Trumpetguy: After you get the generator box installed; can you post some pictures? Thank for the feed back on the Anderson WDH Hitch.

Thanks to everyone about your Oliver pickup and various issues and for the WDH information. I still am planning of getting the Anderson WDH, if nothing else it is just another safety measure.

ScubaRx: Thank you for the information about the Natchez Trace campground. I think we should stay the first night in a campground with full hookups so we can check out the trailer completely. Do you have any first hand information about the Seven Points Campground near Nashville, TN? I think we will be camping there for a couple of nights before heading east.

Trumpetguy: Thank you for the feed back; on delivery you said they shortened the Anderson chains; I assume they just cut off links of the chain. Until everything has been tested for proper operation after installation; I would have just dropped the extra links at the shackle. You never know when you may needs the extra links for another tow vehicle set up. When we were at the Oliver factory last month we stopped by the Fall Hollow Creek Campground. There were a few campers which looked like long term tenants. And I agree with you we were not impressed with the campground. We also rode into the KOA campground; it has a nice location but could use a lot of work on the interior roads and just about everywhere else. We did not ride into the Natchez Trace Campground but it looked a lot nicer from the road than any other campground in the area. Thank you again for the information and hopefully we will run into each other on the road sometime. Safe travels.

Trumpetguy: Thank you very much for the information. Over the years of various travel trailers that we have owned and with each we used a WDH. I have found that it takes some time to properly adjust a WDH to your tow vehicle. The trailer and tow vehicle must be on a level service to obtain correct adjustment. There is no way it can be adjusted on an unlevel surface correctly. When Oliver sets up the Anderson WDH do they have a level surface to make the adjustment necessary for correct towing? Last month we visited the factory and they had a trailer at the sales office ready for pickup. If I remember correctly it was just gravel drive way outside the sales office garage door and it was sloping way from the building. This arrangement is not acceptable to obtain a correct installation. Or do they deliver the trailer at some other location than the sales office with a level surface that will accommodate both the trailer and tow vehicle? Also after you obtain the correct adjustment on your Oliver and tow vehicle; could you remove the Anderson triangle plate from below the trailer ball with the trailer tongue raised with the electric tongue jack (providing slack in the chains)? If you could, did you just leave the chains tension alone and not reduce any tension on them? The Anderson WDH brackets that get mounted on the trailer tongue, I assume they are steel like that comes from the Anderson Factory. Did Oliver drill any holes in the tongue for the set screws that keeps the tongue brackets from creeping during travel? Or did they just crank them into the aluminum tongue as tight as they could get them? Did you have any other issues during pickup? Also where did Oliver arrange for your first night of camping on them? Again thank you for the information. Safe and enjoyable travels.

Who has experience using an Anderson Weight Distribution Hitch that is purchase with the Oliver Legacy Elite II Travel Trailer? I have used Reese and Equal-i-Zer Weight Distribution Hitches for years with other travel trailers. When we ordered the Oliver Legacy Elite II last months we included the Anderson WDH. I have reviewed all of the information that I can locate on the web plus several videos and it appears that the Anderson will do a good job. I am looking for information about hooking up and unhooking of the Oliver from Oliver owners that have used the Anderson. Thanks for everyone’s advice in advance.

We toured the factory on Thursday April 16, 2015; after the tour and numerous questions we placed an order for a 2015 Oliver Legacy Elite II. Our delivery date is in September and I am sure the time will pass very slowly until September.

Thank you very much for taken care of the login issue. Currently we don't own a Oliver Travel Trailer but we have a factory visit scheduled for next month. If we like the Oliver we will go ahead an order an Elite II; so far from all the data we can locate the Oliver Elite II is an excellent trailer. We have been camping for over 40 years with various travel trailers. We just sold a 2008 Casita 17 foot SD, before the Casita we had much larger travel trailers. The Oliver should be a good mix between the Casita and larger trailers.
