And is here and installed

UPDATE: First time ordering from campsaver.com. Order date: May 2nd Campsaver placed PO with OVS: May 12th Shipping: May 14th. (after I called OVS and they promised to expedite) Over 2 weeks to deliver is somewhat unacceptable to me, but i'll attribute some of that covid. I saved $225 on this...

Also, fyi for those looking for this awning. Campsaver currently has 25% off full priced items with code FLASH25. Takes $225 off the price of this awning.

Just ordered this awning. Looks great. Anyone mount this on a Rhino Rack Pioneer rack? I’m going to mount this on my Jeep JL 4dr. Any tips appreciated. Cheers!!

The Wandering Mammoth. The Jeep is the Wanderer and the Opus camper is the Mammoth

Here's our setup

I’m heading to Arizona for a trip this weekend and plan on putting it to the test, even if only with the magnetic mount. I’ll report back ASAP. Trying to find a good app to measure performance, but doesn’t seem to be much out there.

I did consider that, but assumed a newer product likely has better technology and possibly better coverage. Also found a video on YouTube that did a comparison and found the Reach marginally better..

Just got the WeBoost Drive Reach and am wondering where other Jeep owners are mounting the external antenna. WeBoost recommends the hood, but the new JL’s have an aluminum hood and my hardtop is obviously fiber glass. Suggestions welcome. Thanks in advance.

Finalized the deal at overland East and picked up an in stock unit that looked like it had been sitting in an open lot for quite a while. So doesn’t look pristine but will do because it’s meant to be beat up anyways ;)

i looked at all of these and more. Most of them coming in between $20k and $35k whichI thought were definitely overpriced and didn’t think would hold up long. I even saw used Moby trailers for ~$25k. Then I came across the Opus. Tent top not my first preference but the value for money was...

Exactly the reason I got the OP4. Great for a family with 3 kids and dog + close to the two rating of the JLUR. I looked at a lot of other domestic options and felt they were overpriced for the quality. The Opus is rock solid. We’ll be going on our maiden voyage next weekend and will how it...

I considered this but was told that their geometry correction brackets aren’t great. Going with metal cloak game changer lift instead

Thanks for the great tips folks. You make me think about me next big question- what do we do for personal safety? Critical with 3 young kids and a small dog.

Mike, thanks again and love the specific route tips. Also would have never thought of wiper blades. I’ll PM you my number so we can chat and exchange information and I’ll provide you all the info on Iceland. Cheers.
