  1. My sister has a Luxury Travel Van made in Canada that is high on bling, but in my eyes, is lower in function than our 2022 LE2. John
  2. We had our one year old 2022 treated by CGI in November, 2023. Very nice and highly recommend. John
  3. I went outside to see how loud the movie was that I had going inside as it was late and the trailer is parked by the garage and is my "man cave". I also couldn't hear it. No worries for the neighbors. Good selling point for OTT to mention. John
  4. We have #1290. We're in Australia now, but do you know if the leaf springs that we have are 4 or 5 leaf? We mostly keep to freeways, but some freeways are dodgy. I am thinking of I70 in eastern Colorado. I am just wondering how serious the issue is with mostly freeway driving. John
  5. I wonder if they would still feel the same if they pulled a larger stick built trailer several thousand miles, then had the chance to tow an Oliver an equal distance. Also, I was hesitant about a wet bath until I saw how easy it was to keep clean. John
  6. I have a gas sniffer unit too for #1290. It worked great to find my leak. John
  7. Tasmania has been great. Summer temperatures here in Hobart are between 70-75 every day with a breeze. I drove up north to the Bass Strait to meet a Facebook friend. Greener there. The Midlands was dry and warmer. Our son lives in Hobart and bought a house here. We're spending time with our granddaughter. Great times. Seven weeks this visit. We will be back. Driving on the left is easier than I imagined. Just look right when at a roundabout! John
  8. We're in Tasmania during their summer. I have been some nice rigs, but lots of stick built ones too. I haven't seen any fiberglass units. John
  9. My guess is that the round exterior and by default, the round interior where the beds are is stronger than a squared off section would be. I remember the geodesic domes that were strong due to their shape. If it was square I would guess again that there would be more stresses on the corner. The round shape I believe is stronger. It's all a guess on my part. Maybe someone with a structural engineering background could verify yay or nay. More room on the bed in a rectangular shape would be nice, but I make it work for my feet facing aft. John
  10. Congrats to you. We are #1290, one of the last hulls made in 2022. We love ours. Hope you have miles of smiles to come. John
  11. "I have the Proven Lock system to lock up the bull-dog hitch. I recommend it. It cost a little more than what you are proposing but is far more secure." I have the same lock. It's heavy, but more secure than just a padlock. John
  12. No sales tax in Oregon, but we had to pay a use tax of about $600-$700. John
  13. Very good point. It would be interesting to see the pricing structure. Obviously a person would expect to pay less at Hohenwald. A couple thousand more to avoid a 4-5000 mile round trip would be worth paying a bit more. For us in Oregon, that makes sense. I can't see paying more to a dealer in Alabama or Georgia though. John
