That's why I am here to learn more about Oliver Trailers. I will be posting a few, asking some q1uestions about options and see other peoples opinions. We took a look at an Elite 2 at a Ollie owners house last Sunday. We were very impressed with the quality and first class fittings. Also the leveling jacks are something I have wished for. May be a little small but I have been there before. We are on our 6th trailer, one 5th wheel and the others travel trailers. They ranged in size from 17 feet to our current 34 foot toy hauler. We are about two years from retirement and may want to down size. The big 34 footer is a lot for a middle aged guy to handle. Also I am kinda tired of the mass produced junk. I don't mind too much about fixing a few things, but when they try to kill you with defects, poor manufacturing and poor engineering, well one of my life goals is to make it to retirement.

Here is a great guide to gelcoat repair. It is not hard to do, it is a little tricky to do correctly so that it looks OK. I've done boats before, but never a trailer.

I balanced after having the rubber stems replaced with metal stems and with the TPMS sensors mounted. I checked them this afternoon (leaving for Quartzsite in the morning) and there was no sign of abnormal wear and no wear difference between the four tires. 2 years and 22K miles. My trailer started out as a 2015 so has the BF Goodrich tires. My plan is to replace them in about 3 years. I’m sure they will have plenty of tread left. No plans to rotate. I do rotate the tires on my Ram and Audi S3 on a regular basis. Mike

While I do not tow with an F-150, I had the same problem with my Audi Q7. Internet research says that, yes, it is is the LED lights not pulling enough current, and that this is common with European cars. I am surprised that it came up on an F-150, especially suddenly. My solution was a CURT 57003 7-Way RV Blade LED Electrical Adapter. It solved my Trailer Lights Disconnected error message. I later found a smaller version, the Tow Ready 20142 7-Way Flat Pin to 7-Flat Adapter.
