Making Progress!
As we're starting to get busy prepping for our departure from Colorado to pickup our trailer, ETI is making real progress on their end! We have orientation on Wednesday, July 19 in the morning. We'll leave Denver on Sunday morning, July 16 and make overnights at Billings, MT, Spokane, WA and Chilliwack. We plan on a quick side trip after departing Spokane to go see the Grand Coulee Dam on the way to Chilliwack.

I believe that ETI produces the trailers in batches of like-sized models, not in order of orientation date.

Thank you Cathy.
Vicky had a tough time with the floor choice and has been having second thoughts that she picked the right one. I think once she sees it in the finished trailer she will be very happy with it.

I can't believe it; we got more photos today. I think that's 3 days in a row. Work is sure progressing rapidly.

We will carry a Honda 2000i on the front over the propane tanks. I need the light to shine down into the tank when I refill it at night. As suggested by ETI, the light will have an inside switch. Our back light is also high with an inside switch, because we carry bicycles.

I havent read this whole thread... but Richard be sure to measure your tongue weight with and without the generator there.
It is my understanding you want the tongue weight to be between 10% and 12% of your total loaded weight of the trailer.
I am sure smarter than me folks will chime in...

Just hope that it looks okay on such a new unit and it does not cause towing issues being so high.

Is this what you are getting?
Universal Over-tank Utility Platform
It and the short version have the same dimensions except height.
We thought about it but could not figure a way to move it far enough back with the storage box installed to clear the jack. Maybe the 21 has a bit more room . The 19 does not.
A local Casita owner has one so I could take measurements.
It's a nice unit, just will not work for me.
