Mike and Carol

Ralph, I tried replacing the sleeve on that hitch back in 2017 and couldn’t get it out. I contacted Andersen and they sent me a new assembly in exchange for the old one. The linked thread below is from a 2016 thread on the Andersen where I described trying to get he sleeve out. In those days Andersen was on this forum and answered questions.

My brake issue was resolved after I posted my issue on this forum and another owner offered that he had the same issue and what he did to solve the problem. It turns out that it was a Dexter issue of excess wire wear due to how they ran/configured the brake wires. Several other owners have also had this issue. It will be interesting to see what your mobile tech finds out.

Agree. There should be some explanation/announcement/heads up from Oliver.

Oliver was quick to reimburse any warranty repairs at a local RV repair shop. I’m assuming that would continue if the dealers are going away. We had a couple of warranty things repaired locally years ago and Oliver sent us a check to cover the repairs. I’m always looking for an excuse to go to Tennessee, one of our favorite places to camp and visit. Mike

I know Princess Craft was an Oliver dealer, just checked their website and no Olivers. Not good. Mike

Here’s a thread addressing this issue with pictures. If this is your problem it’s pretty straightforward to fix. Good luck. Mike Brake Disconnect Thread

Hey Ray, I had an issue with my brakes intermittently disconnecting. There is a set of brake wires that go through the rear axle that had worn to the point where bare wire was contacting the metal axle. Several other owners have had the same issue. The wires were pulled out and replaced and are now zip tied to the outside of the axle. Problem solved. It’s a bit unusual that your trailer is not high mileage for this to be the cause but it is worth checking. I’ll see if I can dig up some of the old posts on this issue. Mike

Another vote for Meriwether. We had a great stay there and the host is wonderful.

There’s a shopping center down on the north side of San Antonio we go to sometimes, there’s a Best Buy there. Earlier this summer I was there for something one morning and I saw an Oliver parked in the lot. I parked near it. I did my business and came out and there was a couple coming out of the trailer. I approached and introduced myself adding that I had owned an Oliver since 2016. He looked at me and said “nice to meet you” and then walked off towards Best Buy. Didn’t give his name. No handshake. His wife (I presume) said he had run over his cell phone while leaving their campsite and they stopped at Best Buy to get a replacement. She then left quickly to catch up to him. I understand they might have been stressed out, but they were not even cordial much less friendly. I wrote it off to him being upset that he had crushed an expensive electronic gadget and I went home. Don’t know who they were, I didn’t look at their trailer for graphics or anything, I was just a little surprised at the experience.

Aren’t there a number of different dual axle configurations with varying distances between the two wheels? It might not be profitable to try make chocks to fit all the different situations. Maybe some kind of adjustable chock? Not sure what that would look like. Mike

Welcome and congrats on your “new” Oliver! Feel free to ask anything as you learn the ins/outs of your trailer. Mike

No crowds!

That is a fine looking group of Oliver campers! Is this the start of a NM/AZ rally?

We’ve also been using Zero-G for years. Both at home and while camping.
