New owners with a YouTube channel

[Ollie-Haus]

Just discovered a couple that are new Oliver owners that just switched from Airstream. And they have a Youtube channel they will documenting/sharing their Olliey adventures through.

Of course this just adds to our anticipation after watching. Don't know if they are on the forum but felt it would be nice to share their story here.

We watched this a few nights ago and could relate to their transition although our Airstream sold last July and we had to wait until March to pick up our Oliver.  They went from an Airstream Classic (huge amount of room and storage) but a very long trailer.

We noticed they had the Hensley hitch - people swear by that hitch for anti-sway but it is so heavy and so expensive.  We went with the Blue Ox setup and, honestly, I don’t think we even needed that.

It worked good for weight distribution but I never had any sway issues with the F-250.

I like the simple setup I have now. Drop it on the ball and go!

Thanks for the share — shouldn’t you be heading to TN soon?? 😉

Under three weeks now. Counting down and doing everything I can to be prepared.

We had a Hensley on our first trailer. Fantastic hitch. Solid as a rock in any towing situation, including emergency maneuvers. Hitching up took some practice, though. Got rid of it when we bought a fifth wheel.
