Keep your tongue raised slightly. We have the Dometic AC and had this happen. The trailer was dead level. I raised the tongue and the issue went away immediately. I also checked the two condensate after our trip and they were open.

3.5 months which is usually late October-early November until mid February departure for our annual Texas trip. This year we now have June 10, 2026 until September 23, 2026. This is due in part to 90°+ temps in the Midwest and a later fall trip up to the UP and the North shore of Lake Superior. Currently trailer is in storage and I'm leaving the trailer unplugged for 3-4 weeks to exercise the batteries and to see how long it takes to drop to 40-50%

I'm installing a 2-5/16" Bulldog on Thursday. My B & W Stow and Go has both a 2" and 2-5/16" ball. Plan is to inspect the 2" Bulldog, and if it looks good, I will paint it gray and keep it as a back-up.

B & W stow and go, 2" and 2-5/16". I just got a new Bulldog 2-5/16" that I will be installing this week. I don't think I will ever know whether I didn't have the ball fully captured, or whether this was the perfect storm, bad bridge joint and new Alcan 5-leaf springs. That new hitch is interesting. What is the cost of the Shocker Hitch?

They do the job on our trailer.

Congrats from Hull #1045, Jolli Olli. Happy Camping.

That's Awesome

We have a daily interior clean-up. Amazing the amount of dog hair that comes out of the vacuum. We have 3 small shower rugs that I take out and brush off. Shake out Fiona's bed sheet, and also brush off the L.L. Bean waterproof mat at the door. 5-8 minutes out of our day. The heater exhaust vent is the first thing my wife vacuums. She does the interior cleaning. Once a year I wipe down the inside fiberglass and use the wax mix TopGun shared with the group.

New Will Prowse YouTube Video is out. I can't get it loaded. Here is the YouTube post page.

Nope, and these tires are on a list of "China Bomb Tires", thinner sidewalls, tread delamination, and blowouts

Apparently, Oliver has now switched to the Chinese Tires. This has been confirmed by a reliable source.🙃

Brand new trailer picked up last week, but don't know it was a Dealer or Hoenwald.

Brand new owner discovered Chinese made tires on his new trailer. Castle Rock Tires. Oliver has stated they are installing Goodyear Endurance 15", 10-ply "E" Rated tires. So how does a Chinese tire end up on a brand new Oliver trailer? Chinese tires have resulted in hundreds of blowouts on stick built trailers where everything is cheap. This is strange. I told him he needed to reach out to Oliver asap.

The journey has been fun😊

We have a fairly steep driveway, and the front is way up to get the trailer level. It works fine. I ordered a new foot plate from Barker.
