Hear, hear! I owned a '72 Overlander for awhile, rear-bath model, and while
i didn't do much in the way of renovation or repair (i didn't have to), by
all indications it was built to the same standard of excellence as my
previous A/S - a '65 Globetrotter - and was in every way a cut or two above
any other brand of trailer of any vintage...
