battety available. Slick if you do.

We tow with a 2008 Ram 1500, 4x4, 5.7 hemi, because we use the truck for many purposes, and we need the 4x4 on our NC property. I'm curious for the new owners. For those of you with the smaller Elite, what's your choice?. And pros/cons.

Agreed. Another of my favorite expressions. 😄

Xantrex makes both inverters, and inverter/chargers with builtin transfer switches.

Yes. Since it wasn't annotated in the drawing, I forgot about the nightstand. (We don't have nightstands.) Thanks for that reminder! 🤦‍♀️

Our local Ace hardware does rescreening, too.

Omg. That's so funny. The BRAT. But, the rear seats in the Hummer face forward. and, they're inside the cab, instead of the truck bed. 🤣🤣🤣

The crab mode is pretty cool. And interesting . https://www-theverge-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/www.theverge.com/platform/amp/2020/10/20/21525290/hummer-ev-electric-truck-gmc-price-specs-range?amp_js_v=a6&amp_gsa=1&usqp=mq331AQFKAGwASA%3D#aoh=16032443539618&referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&amp_tf=From %1%24s&ampshare=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.theverge.com%2F2020%2F10%2F20%2F21525290%2Fhummer-ev-electric-truck-gmc-price-specs-range

Btw, go Rays. Tiny budget, mighty grit.

Not much range for the (wow!) price. I think it "launched" yesterday. Not available any time soon-- fall 2022. Except for the $112k launch edition, sometime 2021. https://electrek-co.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/electrek.co/2020/10/20/gm-hummer-ev-electric-supertruck-range-price/amp/?amp_js_v=a6&amp_gsa=1&usqp=mq331AQFKAGwASA%3D#aoh=16032434249528&referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&amp_tf=From %1%24s&ampshare=https%3A%2F%2Felectrek.co%2F2020%2F10%2F20%2Fgm-hummer-ev-electric-supertruck-range-price%2F

My favorite expression, since retirement. Every day is Saturday

Good point. I can measure that. I don't remember, offhand. And, our trailer is "lifted." Thinking about that, this could be different today. Probably better to ask her Ollie sales rep. I don't think they've changed a lot, but they now come with lt tires, and not sure on wheel size for the new Elite.

I'd agree with Mike, there. My daily driver is a pickup. I learned to drive in pickups and much larger trucks. And, it won't be much different from driving your big Escalade. Look for the 4 x 4. I'm shorter, (shorter legs) and find Nissan and Ford seats more comfortable in newer models. See what you think, as you test drive.

Btw, we installed the harness and receptacle for our Tekonsha Prodigy in all three vehicles. Just moved the brake controller around as needed. Some newer pickups, with tow package, already have a builtin brake controller. You want a "tow package," not just a hitch, for towing your trailer. There is an important difference.

We've never used an Anderson on our tow vehicles. 2004 Volvo xc90, 2008 ram 1500, 2005 1500 Silverado. The Elite is lighter and smaller than the II. More choices in tow vehicles . I suspect your big Escalade (same platform as Hummer?) would be fine. But, if you want a truck, find a 1500 that feels good when you drive it. If you're going to be changing up anyway, I'd recommend 4x4. You definitely do not need a 3/4 ton truck to comfortably tow an Elite I. There are many suvs that would also work.

Ok. I was concerned that others might think the bed was realky short. Lol

I love fall in the Appalachians. This year, the leaves aren't brilliant. But still pretty.

We stayed at lamoine state park once, when Acadia was too full for our liking. It was quite beautiful.
