Please excuse the slight diversion from the OP thread topic. It appears ROA is not selling them anymore as evidenced by their website. They are, however, continuing to support it well. My wife doesn't like the military appearance of the Conqueror and the neighbors jokingly refer to it as an...

I was hoping to shed some light on your rear latch issue since our Conqueror has the same construction and hardware to the rear pop-out. Our issue with our UEV-14 was the two clasps that hold the roof section down would not hold on their own when we picked it up a year ago. They eventually...

@LaBlaze do you have a pic of what you mean?

First off, I want to thank @LaBlaze for his long post. I look forward to seeing future updates as they travel! I recently experienced our lithium battery bank (5 x 105 Ah Lion LiFePo) not accepting a charge in near freezing temps. I have since installed a DIY battery warming system. I...

Is the trailer company called OBI (Outback Innovations, IIRC), the distributor in AZ, or both? When I bought our Conqueror UEV-14 from ROA, they said it came from the same AZ warehouse, but I'm not sure if it was called OBI. I also had to source the main door lock mechanism which appears to be...

@tjtx Thanks for the post! Went to Big Bend practically every Spring Break as a kid in the 70's/80's. Reminds me to get back there with our Conqueror!

Just a word of a caution. We towed our '23 Conqueror UEV-14 (USA) with our '06 Tacoma 4WD for the first 9 months of owning our trailer. Conqueror is also imported by OBI and the UEV-14 is similar in size and weight to the Dweller 13. On and off road, the Tacoma pulled the Conqueror great and...

BTW, is there no manual override on these awnings? When our's first would not go in and a strong wind was expected, I looked in the manual for an override, but there doesn't appear to be one.

Just found out it is for inserting into the the end of your awning to adjust it's stops, both in and out. It's basically a hex wrench. On a recent camp trip, our awning stopped going in all the way. I disassembled the whole right-hand side end cap assembly before reading the manual, then put...

With the front water tank full and bikes mounted to the tongue of our Conqueror UEV-14 (USA), I need to get more rise out of the 2" hitch on the '14 F-150 Ecoboost FX4 with stock suspension. The trailer's wet weight is about 5,000 lbs. I measured about 6-8" of rise needed. Can I get by with a...

We don't own an OBI (we opted for their import cousin the Conqueror). In reading every page of this thread, there are those that would purchase an OBI 15 now that the prices have come way down on them, and they would make the upgrades you already mentioned, plus maybe a few more. If you are...

Thanks for all the replies. Doesn't sound like it would be worth the cost (and risk). We are towing with a 2014 Ford F-150 FX4 Ecoboost. I cleaned the throttle body and MAP sensors and went from 10 to 11 mpg!

Do we charge in the USA for our CA friends to disperse camp on FS/BLM land? If so, IMO, both countries should stop this in the spirit of reciprocity.

I posted this in the Conqueror 2023 UEV-14 thread but think it belongs in its own thread. Tires! Tires! Tires! With the super beefy stock tires on our Conqueror UEV-14, my wife and I are wondering if swapping them out for something off-road capable but lighter with less aggressive tread would...

Tires! Tires! Tires! With the super beefy stock tires, my wife and I are wondering if swapping them out for something off-road capable but lighter with less aggressive tread would improve gas mileage. We are thinking of taking a 6,000 mile road trip with lots of asphalt and only some FS/BLM...

I respectfully disagree with this statement. Our UEV-14 anniversary will be the first week in January. We've had a few issues with our trailer that ROA tech support has been good at supporting. I don't shy away from DIY but it's also nice to have their tech support to check in on when needed...

Gaia newbie here with Premium. I could not find this layer name on my iPhone. Any chance it has a different name? Thanks!

I installed a system in our previous A-frame trailer similar to what you currently describe. When it came time to buy our Conqueror UEV-14 (same distributor for the Dwellers and also available at ROA), I paid then to upgrade the battery bank to 525 Ah of LIPo. The main reason for this was to...

Awesome campsite in the Redwoods! You've got to love the free HF bucket for the sink drain. HF should have teamed up with OBI/Conqueror at time of sale! "Here are your keys and your free HF bucket."

A word of caution on the Tacoma in case it helps someone else. We have the Conqueror UEV-14 which is in the same ballpark weight-wise as it's cousin the Dweller 13. I was sure our '06 Tacoma had the factory tow package and therefore thought it was rated for 6,000+ towing capacity. Going over...
