The night before we left to pick up 483, OTT called and said they discovered water in the trailer and were still going over it to locate the source. That pushed us back to a late afternoon pick up. The factory said they could not duplicate the water issue (a small amount was found on the counter by refrigerator). They suspect it was condensation rather than a leak. We appreciate their telling us about it and trying to locate the problem. We had a pretty heavy rain at Crockett SP and had no issue with water.
Towing, even for this first timer, was pretty easy. Just took it slow and watched the turns. Backing the trailer into the camp space was a bit different. We got to the site at dinner time and provided entertainment to people eating as they got to watch me take about 15 minutes and 4 attempts to back into the space. But, we got it in there and all was good.
We checked and used many of the trailer components and they all worked as advertised. The AC is loud. Emptied the grey tank at about 75% since we were unsure of how accurate reading is.
As I mentioned, a storm with pretty heavy rain came through and we were glad to see we seemed to have stayed dry.
We had one minor issue and that was the cap on the toilet (compost) vent pipe that was broken and needed to be replaced. Called the service department about 2pm on Friday. They offered to send someone to the campground to do the repair, but said they would prefer us bringing the trailer to them. Although they were closing at 4, they agreed to wait on us to get it there, which took these newbies a bit longer than it should have. The cap was a quick fix and the service rep said whoever placed it on simply over tightened the screw and cracked the cap. Everyone we dealt with at Oliver was very friendly and professional, from the orientation to this follow up repair.
We met some very nice fellow Ollie owners, as there were 4 other new trailers during our stay. We really enjoyed this short trip and are looking forward to a longer one in mid July.
