Drove to Reno and picked up my Ocelot Tuesday.
Here are a few Quick shots. Heading out to the San Rafael Swell Friday for a shakedown trip. More pix next week.
The floor space is huge! I'm 5'9' and can stretch my legs out as far as I can sitting on the couch and can't come close to the galley cabinet. I really like the narrow profile it has on the truck. Went with cable jacks to save weight and keep the camper narrow.
Truck squatted 4" (!) at the rear bumper. Glad I did the airbags. Would have been a rough 530 mile back to Salt Lake without them.
Weight is 780#. Marty wasn't sure, but said he thought Jeff calculated that as wet weight. Seems a bit optamistic, but either way its better than I expected.
Marty and the guys were a pleasure to work with. They really, really know their stuff.
More details next week.

Also, I'm first with the new uphostery.
Really nice stuff.
A few pics of the larger refer as well. Crowds the door 1/2", maybe 3/4".
Not a problem at all for us. Ask Marty about how tight the fit was.
And the Galley cabinet has Tons of storage space. The bottom one is 12" deep, 56" long and 5" tall at the opening. Top one is 20" or so deep.

Looking good, congratulations!
Love all that floor space and the nice flush fit with the bedrails. Hope you have a great trip to the Swell. Maybe our paths will cross sometime.

Thanks Everyone!
KC:
You and I should do something to facilitate that.
We have alot of short trips planned for this year. Seems we all like the same places.:thumb:

This one. Norcold makes a similar model. Dave used it in the post I mentioned in my other thread. I'd call Marty about it. Specs said it was 1/4 or 1/8 narrower, but some of the specs were, um, inconsistent. And fit was tight. Really tight.
Also, the two shelves in the door are removable. If you want pics of it installed, let me know. Happy to post some.

I'm glad you got one. You won't regret it. You do realize that more pictures are required (I mean requested).
