Christina from TX here; so great to see how you've organized your Oliver for full time living!!
I belive the new fridge type has a (much) smaller freezer; don't know if there's an option to get the older type that has a larger freezer.
We just got back from a week of camping in Oshkosh and the fridge held everything we needed (the dog stayed home!).
We also got the Tooletries idea from Kathy Adams and agree that they are fantastic!!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful tiny home and we're so happy you are enjoying your Oliver!!
@@flygtjej748 Hello Christina! It’s great to hear from you! We had an absolute blast on our 14-months of full-timing in Piccolino. So many miles and so much fun. The fridge did fine for our normal day-to-day, but the tiny freezer didn’t work for Stormy’s raw food. It was easy enough to toss a portable freezer in the truck and we continued on our adventures. We’re glad to hear you’re still enjoying your Oliver adventures!
Great tour! I love the Tooletries, I did a video about them last year on my CZcams channel on how I use them in our Oliver, they really do stick great to the fiberglass! I have a lot of organization videos for the Oliver including our new closet shelving my husband built, so much more closet space. The outside courtesy lights are definitely bright! We made the mistake of turning them all on one night when we first got our Oliver to see how they looked, we ended up with thousands of little bug inside when we open the door, that was the first and last time we turn those on!
I’ve really enjoyed your videos especially the trip to Alaska, spectacular! Of course the star of all your videos is Stormy, so cute and what a great traveler/camper he is!
The Oliver is such a great camper, we went from an Airstream to an Oliver as well, zero regrets!
Wishing you many more wonderful adventures and thank you for sharing your journey.
Thank you, Kathy! We learned that same lesson a few days after delivery in a little campground in Arkansas. Of course it was right before going to bed so instead of sleeping we spent the next couple hours smushing/zapping mosquitoes 🦟 😩. We now use them sparingly.
Thank you for all your organization videos. We certainly took some of your suggestions, as you may have gathered from watching the tour 😉. The only thing better than knowledge is shared knowledge.
Traded in our airstream for an Oliver Elite 2 in 2022. We have travled over 50000km with ours since we took delivery and absolutly love this Trailer! We pull it with a 3/4 Ram with a Gofast Camper for off road adventures and storage of our gear. Cheers from Canada.
A fellow recovering Airstreamer 😆. That sounds like a great rig! We just upgraded to a 1-ton and thinking a light slide-in or the Alu-Cabin, once they release the one for the F-350, would pair nicely with the Ollie. Cheers!
Great tour! Olivers seem great for those who do a lot of traveling. Definitely looks more aerodynamic and easier to tow than your airstream.
Thank you! It tows like a dream. We’ve noticed we don’t mind doing longer drive days thanks to the reduced stress. It also takes less time to hitch up since we don’t need a weight distribution hitch.
We just ordered ours. Delivery in December. I'll probably come back to this video to grab some of your ideas. Thanks for sharing.
Congratulations and thanks for watching!
Thanks for the tour. We have a 21 model and so far love it. Your shoe storage solution is just what we where looking for. Thanks for some great ideas and your Alaska travel series.
Thanks for watching. They have been working great to keep the shoes out of the entrance. We hope our videos inspire future adventures for folks that watch them.
Looks awesome you guys!! Can't wait to see you down the road. ❤
Thank you! Once we’re home, you’ll have a parking spot back in ME. Hope to see you back at the lake! 😉
I love Stormy! Thank you for the informative video! 👍🏻
Thank you for watching!
Interesting video. Great utilization of space. Love Olivers!!!
Thanks for watching! It’s small, but with some creativity, we’ve been full time in our Oliver for 13 months now.
Nice review.. Thank You.. Capt Keith… Venice Louisiana ..
Thanks for watching and we appreciate the comment.
🥰 spotted the dish towel
👍 it’s one of our favorites and Stormy’s #1 favorite! Thank you 🥰
Another great video! Thanks for sharing Hull #634 😊
Thank you for the kind words and thanks for commenting!
Don’t know if I would have given up the airstream for this small trailer. I guessed the minimalist lifestyle is good for you. Good luck. 👍
Thank you! It’s certainly not for everyone 😉.
Amazing organization tips for RVs & small spaces. You should put affiliate links for those amazing finds in the description! I’m from Canada so I usually can’t use those but people might because doing the research to find things takes a lot of time. Great video!
Thank you. Unfortunately, we are not affiliates or ambassadors for any of the products in our video. We started looking into it with Amazon, but found it was not an easy proposition as we are not professional content creators. We’re still looking into it and will try to at least put a few links in the description for the things we got online.
We created a public list that should make finding some of these items a bit easier. We do NOT earn any commissions for any purchases. www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/12UFW95FNYX1S?ref_=wl_share
I've been searching RV's for many years. So many of them are built like crap with terrible customer service. This one seems to be built very well from I what i have read from peoples comments. Awesome video and happy travels to you guys!
Thank you. We found the same thing. Quality and service through the large, corporate manufacturers, can be pretty poor. This was a large part of what drew us to the Oliver and we have been very pleased with the service and quality. Glad to hear you enjoyed the video.
Sounds like you are pleased with your Oliver purchase. I think the very few fiberglass units are very good!! I have a Casita for 4 years with no issues! I wish I could afford a Oliver. The Casita is great for our kind of camping! Not RVing at resorts etc .
Thanks for commenting. We are very pleased with our Oliver and have enjoyed putting it through the paces over the last 11 months and 12,000+ miles.
Excellent tour of an Oliver that’s actually in active use and full of gear for 2 + a dog! And I really appreciate that your tour is chock full of great tips! As an Airstream owner it’s interesting to learn from the comments that so many Oliver owners are actually Airstream converts.
Here’s a tip I picked up from our AS forum that relates to folks who keep a king bed permanently set up (as is often the case in AS Basecamps like ours): try using a queen sized mattress instead. The gap along the two edges of the queen mattress on a king platform can be used for stashing packing cubes of clothing, bedside “table” items, etc. We haven’t tried this in our Basecamp yet, but it makes a lot of sense to me. If we wind up with an Oliver, this may be a good solution for us, given that it appears interior storage in the Oliver isn’t particularly copious.
One question, please: did I understand there is an external stowage on the other side of the Oliver as well? I believe “Mr. Hard Alee” mentioned there is room for two more big translucent plastic storage bins (like the one he showed) on the opposite side, i.e. external bays for stashing gear both to port and starboard. Thanks!
That’s a great hack! Between the tooletries and a rope basket on Kelly’s side, it suffices, but more storage is always better 😉. We keep it a king strictly for comfort. We were pretty cramped in the queen in our AS since the prince (Stormy) is spoiled and sleeps with us 😆. For those that would be comfortable with a queen, yours is a terrific idea. We have two large storage bins under the street side of the bed, which gives us some needed additional storage. You just have to keep them narrow enough to not restrict airflow to/from the furnace.
There is an outdoor storage access to the “garage”, as we call it. We have two larger (wish I could remember the sizes) and two smaller bins in that area plus a yoga mat and a couple sets of resistance bands, so not palatial, but definitely some extra space for things you don’t need access to daily or use outside. We put snorkeling gear and wetsuits in one, bags of dog food in the other and the small ones hold some spare parts and dehydrated coconut coir for our composting toilet.
@@HardAleeAdventures Thanks so much for the additional details about how and where you stow your gear. Good to know. One thing I’d miss in switching from a Basecamp to an Oliver is the back door, which gives us access to gear stored under our (permanently set up) bed from both ends. But if those bins under your bed are accessible by sliding them out into unobstructed floor space, as they seem to be, that’s not too bad. Might be good to keep an “aft bin line” laid out at the ready (perhaps clipped to the aft end of the forward bin) to help haul the aft bin forward when you need it. (A “tug” job for Stormy?) Thanks again.
@@HardAleeAdventures Ah, yes! Room for Stormy. Didn’t think about that. Sweet!
@@earth2wendy using some cordage for the second one is a great idea! Ours are plastic drawer-type bins, so not ideal for the back one, but makes the front one extremely easy to access. The pull on the handle of the second drawer would definitely make things easier, and fun for Stormy.
We actually looked at the Basecamp 20X on our shortlist when we were downsizing, but decided to go with the Oliver. The rear door is definitely a nice feature.
This is only my second video of yours to view, so maybe the answer is somewhere else, but I am curious if you considered the twin beds at all?
Thanks for watching the two you have 😉. We considered twins for about a second. I’m 6’3” (Jason), and when I tried one out (thank you Christina), it felt uncomfortable for my height. We also prefer sleeping in the same bed, so converting the standard into a king is far more comfortable for us.
Ok. I get the height part. I am 6’, so maybe not an issue. I get the same bed thing as well. I actually liked the queen bed we used to have. too much room on the king sometimes. 😂. I asked because i see a good portion of these being sold as twins. i guess because of the walking space between. thanks for responding. I plan to go to Part Time in a few months in my current job and will start my searches of what we want to do then.
@@grumpychoi there are definitely more sold as twins, and most are not full-timers. The benefit to the twin is definitely the walkway between beds and ability to use them as kind of a couch for lounging. The benefit of the king is the space in the bed for two large humans and (now) two dogs and it allows us to use half the space under the bed (the walkway in the twin) for storage. One of our biggest complaints with Oliver is poor storage, so every opportunity to find more storage space is important to us. Part-timers don’t feel that pain as acutely since they have a home base to store their seasonal gear/clothing. We carry four seasons of clothing and gear everywhere. I think new owners will find solutions for whichever floor plan they choose. One thing some new Oliver friends mentioned that we hadn’t realized that modifying from standard (king bed) configuration to twins was simple, albeit at a cost. This gives some additional flexibility.
This is the trailer we want! Our ONLY two complaints are the refrigerator and the microwave. We are concerned that the size for the refrigerator is just too small and if they would delete the microwave from its current location and make a taller refrigerator, we would be able to eliminate that concern. We would rather have a regular microwave in one of the cabinets in the kitchen area. Obviously, Oliver won't be able to do anything like that for us. Sooooo with all that ranting, how do you guys get along with the size of the refrigerator ( if you did not have the extra portable frig and freezer) and for how does it work out without the extra portables? Is the frig inside just too small? We realize we have the back of our truck and the back seats of our Super Duty crew cab for extra "stuff" but as brand new to all this, we worry we are going to miss something important.
Thanks for your questions. The fridge & microwave were an adjustment, but doable. The microwave is also an electric convection oven, so the only oven in the Oliver. Although it wasn’t used often, it was nice to have the option when plugged in and it did get some infrequent use. The fridge is small and can be challenging to fit enough food in for a week, but it can be done. It takes more cautious meal planning, but you can get used to it. Initially, one of our portable freezers was unused and the other was just for Stormy’s frozen food. Eventually, we had an epiphany and plugged it in and secured it under the dinette. That gave us plenty of extra room (mostly for the fish I was catching). All this is to say it is doable as is, with some possible changes in eating habits (e.g., we got fewer greens more frequently and went from fresh pasta to dry) and more planning. Because we feed our dogs frozen food, we couldn’t have done without the extra portable and both were only used when I’d filled them with fish. The fridge is certainly small and the freezer is almost nonexistent, but one can make do. Pretty much everywhere we traveled, we could just shop a bit more often. When that wasn’t an option, we stocked up on non-perishables and even went as far as to eat some canned veggies. Unless you’re a gourmet chef not willing to occasionally make-do, the fridge is manageable for a couple to (usually) eat (pretty) well. We hope this helps.
@@HardAleeAdventures Thanks for the response! Big help and there is nothing better than a first handers experiences in any RV. We have seen plenty of sales walk throughs but they and all fluff. Nice to see one lived in and modified to live even better. The refrigerator is going to be something we just have to take a chance on, I guess. Taking your advice on adapting will have to do. I am used to 8cf of frig space sooo... yeah, I have to adapt. My wife and I still have not seen one in person so that is the next step. Half the fun ins shopping so we are going to have fun with this. Thanks for taking the time to write back, few ever do. Happy trails!
@@BrianAz we’re happy to help with any information you need. Being able to reply to the comments is what makes opening our videos to the public more fun. Stormy was a big factor in needing the portable fridge/freezer, which fits perfectly under the dinette or with in the back seat of the truck. He eats frozen, raw food, so the minuscule freezer space (think a tray of is cubes and maybe a pint or two of your favorite ice cream) wasn’t going to work. I didn’t turn on the second freezer until filling up the first with fish in Alaska. Were it not for Stormy, we could have gotten by with just the Oliver fridge by shopping more often and only having what we needed for the upcoming week…but, having some extra space for frozen goods in “Stormy’s freezer” was a bonus. Have fun shopping, get your camper, have adventures and figure out the rest along the way. Cheers!
Not sure if you have ever given your opinion on which is your favorite Air stream or Oliver or pros and cons of Oliver vs. Airstream. If you have you can direct me to that video. Thank you for the tour, I enjoyed it.
If you read some of the replies to comments from the “Farewell to our Airstream…” video, we’ve provided our opinions and rationale for our switch to Oliver. We hope these help.
this is an awesome camper. I was told that their $ 60,000 +
They are extremely well built and expensive. I believe the smaller trailer started in the mid $60k area and the tandem axle started at $73,500 for 2023. They are now selling through a handful of dealers across the country and I’m unsure what the current base prices are. A quick search showed a couple available 2024 tandem axle versions (Legacy Elite II) in the $95,000-$106,000 range. Basically, they are trailers with a quality that, in my opinion and having owned both, exceeds Airstream at a slightly more reasonable price-point.
Great tour! I have used Magna cookware in several different rigs. I was shocked to discover they don’t work on my induction cooktop.
Thank you! Not sure if you still have them, but my understanding is they’ll work with an induction interface disk. It’ll just take a bit longer to heat up. Hope that helps.
Magma makes a couple lines of induction cookware sets.
@@A_Bunch_of_Savages they certainly do. For those of us that still have the originals, using an induction disk saves the cost of replacing our current set. Back in the “old days,” they didn’t even have nonstick 😆.
@@HardAleeAdventures I prefer cheaper nonstick pans, as they quickly become disposable once the coating becomes scratched and chipped. At Magma prices, I wouldn’t want to have to replace them. I could see a Magma full stainless induction set working well with one cheap non stick skillet - if storage allowed. Otherwise you can just learn how to prevent some of the sticking (preheating) with stainless, and cleanup with Barkeeper’s Friend once in a while. That set will last forever.
Your content is really valuable - especially when you walk viewers through your decision making logic. Thanks so much for doing this.
@@A_Bunch_of_Savages thanks for watching! Yes, the Magma nesting cookware comes at a cost. We’ve now had ours (the solid stainless version) for around 13 years and still work great. Barkeeps friend is great and we typically deglaze as the final step with a lot of meals we use them for. We also have a single ceramic coated nonstick pan for eggs and such. We tend to replace those every couple years, but the stainless Magma just keeps going and going.
I like it very much. I am new to your channel. I like to hear about how much more you like the Oliver compared to the Airstream. Thanks I just heard the height is a great point.
Thank you. We like to think of them as two different tools for slightly different jobs. We loved our Airstreams, but they just aren’t good four-season campers and we wanted smaller. We find the Oliver is the better tool for what we wanted to do, but the Airstream was far more comfortable when stuck inside. All depends on your personal needs and how you plan to use them. It is, however, very nice to not worry about cabinets loosening up or doors/drawers opening when going down bumpy roads. It’s the little things 😉.
Great video. Lots of good tips. Could you add a link to the adapter you used to run the starlink into the trailer. Thanks!
Thank you and absolutely! I used this - www.amazon.com/CERRXIAN-Femle-Female-Waterproof-Connector/dp/B07D49D4FF but you could use any weatherproof RJ45 adapter. There are better ones out there. Basically, I cut the Starlink cable with the router end long enough to reach the desired location in the trailer. Then put a male CAT 6B plug on each end, installed the weatherproof adapter to the rig where there had been a coax for satellite TV, and plug it in as needed. It’s been working flawlessly since March.
Nice Oliver and a very entertaining video. Looking for a TV mount like yours. Can you share a link please?
Thank you for your inquiry. The TV mount came standard in the Oliver, so not sure the exact model, but it looks a lot like this one on Amazon www.amazon.com/Mount-Monitor-Overhead-Compatible-Adjustable/dp/B00CO753UY/ref=asc_df_B00CO753UY/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=216526779832&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=17855032429278925758&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9030746&hvtargid=pla-348964633889&psc=1&mcid=a771c014cf883851b3e85c5564f21d2e&gclid=Cj0KCQiAyKurBhD5ARIsALamXaFFjxIxm8WnZISLyZTF-FND6O-DDB5oFcqfhQmnjZQzPsvjw5gErbIaAlYREALw_wcB
Thank you for sharing the tour of your Piccolino! We appreciate the storage tips and ideas. Any links or names of the storage items would be great, if not an inconvenience! Thank you!
Thanks for watching! Are there any in particular that you’re curious about? I shared the link for the shoe holders in another comment. Unfortunately we didn’t qualify for an Amazon storefront to easily be able to share links to products but if you have specific items you’re curious about I can try to find links for you.
@HardAleeAdventures thank you. There were so many that we like but especially the outdoor refrigerator and freezer.
Just another comment to say that both you and Kathy Adams have so many great ideas and so much information on how to equip your Olivers! You are both great!
@@michelejelneck6339 this is the link for the freezer and battery. We also got a spare battery and a 90 watt portable solar panel through the same folks. I believe they’re offering a 10% off coupon now, but they often have sales and you may find 30% off if you get a package (e.g., fridge, battery, and solar panel).
@@michelejelneck6339 thank you! She is awesome and we found some of the items we’re using through her.
Great video. Wondering about mouse intrusion, are they sealed up tight? Any issues with mice? I have pop outs on my 5er and boondock frequently, it seems to be the norm after a few days in one spot lol.
Great question. We had the same problem with our Airstream. I’m happy to say that after 9 months and over 11,000 miles, we’ve been rodent-free! There are no gaps or holes they can crawl into, so keeps out the pests. The worst intruders we’ve had were a few ladybugs that crawled under the sweep on the sliding window screens. I’ll take them over mice or chipmunks any day of the week.
Great question and helpful answer! Our Airstream Basecamp has definitely had its mouse problems. We tried everything-screening over the refrigerator vents, stuffing/covering the frame tubing with metal at the open ends, lots of traps, etc., and still had mice. In the end it took adding layers of Gorilla tape to fill in the wide gaps between the outer plastic wheel well trim and the plastic wheel well lining to seal them out (but for how long??). It’s annoying when a high-end rig is so porous to mice. We’re considering an Oliver, so here I am, and this excellent tour along with your answer on the topic of mice are really helpful to that process. Thanks!
@@earth2wendy we went through much of the same even resorting to scrunched up aluminum foil when we were remotely infested at one point. We’re very happy to be free of that issue. We’re happy to hear you’ve found this information helpful.
I really like the construction of an Oliver Trailer but for me to considerate buying one it would need to be a few feet longer and include a dry bath.
It is such a Catch 22. The nimbleness of the Oliver is great for so many reasons; but, admittedly, a dry bath and a bit more room would be nice at times. Everything comes with trade-offs, but this works for us…for now.
Hello from Australia 😊 just wondering what the cupboard door fronts up top are made from? Is it Perspex? I have a vintage Olympic debonair fibreglass caravan which is rather similar to your Oliver but mine is 1968 made 😅 love your van
Thanks for your comment. I’m not sure the brand of cupboard doors, but it certainly seems to be acrylic sheet. They work great with the lift and turn latches. Nothing has ever opened in about 12,000 miles including our Alaska adventure.
@@HardAleeAdventures Hi there! I really appreciate your reply. Enjoy your adventures!
@@Pipsinstitches thank you! Enjoy yours as well. We’d love to caravan out in Australia someday. Seems like diverse and beautiful country. Cheers 🍻!
@@HardAleeAdventures Hi, that would be lovely. I’m sure you would very much enjoy it. Diverse and beautiful, absolutely 💯! Take care, safe travels. I’ll be following you 🙂
I am curious what you think for the Mattress, is it comfortable? How expensive is the kit?
With the Froli Zona system, stock cushions and a 4” foam topper it is very comfortable. The Froli Zona can also be adjusted for stiffness in key areas. The Froli system was just under $700 and the foam topper was around $100. It was well worth upgrading for full-timer comfort and no worries about condensation under the cushions since the Froli system elevates it off the fiberglass.
I would like the stove burners to be side by side instead of one behind the other. I love to cook and this stove configuration would be a deal-breaker for me. Can you get the Oliver with a casette toilet instead of composting?
The stove configuration certainly took a bit of getting use to, but we’re making it work. Putting them side-by-side would further reduce the already small prep area. Going small cones with compromises, but worth it to us.
A cassette toilet is not an option. Either a standard toilet or a composting toilet. We prefer the composter over the black tank. A cassette could likely be retrofitted if one was so inclined. From years of compost toilet use between this camper and our boat, we wouldn’t dream of going to a cassette instead. With the two of us, the urine has to be emptied pretty much daily, which is pretty benign and can discreetly be done in any bathroom or pit privy. Since there’s no diverter in a cassette, it can get pretty malodorous and isn’t easy to be discreet with due to the size of the cassette. Having used all varieties in boats and RVs, our preference continues to be composting toilets for boondocking. If you camp solely in RV parks, the standard toilet and black tank is likely the best choice since it doesn’t require as frequent emptying. Solely our opinion and preference. Some might prefer a few Wag Bags laying about 😉.
On the topic of “separator” toilets, there’s a new option that’s working well for us called a Trelino. It’s self-contained so can never leak even if the urine bottle is overfilled, is much cheaper than a Nature’s Head or Airhead and doesn’t stir the solid matter, so doesn’t have a stirring mechanism which in turn requires lifting a big bin outdoors to empty it. Instead, liquids divert to a bottle in the front part of the box and solids drop to a lined waste can in the back. So it’s easy to just lift out the bag containing solid waste and toss it in the trash. If you’re boondocking you can layer solid waste with sawdust to stretch the number of days before needing to find a trash receptacle. Unlike a Nature’s Head, the lid has a rubber gasket to seal any potential odors inside. We’ve tended to just toss our “solids” bag daily, so no worries. If you really want to, tho, you can retrofit the box with a fan, but it isn’t pre-designed for one. The Trelino is an attractive, free-standing box that comes in three heights and can also be used as a seat. Once we saw it, it was a no-brainer for us-no wiring! No bulky waste bin to empty! We pulled the marine head from our Airstream and had replaced it with an under-$400 Trelino within days. And boy, do we like it. We like that we can leave it inside while we shower, or set it outdoors, thus reclaiming a fair amount of floor space over the original shower set-up with its built-in flush toilet. It also means we don’t have to deal with black water dumps and can save our precious water for other uses. Something for folks to consider as they weigh flush vs. cassette vs. stirring composter vs. simple bucket vs. no toilet at all!
@@earth2wendy thank you for such an informative comment. I’d never heard of those, but definitely worth looking into for when we’re heading out with just the rooftop tent. Sounds like it could easily go in the bed of the truck and pull it out where/when you need it. Thank you!
@@HardAleeAdventures You bet:) Trelino sounds like a perfect match for that use! I enjoyed watching a number of your videos last night. They’re very well done. Great pacing, perfectly curated musical background, pleasant to watch and always informative. Best luck with your channel and smooth sailing!
About that stove configuration, the raised glass top serves to protect the bed from spatters too. About counter space, one Oliver owner said they had Oliver attach a matching fold-down counter extension to the right end for added prep space. Seems that should be an offered option if not already standard-?
I've watched both videos, and didn't heard why you sold the AS.
Thanks for watching. In our earlier “Fireside Chat” we addressed some of the reasons. We’ve also gone into greater detail in responses to comments in the “Farewell…” video.
I have the same trash can-- But I NEED those shoe holders. Do you have a link?
They are called “Yocice Wall Mounted Shoes Rack” on Amazon. I’ll try to add link here but not sure it will work. Yocice Wall Mounted Shoes Rack 4Pack with Sticky Hanging Strips, Plastic Shoes Holder Storage Organizer,Door Shoe Hangers (SM03-White-4) a.co/d/0MRVmWF
@@HardAleeAdventuresgreat! Your link worked and I ordered them 👍
@@StevesRoadTripChronicles glad we could help!
How would you compile this after owning both an, a stream and Oliver?
I would say the Airstream is more iconic and sexier with its shiny skin and in all other ways the Oliver is a higher quality, better built trailer. Neither are perfect, but the Oliver was better suited for the adventures we wanted to take it on. We lived full time for about a year on each. When parked in moderate climates for long durations, the Airstream was more comfortable thanks to it being larger. For long distance travels with shorter (under a week) stops in harsher climates, the Oliver was better thanks to its diminutive size and superior insulation.
Very nice unit, just WAY too small for me. Safe travels.
Thank you. Yup. It’s pretty small, but works for us and our travel style.
Why did you sell your airstream?
That’s a great question. It wasn’t just one thing, so took some longer responses to answer this in the past. If you read some of the comments from this video- czcams.com/video/-7Lfs9BwnfQ/video.htmlsi=Q3EGG6sgUvCTvhVn - we provided lots of information as to why the change. We also previously did a fireside chat further back (czcams.com/video/okb5C59SOwk/video.htmlsi=VNpfi6wQ0oL_sYY9) that shares some of our thoughts. Hope these resources help.
Seems Awful Small For The Money You Have To Spend, Not Sure That Would Work For Us
It not only seems small, it is small. While it works for us, it certainly isn’t for everyone. It’s terrific that we have so many options at so many price points allowing folks to have their own RV adventures in whatever rig works for them.
