We were full time in our Oliver and it is the perfect traveling machine. Easy to get into smaller state and national park campgrounds. We now have over 70k miles in 6 years and it tows beautifully behind our truck. You can option it for long boondocking stays which we did and the places we stay are priceless (meaning beautiful scenery and $0.00 per night). Now if you are looking for an inexpensive camper to occasionally take out that has recliners and a 50” tv well there are plenty of them to choose from.
I was all set to buy an Oliver and saw two at a Dallas RV show early this year 2024. What surprised me was how small they really are. The shower might be a hair bigger than other wet baths, but wowza was space tight. I love the design, I don’t love the limited space, limited battery capacity and storage. Oliver went from being an RV for extended trips, to a weekender in my opinion. I still like them. But not sure I could spend a month on the road in one. 😊
As I said in the video, to buy an Oliver you have to be willing to live in a small space. They are not going to be everyone's cup of tea. But for the right people, they are really great.
Hi Charles. Unfortunately as I said in the video, fiberglass has it's limits when making an entire RV out of it in one piece. And the limit seems to currently be about 25 feet.
Thanks for pointing that out. I'm sure it will be helpful for some considering the use of a smaller pickup truck with Oliver Legacy Elite 2 RVs. And thanks again for sharing your Oliver with everyone by means of this video!
I visited Oliver in person during a road trip a year or so ago after seeing one of your past videos. In their demo unit that I was invited to see (the bigger model), there was a huge puddle of water on the interior floor. Scared me out of even considering buying one (aside from the cramped interior and the high price tag).
That's certainly not a regular occurrence with Olivers. Every single Oliver owner I have spoken with, and there have been many, have all loved their RV thoroughly.
Any camper with roof penetrations and windows can develop a leak. And a leak is unbelievably easy to fix in an Oliver. The best part though, is that even if a leak occurs, nothing inside the camper or in it's construction will be effected by water intrusion. Of all the Oliver owners I know, I've never heard of a leak that was not quickly repaired at minimal or no cost, and never heard of any level of damage that was sustained. They are built like a sail boat, impervious to water damage. Any other design would have damaged wood components in a very short time.
Love my Oliver Hull# 1194 2022 LE ll Used in Wilderness Areas Has held up very well for me.
That sounds great James. I always appreciate hearing from an Oliver owner. I hope you have lots of great adventures in it in the years ahead!

Thanks for sharing your full time RVing experience in an Oliver. I'm sure it will be helpful for others.

@@RVInspectionAndCare I couldn’t agree more! I wasn’t joking, I love them, was going to buy one but it was just way smaller than I expected.
Same! But I had to be realistic. It was too small for 2 people and 2 dogs. Ended up buying an Intech OVR Navigate. Love it!
@@CantankerousCrow - I have one old Golden Retriever, Paco. She’s underfoot in my house, I could only imagine her in an Oliver. 😎🐶🥰
@@Erin-Thor Mine are small but they still manage to occupy a lot of space! 😂
Thanks for the review! Love the quality of an Oliver! Just wish they could make one in the 26-28' range.

Hi This is Bill & Nancy - Just wanted to note that our GMC Canyon is a diesel, it's towing capacity is 7700 pounds.

A small trailer is a small trailer? 😃
