Thank you all for your ideas and suggestions! I'm with Trainman 100%. We're getting the truck soon to get comfortable with it, we will definitely be practicing towing well before the pick up date, and we'll take it slow. Safety first! I like the suggestions about the Uhaul, seeking instruction at local RV dealers and AAA, and using cones to mark out areas. We will look into all of these. Backofbeyond, I'll be sending you a PM about coming out to your farm for practice! Hopefully with all that, well know enough to make it to an RV school on our way home from Hohenwald! Thanks again!

We may have gotten ourselves in an expensive pickle. We will be picking up our Elite II in late October, but have problem......we've never towed anything. I'm nervous about pulling it and can't imagine how we are going to back it into a campsite at DCSP! We enjoy camping and definitely want the Elite II. I've watched many videos about backing up a trailer so I have the idea of what to do, and we will be practicing with friends' lawnmower-carrying trailers, but we need hands-on, one-to-one instruction. Does anyone know of a good travel trailer instructor in NC (we live in Greensboro) or TN as close to Hohenwald (we would go there directly upon leaving Holenwald). Thanks.

For cost reasons, I want to buy a used Oliver. My primary concern, though, is the lack of the lifetime warranty. I have read where stress fractures have been a problem on the early Ollies. Should I be concerned about these? Would this keep you from buying an older Ollie? I'd love to hear your thoughts on buying an older (2014-2016), used Ollie. Specifically, how important/needed is the lifetime warranty, and at what price point would you consider buying used? Thanks!
