EricG Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 Hi everyone, I have been considering an Elite II for a little while and would like to buy slightly used, but I have never actually seen one in person. Is registering on the website the best way to do that? I hate for someone to go through a lot of trouble cleaning, especially since I am not looking at buying new. I just don’t want to drive several hours to buy a used Ollie if I’ve never even been in one. For what it’s worth, I live in San Antonio, TX. I will also be posting a question in the towing section regarding my current TV. Thanks in advance for any advice/information provided.

Moderators Mike and Carol Posted May 10, 2023 Moderators Share Posted May 10, 2023 Hi Eric, there are several Elite II’s in the SATX area. We are in Fair Oaks Ranch near Boerne. Our trailer is in the driveway prepping to leave for the rally next week. If you want to come up and see it, shoot me a PM. Ours is 7 years old, so most of the components/applicances are now different but the feel of seeing the outside and hanging out inside is exactly the same. Maybe someone with a newer trailer in the area will chime in. Mike 1 Texas Hill Country | 2016 Elite II #135 | 2020 Ram 2500 6.7L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost choked on my happy hour wine, laughing. 🤣🤣🤣 So, maybe your Brat looks like this? See Mike and Carol's trailer. Many questions will be answered, and then you can join in the fun, asking more here. Lots of folks with answers, and happy to help and share.
