Mike and Carol

Those look nice. Nice job on the video, too! Mike

I’ve got CarPlay on my new truck and I really like it. I’m going to check out GAIA. Thanks.

Could be a bad switch? Maybe move the wires to the good side and see if that switch makes any difference.

You could bring it to the rally and charge $10 a weigh in and pay for the scale!

Prices will never come down? How about that larger Ollie? You know the one that is a little wider a little longer with a walk around queen bed and dry bath? 😳 Legacy Elite III? 😁

I agree with Bill. I notice on the rally schedule that there is time for “table top discussions”. Not sure what the subjects will be, but we did that at the second rally that was in Tennessee and would also be a good time to gather with new owners for discussions about questions or whatever comes up.

Welcome! It’s good to see so many new owners going to the rally. You’ll run into lots of experts eager to help and share knowledge and experiences. See you there! Mike

Spent about 3 hours restringing my wounded window shade this afternoon. I used 1mm shade cord, ordered 30’ which was about right to restring the top (screen). It looked a bit overwhelming at first, strings going everywhere... The diagrams and photos in this post were helpful. I also took pictures as I disassembled to help with the reassembly. Once you have it apart it’s interesting to see how it works.

I use a Primo XL at home to smoke with and grill. It’s a ceramic like the BGE but made in USA. They make a small one that I’ve thought about getting for camping. It would still be heavy but would be an outstanding smoker when on the road. My brother has a Traeger and likes it a lot.

That’s how it works on mine as well.

...or the Rebel.😎

I’ve removed the fan blade assembly a dozen times or so for cleaning. I remove and clean the screen even more frequently. A couple of years ago a flock of beetles took up residence between the screen and the fan. I thought that if I turned on the fan at a low speed it might suck them out. WRONG! It was a mess... beetle guts everywhere. When we got home I removed the entire assembly from the trailer. I completely disassembled the fan, cleaned everything, put it back together, climbed back up on top of the trailer and reinstalled it. What I didn’t do was lube anything. I’ll do that this weekend before we go down to the coast next week (Rockport TX).

We all love talking about trucks so we’ll just let these threads go. In a couple of months someone else will ask again and we can all jump in. The more miles (50K+) I put in towing my Ollie the more I move to the bigger is better group. I almost went with a 2500 this time, but alas, I had have a Rebel....

Same here. Same sound and time.

Ours is noisy when opening and closing. I think it’s normal.

We use our cell booster. It’s good for an extra bar or two when we’re not near a tower. We didn’t get the WiFi booster, Campground WiFi is usually saturated and we tend to camp where there isn’t wifi. We do have unlimited data plans on our phones and use them as wifi hotspots. The TV antenna is nice to have and we do use it occasionally. I installed a SiriusXM receiver in the trailer so we usually listen to our news and sports without the TV. Mike

Any of the half tons would be fine if properly configured for towing. Things to consider: brake controller, size of gas tank and cargo capacity. If you pick up in April you need to get your TV early enough to have some miles on it before you tow.

Before ordering essentials like a power cord I’d check with the sales office and get a list of what’s included. They provide a power cord, sewer hose, etc.

Catalina State Park just outside of Tucson last month. We’ve made reservations for next January already.

Yes. The air conditioner is noisy. We avoid using it when possible! Mike

My blocks are not a solid piece. I had an old pressure treated 2X6 that I cut into 6” squares and then stacked them with screws and glue. I drilled through to add the yellow rope that makes grabbing them easier. Then I put on some outdoor stain. They’ve been pretty durable.

Sherry, I’ll check my local Costco. Thanks. Mike

Hey Brian, it looks great! You’ve already been through some bad weather so let’s hope future weather is better. Hope to see you on the road or at the rally. Mike

He’s smiling because it’s the middle of September, the weather in Wyoming is beautiful, we snagged a very nice site at Gros Ventre campground and I’m sipping a nice wine. Oh yeah, and because of the versatility of the blocks. 😆
