Our Values

Short version - my OGT Expo has met and exceeded my expectations. Long version . . . I ordered my OGT Expo 2.0 in March 2020 right before COVID shifted everyone's plans and created supply chain and production disruption in every industry. I had been contemplating a trailer for a long time, lurking around YouTube and Facebook evaluating all the options. The Expo fit the bill for me to tow behind my LandCruiser and a Chevy ZR2. I have four kids, so we don't travel light, and a wife that tolerates my hobbies, but likes the creature comforts, so the configuration of the Expo worked for our situation. The dimensions fit for working down the narrow forest roads and trails of the southeastern US, the ability to get my young ones in the sleeping compartment and my wife and I in the roof top tent, having a furnace, shower, and fridge all in one package meant my prep and packing time before our trips have been reduced, and the quality of build for a longer term lower total cost of ownership was important to me. The ordering process was smooth and easy. COVID disruptions hit and created some delays in the production timeline and experience, but I work in operations, and was living this same thing in my business, so I understood the challenges. I had the trailer delivered to my house, and that was a good experience. We've used our trailer everywhere from state parks, to camping along Forest Service roads along the Georgia Traverse and Kentucky Adventure Trail, to a friend's farm field. It tows and tracks well on and off road, it's easy to maneuver backwards (I am not the most skilled at backing up a trailer), and both my vehicles have had no issues pulling it fully loaded. I got the RTT, 270 awning, shower walls, and awning walls, and boot bag for the RTT. We've used everything so far to keep us out of the rain, break up the wind, and offer privacy. We also got the TV - which we have had good use for streaming using remote wifi from my truck. The shower is a really nice touch with the on demand hot water, and we've just now gotten into "winter" use in the southeast US, but the furnace has been awesome. The lighting on the inside of the sleeping area is excellent and so is the angle and illumination of the external lighting over the doors. I like the new door configuration on the 2020's, they are nice and tall, but I have spent some time adjusting the latches so they close and open easily. That was a bit frustrating with how stiff/finicky they were, but the OGT team was quick with communication and I eventually got them dialed in. My modifications so far that I could see being integrated into future designs/options: I added LED lighting in the stove/sink area and in the front and rear storage areas - it's tough to see in those areas and work in them at night without additional lighting. I added a marine underlayer pad to the mattress to lift it slightly off the sleeping compartment deck. While opening and closing the doors in wet conditions, the sheet on the mattress would absorb water. This additional lift has helped with reducing that problem. I added a canvas overlanding style trash bag to the spare tire up front. I cut down a stall mat from Tractor Supply to line the storage rack on top of the front box. This adds a little traction for when I am standing on top of the trailer (which I have do as part of my RTT deployment/packing up) and the pad adds some protection for when I throw fire wood up there. I like the flexible shelving configuration in the rear storage area. I have pulled most of the shelves out and I am using storage boxes to keep stuff contained. I also lined those rear shelves with tool box matting to prevent some items from shifting while driving. The trailer gets attention wherever it goes because it looks badass, so be prepared to talk about it when you are out and about.
