Proud to Join the Oliver Family

[Grizz000]

Hello to all! We are the new owners of a 2019 LEII, Hull 514, as of last week! We have owned travel trailers for about 20 years and started seriously looking at fiberglass trailers about 6 months ago. We are looking forward to our first trip in the next few weeks. We plan to do a lot of boon-docking in out-of-the way NFS campgrounds for trout fishing, hiking, etc. and our  large toy hauler was NOT suitable for that. 

Hull 514 did not come with an inverter or any solar, so I am installing Lithium batteries and an inverter over the next few weeks and then will add some solar charging capabilities. I'll probably create a post about that project after I'm done in case it helps others who are in the same boat. I have already enjoyed and gathered great ideas reading about the various approaches others have taken on this forum. We will likely convert  to the Twin layout eventually as well. I also plan to swap out to 30 lb Propane tanks and add my LevelMate Pro this weekend (both from my current camper).

Anyway, just wanted to do a quick intro for this very active and informative group. Glad to be in the family!

Welcome - 

Sure is "interesting" fishing for trout while knowing that there is a bigger predator out there possibly looking for you (Griz?).

Once you get that solar and battery upgrade done - you will be well on your way to getting to some really neat boondocking spots.

Please let us know if you have questions about the "new" Ollie of yours.
