Yes, we have, many years ago. The microwave came loose on one side, and pretty much everything in the trailer was jostled around. That's with an Elite 1. I wouldn't recommend it, at all, especially with an Elite 2.

If you wish, I can move your post to classifieds. Sherry

Welcome to the forum, Maureen. Now that you've registered, you can see the classified ads. Finding an Elite 1 used is a little harder than a 2, as the population is smaller. But, several have sold this year. Check in frequently. Good luck! Sherry

Btw, I looked back at old info. The monitor in the techomadia photo 24", big in 2008. So, yours will be maybe 14 inches wider, and a bit longer. Lcd/led monitors are measured on the diagonal, like tvs. My only concern about that location is if the dog sleeps on the bed during the day, as mine does.

Look at the back of your monitor. You should see four holes, in a rectangular or square pattern. Measure the vertical and horizontal distance between two holes, in mm, and you'll see the size vesa mount you need. Most mounts have multiple sets of holes for fastening to the screen or monitor, so probably not a big issue. It's entirely possible that the mount for the Oliver TV would hold your monitor. But I doubt if it will articulate the way you'd probably want it to, to use your monitor from a seated position at the small dinette. That's something you'll want to talk to Jason about. And, a way to lock it into place during travel.

You can also try your hand at the docking simulator, from spacex. https://iss-sim.spacex.com/ What a way to spend a Sunday night.

Resilience will dock with the iss tomorrow night. You can see it on nasa, or youtube. I seriously have tears in my eyes. Such a great achievement.

Another historic and successful launch tonight! It was too cloudy for me to see anything from the back yard, but I watched it online at nasa channel. So proud of everyone involved, and especially the brave crew of 4.

Most tvs and monitors use the standard Vesa mount, multiplrs of 100 x 100 mm. You may need to order an articulating mount ahead if time. I don't know what the selection will be like in Hohenwald . Walmart is about it for shopping in town. Something like this, maybe? https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Premium-Mount-Monitor-Stand/dp/B010QZCT5W Make sure you can return anything you order, as you're unsure of what will work til you get there.

BlueHighways, Love the name you chose! So many of us love to travel the smaller roads. Sounds like you have made it your mission. By now, you should have your new Oliver. Looking forward to photos .

I ordered a janome today, with a walking foot. Adding to the collection . I also okayed a new saw for Paul. Adding to his collection. Lol

I've thought about this, too. I'd love to have a larger work area, as the small dinette table is "multipurpose " in our trailer. It's the office. It's my prep area for cooking. And of course, it's occasionally even a dining table... Drop leaves couldn't be very large, without messing with leg room. Foldunder leaves, like restaurants use taking a square table to a round, would have to be smaller because of the post. I'm thinking a full size foldover top, like some marine tables, could double the workspace for the kitchen. (Like a sewing machine cabinet, where the lid folds out and becomes workspace.) Folding out over the aft dinette seat would double my workspace during the day. Clean it off, fold it back, and back to dining or laptop office. The lip on my table is about 1 3/4 inches, so a base tabletop of 1"thick wood, possibly x-braced inset to avoid warping, plus a 3/4 inch foldout top panel could work. Extender supports could slide out for strength. And, still allow you to have a sofa. With hidden hinges (maybe Hafele?) And slideout support for the 3/4" thick top. Morticing in the hinges, and x brace, would be the toughest part.

Good call on rhe shower wall, John. I've only hung command hooks on mine,, with 2 or three coats.. probably not more than 10 pounds. Maybe mounting to the upper cabinet, above the front small dinette chair? With a backing plate? And a way to lock it in and prevent motion underway. I'm sure Jason will have better ideas when SherMica gets to speak with him. Hanging it in the place of the TV mount presents other problems, with space for the dog. I know my dog claims the entire bed as her own during the day, even though she has her own spot on the little dinette seat for nights.

I don't know if there was a Halloween orange edition, but the snowflake/holiday cling wrap should be enough to alert anyone that the toilet is "winterized. "

We have a compressor type, whole house dehumidifier in our home in Florida. I've not used a dehumidifier in the Oliver, yet. I was curious, too, about the difference between compressor vs dessicant dehumidifiers. Thus article was pretty informative. Dessicant type is more quiet (I'd like that, in the trailer), and more efficient in cool weather, below 15c/ 59 f, or so it says. https://www-andatechdistribution-com-au.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/www.andatechdistribution.com.au/a/s/blogs/news/desiccant-or-compressor-dehumidifier?amp_js_v=a6&amp_gsa=1&usqp=mq331AQFKAGwASA%3D#aoh=16054442036917&referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&amp_tf=From %1%24s&ampshare=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.andatechdistribution.com.au%2Fblogs%2Fnews%2Fdesiccant-or-compressor-dehumidifier

Those photos should really be helpful to SherMica. Thanks, Hokieman. Shermica, I did some rough measurements in my trailer this morning. Two places that could potentially accommodate your big monitor are the ones I mentioned before. With caveats. If it were mounted on the shower wall, in use you would not be able to access the bathroom door, or open it. The monitor would have to be maneuvered back into the corner to do so. In the corner of the bed, you'd need a long arm to make it useable from the small dinette. In either spit, it will cover more than half of an adjoining window. Where will your dog be sleeping? On the floor? In the big bed? On the small dinette? Steve/Scubarx drops down the little dinette for his large dog every night. As I recall, Technomadia used to dropdown and makeup the big bed every night, so that they had workspace during the day for two people. Not only is that a pain, but you'd lose a lot of underbed storage with that plan.

Good luck. Fingers crossed for you.🤞🤞🤞

Technomadia's 2008 monitor and articulating mount.

My guess is it's a height issue, restricting access to the emergency exit /rear window. The elite I has a few inches less interior height than a II. Pretty sure technomadia mounted a quite large monitor in the rear corner, back in the day. I'll poke around and see if I can find a photo.

I wouldn't want to give it up, either, if I could find a way to make it work. We like our samsung curve tv. The slight curve should actually help, in a corner install. It will cover part of each of the adjoining windows.

Looks like the standard TV mount (24 inch tv) is in the corner. But, I'd still ask my rep. I don't know how old that photo is

And then, these glow in the dark... I think I'd tire of seeing them in the rear view mirror, though

I'm of course assuming the TV Vesa mount and backing for the elite 1 is still in the corner, not over the back exit window.

That's exactly what I was thinking about. A long arm mount that could stretch over the 54" bed in the daytime, push back into the sw curved corner at night. Replace the tv. Work from the small dinette. A monitor that big can't be right on your nose, anyway.

Thinking about it, you "could" possibly pick one side of the dinette for the monitor. Shower side. You'd sit facing the front of the trailer. It would take up a lot of space, and pretty much eliminate anyone sitting in that seat . Dimensions?
