An Oliver Travel Trailer is unique to the rest of the RV Industry. They have a completely different way of building an RV from the supplies to the type of build. The Molded Fiberglass RV is one that stands out and usually lasts a long time. I took a factory tour to see what their build process was like and what makes them different and why they stand out besides the outside appearance.

We are fortunate enough to own an Oliver LE II and I have got to say, we absolutely love it. The build quality is exceptional, and the ease of setting up and taking down is crazy fast. The wet bath is definitely not an issue for us. We use the optional shower curtain and the bathroom stays nice and dry when we need it. The solar panels and 4 agms supply all of our energy needs……minus A/C in mid summer. It tows like a dream with my jeep gladiator, we would not trade our Ollie for any other camper.

Full timing depends on your goals. All full timers must learn to downsize to some degree or another. What do you want to do? Go from overpriced rv park to another? You can get a bigger rv as long as you understand that some parks (particularly older ones) have limits on length and a few don’t allow slides because the older rv spaces were made before slides were a thing. If you want to get out and go to remote places (I am not talking about goat paths LOL) a smaller, lighter well built unit is far more advantageous. I know some people that full time in a teardrop! For me this is the Goldilocks zone. If your full timing do you have to think about what you really need and where to put it no matter what size rig you get. Do you have to think a little more out of the box when full timing in a smaller Rv as opposed to say a 40 ft 5th wheel, but you can get creative with storage in your truck bed that you wouldn’t have available to you in a 5th wheel. You learn not to pick up those little chotski’s at every festival you go to, besides those end up in a box and you never see them again anyway. The up side is you can go many places you can’t with a 5th wheel. Me? I’ve ordered one, when this COVID mess has subsided I want to drive to Alaska, find a stream off the beaten path and pan for cold for a few weeks. Then travel around the state and head back with little fear from the cold that might happen from time to time. It’s not possible to go down some logging roads to get to some out of the way stream with a big 5th wheel. It’s all in what is your dream? How best to follow it with the least amount of worry.

That and all the hot water and heater lines are in that air gap make for a very efficient rig.

Slide outs are NOT the end all be all. It is not a matter of IF a slide out will leak water, but a matter of WHEN. plus may trailers with slide outs if you stop at a rest stop or some other over night location you can’t put the slide out it’s almost impossible to get to the bathroom or bed because of the slide being in the way. They also add lots of weight, complexity and get out of alignment and can jam open or closed. Been there done that I am done with slide outs.

I’m very impressed with the Oliver Travel Trailers Quality! But the single axle Legacy Elite is just a bit to heavy to my Vehicle’s max tow capacity, which is 4500. I’m not in a position to trade in my vehicle for something with a higher tow capacity. I wish I could! But I believe with all my research that the Oliver fiberglass Travel Trailer is # 1 on the market.

I have worked 24 years as an RV service tech in Alaska so I have seen plenty that can go wrong with the traditional build of trailers. The environment here is very unforgiving to poor quality. This design and build looks really good. The frame build is really critical to the longevity of the trailer and being built and designed specifically for the unit should really improve the overall quality and strength. Properly cared for the fiberglass exterior design should help prevent the major problem a lot of builds have with leaking seams. Putty tape seals and roof membranes only last so long and when they age they will leak.

The only thing missing is a compressor fridge. I'd also love to see them ditch the propane, and go with a diesel heater, (either radiant, or a furnace) and a diesel cooktop. Without the two big propane tanks on the tongue, there's room for plenty of diesel fuel. It's safer, more efficient, and eliminates the condensation you get with a propane furnace.

All of those are 2-piece fiberglass construction...a top and bottom piece. Oliver is 4-piece---a double hull on both the top and bottom . Not only that, on the inside hull, the fiberglass "furniture" is part of the molded hull itself, not screwed or riveted to the walls afterwards. Olivers are remarkably well-built, with an equally remarkable price.

Slides are for camping in luxury RV parks. Olivers do just fine in RV parks as well. Pull a big camper with slides up into the mountains and you will wish you didn't have them, if you can even get there. RV slides are best for two things, breaking down and leaking water.

I recently toured the The Legacy Elite II at a campground and I was totally impressed with the build quality and ease of use due to superior engineering. My largest detractor is the wet bath, so for $75k, I would have liked a more functional kitchen (larger sink, fridge and a oven as well as a full bath. I'm guessing the extra 6" width would add weight and cost. Still gets my thumbs up!

I'm am picking up my new Ollie in a month. I do agree with you that I would have loved to have had a dry bath....but the trade off would have been a larger trailer. I also agree that a larger fridge would have been better...but again, you have have to make the trailer larger (or lose some cabinets...which I wouldn't want). There are a couple of other things I would like to see different, but overall, amazing trailer! My kids are already trying to put dibs on it when my wife and I pass away - and they probably will get it as it will survive longer than I will!

The wet bath is largest by a large margin I have been in and really, it’s not a big deal easy to get used to. As for the refrigerator, think a little out side of the box, there are portable ac/dc fridges out there that can be used as all refrigerator or switched to all freezer or separate in two sections for both, they seam to be very efficient as well. Also, I have a home freeze dryer, I freeze dry my own food, I make freeze dried eggs and milk for example, can take far more than any full size Refrigerator Freezer could hold along with steaks, bacon, fruit, you name it and none of it needs refrigeration, I just need hot water and it tastes great.makes storage of food much easier and in most cases cheaper if I am somewhere remote like Alaska!

I don’t mean to dump on those units but, it is in a different class than those units. Why? Because A) no wood on the interior to rot or fall apart B) the double hull design is far superior, unlike the Casita and Bigfoot for example, this is why it is a true 4 season trailer. All the electrical, plumbing, tanks etc are between the hulls in the insulated airspace. This means they are not exposed on the bottom of the trailer to the elements. If you look under an Oliver you will see the frame and suspension along with the underside of the outer fiberglass shell. Nothing else. Nothing to freeze, nothing to hit a rock or debris on the road. When you are in one you quickly realize that other than the appliances, there is nothing that will wear out, nothing that water will damage (water is the number 1 killer of RV’s) this trailer is made to last literally for generations. Plus there made in such low quantity that they will unlike most every Rv out there (other than this crazy time we are in now) keep or even increase in value due to that amazing quality. Casita is a good starter trailer, (if you like Christmas tree flocking on your walls and ceiling) this is your dream lifetime trailer.

You are right about the construction principals and the durability. As far as value goes, most used Olivers sold by the original owner goes for very near the original purchase price. They are a very good value compared to the rest of the RV industry.

They have access panels under the beds, dinette and in the upper cabinets, that can easily access every system in seconds, this trailers so well thought out, when I went on the tour, saw them in person, I was amazed having owned MANY RV’s in the past from teardrop to Class A and everything between I know so many of the potential issues you can have in an RV. I didn’t see one nail or staple gun in the building. I was so impressed I ordered one on the spot.

I often hear people say, "they might not be for everyone", what does that actually mean, in general? I know that right now, many (if not most) of the other manufacturers are putting out garbage. Most are using frames from a 3rd party and there's lots of frame problems, from total breaks to flexing and even rust out. These Oliver trailers seem to be made with actual high quality. I'm just curious, however, what "not for everyone" means.

I wouldn't wait too long to get one. Unfortunately like everything else, quality RVs are going up in price way too fast. Even the cheap particle board, glue and staple RVs have doubled in price in the last 10 years. The nice thing if you get an Oliver is that it will last for decades and they hold their value better than any other RV on the market.

I went on-line to take a closer look, and my only disappointment is that there is not a Queen Bed Floor Plan, even on the 23 ft model. (At least not what I could find). When upgraded from a Coleman Tent Trailer 6 years ago, there were only a couple of things the trailer HAD to have. The first was a Queen Bed that I didn't have to crawl over someone to get out, and that it was always made up. When I'm on vacation, I like to take afternoon naps. Not having a bed I can just jump into would knock this off my list, when I get my next trailer.

It’s a nice boat. We looked at two Oliver’s and it was very much like our Mainship 40 Trawler So we were in the not for us column. Now I’m not saying anything about the quality. Sure it is a well made trailer. It was loud inside while talking. It was confined like our Airstream International that we are trying to get away from. I felt suffocated and like in a sanitarium with the white everywhere. At least our Airstream has beautiful cabinets that I bang my noggin on constantly. It was just a boat to us. Again not banging on Oliver just they made a trailer we could never buy We did purchase a InTech Terra Oasis and it is the same aluminum frame made in their factory with the awesome tilt forward design Now again not bagging on Oliver other than they should make a bigger boat.

Have you ever sat in a car in the winter, Condensation forms because the human body expels up to 40 ounces of water per day with normal activity. Get two or three people in a closed compartment in cold weather and the walls will be raining if you don't ventilate. This happens in any camper. The solution is to ventilate and the problem is solved. You can also utilize a dehumidifier to help reduced the problem. Any camper that doesn't have condensation problems in cold weather has walls and windows that leak air so much that the condensation escapes before it can build up on surfaces.

Olivers do not have slide-outs (nor do boats and submarines .. and for a good reason), are expensive, and you have to wait a long time between ordering and receiving one. However.. you get what you paid for. You get top quality engineering, top quality components, top quality build, and years of trouble-free pleasure. You also get back most of what you paid for it when the day come you choose to sell it. Oliver trailers have the highest resale value in the industry. Most Oliver trailers never leave the family, but rather are passed down in the family. Now there the product you want to own. I am not an Oliver employee of spokes person; I just appreciate quality when I see it.

Figure out what you want to do with a trailer, narrow your search to a specific size, capability, price point and certain features that are must haves. Do your research and see if there are any that meet all of your needs/wants then narrow from there. I will say, I have had every type of Rv out there just about over the last 35 years and after going on the tour of this plant there has been nothing shy of 150k that comes close to the quality of this trailer. I ordered one on the spot and this will be my last RV I will ever have to purchase. Great for 1 or 2 people even with a dog more than that and it will get tight quick but the vast majority of buyers for this trailer are retired.

I am the perfect candidate for an Oliver Legacy Elite 2. Except, I don't have the disposable income. The three big takeaways from an Oliver are. One, best quality moulded fiberglass travel trailer on the market. An Oliver should last a lifetime. Definitely better than an Airstream. Two, they are priced accordingly. At least twice what I am willing to pay for a relatively small travel trailer. Three, like I said earlier, they are relatively small. Many Americans equate space with luxury. No slides and cramped quarters are a lot to give up at this price point. If my household income tripled. I would head to Tennessee and order one. After about about a year I would actually get delivery. Worth the wait? My wife and I would love to be proud Oliver Legacy Elite 2 owners. Did I forget to say the Oliver is super easy to tow. How much are all those options? Does it come with a DC fridge yet? Thanks.
@bradarmstrong7467
@bradarmstrong7467 3 жыл бұрын
The fridge is a three way but I agree, I would prefer a compressor style ac/dc fridge myself. I also agree after taking the tour myself, the quality is second to none. It will last your grandkids life times with reasonable care. Have you seen the price of the junk RV’s out there? I went to the Hershey Rv show and couldn’t believe what was coming out of the mouth of some of those sales people! This is right for me, I ordered one last week after a tour, they blew me away with the quality.

As for the price, I get it it’s a lot, but we need to remember a couple of things, a lot of thrown together (staples and particle board) rv’s are asking and getting as much or more these days, my buddy bought a 33ft super C in Hershey this last year, it broke down twice within 200 miles leaving the dealer (General RV) requiring a tow and a stay in a motel each time and he’s dealing with the same issue now. His Microwave didn’t work and the promised replacement still haven’t arrived. He didn’t have coach power for the first week he owned it because of a bad jumper cable connection that he had to figure out and fix himself because General RV ignored him and he couldn’t find someone to do the work under warranty and now a lot of trim is falling off and breaking. this was a 250k rig! The other thing is Oliver currently has a 1 year wait after purchase, would they like to sell more? Sure but as it is it’s not like they are unable to find customers at the current prices.

Looks very well made! My only concern would be repairs. For instance in the video all components appear to be mounted to the outside bottom shell. When the inside bottom shell is mounted how many access points are there to main components and wiring? I know things like wiring are going to be buried inside walls and floors in any trailer but getting to a short looks impossible. One side note, looks like this design could be more rodent proof too. I want to buy a TT in the near future and want to make the wisest choice possible.
