  1. We were notified about a month ago that our delivery would slip from Feb 22 to Feb 28, and they are still showing Feb 28 as we are about to finalize and make the first payment. A slip toward warmer weather is not necessarily a bad thing for us.
  2. Thank you Overland and John Davies. Those are great ideas and give me a lot think about. According to the promotional materials given to me by our Oliver sales rep, the antenna is a Taoglas MK1506.AK.001, which is a low profile bolt-thru-the-roof form factor and actually has 6 cables (2x5G/4G, 3xWi-Fi, 1xGPS). I'd love to have just the antenna, but another poster here got the expected NO from Oliver on that. I like the idea of the closet. Is the ceiling in there just a single layer of outer hull, like in the attic, or would I have to get through both the inner and outer hull? Had not seriously considered a tall mast, but will take another look at postings on that subject.
  3. We got the call to finalize for our late February delivery and time to make some decisions! I'd like to have the functionality of the Cradlepoint Wireless system, but not at that price point, feature set, recurring subscription cost, and apparent reputation of Cradlepoint for not being very consumer-support-oriented. Do any of you have experience with installing any kind of antenna on the forward roof area and snaking cables internally? A rear mount above the attic would be relatively straightforward, but I'm concerned about signal blockage from the A/C unit. I'm relatively unafraid of DIY mods, but would also consider an install by Oliver Service at a later date after purchase if they would do that kind of work. These type of antennas have multiple cables which would make the snaking process more difficult - I think the Taoglas has about 5 and more advanced antennas would have even more. I have read other posts and am aware of other options like a wi-fi hotspot, but would like to get an idea of whether such an install is possible. I love being away from it all, but also love staying connected. Thanks!
  4. Thanks for that information. With my order finalization coming up within a month, I have been researching the Cradlepoint and coming up with the same sorts of limitations you mention. And this answers one of my big questions on the separate installation of the Taoglas antenna. I'm interested in the possibility of a self-installation of a more up to date antenna. I'd think it would need to be placed in the front of the trailer to avoid blockage by the A/C unit. I wonder how difficult it would be to snake the multiple-cable bundle from that location back to one of the cabinets. I have seen postings on mounting a camera over the attic and that looks pretty straighforward, but have not seen anything on punching through the front end of the roof.
  5. We are looking forward to our new arrival in February, and are starting to put together a list of things to take to delivery. The Oliver FAQs say that they provide a potable water hose, waste hose, lug wrench, water pressure regulator, etc. I think there are a lot more goodies in the "etc" that are provided by Oliver. Is there a complete list somewhere of all the included items? We wouldn't want to buy some gizmo and then find that it is already included with the trailer.
  6. Howdy everyone! We are Steve and Cindy from Houston. We have been researching Olivers for quite a while, and Josh gave us a fantastic factory tour several weeks ago. I'm happy to report that we have put down our deposit on a Legacy Elite II for a February '22 delivery! What a beautiful machine to enjoy in our empty-nester years! The forums have been a great source for information, and we look forward to digging through more of your great tips and stories as we await our new arrival.
