TOWING & SETUP
Now that you have these weights recorded, check to see if you can safely pull your Oliver
with your tow vehicle. The GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight) of the trailer must not exceed
7,000 lbs. Your tongue weight should be between 9-15% of that weight. If these weights
are within regulation, then feel free to enjoy the open road!

TRAVEL SUGGESTIONS
It is a good idea to empty the holding tanks before leaving on a trip, and as often as
possible when traveling, to help keep weight within acceptable limits. A gallon of water
weighs about eight pounds, and a full tank weighs about 260 pounds. Try to carry only as
much water as you will use when traveling.
All items stored inside and outside the Oliver should be secure, as well as all doors and
drawers.
DO NOT add any rack or frame to the Oliver frame or chassis. The alteration may result
in unstable handling, be a safety hazard, could damage the Oliver Trailer, and void your
warranties. In any case, the Oliver warranty will be affected.
• Once you become familiar with loading your trailer, how to distribute the weight, and
which items you carry, make a list and diagram you can use for future reference.
• Plan your loading and storage so that emergency items are easily accessed.
• Place heavier or breakable items on the travel trailer floor and lowest storage
compartments for better load stability.
• Make sure these items are well packed and secured to prevent movement.
• Take extra care not to overload the front and rear ends of the trailer. Place any light
items in the upper cabinets.
• Make sure to use packing material around breakable items such as plates and glasses
in the cupboards if you will be towing over rough roads or terrain.
• It is a good idea to use non-skid materials under heavier items to help prevent shifting.
• Most new trailer owners tend to carry more supplies than they need.
• It is important to remember that each item added brings extra weight to tow and
distribute.
