  1. I agree. As a company, OTT is outstanding and they are trying to create easier access across the country to good service for this unique trailer. I will remain positive in my thinking, and be glad if I need service out west and there is someone, somewhere, who is associated with the OTT mothership. My guess is that it will be much better than my experience last year using SOB trailer service (an hour from my location and poor service).
  2. Congratulations to All! That's wonderful news!
  3. While digital photography is cheaper, faster and easier, I believe we have lost some unique and special qualities of film. Your story reminds me of this gentleman -- he was making tintype images at Shiprock when I stopped by in October 2016. He developed them right there in a tent. Here is his blog post about it: https://www.nomadicfrog.com/2016/10/21/shiprock-valley-of-the-gods-and-the-goosenecks
  4. My habit last year was to read the thermometer that is mounted on the wall -- but maybe it isn't accurate enough. Also, @topgun2 makes excellent points about the location of thermometers outside for accurate reading.
  5. There are some lovely camping spots in the panhandle north of Tallahassee. Enjoy the warmth of Florida!
  6. I'm looking at the Proven Hitch Lock and the FtKnox Locks Hitch Lock. I couldn't find the original poster who mentioned watching YouTube videos, but thanks to them. I found two good sources of many videos defeating locks. This is why it's a deterrent and not a guarantee. But I'll definitely be replacing the Blaylock Bulldog Lock that I currently use. Here are two video sources (hopefully my links work): FtKnox Locks -- defeating many hitch locks. Be sure to look on YouTube the channel for other videos. https://ftknoxlocks.com/lock-fails The Lock-Picking Lawyer -- defeating many locks, but this is one of two videos about Proven Hitch Locks. In the other video he makes a "rare" recommendation in favor of the Proven Hitch Lock. See his channel for other videos. I have not been able to ascertain whether Proven has updated the Puck Locks that they sell to improve this issue. Does anyone know about the puck options?
  7. If I remember correctly (!) the reason some people chose not to use the auto-switch is that they might not be aware when the first tank is out of gas so to speak and then they can be surprised when the second one runs out.
  8. Greetings all -- I'm going to reignite this thread, after a brief exchange elsewhere about amateur radio. I hope that additional hams will join this thread. I'm still working to assemble the equipment I need to take my shack on the road, but getting close. I use a Yaesu FT991A, and plan to make home brew antennas. I also have an HT that I purchased used; I'm still learning to use it. No antenna on the TV. Most of my time this winter has been dedicated to study and practice with my local ARES (Amateur Radio Emergency Service); we have an excellent group here and I consider myself very fortunate to have so many experienced operators sharing their wisdom. Once I get on the road again, I hope to find local nets as I move around, and will try to connect with other Oliver hams when I can find you. I'd love to hear from more hams with information about their favorite equipment for travel (whether mounted in the Oliver or not). Photos are helpful! I'm really sorry that I missed the presentation at last year's Oliver rally. 73 KN4NBV
  9. I don't have a mobile radio *yet* (haha) but eventually. Meanwhile I have my HT and the FT-991A. KN4NBV 73s Hope to find you on the air!
  10. Congratulations! I'm so happy for you, and thrilled that you were able to tour my sweet Oliver when I was out in Jackson last fall. I look forward to seeing more posts of your adventures. All the best wishes for you on the road! Toni
  11. Greetings All, I've been away from my computer and the forum for a few months, while soaking up the mild Florida winter sun and playing with amateur radio. This year I plan to bring my radio with me, so I hope I make contacts with some other Oliver hams out there. It looks like I'm seeing most of the usual suspects here in the forum -- just a couple of hours on here, and I'm already psyched up for the next camping adventure. I'm glad I spent time perusing the forum, too, because I learned something new, as usual! This year I'm heading back to the Rockies but I'm traveling through Texas to see family on the way. I'll be missing the Solar Eclipse party out there, but I'll be passing through a couple of weeks later. I'll keep my eyes peeled for Olivers on the road. All the Best!
  12. Thanks for this post -- I had no idea about this issue. Fob pouches on order.
