Happy Veterans Day and a solemn salute to all who served in the Armed Forces - "Let Freedom Ring..."

Concur, 100%, brother!

Casita is offering new 2-tone models - the white upper hull looks cool with the light gray lower hull, IMO.... As noted earlier, there is always the "wrap" option which could have unlimited variations for an owner.

Welcome to the OTT Family, Jason B.! Just curious, since you've been onboard (likely drinking Oliver information from a 3" water hose) have you had time to scan the OTT Owners Forum? Cheers!

Small world, Robert - we used to live on the Intercoastal Waterway near Big Lagoon State Park just across from Perdido Beach... Looking forward to meeting y'all at the Q next year! Cheers!

We've got the Renogy 200W suitcase w/built in SC - works so well for our style of boondocking that the Honda EU2000i is no longer part of our standard pack-out kit. We've also invested in another portable solar module with a sun tracking feature that we saw at the OTT Owner's Rally last MAY --- we're planning to perform an OPS Check on the "tracker" during our Q-site trip in JAN and will report thereafter....FYI

@rich.dev - Very clean install, brother! How do you like the performance of the entire new system?

To Central Texas from Central Arizona the Slow Way
MAX Burner replied to jd1923's topic in Campgrounds & Parks
@jd1923: Nice fall colors - We love the run from Payson east thru Star Valley over to Heber, Show Low, Eagar, down to Alpine and thru Hannigan Meadows... The White Mountains are incredible this time of year. Keep us posted, awesome route planning through the back roads of AZ, NM, and TX. Cheers! -
We did the same and "mansion" seems the correct way to describe the "extra space" feeling!

Hannigan Meadows! We love camping in the Whites! -
Broke a Leaf Spring in Maine
MAX Burner replied to Galway Girl's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
@jd1923 ; Studying the Leaf spring upgrade thread is a good call, brother! Concur 100%. It's key for OTT owners to know that U-bolts are a "one-time use" item. Once torqued correctly, they should not be removed and used again because they actually "stretch" to fit that particular axle/spring configuration. The leaf spring upgrade thread has proven to have saved several owner's some heartache by having spare leaf springs in their kit when experiencing a spring failure. It's good to learn that @Galway Girl had spare springs and was near a good shop to handle the R&R for them. BRAVO ZULU! Imagine if that particular thread had not been started! Cheers, All! -
FWIW: We've been using the GEN2 system since NOV23 (modified to operate on 12vDC). While D's been working remotely from home since 2018, with SL we're no longer limited to our OTT adventures being a function of her having to take PTO. SL allows for her multiple daily Zoom calls, mobile telecoms, and the like. For us, the SL service is definitely worth the $165/mo roaming fee.

Same here... Never had to prove it to anyone though, HA!

Fridge Problems only on Propane
MAX Burner replied to carnivore's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
Same here! We're "keeping our fingers crossed" and "knocking on wood" hoping that our Dometic fridge hangs in there. It cools fast and freezes nicely - we usually run ours on level 7. The two heat exhaust fans we installed seemed to have helped increase its overall efficiency. -
The white flakes may be a result of the sacrificial anode's chemical reaction with calcium in the water,,,

@rich.dev - sorry for the delayed reply.... just now saw your question. We used the 1.4" Clam for this application.

Victron Orion 50 amp DC/DC charger non-isolated Part 1 of 2
MAX Burner replied to rideadeuce's topic in Ollie Modifications
@rich.dev - FYI: We used the 1.4" Blue Sea Cable Gland and drilled the seal to accept the cord - as you tighten the four stainless screws the slightly tapered gland tightens around the cord for a waterproof seal. -
Front Tongue Cargo Box Install
MAX Burner replied to Boilermaker Chemist's topic in Ollie Modifications
@Boilermaker Chemist - Great job mounting your cargo box - you;ll love having it, Mike! It was a pleasure meeting you at the rally, brother! Cheers! -
Beautiful sunrise at Pancho Villa SP, Columbus, NM this AM - headed to Old Mexico for lunch today... Magnus guarding the perimeter with D and Oscar inside enjoying their BRCC morning Joe (note our newly minted wooden signage made for us by our friend, Coy): @Patriot - FYI: we stayed at Norris CG and loved it there... We felt it was closer to the sights and hikes we wanted to explore. We've also stayed at Fishing Bridge and Madison and thought they were just as awesome. Enjoy, Explor, and Experience it all, brother! Cheers... IMG_2848.HEIC

@topgun2 - Awesome snaps of those nice fatties, Bill! Must have been a very successful Rocky Mtn trip yet again!!! Cheers, brother!
-
Unless you've already done so, be sure to take your lovely bride around the Grand Loop to Mammoth Hot Springs - spectacular views! Enjoy, @Patriot - we've been to YNP twice already this year!!! Love it, always something new to experience there.
-
@TxMN2020 - Congrats on your new 2025 OTT purchase! You'll meet some of the finest folks around at the factory when your delivery day comes around at Hohenwald. Definitely don't be a stranger with these forums as any questions you'll have will have either been addressed in earlier posts or one of us will have suggestions for you to consider. We look forward to seeing pix of your future adventures with your new rig. OBTW: We're already VERY "jelly" over here of your newly designed bathroom door! Cheers!

Made in USA leaf springs
MAX Burner replied to Mountainman198's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
We just returned home after our annual 2-week MC ride up the spine of the Rockies and were absolutely blessed with the best WX ever! 3,800 miles, 8 states, 6 national parks/monuments, and untold numbers of margaritas.... like @Patriot describes, we enjoyed wall-to-wall blue skies every day of the ride. Spectacular fall colors from Ouray to Silverton, BTW! Now, its all about getting the Casablanca ready for a Thursday departure on our long weekend at Columbus, NM and Palomas, Old Mexico... IMG_2831.MOV Cheers, All! -
We love the under mattress storage option!!! We first saw this in Steve and Tali's OTT, wondering if that can be available as a FIY, do you know @ScubaRx?
-
@mossemi - Same here, Mike! But we use the French Press that Jetboil offers - we take it with us on multiple-day MC rides for consistently well-made Joe in the AM. Ever try getting any more of that Blackbeard's Delight BRCC? HA! We love this stuff.... Sorry in advance for highjacking the thread! ARRRGGH!
