That's a good idea since we often camp far away from cellular reception. Yes, it's more expensive, but not terrible. And, @Steve Morris, it's good to know that your Trak-4 has been mostly reliable most of the time. This is going to be a difficult decision!

Oh, I did not see that option on their website!

We feel safe when the trailer is at home, but we want tracking abilities when we boondock in isolated areas in Utah and leave the trailer while we go off hiking for the day.

That's a good idea, @CRM! I was looking into the Trak-4 tracker, and their subscription is $7 a month, after purchasing the device for around $15 on Amazon. So the phone would actually be a costlier method, but I like your ingenuity!☺️

We are wanting to place a GPS tracker on our Ollie. The posts concerning trackers that I’ve seen on these forums all appear to be at least two years old. I’d love to know what trackers you folks are using now - and, of course, details on how you like them, the monthly/annual cost, etc. We have android phones. Thanks, Barb

Very good points. This is why I asked y'all on the forums!

Thank you, @Rivernerd! That’s the direction my husband would like to go. We appreciate the links.😊

INDEED!!!

Looks like that will be our route, too. I’m glad @Steve Morris walked the road ahead of us. ☺️

".. a true 2 inch receiver is 2 1/16 inches" - that's interesting!!!

We are home and remeasured our Oliver rear-bumper hitch that will not allow the 1UP 2” bike rack to be inserted. It seems that the 2” Oliver hitch receiver is literally a hair’s width too snug. @Jason Foster, here are photos of our hitch and receiver. @Zodd, @MAX Burner and @bugeyedriver, the anti-wobble bolt was not tightened, and the plain ole square end of the 1UP shank would not even begin to enter the receiver. It looked like it should, but was a teensy tiny bit too snug to allow entry.@rich.dev and @Mountainman198, it is, in fact, a 2” Oliver receiver. Perhaps it was a special request by the original owner?? So, with all that being said, do we dare file down the inside of the Oliver receiver… or the outside of the 1UP shank? By the way, the 1UP shank fits fine in our tow vehicle’s 2” receiver. Suggestions, please.🙏 Barb

I greatly appreciate hearing your opinion, @Steve Morris; especially since my husband and I are ignorant about such things. I'm going to follow your advice and copy what you did. I'm going to the McMaster-Carr website right now. Thank you so much.☺️ Barb

Perfect, @Steve Morris. I appreciate those specifics. The only place I can think of to get a thin, tough plastic pad is the one that came with and is under our Anderson leveler. I'd better leave that one alone! Where did you get yours? Barb

@Steve Morris, I've read and reread your posts on the aforementioned previous thread, as well as this one, and that Reece receiver seems like the way we need to go! You mentioned using 1/2" stainless fasteners designed for "high pressure applications". If we go to our local Home Depot, what do we look for to identify fasteners specific to high pressure applications? Barb

@TimD , @ZLarryb and others who have added the receiver on the original post: how have you liked using it, and has it held up well?
