abcsfam Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Hello from Amanda, Brent, Claire, and Sarah. We recently purchased hull #976 and can’t wait to put it to use. This is our first “Travel Trailer” kind of as we also own a Turtleback Expedition we are selling. I consider the Turtleback to be an overlanding trailer and it definitely has a different set of instructions. We have been gleaning tons of information from the forum and Facebook group and really appreciate everyone’s efforts to document their upgrades, ideas, and solutions. We look forward to meeting some of you in our travels. -Brent 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of great info here on mods, do it your self repairs and a community that enjoys helping others with Oliver questions and occasional trouble shooting. Who knows? maybe we’ll see you at next years Rally at Lake Guntersville SP! Happy Travels and Happy Camping!

Matter of fact we are making our maiden voyage in the Ollie tomorrow to Guntersville. I’m looking forward to watching the kiddos play and getting a feel for how we would like to outfit the Ollie. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators topgun2 Posted September 2, 2023 Moderators Share Posted September 2, 2023 Even if you have been to Guntersville before - you will love it. If you have the time (and $) the zipline is a good one. Down at the beach the water is most likely like bath water this time of year - relaxing! Welcome to the Family!

Steve Morris Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Congratulations! Your upgrade is similar to ours, coming from a Hiker 5x8 squaredrop to the LEII. It sure is a startling difference. On your Turtleback travels, I imagine you’ve come across my friend Kevin and his family on Lifestyle Overland. They’ve now moved on to an enclosed adventure trailer with the new baby.

I have spent a lot of time watching their videos. They are great! I haven’t seen their new trailer though. Yes, the transition from a tent is nice! I’m looking forward to spending more time in it. Having all 4 of us in it is tight but the compromise seems well worth it. Of course, we are only 1 night in 😅 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
