Kevin and Theresa Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 We were going through Oklahoma City yesterday afternoon on our way to our Factory tour and spotted this Ollie! Waved like a crazy person. If you are here...Hello!! 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators topgun2 Posted May 9, 2021 Moderators Share Posted May 9, 2021 Good eye and nice seeing one on the road to see more. Obviously from Colorado and reasonably "decked out", but, are those "back-up lights hanging off the air conditioner?

Looks like they’re towing with a Honda Ridgeline, so that’s probably a jet pack mounted to the roof to help get them up the mountains. 😝 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overland Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 All in good fun. But an interesting choice for a mountain dweller - I’d love to read a review from someone who’s towed with one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John E Davies Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Yes it is the shorty, the placement of the rear view mirror in the picture messes up that “instant recognition” the tandem axles give you for the LE2. The bigger trailer has that window sized area of gelcoat between the left two EQUAL SIZED main windows. It is so weird that we are even discussing this…. Phone pictures can fool you. I think we get used to the perspective distortion you get from the typical phone fisheye lens. It can be really hard to judge sizes.

Overland Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Good eye. I thought it was a II as well. I guess the other two clues are a single side light and the vents in the basement door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators topgun2 Posted May 13, 2021 Moderators Share Posted May 13, 2021 I'd GUESS its a support for a flag pole. 2023 Ford F150 Lariat 3.5EB FX4 Max Towing, Max Payload, 2016 Oliver Elite II - Hull #117 "Twist" Near Asheville, NC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pure guess, judging from the position and the bike rack, it is an anchor point for a handlebar. I haven’t ever carried a bike there but always wondered about that issue…. OTH I have considered putting a tall cell antenna mast there with a stainless ratchet mount, maybe that is the purpose and it isn’t quite finished yet…. But a flagpole support certainly sounds valid.
