Oliver Travel Trailer Review: 12 Things I Love

Over the last two weeks, you’ve read a long list of 11 things I hate about my Oliver Travel Trailer in Part I and Part II . But today we move to the positive side. This week in my Oliver Travel Trailer review, I want to share the 12 things I love about my molded fiberglass trailer.

Double-Hulled Molded Fiberglass

As I said in the Pros and Cons of Molded Fiberglass Trailers , I find it strange to simultaneously love and hate certain aspects about the trailer. And this is at the top. You know why I hate the molded fiberglass trailer. But here is what I love. I love the sleek, clean look. I love that people often stare at it as they walk past, ask for tours and ask me questions about it because it looks so different from other RVs they’ve seen before.

In the Oliver’s case, it is double-hulled which means better insulated than other molded fiberglass trailers. It means I can feel confident taking it into more extreme weather conditions. The company calls it the only true four-season molded fiberglass trailer on the market. I’ll be honest. I wouldn’t go that far. I’d call it a solid three-season plus mild winter trailer. But that’s me. I wouldn’t live it in through, say, an Alaska winter.

Heftiness of the Axle and Tires

The 23’6” Oliver Trailer has a double axle while the shorter one (18’5″) has a single axle. Either way, it a hefty thing. Axles, wheels and tires are not something, I’ll admit, I took notice or particularly cared about.

But I have had so many comments and questions about them in campgrounds, I couldn’t help but take notice. It was after multiple comments that I started watching other trailers.

And what I discovered was astounding. Most trailers and fifth-wheels—ones much larger and heavier than mine—have Barbie doll tires. At least that’s what it looks like to me after being used to my big trucker tires. 

Knowing this makes me feel safer. Yes, I know I’ll be complaining when it comes to the cost of replacing them when that day comes but I’ll try to remember to come back and reread this post because the sturdy axle and big tires are definitely something I love about my Oliver.

Holds Value

If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, you’ll know it was hard for me to come to the decision to buy an Oliver. I knew I wanted a fiberglass trailer but at triple the price of a Casita (which I initially thought I’d purchase), it took a long time before I decided the cost was worth the product.

One of the things that helped me in this area was monitoring RV resell websites. Now, because there are so few Olivers on the road compared to other brands of RVs, you don’t see them come up very often. But when they do, they go fast, within a day or two. And almost always for the asking price. Plus, I saw a few that were a year or two old going for practically the same price as new ones. Also, most people were selling not to get a different trailer but to get out of RVing altogether for whatever reason (health issues being the most common).

This gave me comfort and assurance that purchasing an Oliver wouldn’t turn out to be a bad decision. My thinking was that, even if it turned out not to be the right trailer for me, I wouldn’t be losing money on the deal because I could turn around and get most of it back.

I know the popularity coupled with the scarcity makes this true. And with more and more getting on the road (in 2017 when I purchased, Oliver produced 10 trailers per month, the year prior just four per month and now they aim for 15 a month), the scarcity factor may diminish a bit. Still, a quality product that’s built to last combined with the toughness of fiberglass and you can see how and why the high resell value should continue.

Build-Your-Own-Trailer Process

I knew from the start I wanted a decent solar system and battery bank on my trailer. I loved that Oliver offered so many add-ons at the factory. It was incredibly convenient. Can you imagine getting your new trailer, ready and excited to embark on RV life but first you need to go to the solar dealership to have that installed? Next, you need to install your own composting toilet. Then you have to have a custom-made mattress so you aren’t sleeping on 3-inch cushions which, no doubt, are uncomfortable and back-wrenching.

Though I took issue with a few things in this process as described last week, for the most part I loved it and loved all that was offered. It made it so I picked up a ready-to-hit-the-road trailer. For sure, the fact that I could do this was one factor in my decision to go with the Oliver Travel Trailer.

Of the four major “egg” trailers manufactured today, all except the Bigfoot Travel Trailer, are purchased directly from the factory. During the period when I was deciding and buying, the trailers came off the factory floor identical from the one before and the one after. Yes, Casita had four different floor plans but that’s deciding what trailer you want, not customizing your build.

In writing this series, I went back and reviewed the molded fiberglass trailers websites. Now, the Escape Trailers are more of a build process where you choose things you want added to the trailer. That’s new since I did my research in 2016 and a nice option for customers.

Oliver Travel Trailer Review with Customized Graphics and Swoosh Colors

This happens during the build but it is so individualized and awesome that it’s worth its own mention. It’s one thing to add or not add solar, it’s quite another to have Oliver put your logo on the front of your trailer (feature image), your website address on the back and the name of your trailer near the entry door.

Similarly, purple wasn’t on their master list of colors, but they said I could have any color I wanted. Both of these I got for no additional charge.

However, there is one note on this Oliver Travel Trailer review. The customization I got was on my 2017 Oliver. With increased production, the customized graphics are no longer offered. If you want it, they leave the trailer white and you go to another company for that work. They do still let you pick any color combination you want for your swooshes and it comes with the Oliver logo on the front if you go that way.

Hardware and Locks on Closet, Bathroom Cabinet, Pantry and Nightstand

I like the looks of the hardware on the drawers and cabinets, but this isn’t about looks. I’d heard and seen how lots of RVers tie down their drawers and cabinets and, even refrigerator, after learning the hard way that they can open during travel, creating a big mess.

However, in the Oliver, the closet, bathroom cabinet, pantry and the nightstand (for those who opt for the two single beds) have a locking latch. At first, I found it pain because I was locking and unlocking it every time I wanted in. But now, when I’m stationary, I no longer lock it. I just twist it to keep the mechanism closed. Locking is only for travel. And I love them. They are sturdy and secure. Never once have they come loose during travel.

One note, though. Since most of the time they aren’t locked, I have to put “lock cabinets” on my leaving a campground checklist. Otherwise, it’s super easy to forget that step. I have done that one before.

One further note, locks are not on the kitchen drawers which are pretty secure but I bungee to prevent opening on travel days. As well, I run a bungee (actually it’s a dog leash) across the bathroom door.

Sturdy Steps

In campgrounds, you’ll frequently see cinder blocks and blocks of wood under the bottom stair leading into RVs. The reason? The steps are so bouncy and flimsy, people want to create a secure stair for stepping in and stepping out of their rig.

The stairs on the Oliver Trailer and hefty, heavy-duty and don’t need anything shoved underneath to make you feel confident in your footing. Add carpet to the steps (here is my step-by-step guide ) and you are golden.

Built-In Surge Protector

Back when I wrote a post on the checklist for setting up at a new campground or RV park , I talked about the importance of testing the power pole to make sure the power it puts out is within an acceptable margin for your trailer. Further, it’s important to have protection against power surges during the entire time you are on shore power.

Not doing so can have disastrous results. I knew someone whose entire electrical system was blown when the power surged. The fix was neither cheap nor convenient.

This is something I knew from others’ warnings so I walked into full-time RV life with a high-end surge protector . But, it turns out, high-end surge protectors are a popular theft item from RV sites. I’ve seen people create a way to lock their surge protector. That’s a good option.

But one of the things I love about the Oliver is the built-in surge protector. (It was an add-on when I purchased but now a standard feature.) So, I still test the power pole with my portable surge protector, then stow it away and plug the trailer into the power pole, knowing that should there be an unexpected surge outside the acceptable range, my on-board surge protector will protect my rig.

Day and Night Shades

While giving tours of my Oliver, on occasion, people will ask about the shades. I love showing how they work. Day and night shades certainly aren’t exclusive to Oliver.

I included after-market shades on my probable mods list before I got into the trailer. But once I used the ones in the Oliver, I crossed the after-market shades off my list because I love the ones in the Oliver.

How they work is that there is a set of shades on the top of the window and another set on the bottom. If you want a solid shade for dark, privacy or to block the heat of the sun, you pull down the top shade. If you want to block a little bit of heat from the sun or need to slightly shade your computer screen but still want the lovely daylight, you pull up the mesh bottom shade.

I use both with regularity. I love being able to sit at any window without having to move as the sun does its daily dance across the sky.

I have to admit, this isn’t something I care about since I’m 5’2”. I don’t have to duck my head when I step out of the trailer. But many people do. Oliver thought of that and put a thick cushion on the top of the door frame.

I have not had a single man inside the trailer who hasn’t commented on it. Taller people really appreciate that detail. A head bump on a cushioned pad is a hundred times better than on a metal door frame. It saves a headache and a bruise.

Oliver Travel Trailer Review: The Service Department

I know I complained about the service department last week. But today I want to rave about them.

When you buy an RV from a dealer, once you drive off the lot and they have your money, they care little about you. Much like purchasing a car. It can be hard to get a call returned. This makes dealing with warranty issues sometimes more hassle than their worth.

None of that is true when you purchase an Oliver. They are fantastic and responsive. Oliver completely stands behind its product and the people regularly go above and beyond for owners.

When I was a newbie, I had a bunch of amateur questions. I emailed the head of the service department regularly and always got a helpful reply. I’m not sure any other manufacturer is as great at service as Oliver Travel Trailers. And I know my experience isn’t an isolated one as I’ve spoken to other owners who rave too. My one hope is that as production has increased that the responsiveness I received remains true for new owners.

Even though the price of an Oliver Trailer is quite high, so far, I’ve found the service department prices very reasonable. I may need to take it in a few more times to see if this holds true since my assessment comes after only one visit as my first service visit was when the entire trailer was still under warranty.

Oliver Travel Trailer Community

I cannot write an Oliver Travel Trailer review without mentioning other Oliver owners. The Oliver community is the thing I love most about my Oliver. I cannot express enough at how kind and giving other owners are. They truly take care of one another and offer help whenever and wherever they can.

This is true in person, through the Facebook group and the Oliver forum. I should note that you don’t have to be an Oliver owner to join the group or the forum. There are many people who are part of the group who are in their research and pre-buying phase.

It’s so helpful to ask a question and get answers and ideas from people who have experienced the same thing. No doubt, it’s also a big relief to the service department because it must greatly reduce the number of calls and emails they’d otherwise receive.

Since I don’t have anything to compare it to, I cannot say if Oliver owners are a tighter group than others. But I’ll be honest, it’s hard to imagine a more supportive tight-knit group.

If I Had It to Do Over Again?

Would you purchase an Oliver if you had it to do all over again? I get asked this question a lot. I certainly know many Oliver owners who answer this with an enthusiastic, “Yes!”

But I’m not quite so sure.

That said, I frequently wonder if what I feel falls more into the “grass is always greener” category. Because when I’m asked that question, I think about how nice just a little more space would be. I think about how much I loathe and struggle with hooking up the weight distribution hitch. And I think about how nice it would be to have a small vehicle for getting around at each stop.

In other words, I often wonder if I’d like a Class C better.

I don’t have any plans to change my situation but I do think about it sometimes. But thinking about a Class C with a small toad (vehicle towed behind the RV) doesn’t mean I don’t love the Oliver. No rig can be absolutely everything you want. I know this.

So, for now, I’m sticking with the Oliver.

I shared what I loved in this Oliver Travel Trailer review. Now it’s your turn. Share what you love about your RV.

I love the shades and I think every drawer and cabinet should have the lock handle. Great post. Love, Marie

Yeah, that isn’t a bad idea at all. Thank you, Marie!

Oliver should thank you for your reviews! Lots of good information and pix.

Thanks Debbie, nice write up. I’m Rhett, and sat beside you at the the first rally in Lake Guntersville. I’m missing my Ollie as we are locked down here in San Juan, Batangas, Philippines. We are hopefully flying home in about a month on our scheduled flight. We’ll see what happens here and in the US. I will add onto this in a bit as I need to read your vlog some more.

Hola! I will keep good thoughts that you are able to make it back as scheduled. Yeah, I’m at a state park and only going into town once a month for groceries. In a comfortable rig like the Oliver, social distancing isn’t too difficult.

Hmmmm. I left for a minute just now and lost my 20 minutes of typing. Just added the size and manuverabvility of the trailer make for better boondocking in the boondocks and I’ve pulled into many MacDonalds and parked and try pulling into a filling station with a 30-35’ rig. Ollie makes it easy. Just wanted to also add, Oliver requests that you don’t use their trailer as a full timer. Right? Ollies are not leakproof, but almost and if it leaks it is easy to fix. I would also add that you might want to try some airbags for your van and get rid of your equalizer hitch. I have an old F-250 and don’t use any equalizer. How are your jobs going. Maybe I will take the time and read more of your postings.

Dang. I hate when that happens. Glad you wrote again. Oh yeah, I didn’t think about thing I love while it’s moving. You’re right, it’s fairly easy to maneuver at gas stations and it’s low enough you don’t have to worry about hitting an overhead thing. I think only twice have I left a gas station that I pulled into because it was too small for me to feel comfortable getting to the pump. And a couple times I’ve had to wait for another car to leave in order to have a wide enough arc to get out and turned. But consider the total length, that’s not bad at all. And, you got me to thinking, that the shortness makes it likely you can go into any campground or state/national park and fit the rig which certainly isn’t true for the bigger ones. You know, I hadn’t heard that Oliver recommends not using an Oliver as a full-timer. Interesting. I wonder why. I have wondered about the pros and cons of that equalizer hitch because I just hate it so much and find it incredibly difficult to get hitched up. Sometimes as things have shifted in transit, I can even struggle getting the cotter pin and that metal rod out while unhitching. Thanks for the comment!

Excellent follow up. I really enjoyed your articles about your Oliver and your experiences.

Hi Debbie! I’m just researching RV trailers, trying to find the right one. I appreciate your love/hate lists! Very helpful. I’m wanting a lot of room to work on art projects, so I assumed I would be getting into a slide out. But with my research, fiberglass is so superior to the stick and tin models! I really need to go inside an Ollie to see if I can envision myself living in one. Kindest Regards, Donna from Texas

Thanks, Donna. So glad you find them helpful. I totally understand that push/pull of wanting enough space and wanting a highly quality trailer. It’s a hard decision. While I knew I wanted a fiberglass trailer from the start, it still took a lot of research and agonizing over which one. One consideration for you might be to consider setting up your art area outside your trailer. I see lots of people who use the outdoor space for work space. The biggest factor might be what areas you want to travel to because you’d want decent weather so you (and your supplies) are okay being outside. Yes, if you can, get to Tennessee for an Oliver factory tour. That is what pushed me to make that final decision to go with the Oliver. Since you are considering the Oliver, I’d recommend joining the Facebook Oliver Owners group. It can be really helpful to see what issues with the trailer people are talking about it. Let me know what you end up deciding. Best of luck.

Hi Debbie! Your blog is awesome! I spit my coffee out when I read “Barbie doll tires!” It is rewarding to learn from your wealth of experience. I only went camping twice in my life. But I do wish to travel across America in a TT or 5th wheel before I get too old and cranky. For now, I’ll read about it through your adventures. And yes, your “extensive vacationing” is what you would classify your adventures with Quill, in order to avoid a’void’ of warranted issues. 😉 Thanks for sharing your experiences! My Kindest Regards, Nicole in San Francisco.

Hey Nicole. I love when I make people spit out their coffee! Thank you for your kind words and, yes, you should absolutely find a way to fulfill your wish. It’s a beautiful and diverse country we live in, and even after four years, I’ve only experienced a tiny bit of it. So glad you are enjoying the blog. Let me know if you have any questions. Take care.

Hi Debbie! I’ve read so many of your posts that I feel like you are an old friend! My husband and I have gone back and forth between a class C an Airstream and an Oliver for over two years now! Finally, we took the leap and purchased the Oliver. I know the airstream is iconic, but given the increased chance for leaks, the increased price and the long wait time to get one, we opted out of going with an Airstream. The class C sounds appealing, but we aren’t going to use it full-time and decided that a truck and trailer combo would be best for us as we could use the truck for other things when not on the road. This left us with the Oliver and I have to admit you are the one who pushed us over the fence and gave us the courage to send in the deposit. We take ownership next month and we can hardly wait to spend the summer in it! Thank you for your advice and all of the information you shared. I feel like I really know what to expect when we take possession. 🙂

Hi Shelly, I love when people say they feel like they know me from the blog. And when people meet me, they often say I’m exactly as I am in my blog. It’s a complement to be sure. I’m glad to hear you found the blog. It is kind of you to say and to let me know. Helping others and sharing my experience is the reason I started the blog six years ago. I appreciate you taking the time to write your comment. Enjoy your new Oliver and the adventures that await!

Oliver Travel Trailers—Luxury With A Twist

Oliver Travel Trailers—Luxury With A Twist 

We don’t often associate the word Luxury with travel trailers. When we do see an attempt at this dichotomy it often leaves us…well, wanting more.

More is what you get with the high-quality fiberglass travel trailers from Oliver , built in Hohenwald, Tennessee. These elite, limited production, made to order, factory direct units are personalized to suit the taste of their discriminating customers.

Fiberglass travel trailers

The most unique features of these beautiful trailers are the custom-built aluminum frame and the double-hulled, insulated fiberglass shell . The strong, lightweight aluminum frame means your camper weighs less, so you can haul more and pull easier. Those living or camping in climates where rust is a concern can rest easy knowing that every Oliver Travel Trailer chassis frame is made with rust-proof aircraft aluminum. 

The gel-coated fiberglass shell, designed to last a lifetime, shields and encloses the water tank, plumbing, air ducts, and mechanical systems. Holding tanks and drains are similarly insulated and heated, the combination creating a 4-season luxury camper.

A four-season camper

To make a camper ready for all four seasons, Oliver combines additional composites and reflective materials into the fiberglass shell, while smartly leaving a small air gap to prevent condensation.

Add to that the dual-pane insulated windows and several heating options and the only cold you’ll feel will be inside the Norcold 3-way refrigerator. In warmer climates, you’ll find that the cold air from the Dometic High-Efficiency A/C unit stays inside the camper where it belongs. 

That great insulation makes for a quieter and more luxurious interior  than a typical riveted aluminum travel trailer. Inside the well-appointed and modern interior, you’ll find bright, stylish furnishings and LED lighting. The beautiful finish of the fiberglass shell not only looks great, but reduces the number of pieces that have to be bolted, riveted, and screwed together. 

This adds longevity, strength, and a refinement lacking in other travel trailers.

Sitting on one axle for the Legacy Elite model and a tandem axle for the Legacy Elite II , the Oliver Travel Trailers are well balanced and aerodynamic. Holding tanks are mounted low, between the shells and the batteries are mounted directly over the axles, lending to that great stability.

For the Legacy Elite II, that ingenuity means an unheard-of four house batteries can be outfitted for seemingly endless boondocking. Adding the optional solar package extends the journey even longer.

Customize your Oliver Travel Trailer

Several popular add-ons  are available for these finely crafted travel trailers. In addition to the standard fare of power, connectivity, and technology enhancements, you’ll also find a luxury countertop upgrade, an on-demand hot water option, and a powered automatic self-retracting awning.

These are just a few of several options you can choose when ordering your Oliver Travel Trailer. The level of personalization  is another twist you won’t see on other travel trailers anywhere near this price point. When ordering your personalized camper you can also choose your awning color, exterior graphics color, upholstery, and flooring.

A good look at an “Ollie” travel trailer reveals what over 800 hours of dedicated, skilled labor looks like. The four-stage quality assurance program culminates with a free shakedown night of camping at a nearby campground. This allows you to address any questions or concerns directly with the factory, another benefit of buying directly from Oliver.

Having one of the best warranty packages in the entire industry explains the rave reviews from happy Oliver customers. The fiberglass camper shell achieves a limited Lifetime Warranty, while that tough aluminum frame nets five years. Also included is a two-year warranty on parts and a Lifetime of Unlimited Continual Support.

What will it cost you for a factory direct, custom made, high quality, luxurious, all-weather camper? About the same as those shiny, mass-produced, pop-riveted campers. Pricing for the single axle Legacy Elite starts at $48,900 while the Legacy Elite II starts at $55,900. Unlike Oliver in Dickens’ fictional tale, with an Oliver Travel Trailer , you will indeed receive more.

Oliver Travel Trailer — A Look Inside Ours!

05/24/2019 · Kelly Rowe · 15 Comments

It’s finally time to share a few pics of the inside of our Oliver Travel Trailer!  Last September I posted,  Why we chose the Oliver Trailer —  and I kind of left you hanging.  Sorry about that…

Oliver Trailer Tour

In short, we picked up our trailer in October of last year… and we call him Ollie. We took one trip, then he went into storage for the winter months.  Womp womp womp.  Since then, a few more trips to Branson have taken place. 

Certainly, these trips to Branson have been called ‘practice trips.’  Haha.  They allowed us to figure out what we need for functionality and gave the dogs some time to adjust to a much smaller space.  The first trip (or two), were NOT easy.  Why?  First of all, we were not prepared and the dogs were terribly restless.

However, we’ve come along way, friends!  Our latest trip was a week long and it went FANTASTIC.  Having a crate for Parker to sleep in at night was just what the doctor ordered.  Steve and I both worked comfortably, we cooked/barbecued and realized that we’re officially ready to hit the road.  We’ll be going West after I’ve fully recovered from my upcoming surgery and our scheduled visit to St. John’s, Newfoundland in July.  

Oliver Travel Trailers  are the best travel trailers on the market so that you can explore the world and do it in all four seasons!

Let me first give you this disclaimer — the interior of the Ollie is light and bright!  Sooooo, photographing it isn’t exactly easy.  Nevertheless, you’re going to get a peek into our tiny home away from home, on wheels.  We absolutely LOVE our Oliver Travel Trailer…. as do many others.  Ollie has been the talk of a few campgrounds we’ve visited already (wink-wink).

Sleeping Area

Let’s start in the back of the trailer — where the beds are.  Yes, I said beds (with an ‘s’).  This isn’t a permanent housing situation, so we chose to go with twin beds, allowing for more walking room and not having to set up and tear down a bed every day. 

The Oliver Travel Trailer is a brand of high quality fiberglass travel trailers manufactured and headquartered in Hohenwald, Tennessee.

Kitchenette

The kitchenette and pantry are between the bed area and the dinette.  The kitchenette is on one side with a couple of propane burners, a refrigerator and microwave. In addition, the drawers provide so much great storage — and they’re so sleek looking!

And the dinette is perfect for Steve and I to dine at and/or work at.  On the other hand, the dinette can be turned into another twin bed,  perfect for a third guest.  

The bathroom is at the other end of the Oliver Travel Trailer.  Having a wet bath is perfection.  We haven’t showered in it yet, but it’s a decent size bathroom and I love knowing that I don’t have to use campsite facilities if I don’t want to…. and I really don’t want to (haha).

Wow! Beautiful trailer Kelly! I am sure you guys will enjoy it to the fullest! My eyes popped too though when I saw you’ll be making a trip to my Province of Newfoundland and Labrador in July! We don’t live in St. John’s, but we will be there some time in July to go wedding dress shopping with our daughter! It’s a beautiful Province and I hope you have a great trip and the weather is agreeable.

Hi Lisa! Thanks so much for checking out the trailer. My husband was born and raised in St. John’s, so this will be our second visit since we’ve been married. It is sooooo beautiful. I’m excited to go back and have my camera in tow. Here’s the post from out first visit: https://livelaughrowe.com/the-beautiful-province-of-newfoundland/ It’s a small-small world… HUGS!

05/26/2019 at 10:49 am

Hi Kelly, thanks for sharing your pictures of your visit to Newfoundland and Labrador. You certainly captured some of the beautiful essence of our Province. I live in the Labrador portion of our Province but have been to St. John’s and other parts of the Island many times. I am glad you had a chance to visit again. It’s lovely that you have some personal ties that gives you many reasons to return! :). By the way, I love your blog and all your projects. Your creativity is amazing. I am wanting to try some DIY items for our daughter’s wedding next summer, but don’t have the courage to know where to start…haha. Wish I was half as talented as you are! Take care

Loved the tour of your traveling home. It is perfect. Looking forward to reading all about your travels.

09/12/2019 at 4:20 pm

Hi Kelly, These are great pics! We are looking in buying an Oliver and wondered what you tow yours with. Have you gotten very much use out of it? Any regrets? Any insight would be so helpful.

09/04/2020 at 5:01 pm

Hi! We put money down on an Oliver! I’m wondering what color counter top , upholstery and floor you picked. They look great!

09/06/2020 at 8:55 pm

Hi Marie! Congratulations. Our countertops are the Fiber-Granite Tahoe (Grey), the flooring Step-Up Knox 890, and our upholstery is Tuxedo Gray IN109. Since we’ve had ours a few years, the options may have changed a bit. Definitely ask them if they have those or what they have that might be similar. So excited for you.

Julie McCollough says

10/23/2020 at 5:05 pm

You mentioned getting a crate for your fur baby. I was wondering what size and where you put it. Thanks!

Hi Kelly – It’s now June 28, 2021 and I just came across your post as I was looking for discussions about bedding for Oliver trailers. We pick up our Legacy Elite II next month and are very excited! But also very confused about appropriate bedding. We’ve seen lots of talk about specialty mattress pads and sheets made specifically for the twin beds in the Oliver, but wonder if regular standard twin size bedding would also work OK. Would much rather not have to get custom-made bedding if at all possible, given the price, which is also increased by shipping and exchange, since we live in Ontario, Canada. You mention that your bedding came from Target, which tells me you went with standard bedding. Two years later, are you still happy that you went that route? Thanks so much, and btw, your Ollie looks terrific!

Hi Karen! Congrats on your purchase of the Legacy Elite II. Our bedding is regular standard twin-size bedding. We just tuck more of the comforter under the bed on the backside — but it totally works and I wouldn’t recommend getting anything custom-made bedding. Of course, that’s my opinion; however, I didn’t know they made custom bedding for our mattresses. Even if I did, I wouldn’t make that investment and we love our bedding, no regrets. The one and only thing I hate about the beds is how heavy the custom mattresses are… I have a bad shoulder, so making the beds is quite a workout. Getting old problems. Haha.

Looking for something?

Oliver's Travels

Thoughts on an Oliver Legacy Elite II after three weeks of full-time camping

Overall, an outstanding travel trailer.

A little over three weeks ago , we jumped into the deep end of RV travel when we skipped doing two separate two-week warm-up camping trips and instead headed out on a 3-4 month full-time adventure instead. As I write this, we have completed 22 nights in our Oliver Legacy Elite II, Hull #961 .

Some standard features we absolutely love:

Overall quality and features . We bought the Oliver for its quality construction and high-end features and after three weeks of travel and living in it full-time, it’s been one of our favorite aspects of the trailer. By this, we mean collectively all the standard features throughout the trailer. We are proud to call it home and despite being small, it’s extremely comfortable. The all white interior makes it feel bright, clean and bigger than it it otherwise would and the quality is as though it was built by Tesla or Space X. I tell everyone that the Ollie is what you would expect Tesla to build if they got into travel trailers.

Rear bumper sewer hose storage . As the owner of the Kleen Tank Tennessee dealership, I deal with RV sewer pipes all the time. I’ve not yet seen a sewer pipe exit an RV anywhere other than on the street side of an RV except on the Ollie. (I’m sure there are some, I just haven’t encountered them yet.) On the Ollie, the sewer exit and hose storage are in the aluminum bumper and this has proven to be very nice. Clean, neat and convenient.

The twin bed floor plan . While we would prefer to sleep together in a Queen, the twin bed floor plan option has given us so much more space and it looks great. It also makes making the beds easy.

Closet and pantry . These have both proven to be plenty spacious and well-designed.

110 volt AC, 12 volt DC and USB outlets . These are placed in logical locations with a sufficient number installed.

Frosted cabinet doors . Our favorite interior lighting option is to keep the overheads off but to use the cabinet lights for a softer look. If we had the black cabinets, this would not be possible.

Optional features we could not live without and would recommend to ALL potential buyers of this trailer:

2022 Power Package Option for Legacy Elite II . For our model year, this was called the Lithium Pro Package — lithium batteries (390 AH), 340 watt solar panels with a Zamp solar charge controller, a Micro-Air Easy Start for A/C, a d a 3000 Watt Xantrex Pro inverter. When we stop at rest areas for lunch, we can use the AC, coffee maker and microwave (not all at once) using just the onboard lithium battery power. Pretty awesome. And if there is short shore power interruption, the trailer continues to operate normally just like a notebook computer does when you lose AC power and it switches to battery.

Aluminum front basket . I use this for my three-stage water filter and softener along with freshwater hoses and wheel chocks. It could be used for most anything, and on a small trailer, storage space is at a premium.

Backup camera . My wife and I comment all the time that this is an absolute safety ‘must have’ option. While the visibility we get from the mirrors of our 2013 F-150 Platinum is excellent, to know with certainty we are clear to change lanes, or so see what’s behind us when backing up, is invaluable.

Electronic Keypad . We have never used the key. It’s simply unimaginable to us to have to have a set of keys on us once we’ve set up camp and aren’t driving anywhere.

Truma AquaGo ® Comfort Tankless Water Heater with electric antifreeze kit . We have an on-demand water heater back at home, so we wanted one in the trailer. After a long, hot day of being outside, it’s nice to know you can take as long a shower as you want to as long as you’re hooked up to city water. If you intend to take advantage of the Oliver’s 4-season capability , then this is a must-have have for camping in freezing temps. You don’t have to winterize the heater at all!

Shower track and curtain . The wet bath is tolerable because our toilet isn’t getting all wet when we use the shower. Wiping down the sink, counter and walls is easy with a chamois given the water is contained to this area. To have to go and wipe down the toilet too would not be fun. This really should be a standard feature .

Optional features we could live without, but highly recommend:

KTT mattress option . These Talalay latex mattresses are simply outstanding and just like the Saatva Zenhaven mattress we have at home. If you are unfamiliar with Talalay latex, read this . They are firm. If you prefer a soft mattress, these will not be for you.

Second 30 amp shore connection on curb site . This is the side I use when parked at home, so it’s been invaluable to us. I didn’t have to buy a longer cable for use at home nor do I have to run a longer cable under the trailer all the way to the other side.

Street side awning . We’re really pleased with this option as it helps keep the temps cool when the sun is beating down. It also keeps rain out if the screens are open. Just be advised that these Girard awnings have an automatic retract feature when the wind picks up. Sometimes it would be nice to have them out, but the wind prevents it. You could, of course, override this feature at your own risk. We don’t.

Auto drain . More appropriately called an electric gray tank back flow preventer valve, instead of having a pull handle at the foot of the toilet where the shower curtain would block it, we simply use a rocker switch in the closet. Very convenient. Note to Oliver Travel Trailers : What would be incredible would be to have three electric rocker switches inside the cabin that would open this valve as well as the gray and black tank like high-end motor coaches have. Right now, you have to open the outside wet bay door to access the black and gray tanks and it’s not possible to leave the gray open without leaving the bay door open as well. Inconvenient to say the least, But electric controls would be a great combo with the sewer discharge being in the bumper. Dump on demand from inside!

This post will be updated from time to time as our journey continues. Please be sure to comment and share!

Are Oliver Travel Trailers Worth Their Enormous Price Tag? The Ultimate Ollie Guide.

By Kelly Beasley

Oliver Travel Trailers are an elite brand of molded fiberglass campers you may not have yet heard about.

Most people know about the Casitas and Scamps, but did you know there's a very similar style, Oliver, that's in a higher luxury class?

It's true! Oliver Travel Trailers are basically the yacht of the fiberglass RV world.

Only one other company makes them with as high quality as this, Cortes Campers. But they are brand-new in the molded fiberglass RV world.

Anyway, the quality of Oliver campers make the more common Scamp campers  and Casita campers look a bit 'lower-middle-class,' so to speak (though they are also pricey and well-made).

So what makes these little RVs so unique, aside from the high-quality fiberglass shell?

Let's dive in and see!

Oliver: The Yacht of The Fiberglass Travel Trailer World

Interiors are VERY similar to the way a yacht is outfitted and looks. 

The title above is no exaggeration. High-quality yachts are made of similar materials and design.

The materials used to create an 'Ollie,' as they call them, are of superior quality.

There is nothing in the Oliver RV that can degrade or wear down in a lifetime.

OBVIOUSLY there will be a few parts that will need replacing in a 20-year span or so, but for an RV, that's almost unheard of.

Even the frame and steps are made out of aluminum instead of steel, so they won't rust.

Another standout feature is the double-hull design.

Unlike other high-quality molded fiberglass campers , almost all of the other brands use a single-hull design.

This double hull allows for insulation to go in between the hulls, increasing the insulation value so well that this truly is the best 4-season fiberglass trailer out there.

But it also adds weight to the trailer. There are pros and cons to everything, right?

A Camper Likely To Outlive You! 

Do you think you'll live to 100? If so, there's still a good chance your Oliver will exist longer than you.

That said, the company has only been around since 2007, so there's no proof of that length of longevity.

But aside from an accident on the road, there's not much that can destroy the hull or frame.

If well-kept, you can expect your Ollie to easily last beyond your lifetime.

Four-Season Capabilities

Yes, we touched on this earlier. The double hull itself offers a layer of insulation with the gap in between the hulls.

It also eliminates a good portion of condensation problems that happen with their competition.

They put a layer of insulation in between also, so you'll stay more comfortable than you will in a competitor.

This insulation also helps to block noises from outside.

Only the Cortes camper  also has a double fiberglass shell.

On Oliver's website, they explain :

"For insulation, we use an insulated double-sided radiant barrier, which is best described as follows:

Reflective aluminum foil on each side of a 5mm (13/64 inch) polyethylene bubble center.

*Polyethylene Bubble + Radiant barrier + Vapor Barrier + Air Gap Barrier."

It also features double-pane windows, an 11,000 BTU ducted furnace, and "a quiet and efficient Dometic Penguin II roof-mounted air conditioner and the MaxxAir Fan Deluxe."

These things combined provide a superior environment inside when it comes to temperatures.

Customizable

The Oliver camping trailers are only available direct from the manufacturer (and only custom) if you're buying new.

They are not sold at RV dealerships. (Yay for not having to deal with RV dealers! Yay for excellent service and talking to people who know what they are doing!)

Therefore, just like when building a house, it's your job to pick every available detail when you order.

Some Standard Items:

• Dometic A/C, Furnace
• Three Powered Stabilization Jacks
• Stainless Steel Microwave
• Flush Mount Dual Burner LP Stove
• 2-Way Fridge
• Entertainment System

Some Optional Items:

• Lithium and AGM Battery Power Packages with Solar and Inverters
• Truma On-Demand Water Heater
• Composting Toilet
• Powered Awning
• Anti-Sway Weight Distribution Hitch

Are Olivers Rodent Proof?

Hallelujah, they ARE!

These trailers are rodent-proof. The only way they can get in is for you to invite them through the door.

We're not even sure why they don't promote this as one of their selling points.

Unlike traditional RVs, the two-piece molding prevents openings for critters to enter.

All of the components are located inside the camper hull, so there are no exit/entry points for critters.

They do have 13 condensation weep-holes underneath the trailer but they are screened to prevent outside entry.

Additionally, the insulation material in between the hulls is non-nesting.

There's nothing for them to get to nest and really, not many places they would want to nest.

What Models Does Oliver Make?

Oliver travel trailers only produce two models:

• Legacy Elite (one floorplan)
• Legacy Elite ll (two floorpans)

The Legacy Elite comes with a single axle (2 tires) and is 18 feet 5 inches long, and it weighs only 3,700 pounds dry.

The Legacy Elite ll comes with a double axle (4 tires) and is 23 feet 6 inches long. It weighs 4,900 pounds dry.

Each has a side dinette that breaks down into a 75" x 30" bed.

Check out their brochure and build worksheet. Brochure has tons of info. With build sheet, you can see 2023 build prices and packages they offer.

Boondocking In An Oliver

Is an Oliver trailer good for boondocking?

It absolutely is, and additionally, it might be one of the best boondocking rigs in existence!

There are many reasons for this. First, it has a double-hull design with insulation in between, making it very well insulated.

All the plumbing is inside the unit, it has a lithium battery upgrade available, AND it has excellent capacities for its tanks (grey water tank, black tank, and the all-important fresh tank).

On top of the camper being small and agile, all of these features make it a superior product for dry camping.

With the lithium batteries, you also get solar. They also offer a composting toilet option.

How Much Do Oliver Travel Trailers Cost?

The Oliver Legacy Elite starts at $65,500.

The Oliver travel trailer price for the Elite ll starts at $73,500.

And those are the bare-bones prices with no add-ons.

What Is A Molded Fiberglass Travel Trailer?

Let's make sure you understand the difference between a molded fiberglass trailer  and travel trailer models that have fiberglass siding.

There are trailers with fiberglass sides, and there are molded fiberglass trailers, and they are VERY different:

Molded Fiberglass

Molded fiberglass travel trailers come in two or four pieces. They only have ONE seam between each molded half.

They are comprised of a top and a bottom that are connected together in the middle. The middle connector point is the only seam.

If a molded fiberglass trailer comes in four pieces, it's similar to a two-piece trailer, except it has an inner and an outer hull.

So, two top hulls and two bottom hulls. Still, there's only the seam in the middle.

Fiberglass-Sided

Conversely, fiberglass-sided RVs have only sides made out of laminated fiberglass, and they come in many separate panels.

Typically two side panels, a front and rear panel, a roof panel, and the floor.

In other words, there are roof seams. Roof seams are the #1 source of leaks.

The panels are connected and then sealed to stop leaks (this is how 'regular' RVs are made.  They are very prone to leaking due to many long seams).

To put it simply, with a molded fiberglass RV you have MUCH less chance of water penetration due to there being many less seams than you find in a traditional, fiberglass-sided RV.

Oliver Travel Trailer Luxury Features

The company offers many luxury features, some come standard, and others are optional.

Things such as:

• Porcelain toilet
• Bulldog electric hitch
• On-demand water heater
• Lithium package
• Wireless backup camera
• Electronics pro package with cell booster, electronic door lock, and more
• Omni-directional antenna
• Composting toilet
• Locking cabinets and drawers
• Yacht-like interior

Not many RV interiors compare to this brand in luxury and quality. (Check out other nice trailers .)

Why Are Molded Fiberglass Campers So Popular?

The molded fiberglass camper is very popular for a multitude of reasons.

First, the fiberglass and frame are nearly indestructible, so the trailer lives a long life AND holds its value.

Additionally, they are small and compact.

They are often very light, capable of being towed by many different types and brands of vehicles.

Lastly, they are cute! They aren't the boxy traditional travel trailer we're all used to seeing.

Do Oliver Trailers Hold Value? 

The Oliver holds its value exceptionally well.

It's nearly indestructible, in demand, and not many are made every year, creating the perfect storm for holding value.

Not being able to order one and get it even within a year causes many buyers to look at used models.

There aren't many used for sale out there, so naturally, supply and demand keep the used price quite high.

Oliver Trailer Cons

Do these campers have cons? Sure!

Almost everything we've covered above is a pro, so here are some cons for you to chew on:

• Wait time for a new one 1 year+
• May not want to get it dirty/scratched, so may not use like you want to
• Wet bathroom (some people don't mind this, some do)
• Lack of storage inside and out
• Condensation might be an issue (Get some airspace under your mattress)
• Smaller of the two is only single axle (be SURE to get a TPMS system)
• Hard to find used
• AC above bed (cold and loud)

Manufacturing Plant Tour

Here's a really easy to follow and educational video.

It's a walk-through tour of the Oliver manufacturing plant relaying interesting facts about the campers and the process of building them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Oliver trailers are high-quality small campers that do depreciate, but hold their value fiercely.

Whether the Oliver trailer cost is 'worth' the money is a personal call.

They are one of the most expensive molded fiberglass trailers on the market per square foot, and the price very well might be beyond your budget.

If you have the money to spend and are looking for a high-quality product from a top-notch company, whether the Oliver travel trailer starting cost of $65,500+ is 'worth it' is completely up to you.

What Is The Largest Oliver Travel Trailer?

How Much Does An Oliver Trailer Weigh?

Here are the weights of their 2021 and earlier trailers:

Legacy Elite dry weight: 3,700 lbs

Legacy Elite ll dry weight: 4,900 lbs

Note that they weigh more once one adds water, propane, goods, food, etc. to the camper, and the axles are only rated for 5,000 and 7,000 pounds respectively.

What Is The GVWR Of Oliver Trailers?

The Ollie has two camper lengths. Here are their GVWR's ( Gross Vehicle Weight Rating , or the maximum the trailer can weigh):

Legacy Elite: 5,000 pounds

Legacy Elite ll: 7,000 pounds

Ollie's are high-quality molded fiberglass campers that are highly sought-after but will decimate a regular person's wallet.

The look and materials that make up the camper are luxurious and sturdy, and they hold their value impressively.

The result is an almost indestructible RV and it will easily outlast you if well-kept.

The only reason to not love these campers is - well, you decide. The company has owners (ambassadors) that are willing to let you come look at their tiny campers .

Simply contact them on their website to get set up with a nearby owner for a look.

Now it's up to you to decide whether you can afford and/or want this unique camper to call your own.

I dedicated myself to living the full-time RV life for over 6.5 years, immersing myself in the unique quirks and joys of the boondocking lifestyle and gaining a wealth of knowledge and experience along the way. In December 2020, my business partner and I made the transition to part-time RVing, but in January 2023, we hit the road once again, this time in our trusty vans. My mission is to help others embrace the RVing lifestyle with confidence and excitement, armed with the knowledge and resources needed to make the most of their adventures. I believe that the more you know, the more you can truly appreciate and enjoy the freedom and flexibility of the open road.

Oliver furthermore provides a wide range of offers advanced options, such as lithium battery configurations, solar panels, cell signal boosters, composting toilets, and much more. You can also personalize your Oliver by selecting from a variety of interior finish choices.

Let’s take a look further at what makes the Oliver campers a great option for your purchase!

Fiberglass Travel Trailers

The custom-built chassis and double-hulled, insulated fiberglass skin are the most distinguishing elements of these lovely trailers. Your camper’s aluminum frame is sturdy and light, allowing you to carry more and pull more easily. Every Oliver Travel Trailer chassis frame is built of rust-proof aviation aluminum, so those who live or camp in locations where corrosion is a problem may rest assured.

The water tank, plumbing, air ducts, and mechanical components are all protected and encased by the gel-coated fiberglass shell, which is built to last a lifetime. The insulated and heated holding tanks and drains combine to create a luxurious camper that can be used all year.

Customizable Campers

These well-made travel trailers can be outfitted with a variety of popular accessories. You’ll get a premium countertop upgrade, on-demand hot water, and a motorized automated self-retracting awning, in addition to the normal power, connectivity, and technology upgrades.

When purchasing your Oliver Travel Trailer, you have a variety of options to choose from. One unique feature that you won’t find on some other travel trailers at this price point is the level of customization. You can choose the color of your awning, exterior graphics, upholstery, and flooring when buying your custom trailer.

Warranty Program

It’s easy to see what over 800 hours of committed, expert labor looks like when you look at an “Ollie” camper trailer. A free night of camping at a local campground is the culmination of the four-stage quality assurance program. Another advantage of buying directly from Oliver is that you may directly contact the factory with any queries or problems.

The fact that Oliver has one of the best warranty programs in the business explains why so many delighted customers have left glowing reviews. The fiberglass camper cover comes with a five-year warranty, while the sturdy aluminum frame comes with a limited lifetime warranty. A two-year components warranty, as well as Lifetime Continual Support, are also included.

Four Season Camper

Oliver cleverly mixes extra composites and reflective elements into the fiberglass shell to provide a camper suitable for any and all four seasons, while allowing a small air gap to avoid humidity.

When you put in the Norcold 3-way refrigerator’s dual-pane insulated windows and a variety of heating choices, the only cold you’ll experience is inside. The Dometic High-Efficiency A/C unit’s chilly air stays within the camper where it belongs in warmer areas.

Compared to a normal riveted aluminum travel trailer, the inside is quieter and more pleasant due to the excellent insulation. You’ll discover bright, trendy furnishings and LED lighting throughout the well thought and sophisticated decor. The fiberglass shell’s exquisite finish not only looks great, but also decreases the number of pieces that must be bolted, riveted, and screwed all together.

This offers a level of refinement, robustness, and durability that other travel trailers lack.

The Oliver Travel Trailers are finely balanced and aerodynamic, with one axle for the Legacy Elite type and a tandem axle for the Legacy Elite II. The batteries are situated immediately over the axles and the holding tanks are mounted low between the shells, giving the vehicle a lot of consistency.

Because of this inventiveness, the Legacy Elite II can be configured with unheard-of four house batteries for seemingly indefinite boondocking. The journey is made even more comfortable by adding the solar package as an option.

Finding Oliver Campers to Buy

Up to one million citizens of the united states lead a normal life in motor homes. Including over 11% of US households having a camper van, ownership has increased from 7.9 million in 2005 to over nine million at least.

As sales grow, so do the number of companies selling travel trailers. Nevertheless, for all those trying to purchase an RV and live the RV lifestyle, there are only three choices.

A travel trailer can be purchased from an RV dealership, a categorized website like RV Trailer, or directly from a manufacturing company like Oliver Travel Travelers. We can also go over the numerous methods for finding travel trailers you can buy.

RV Dealership

On the document, purchasing an RV from a dealership appears to be a good option for the majority of people. This really is due to the fact that dealerships frequently have a large inventory of RVs. It may also include camping trailers and motorhomes designed for road trips.

Every one of the RVs is gathered in one location for you all to “feel and touch,” and the dealer will handle your exchange.

Dealerships also offer financing which can include even extended warranties in the same transaction. When you purchase a new RV or camper, a whole rig or motorhome is protected by a warranty.

Even so, if something goes wrong, the producer of the RV will be held liable for the repairs. The dealership will only assist you in fixing the conflict.

The downside…

Even as dealerships are typically known for having extra inventory, the COVID pandemic has done result in record sales again for RV business, having left dealerships with limited inventory. As a consequence, often these dealerships do not carry the floor plans or product lines you seek.

RV distributors sell a wide range of brands that are not always well-versed in all of their inventory. Furthermore, they are not as familiar with the components they sell as an RV manufacturer who sells direct.

Classified Websites

If you’re searching for a new or used RV, classified websites can help. Furthermore, most classified internet sites frequently excel in trying to trade used RVs, making it perfect for someone on a limited budget.

A large percentage of the websites also make private owners sell RVs and RV dealership adverts.

Classified websites are significantly less expensive than travel trailer dealerships. Purchasing an RV from a classified ad, on the other hand, can be a minefield. Consumers must expect to face bad experiences, but a classified website can easily be compromised.

Distance is among the major disadvantages of classified websites. If you use a famous RVs platform, the one users prefer maybe thousands of kilometres away.

Of that kind issues frequently hinder the transaction because you cannot rely on the images posted on the device. You must go to the merchant to verify that the RV would be in the same circumstance as shown in the picture.

Although if you employ an inspector to investigate the RV, you won’t know its situation until it arrives.

Moreover, you must safeguard funding or be willing to pay the entire quantity of cash. Ultimately, you must complete the transaction of needing to pay for the rig in exchange for the car and title.

The larger the proximity between both the buyer and seller, the more complicated the procedures. When users consider conducting an in-person inspection and transaction and discover that there must be something amiss with the RV or that other issues are obstructing the selling.

Users will still have invested a significant amount of time and money in the method, and it is not an encounter you want to repeat.

A Direct Purchase from the Oliver Manufacturer

A recreational vehicle can be purchased straight from the factory. It is perfect for all those searching for a decent deal on travel trailers for selling. Oliver Travel Trailers has been manufacturing high-quality fiberglass travel trailers as of 2007. Their aim is to produce the highest standards camper trailers and provide great customer services to the clients. They have designed their one-of-a-kind double-shelled fiberglass and composite hull that will last a long life.

If you want to see an Oliver travel trailer anywhere around you, they can assist you to organise a meeting to view an owner’s travel trailer through their Field Visit Program.

Wrap Up: A Luxurious RV

Molded fiberglass RVs are a type of camper that is lightweight, simple to build, and comparatively leakproof. Fiberglass is indeed a material created by rapid heating glass till it becomes molten. The glass is intertwined together and mixed with resins to build a solid, strong, lightweight, and long-lasting substance.

If you prefer this type of process for an RV, especially if you want it lightweight and not heavy to haul around, the Olive campers are the best options for you!
