    On my trailer there is a threaded connection at the water pump. I undo it and blow the air through from there.

    Mission Overland Approach

    I'm interested too, but I'm not convinced the juice will be worth the squeeze. I enjoy the outdoor shower on the Summit and am fine with no indoor toilet (black water, maintenance headaches). For my family of 3, I'm not sure we get much more enjoyment from it, just extra weight and size. I'm...

    Hi, I'm in Alberta. I bought my Summit directly from Mark when their manufacturing facility was a couple hours away in Lacombe.

    Congrats! I upgraded my system with 2 x 100w high efficiency Renogy solar panels to my roof, paired with a 200ah lithium battery and a Renogy Rover solar controller. My battery level has never gone below 80% ever since. That includes the odd trip where I was using the stereo system for several...

    My Summit didn't come with an inverter. There's no AC at all. Everything is DC except when plugged into shore power, there's a WFCO converter to charge the battery and run the DC appliances. Perhaps the dealer added the inverter you saw after the fact? Or are you referring to the OGT? Let us...

    I wish I only had to sleep two! Having the ability to stand inside and create a sitting area would be way better if I didn't need the bunks in the Summit. I totally understand your conundrum. I was literally hours away from placing a deposit on an OGT Pando 2.0 when I stumbled on Mission...

    I removed and spliced the hose directly after the water pump. Cut out the length taken up by the meter and re-installed the hose. It took some thread adapters for NPT, but other than that it was easy-peasy. The read-out goes under the sink when travelling and when we set up, it comes out and...

    -The Summit bed is elevated which is made possible by the rear entry. Because of the elevated bed, the Summit has much more storage than the Offgrid Trailers. -If you are considering the Pando, the approach angle is better on the Summit. - If you want sleeping space for more than two, the...

    I ordered mine with the roof rack option. It's super burly and could easily handle 4 eBikes. The downside is loading and unloading them from that height.

    Thanks Mike. I measured my shower volume using the spritz, soap, rinse technique and I used less than 5L of water. I believe I can significantly improve shower satisfaction by having a 10L shower. I tried a slightly longer shower, but I ran out of hot water. It makes sense now that you say...

    Prior to installing the water meter, we were hesitant to take a real shower. We were basically spritzing ourselves. Now that I have an idea how much water I use, I'm ready to have a real shower. Truma Water heater questions: What is the best way to manage the hot water tank? Do you leave it...

    Just an update to my Topargee water meter. We used it for the first time on a 4 day camp. I tested it during three sanitization cycles before we left. Parked on my slanted driveway, I was able to fill and drain about 110L (29g) of water as measured by the meter. I did this twice and got...

    Off Grid Trailers

    I hear you. I tow a Mission Overland in a Crew Cab F150 with upgraded leafs. The Mission Overland is almost identical in weight to the OGT's. I was surprised with my dirt bikes loaded, even my truck needed some airbags to tow without squatting. And, I only have a family of 3 and am a total...

    I was close to buying an OGT and it seemed like a simple inquiry to me. I thought it was the representatives job to inform their potential customers? I guess you're not allowed to ask a simple question anymore.

    Ya you bet. It doesn't seem like I can attach files here. If you private message me an email address, I will send them to you. Unless, someone here knows how to upload files to the forum? Edit: I'm an idiot. The button to attach files is right in front of my face!

    More upgrades this week. I added a Renogy battery monitor inside the cabin. I wanted the monitor integrated into the switch panel, so I drafted and 3D printed a custom plate. The project ended up more expensive than I was anticipating because, when cutting a bigger hole in the cabinet, I burned...

    Great idea. I just looked and that hole for the license plate light runs right into the switch panel compartment. Perfect. So, on my open switches, I'm missing the inline fuses that are attached to the live switches. Do you think they are necessary? Also, I'm am a total moron when it comes to...
