Unfortunately the awnings you describe are found on large trailers, Class A Motor Coaches and 5th Wheels. Those have large exposed frames and arms and wouldn't work on an Oliver. So with that said the awning for small trailers aren't designed to be out in winds or rain. They are designed for providing shade. You would be better off getting a stand alone canopy with option for sides, or something like the picture. I think it would be a big mistake to remove your Girard awning. The Girard is a top of the line awning, and resale value would be lost

Chris, spot on with your response. We don't regret getting the regular toilet, but your comments may have given us a different perspective 😊

We enjoyed our stay at Clear Spring, but we like to stay clear of I-30 and I-40. We usually head to Texas down through TN, MS, LA, into Texas, spending some time on the Natchez Trace Parkway.

Dexter pre-wires the brake wires inside the axel. Oliver only connects their wiring to the Dexter wiring.

Spot on Bill. Couldn't have been laid out any clearer.👍

We had a real adventure last night eating at the Boiling Pot.😊

Aransas Bay, Rockport, TX Goose Island State Park, Rockport, TX Top picture sunrise, middle picture Aransas Bay, and bottom picture sunset over the causeway bridge.

So Sorry. Damage was really evident as we traveled through the South.

We saw that through TN, AL, MS, LA, and into TX. One of our usual COE stops was closed because of all the trees down in the campground. It was an eye opener.

Jolli Olli is camped in San Antonio for 4 nights visiting college friends and reliving the early 70's. Highs in the 60's and lows in the high 30's. Thursday headed to 3 stops along the Gulf Coast for 13 days.

This is our 4th stay here. Very nice park and nice view.

Lake Waco Midway Park (COE), full hook-ups. 81° Thursday. Dropped 20° for the next 2 days and high 30's tonight.

I have used my rear jacks to change a tire and make a slight leveling adjustment. I use the best leveling device made, a 2' level🤣. So when I went to check under the bed panels after taking delivery, I was shocked to find the panels were screwed in place. How anal is that? I was told that an attorney conducting an audit said secure the panels. I pulled them all.

The shorter your jacks, the more stable your trailer will be. We use the round Andersen Jack Stands. The Jack Stands reduce the jack extension by approximately 7"+.

Yes to both. I used one to change a tire. After I level, I have used one rear jack to tweak a side.

We use three round Andersen Jack Stands, to reduce the amount jack deployment. This has also cut back the amount of trailer movement when walking around inside. They also provide protection to the jack of you drive off without raising them.

This time last year I replaced ours with a new one sent to me by Oliver. I used Wago connectors. Inadvertently I must have touched wires. Got done and the CO Detector didn't lite up. We had our service done the next week, and Oliver found that I blew the fuse. They replaced the fuse and all was good. When the bare wires touch, there were sparks, and that apparently blew the fuse.

It got to 30° today🤣, two weeks and we will be rolling South to Texas.

Beat me to it. Unbeliveable

This just doesn't pass the smell test🙃

Lot's of questions. Did Alcan install or did they? Did they tighten things as specified? Not sure on what bases Alcan claims the mistake is the overland couples. Lot's of unanswered questions.

We had 11" of snow. Our street has yet to be plowed. Schools cancelled. Red Level Warning still in affect. Emergency responders, and plows only. Then I have a neighbor who decided not to obey the law. Went out, couldn't get up his driveway. He then backed down the street to get a running, backed up on to the grass and through our mailbox, destroying the pole and damaging the mailbox. Caught on our other neighbors and our security camera. He did come over when I was inspecting damage. He said he would pay, so we will see when the price is $500+ Have to use a certain company to comply with homeowners assoc. for post style and mailbox color requirements.

Nice, 7"+ and counting in Carmel, IN

Keep an eye on the Oliver Trailer for sale site on Facebook.
