  1. When you change your last name to Oliver?๐Ÿ˜
  2. I'm guessing that the difference here in the countertops is that one has Fibergranite and Moonlight's does not have fibergranite. If there is no fibergranite then there is nothing held on by Velcro. Bill
  3. In reverse order - I'm not too surprised with your adjustments on your brake controller. Now that things in this regard have "settled down" it is likely that little (if any) further adjustment will be necessary. I'd still keep a strong eye on that Andersen. I've never experienced ANY "settling in" of the bushings (the red things) and really don't see how these would ever "settle in". The only times when I've experienced one chain being slack is when the TV and the Ollie are not in a straight line. However, even a slight deviation from straight can produce a difference in the tension. When you have the Oliver disconnected, can you move the Andersen hitch ball manually? You can usually test this by either reconnecting the whale tail without the chains or by taking the lug wrench that Oliver provided and placing the end of it into the "pin hole" at the bottom of the hitch ball and rotate the hitch ball from side to side - it should be reasonably smooth during this movement. For what its worth - my procedure with my Andersen is exactly as Mike described above. The only times I mess with the large screws under the trailer is when I'm in a situation where I simply can not back the tow vehicle anywhere near the same angle as it was when I unhitched. Even then, I normally will use the lug wrench to manually adjust the whale tail to the proper alignment versus messing with the chain adjustments. Bill
  4. Stranded - Good - apparently it does take a bit of practice in order to get that spin-weld done correctly. If Service doesn't return your call by tomorrow (assuming that you called them on Monday) then I'd call them again or click on Service at the top of this page and submit a Service request via that route. Bill
  5. Stranded - You might want to contact Oliver Service in regards to that fresh water pickup issue. This is a known issue on these campers that were manufactured prior to a change in the plumbing system and Oliver was "repairing" these "older" units at no cost to the owner. Bill
  6. If those legs are not secured to the ground in some manner there will be NO additional "support" for the awning in the event of any wind. Also, if the legs are NOT secured in the fixtures on the side of the trailer when they are in that position then there will be no additional "support" for the awning in the event of wind. Bill
  7. Please let us know what the results are when YOU test this! ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ™ˆ๐Ÿงป
  8. Good to hear that all is going well for the three of you. I got one of those rocking chairs last year and love it - good choice! Bill
  9. That depends - Apparently since the words "we" and "our" were used it appears as though the intended use will be for a couple. If that is the case then in many situations a rug of 6'x9' would be too small. However, for a person that travels solo most of the time a 6'x9' rug is more than enough and is a bunch easier to handle and store. Bill
  10. In case you want to know: Evolution of the American RV Bill
  11. Since the fibergranite is produced in-house, it would be fairly simple to just keep the "additive materials" applicable to each different color. Then if/when a customer needs a retired color it would be fairly simple to used the appropriate color for that "one off". As I understand it - these materials are dry. Therefore, the shelf life should be reasonable. Bill
  12. Indeed - I forgot about the relatively large kitchen and bath counter tops. Bill
  13. TxT - Yes, actually both Steve and JD are correct here in that once these fiberglass "fibergranite" panels are made they are held into their respective positions via Velcro. However, there is no Velcro used in the construction of these panels. Bill
  14. TxT - You certainly are one lucky fellow. There aren't many Ollie owners that are better equipped to show you one of these trailers. Have a great time! Bill
  15. Anybody besides me looking to get out on to the "Open Road"?
