New to us Octane T26Y

We just picked up a 2011 Octane T26Y late in the fall. Been working on getting it "ours" when the weather allows and it's not too cold to warm up. Added an antenna for the XM radio, Max air covers, insulation around the generator to quit it down a bit, LED lights are on the list as well as a pair of 6v batteries for boon docking. Love the floor plan and can't wait till it warms up to get over to our favourite spots in Mi. to do some camping and riding.
We can fit all four of our machines in it (two quads and two three wheelers) with no problem and still have access to the rest of the camper.
It's going to be a big difference over our old camper (03 Trail Cruiser C19) as far as size and weight but I'm pretty sure the old Dodge can handle it.

Ross..

Welcome. Like you I had to make mine, mine. Took out the dinette in favor of a recliner and made a coffee table with a lift top for a dining table at the couch. It's a bit cool in Florida now so I wish the previous owner had ordered the enclosed underbelly. Guess I'll fix that when I go back north.

Congrats! I just picked up a 273 super lite. I couldnt fit in the shower in the regular Octane 26. The neo-angle shower was alot roomier. But lots to like about the 26. You cant get a built-in genny in the SL sieries, so I have a eu3000is on the tongue. Quite a different floor plan too. Good luck with it. Heres my bikes crammed in.
