    Hey Mike & Carol,

     

    Sorry to hear of your troubles getting everything straightened out on your Oliver.  Happy that it all worked out in the end.

     

    Thank you for posting this information. We are set for a June 2nd delivery and have special graphics in the works as well.  Did Oliver give you an explanation of why the graphic was not put on your trailer?  Who, at Oliver, did you work with on the graphics?  I will try to get in front of this by contacting them beforehand to make sure they are put on.

     

    Another question...    Where can i see the photos's of your trailer?

     

    Hope all is well and you are back home safe and sound.  Best of Luck on the Oliver!

    Dale,

    You might want to read this article on both the elite legacy 2 and the Tacoma.

    Also, the best advice I ever saw on a forum regarding towing capacity was....

    Download the owners manual for the truck you are going to tow with and get the information about capacity from there.

    All manuals are available on line.

    If you are considering the Tacoma, i would download the manual for that truck and read the section on towing very carefully, including all that small fine print that footnotes always seem to come in.

     

    We are expecting delivery on an F-150 to pull the legacy elite 2. In the manual it says "Do not exceed trailer weight of 5,000 lbs. when towing with bumper only" This is one of the reasons we are getting the Anderson WDH.

    Anderson' s website has a lot of good info on this hitch and the Oliver site has a picture on the Options page. They can sell and install it.

     

    Best of Luck

    Thanks Again Sherry,

    Here is a link to the inspiration for our avatar:

    we shot this video last Thanksgiving on Bonaire. The Trailer will sport the Turtle Logo as well.

    Will post pics when we pick up.

     

    Bill,

    No.. the trailer will be "The Flying Sea Turtle".

    If it was the Great Scot we would have an avatar of an old geezer in a skirt playing the bagpipes! :-)

    Thanks for the tip on the Brevard area. We do want to make a stop there on the way through.

     

    It's gonna be a long 9 weeks.

    Hello Everyone!

    We are Gregg & Donna Scott, soon to be new Ollie owners. We are picking up our Legacy Elite 2 in June and then will be heading over the mountains to the Charlotte area to visit with friends before we point north along the Blue Ridge Parkway for home.

    We would like to publicly thank Tom & Sarah Stubbs for their hospitality when we visited to see their Legacy Elite 2. They sealed the deal on the Oliver and gave us more than a few ideas on what we should order for ours.

    One word of advice we have to pass along concerns the stripe primary and secondary colors. If you are trying to match a particular color, like your tow vehicle, you can ask local sign shops if they have an Oracal 651 color book. Our local Fastsign location had one on the counter and it was a quick job to make sure we got the color match we wanted.

    Will post again when we pick up. Until then... "Happy Trails"!
