Well our 4 side has 9 lives. On Cape Cod it was one stake from the ship channel. At Inks Lake several years ago, it ended up 250 yards back on the park Road. Another time it landed in our pond while I had it on the patio to clean and dry The four corner tabs have all come off and been re-attached with fishing line. Holes have been patched. It keeps on ticking. We will continue to use it until we can't.

IMO this is a disaster waiting to happen. The chance of damaging your trailer is high. It is not a question if, but when. Not worth the risk. The stability is another concern. If that breaks off while driving, the result could be deadly for someone following behind and cause you to loose control. Please listen to what others have shared.

Propane tanks should never be carried inside a vehicle in my opinion. At the very least windows need to be cracked for ventilation. Suggest you add an outside mount on the rear of the van.

Thanks for posting this. Late last year or early this year Steve Landrum posted that he had just received a call from Scott Oliver that moving forward all sales would be through the dealer network. Then, recently someone posted on Facebook they were going to order through the Mothership. I commented that it had to be through a dealer and cut and pasted Steve's Forum post. Almost immediately someone from Oliver posted on Facebook that trailers could still be ordered from the Mothership. It would be nice if there was an official announcement from Oliver. I felt like a Jack A__. Things must have changed. Steve posted what came from the his conversation with Scott. π

I need to get a first hand up close look to see how these work. Am I correct they control the movement of the door, so the door doesn't fly open when you open the door in the windπ -
Just got mine from Amazon. When I go to storage, I will swap it out and coil the old one and keep it as back-up.

π€£ I did get a good chuckle.

My post was about the brake cable hanging too low, not the chainsππ
-
Nice, π

This has been bothering me for a while. When I connect the brake cable to the truck it hangs down to 2"-3" above the road. Can you run it up through the hitch pin with the 7-pin cord? What does everyone do? I'm concerned it is matter of time before it is hit by road debris. Having the trailer brakes activate at 60+ mph is a scary thought. Thanks,

+2, I use the buckets and have a piece of 90-mil single ply roofing I place on the surface and then the Andersen Jack Base. I just couldn't come up with a reason to spend the $$.

Yep. 3rd year with detector, but not sure what the date is on the back. Weird that this has happened to a number of people. May need to check out another source.

I ended up covering the CO Detector with saran wrap and tape. Went 24 hours without a beep. Asked the manager at our storage place to listen for beeping. Couldn't find the fuse, well I could a black fuse holder, but wasn't completely sure if it was for CO Detector, so used Saran Wrap. This whole thing is very strange as I was using the same TV antifreeze from Ace Hardware that I used in 2022 and 2023.
-
Where is the fuse for the CO Detector? Fuse box? In the detector? If in the detector how do you get to it? Even with everything covered and a fan on the floor, it was going off this morning. Leaving to take it to storage in a couple of hours.

We use two 1-gallon containers of DampRid, and 2-packets of Eva-Dry Charcoal packets in the bathroom and closet when trailer is stored. We have a plug in dehumidifier and use Eva-Dry charcoal packets, and a rechargeable dehumidifier when traveling.
