@johnwen be careful of rigid connections to things that move or vibrate like at the water pump.

The ones on the 2027's are completely different and should not suffer this same fate.

For those owners that want to follow this story, please do so at https://www.facebook.com/groups/OllieOwners/permalink/2252240891847686/ I don't want to see this thread turn into "War and Peace" like the Alcan one did.

These windows on the 2026 models are the ones that only open 3" at the bottom. The 90 degree windows are only on the 2027 models and should not be affected as the design is completely different from the ones on the 2026 models.

I found this posted by Jessica Taylor on the FB page. She does not seem to be a member here on the forum. It's not good news but it bears repeating for all the anti-FB owners. "Second camping trip since getting hull 1701 back to Alaska in May and one of our windows shattered while pulling into our campsite. Looks like the opening arms broke and may have come out of the slider bar at bottom of window and hit the glass causing it to shatter. The glass is broken, the arms are broken, and the sliding bar is on the road to the campsite never to be found again. We noticed on our trip home to Alaska and on our next camping trip that the windows work themselves loose as you drive, because of this event if you have a 2026 you may want to check window tightness often throughout your travels! Has anyone else had a window break on their 2026 Oliver? It’s the weekend so will call service Monday, but am curious if anyone else has had this happen. Have been 100% happy with our new camper except the windows. Bill is going to look at the window on the street side bed in a bit because it looks like that one’s arms are out of the slide as well and may be broken. Not happy with these windows at all. Not to mention the fact that I pray this tape doesn’t ruin the paint. Oliver Travel Trailers we will call Monday and I’m sure this will all get cleared up Adding again, all of the windows in the Oliver are broken this way except the bathroom window. We will have to tape all of the windows closed and possibly tape all of the arms down to the frame to get home without further glass shattering because the glass bounces freely and the arms move about freely. The arms seem to act as a shatter point when they poke the glass just right. I have just placed a service ticket on their website as suggested. I will also keep gaffers tape on hand from here on out as suggested. 2026 owners, be very careful when traveling. I’m not sure that constantly tightening your windows throughout your travels would have solved this. The arms are clearly not built to handle this job as evidenced by all of them breaking on a brand new camper." https://www.facebook.com/groups/OllieOwners/permalink/2252240891847686/

You wonder about our "fellow Ollie owners" yet your profile states you don't own a travel trailer. What gives?

It's true. The Dexter axles supplied to Oliver are D52's that are derated to 3500 pounds because they are supplied with the same ole 4 leaf spring pack as always. I.E. the ones that fail. I believe you are correct that the axle itself is the same in both. Did your D52 axles come with 12-inch brake drums?

Meh...

Last time I checked, taking the Oliver on the ferry added over $10K. Plus your dogs have to stay inside the trailer and you can't. Other than all that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?

They are using a Dometic FreshJet A/C.

Oliver is adamant about maintaining their 7000 pound GVWR. The 4 leaf spring pack is now the weakest link and achieves their goal.

The way I understood it, the inverter all the 12 volt stuff was built into the battery itself. Like a giant Jackery.

There is no "integrated generator" as such that comes with the trailer. Jason is referring to an owner supplied generator that has been modified so as to be able to be integrated into the control system of their new EcoFlow control panel. Everything in the coach can be controlled from the touch screen as I understand it.

Truma did not do any work. All the work was preformed by Oliver guys. And they were able to have one fixed and up and running in under 30 minutes.

The 960 watt Girard awning is $8224.15, but that is a 5% saving over its MRSP of $8657.00. I'd get two just to have enough.
