My wife, Sylvia and I have the Legacy Elite II, 2019 Hull #428 and we love it! No wood construction, except for the beautiful dove tail drawer boxes, means no rot! The overbuilt aircraft aluminum frame, custom built by Oliver for their TT, and SS marine grade hardware through out means no rust! The 3500 lb Dexter Tandem Axles with four shocks not only gives a quality ride but provides up to 1800 lbs of on board cargo, far exceeding the capacity of similar size trailers! Coupled with a yacht quality Fiberglass Constructed Hull that is aerodynamic and tracks in the same ruts as my Toy Tundra means it’s great off road but you forget it’s there at Interstate Highway speeds! Is it worth the Price? Heck Yes!
I don’t want to dump on anyone else’s trailer but…… I have owned almost every type of rv there is over the years, Teardrop to class A with everything in between, been in many more. People look for different features depending on what they want (more likely what they think they want) and factors like family size etc. but bar none and I mean NONE there is no better built trailer for sale in the US. Period. If you really do your research, see the build process, materials used, the fact that these are custom made for each customer, these are not slapped together in fact they only build about 100 a year, that’s a week or a week and a half for many builders. The fact that historically these have resold for at least what the original buyer paid not just recently but over the entire time they they have been making them that is unheard of with any other rv builder. I happily just finished paying of my trailer, will pick up in August, yes it’s loaded with lots of options I paid about 85k, this will be the last trailer I will ever have to buy, heck it will be the last trailer my grandkids will need. Size wise it’s perfect for 1-2 people AND you can take it anywhere! High clearance and small enough to fit anywhere it won’t be a pavement queen for me!
Hi Brad! I did not know that they only make about 100 Oliver travel trailers per year. I could feel the quality of the build when I walked into it and I agree.... quality does matter. I too love the size and the ability to be able to virtually go anywhere!
@@RandisAdventures they are trying to ramp that up a bit but still keep the quality, I pick mine up in August (2022) and my hull number will be about 1200 that number includes both models they have been making them almost 20 years, granted there were a few years (4?) in the last recession (2008ish) where the rv manufacturing shut down but they have averaged about that over time.
An addendum and clarification of my statement that Oliver makes 100 a year, they have AVERAGED less than a hundred a year, (they have been around for 15 years or so and my new trailer is hull number 1211, (to be delivered to me in August) you do the math!) I spoke with them and was told that they are trying to build 200-300 a year now so they have started to ramp up a bit, still a very low volume manufacturer with every unit hand made and bespoke for each customer.
Brad, I really like the Oliver trailers and am considering one for my next RV. Do you mind sharing what options you chose? I want to go for more off grid trips so I want solar, lithium batteries, large inverter, wifi extender etc.
High quality, aluminum frame, 4 season insulation. Compared to the absolute stapled-together-cardboard- -trash materials many other brands sell, these are worth every damn penny! I want one!
I own a Airstream Nest which is also fiberglass so I definitely appreciate the fiberglass construction. The Oliver is a beautiful camper and if we ever decide to go larger we certainly would consider one.
Well I bought one so I thought was worth the price! Not for everyone but a very nice and easy to tow camper. While molded fiberglass a world apart from Scamp and Casita but price reflects that. Happy camping!
My husband loves the slide out battery tray. I love the front closet for coats and shoes!!! If we didn't have the T@B 400, we would consider the Oliver. It looks so well made!!!
The Tab 400 is pretty well made when compared to other more traditionally made Trailers. Before I bought my Oliver I bought one and went on a two week, cross country road trip. It just wasn’t big enough for me, I sold it, got 98% of my money back and ordered the Oliver. The 400 feels much more cramped especially if you are 6ft tall or taller and the bathroom is much smaller. Everything on the Oliver is just a step up.
Well equipped Airstream would be similarly priced. Certainly the heavy duty chassis is part of that $60K, but the double shell fiberglass construction makes it pricey. But, that will last, with no or minimal seams to worry about leaking, rusting, rotting. Fiberglass would be lighter, but after loaded it up with features and options, need a good rig to pull it. Definitely a long term RV. If Little Guy Max were fiberglass, wonder what the weight savings would be?
It's a beautiful camper and, if you have the money, I'm sure it's well worth the price! It's a little bigger and heavier than we wanted ourselves. We just purchased a used Geo Pro TB15 foot camper with the same twin bed arrangement that we love - you don't have to climb over each other to get in or out of bed to use the bathroom at night, but at 1/4 the price, it left us more money for actually taking trips. I really love that coat and shoe closet by the door - that would be very handy while camping! Thanks to this lovely couple for sharing their camper with us - it was fun to see it!
I get it. However, if I'm going to invest that much money I'm going to want a full sized fridge, dry bath and a few extra amenities. 🤷 Thanks for letting us tour your rig. It is lovely.
I definitely love the Oliver. It would be in my top 3 picks if I was to sell my home and go rv! Oliver is an upgrade from Casita. Thank you for sharing and be safe.
We've been researching travel trailers & after coming full circle & even strongly considering the adorable lil guy max - we have come back & narrowed it down to the Oliver. 🤗 I want to add that i wish we'd have pulled the trigger 2 yrs ago... because the price has gone up quite a bit - esp if you add options...but even with that said...it's still worth it to us. Without any doubt though... this trailer is the absolutely best made 100% 4 seasons trailer. The take is close to what owners paid for it - unbelievable! We're thrilled that with their extensive lithium & solar pkg they offer now - that we will be able to have ac &/or heat if need be, when we are boondocking & enjoy nature while still being comfortable. It has everything we need & honestly... the most committed & loyal customers I've ever seen. I do have to add though Randy... that I love the lil guy max too - it's so cute... but unfortunately it just doesn't fit our needs. It proves we all are different & have to find what works for us. Thank you for what you do...we just bought our gladiator rubicon & your video helped us in our decision....cute & fun! 😉 Enjoy your travels & stay safe.
Hi Lorie!!! It is so fun to hear that you “pulled the trigger!” Everyday without a camper is a non-camping weekend! I absolutely love my Little Guy Max camper but I know there are other choices that may accommodate other campers better. I really like that the Oliver is a true 4 season camper although I have had no problems winter camping in Minnesota in my LGM. I’d love it if Xtreme Outdoors had a lithium/solar package too. I have wanted to upgrade to lithium batteries and more solar but I am not convinced it’s an easy process and there might be unexpected problems so buying a trailer with a lithium solar package is intriguing. Hey, Xtreme Outdoors…. I am hoping you are reading this!!! The Oliver is undeniably a fantastic travel trailer and I am excited for the adventures that await you!!!
Definitely love the 4 season camping ability...really love our little guy max. For us the dinette would be too small, but I'm glad they love it...that's what makes the world go round...variety!!
Just think of it as twice the trailer of a Scamp or cassita. The double hull construction and the overlapping seam are such good features, very well thought out through and through.
You know it is expensive, but the construction of it looks like this would be a solid long lasting camper. If you want something that’s going to last I think this camper is a winner! Plus these surfaces, allow easy cleaning. Traveling around can get very dusty and the interior of this trailer allows you to keep it exquisitely clean if you want. This is no disposable camper. It’s made to last.
The build on these trailers is bulletproof, and they will last a lifetime. These are true, four season rigs, and the only downside is the relative lack of storage space.
I don’t think they have much less storage compared to other trailers, few trailers (unlike 5th wheels or Motorhomes) have outside storage and the Oliver has upper cabinets like most. To be honest I have a truck with a roll up metal cover over the bed so I have all the storage I need
Why do you need a million cubic feet of storage in the camper? We pull ours with a pickup truck with 4 full size doors and a camper shell on it, if you want to bring more crap just put it in the truck...
I love the Oliver & I too believe they are worth the investment. We chose the Escape 5.0 as it is a fifth wheel & has many similar benefits but does lack the gleaming cabinets that is in the Oliver. This couple seems to have camping down as their cabinets were not wedged with things as is so common in many rigs. Less is more! Well done Ms Randi. 😎
I think there is a lot of thoughtful construction in that trailer. I liked the locking drawers too. I learned the hard way with the Max that the drawers don't close well for travel. My only gripe is that it seems to me the closet shelving isn't that great. In the Max, I like the distance between shelves and hang up. My favorite thing with the wetbath with the sink where the sink spigot became the shower. Too cool. I do not know if I'd pay $60K though. A little too steep for my budget. 2022 models are starting at $65K, and I know the Max jumped substantially this year too (got my 2019 for about $33 brand new, now seeing them go for $42 brand new). Also, for those wondering, this trailer runs about 7000 lbs GVWR and 4900lbs dry.
It’s crazy how much RV prices have increased. I never would have expected my 3 year old Little Guy Max to be worth today what I paid for it 3 years ago!
Actually the closet in person is quite spacious, it’s deceiving because the floor of the closet is quite a bit lower than the floor your standing on. You are right there are many many small thoughtful features that are very well thought out like the fact that while the tanks, electrical, mechanicals etc are between the layers of fiberglass tubs, they are all easily accessible for repair
Thank you Randi for the tour! Im impressed with the Oliver Trailer but even the smaller single axle trailer is just a bit too heavy for me to tow with my vehicle, after doing my research. I’m not ready to upgrade my crossover suv. So I purchased a smaller tear drop trailer and will make that do for my adventures. But any one that can pull the Oliver it is a well built trailer and of course it keeps it value for resale. But you don’t find many used ones for sale. Most keep these for long term. 😊
I too was impressed with the Oliver trailer. It is so well built. I love that you bought a small teardrop! You have so many fun adventures ahead of you!!!! 🤣
It would definitely be worth it if they upgraded the suspension to make it more off road capable. Convert to independent suspension trailing arms with shocks, coils and airbags (like the Australian caravans) and we would be buyers. Every other component on the trailer and the overall construction is well worth $60K. The Australian caravans we're looking at (Kimberley, Bruder, Lotus, Kendron) are more than twice that amount!
Actually the suspension is much better than most trailers out there, there are four shocks as opposed to most that have no shocks. Full off road independent suspension would be great and heavy and expensive but these are definitely off road capable, rock crawling capable like some of the Australian units, no.
Shell within a shell fiberglass trailers like this one and other double shell makes/models command a serious price tag and it shows. If a single shell RV is good enough for you, pricing seems about half. This gives prospective buyers a distinct first choice to make... save money and have single shell (perhaps with carpeted wall) or go double. Viva la choice. The other BIG quality feature I very much like in the Oliver is the compartments are literally molded in and not fastened to the shell. That's a pretty serious quality feature that makes it worth the $60k (2023 even more).
So true! The bigger the price tag the better the quality. But, it's nice to have options because the most important thing is just finding the right camper trailer for you!
The inside is very futuristic. A bit like a space capsule. Wish the windows were bigger to see the great outdoors. Not much outside storage for items. Easy to clean but not a lot of opportunity to customize. Looks well built.
We attended the Tampa RV Show. It was overwhelming! The Oliver was the highest quality we saw. The only thing I didn’t like about it was how small the Elite II felt compared to an Airstream or an InTech of similar size. If we buy a trailer it will be one of those three. I looked at the builds from the point of view of an experienced boater. To me Oliver seems bomb proof. Just wish it was roomier.
Sweet Mother of Pearl!!!! No way The Lovely Bride and I would pay that much for a trailer we would only be using once in a while with a price tag nearly what we paid for our three-bedroom house and close to three acres of land. I see a pop up or fold down in our future.
It fits nicely on f150 4x4 for us, I've also seen it used with the m350 bluetec mb suvs and various other pickups and decent suvs. GVWR 7,000 lbs 4900 dry with no options. 5300ish dry optioned up.
Sorry I'm not daddy-war-bucks. I am very happy with my 2017 Prowler 272LX. That I did not have to sign over my firstborn for. Unrelated question: I heard that Little Max screens in front rip, and tear easily?
Okay…please, everyone, give me your thoughts on this question. The Oliver or the Bigfoot? It seems to me the Bigfoot is much roomier, has a dry bathroom, and is similarly priced. Thoughts?
Is it got for hot weather. Temperature 45 c° qnd dusty environment? How is the air-conditioning performance? Can I take this trailer over sand dunes? Thanks for the lovely video.
Thank you for this! I’ve been drooling over casitas for years but my search just expanded. 😂 What a gorgeous trailer. I’m a single mom with a 6 year old daughter and this would be perfect for us. Just sent an inquiry. 😊 Does anyone know how long he wait list is right now?
It depends how it is built. The Oliver has two hills,an inner and outer,and is insulated. Your typical fiberglass trailer from Jaeco,etc is poorly insulated
Worth it? Maybe but I found some feature to be weird like the privacy shades and the tv locations. He said it was a four season trailer. Were the tanks inside somewhere? I liked the storage and the twin bed set up. But I still like my LGM better.
Hey Carol! My understanding is the tanks are enclosed between the shells which helps them from freezing. The 4 season feature is something I liked about the Oliver Legacy.
Carol, the Oliver is basically a shell within a shell, it’s built like a yeti ice chest with insulation and an air space between the shells for better performance in more extreme weather. That space is heated and that is where the tanks are located. Thus giving the true 4 season ability. Many people claim there rig is four season, but if they don’t have there tanks inside, heated and insulated, it’s not true 4 season. The real magic is that it was designed in such a way as everything between the two shells is easily accessible for service. Just curious, why did you find the privacy shades weird? They actually were a big selling point for me, good looking, the fiberglass surround was very well done, attractive and keeps the shades from bouncing around while driving as many of my past rigs have done. Not sure given the floor plan where would be better for the TV so it could be seen by anywhere in the rig but I doubt I will ever use it so it doesn’t bother me personally.
@@bradarmstrong7467 I found the blinds unusual because the privacy comes down for the top. That is opposite of most privacy shades. I like being able to pull mine up just enough so no on can see me but I can still let air in.. Beautiful trailer!
Copart in Alabama has a 2022 oliver legacy elite 2 for sale as a pure sale that means highest bidder wins camper it has 2 beds but no mattress but everything else is there very clean now it set as a future sale here a once in lifetime opportunity to save thousands over new i wish i had some xtra cash to bid and win who knows the back story and who cares as long as you win auction it has been listed as a future sale now for about a month i have it as a watch list so i can see what it will sell for it might sale for 10k thats thousands saved over new

Shoowee! Too rich for me, but it is nice. I’ll be sticking with what I have, but I did look at fiberglass trailers before I finally decided upon my small Class C.
Sorry I don’t. But it would be interesting to hear what people think about their Oliver Trailer after a few years. Maybe someone who has an older Oliver will chime in!
There's a lot of features that other fiberglass trailer manufacturers should take note of. Prices on stick & staple RV's have gone through the roof due to covid-19 and supply chain issues. That said if you're already looking at 30k+ for a trailer certain items should be standard if not optional. I'm not a wet bath fan and so I'm waiting on the roll out of the Escape 23. Things like full extension drawers, soft close and serious on road latching systems are also important. Also a true 4 season trailer should be an upgrade as well. I'd like to hope manufacturers look at each others products and have some serious in-house round tables on improvements.
Jimo, I understand and agree that those features are very desirable (why I bought an Oliver) but most manufacturers build to a price point, and frankly, 30k now is the entry point of trailers. The hardest thing on your list is TRUE 4 season camping. To do that ALL plumbing, tanks, preferably all your mechanicals need to be in an interior, insulated, heated space. The way 99% of trailers are made, that is really not an option. Some high end 5th wheels and motorhomes do that but Oliver is the only trailer I know of that does this. There are a lot of people who claim there trailer is 4 season but if they don’t have the features I described, they are NOT 4 season.
I just want to say If your going to buy used, Oliver is one of the very few I would risk doing that because of the build quality. The vast majority of RV’s are not built to stand up to years of use, I know from personal experience that buying a used RV usually means buying a money pit.
And as far as trying to buy used to save money, Oliver’s typically sell at or a little more than their original price, so while yes perhaps you buy a three year old Oliver, you’ll pay the price from three years ago, personally I don’t see that as a huge price advantage over a new one. The biggest advantage is that you don’t have to wait a year for your trailer after you purchase it.
Good question and this video will tell you what you need to know to get your answer! What Size Travel Trailer Can My Vehicle SAFELY Tow? (In Simple Terms) th-cam.com/video/XyO4juiVDZE/w-d-xo.html
Good to know that "germs" is still just a theory....never been proven! It sure makes a lot of money for a select few and currently has all under total control !!! Not good!
That is not the base price, that is with Lithium batteries, the cell phone booster, electronic keypad lock, backup camera and display, the convection microwave, the upgraded water heater and ac, 3k2 inverter, 400 watts solar panels.
If you do win the lottery someday… buy me one too! The Oliver Legacy Elite 2 trailers are very impressive trailers and I could appreciate the quality build which is what I love most about my Little Guy Max trailer. 😊
Thanks for pointing that out, it's important to stay informed about price changes. Unfortunately I think all RVs have increased in price due to demand and part shortages. I hope prices turn around for all of us.
good video but the background music was annoying and just makes it harder to concentrate what is being said. i don't think anyone coming here to watch this video is just hoping you'll play music.
Apparently they can. Oliver has a waiting list six months deep. They can't even carry stock trailers because they get sold as soon as they are available.
✅ YAY OR NAY!!! Do YOU THINK the Oliver Legacy Elite ii is WORTH IT??? 😮
nay too expensive for me. We love our Sunset TT for 1/3 of that price. If they love it, good for them.
@@elizabethlaundra6481 Yes… price not for everyone but fun to peek inside! 😊
I love peeking inside others RVs!
Yay! Definitely worth it.
No question.
I help build the Oliver in the plant. They are beautiful campers and so happy to see so many people enjoy them!
How fun Kristine! They are beautiful campers! 😁

A little too steep for my budget. 2022 models are starting at $65K, and I know the Max jumped substantially this year too (got my 2019 for about $33 brand new, now seeing them go for $42 brand new). Also, for those wondering, this trailer runs about 7000 lbs GVWR and 4900lbs dry.
It’s crazy how much RV prices have increased. I never would have expected my 3 year old Little Guy Max to be worth today what I paid for it 3 years ago!
We bought our 2022 LGM RR for 34 and have seen them going for over 40. It’s a weird time to buy a rv.
@@Carolann_237 It sure it!
Actually the closet in person is quite spacious, it’s deceiving because the floor of the closet is quite a bit lower than the floor your standing on. You are right there are many many small thoughtful features that are very well thought out like the fact that while the tanks, electrical, mechanicals etc are between the layers of fiberglass tubs, they are all easily accessible for repair
Thank you Randi for the tour! Im impressed with the Oliver Trailer but even the smaller single axle trailer is just a bit too heavy for me to tow with my vehicle, after doing my research. I’m not ready to upgrade my crossover suv. So I purchased a smaller tear drop trailer and will make that do for my adventures. But any one that can pull the Oliver it is a well built trailer and of course it keeps it value for resale. But you don’t find many used ones for sale. Most keep these for long term. 😊
I too was impressed with the Oliver trailer. It is so well built. I love that you bought a small teardrop! You have so many fun adventures ahead of you!!!! 🤣
That is a very nice camper trailer some day I'll get one thanks for video
I was impressed by the Oliver Legacy! 😁
It would definitely be worth it if they upgraded the suspension to make it more off road capable. Convert to independent suspension trailing arms with shocks, coils and airbags (like the Australian caravans) and we would be buyers. Every other component on the trailer and the overall construction is well worth $60K. The Australian caravans we're looking at (Kimberley, Bruder, Lotus, Kendron) are more than twice that amount!
I have not heard of the Australian trailers you mentioned. Bet they are pretty nice at those prices. 😁
Actually the suspension is much better than most trailers out there, there are four shocks as opposed to most that have no shocks. Full off road independent suspension would be great and heavy and expensive but these are definitely off road capable, rock crawling capable like some of the Australian units, no.
Shell within a shell fiberglass trailers like this one and other double shell makes/models command a serious price tag and it shows. If a single shell RV is good enough for you, pricing seems about half. This gives prospective buyers a distinct first choice to make... save money and have single shell (perhaps with carpeted wall) or go double. Viva la choice. The other BIG quality feature I very much like in the Oliver is the compartments are literally molded in and not fastened to the shell. That's a pretty serious quality feature that makes it worth the $60k (2023 even more).
So true! The bigger the price tag the better the quality. But, it's nice to have options because the most important thing is just finding the right camper trailer for you!
The inside is very futuristic. A bit like a space capsule. Wish the windows were bigger to see the great outdoors. Not much outside storage for items. Easy to clean but not a lot of opportunity to customize. Looks well built.
It does look futuristic Maria!
You get what you pay for. We have an appointment to see one in person tomorrow.
You sure do. Let me know what you think of it when you see it in person!
Will do.
We attended the Tampa RV Show. It was overwhelming! The Oliver was the highest quality we saw. The only thing I didn’t like about it was how small the Elite II felt compared to an Airstream or an InTech of similar size. If we buy a trailer it will be one of those three. I looked at the builds from the point of view of an experienced boater. To me Oliver seems bomb proof. Just wish it was roomier.
It’s a beauty for sure.
I thought so too!
Oliver travel trailers are definitely the best. However, for $60,000.00 plus, a dry bath option would be nice.
It was fun touring this Oliver trailer! I wonder if space is why it has a wet bath?
@@RandisAdventures Definitely it is.
7:54 the look on her face when he mentions quitting camping 🙃
😁 Yep! She (and me too!) wouldn’t want to give up the joys of camping! 💙
Sweet Mother of Pearl!!!! No way The Lovely Bride and I would pay that much for a trailer we would only be using once in a while with a price tag nearly what we paid for our three-bedroom house and close to three acres of land. I see a pop up or fold down in our future.
Pop-Up campers are great too! It’s all about the adventure and spending time outdoors with family and friends! 👍
8:10 Well I guess the resell value isn't holding in this 2022 environment, but so what while "you all" have fun!
2022 has been a crazy year! But yes, I did have fun meeting my camping neighbor and snooping inside their trailer! 👍
Best travel trailer made period.
I could feel the quality of it the moment I stepped inside!
This will be my next trailer.
The Oliver sure is a great trailer!
How heavy is it and what’s your hitch weight?
Hi there Ed! This trailer weights 4,900 lbs. sorry but I don’t know the hitch weight. Hopefully someone else does and will chime in! 😁
It fits nicely on f150 4x4 for us, I've also seen it used with the m350 bluetec mb suvs and various other pickups and decent suvs. GVWR 7,000 lbs 4900 dry with no options. 5300ish dry optioned up.
Sorry I'm not daddy-war-bucks. I am very happy with my 2017 Prowler 272LX. That I did not have to sign over my firstborn for. Unrelated question: I heard that Little Max screens in front rip, and tear easily?
Hey Jim! My screens have not ripped or torn but I could see how that might happen.
Okay…please, everyone, give me your thoughts on this question. The Oliver or the Bigfoot? It seems to me the Bigfoot is much roomier, has a dry bathroom, and is similarly priced. Thoughts?
Is it got for hot weather. Temperature 45 c° qnd dusty environment? How is the air-conditioning performance? Can I take this trailer over sand dunes? Thanks for the lovely video.
Hi! These are great questions but because I don’t own an Oliver I don’t have answers for you. Sorry. Hopefully an Oliver Legacy owner will chime in! 😁
Yes it's good for that however you'd need to blow out the dust sometimes and you'll wear out the air conditioner faster.
Thank you for this! I’ve been drooling over casitas for years but my search just expanded. 😂 What a gorgeous trailer. I’m a single mom with a 6 year old daughter and this would be perfect for us. Just sent an inquiry. 😊 Does anyone know how long he wait list is right now?
Sorry I don’t know how long the wait list is… maybe someone else does and will chime in. This will be a nice trailer for you and your daughter!
About 11-12 months. IMHO Casitas and escapes are good beginner fiberglass trailers, this is what you want when you get serious
Bummer it cant sleep 4. If it did, I'd buy one in a heartbeat. They should figure a new layout to accommodate a family of four. homerun.
It's definitely a bummer when a great camper trailer doesn't meet all your needs. Maybe they'll come out with one that also offers bunk beds!
The battery tray; Nice!
Yep! The battery tray on this Oliver trailer is really cool! 😎
Well worth the price. The owner is correct, you can resale them for almost what you paid for it.
I could feel the quality of the Oliver!
I wonder how a fiberglass trailer stands up in cold weather camping? Some say they aren’t good for that as little insulation.
It depends how it is built. The Oliver has two hills,an inner and outer,and is insulated. Your typical fiberglass trailer from Jaeco,etc is poorly insulated
Worth it? Maybe but I found some feature to be weird like the privacy shades and the tv locations.
He said it was a four season trailer. Were the tanks inside somewhere?
I liked the storage and the twin bed set up. But I still like my LGM better.
Hey Carol! My understanding is the tanks are enclosed between the shells which helps them from freezing. The 4 season feature is something I liked about the Oliver Legacy.
Carol, the Oliver is basically a shell within a shell, it’s built like a yeti ice chest with insulation and an air space between the shells for better performance in more extreme weather. That space is heated and that is where the tanks are located. Thus giving the true 4 season ability. Many people claim there rig is four season, but if they don’t have there tanks inside, heated and insulated, it’s not true 4 season. The real magic is that it was designed in such a way as everything between the two shells is easily accessible for service. Just curious, why did you find the privacy shades weird? They actually were a big selling point for me, good looking, the fiberglass surround was very well done, attractive and keeps the shades from bouncing around while driving as many of my past rigs have done. Not sure given the floor plan where would be better for the TV so it could be seen by anywhere in the rig but I doubt I will ever use it so it doesn’t bother me personally.
@@bradarmstrong7467 I found the blinds unusual because the privacy comes down for the top. That is opposite of most privacy shades. I like being able to pull mine up just enough so no on can see me but I can still let air in.. Beautiful trailer!
@@Carolann_237 the shades are easily removed and flipped to provide the feature you mention
Will Oliver ever manufacture truck campers for off road camping?
Good question!
Copart in Alabama has a 2022 oliver legacy elite 2 for sale as a pure sale that means highest bidder wins camper it has 2 beds but no mattress but everything else is there very clean now it set as a future sale here a once in lifetime opportunity to save thousands over new i wish i had some xtra cash to bid and win who knows the back story and who cares as long as you win auction it has been listed as a future sale now for about a month i have it as a watch list so i can see what it will sell for it might sale for 10k thats thousands saved over new
Prices gone up....starting at $95,000. You can find cheaper trailers....if you got the money and you want quality, then this is for you!
Better and cheaper than an Airstream all day
Pretty nice looking RV looks like Scamp has some competition LOL👍👍
The Oliver is pretty snazzy! 😁
Scamp is cheaper than dirt relative to these. They do not compete.
What are you pulling that with?
I'm not sure what their tow vehicle was.... But if you want to learn what your vehicle can tow this video breaks things down in easy to understand terms: th-cam.com/video/XyO4juiVDZE/w-d-xo.html&si=EnSIkaIECMiOmarE
Look at Lance our Lance 1995 with the slide out has over 40 sq ft of floor area, you could have a dance in there
I'm the wanna be “dancing queen!”
Shoowee! Too rich for me, but it is nice. I’ll be sticking with what I have, but I did look at fiberglass trailers before I finally decided upon my small Class C.
You know me…. Smaller is always better!
The T@Bs are pricey, too, but part of that is you're 'paying' for the ability of a lower weight.
Better quality trailers are always going to cost more. 😌
That’s a lot for a camper but I like the Touch lights
The touch lights were cool!
Do you a view with older models. I’d love to see how people feel about them after a few years.
Sorry I don’t. But it would be interesting to hear what people think about their Oliver Trailer after a few years. Maybe someone who has an older Oliver will chime in!
How about Outdoors RV in Oregon?
Nice trailer but not too fond of the wet shower.
There's a lot of features that other fiberglass trailer manufacturers should take note of. Prices on stick & staple RV's have gone through the roof due to covid-19 and supply chain issues. That said if you're already looking at 30k+ for a trailer certain items should be standard if not optional. I'm not a wet bath fan and so I'm waiting on the roll out of the Escape 23. Things like full extension drawers, soft close and serious on road latching systems are also important. Also a true 4 season trailer should be an upgrade as well. I'd like to hope manufacturers look at each others products and have some serious in-house round tables on improvements.
Jimo, I understand and agree that those features are very desirable (why I bought an Oliver) but most manufacturers build to a price point, and frankly, 30k now is the entry point of trailers. The hardest thing on your list is TRUE 4 season camping. To do that ALL plumbing, tanks, preferably all your mechanicals need to be in an interior, insulated, heated space. The way 99% of trailers are made, that is really not an option. Some high end 5th wheels and motorhomes do that but Oliver is the only trailer I know of that does this. There are a lot of people who claim there trailer is 4 season but if they don’t have the features I described, they are NOT 4 season.
We thought we had made our mind up on an Airstream. We bought the Ollie after touring the factory
Are you loving the Ollie???
I love fiberglass RVs. Yes! But buy used.
That’s a great idea Suzanne!
They come up from time to time on the Oliver owner’s forum but they go fast !
@@texasguy3031 Thanks for the info!
I just want to say If your going to buy used, Oliver is one of the very few I would risk doing that because of the build quality. The vast majority of RV’s are not built to stand up to years of use, I know from personal experience that buying a used RV usually means buying a money pit.
And as far as trying to buy used to save money, Oliver’s typically sell at or a little more than their original price, so while yes perhaps you buy a three year old Oliver, you’ll pay the price from three years ago, personally I don’t see that as a huge price advantage over a new one. The biggest advantage is that you don’t have to wait a year for your trailer after you purchase it.
Can i pull this with my 1500 gmc duramax diesel 2023
Good question and this video will tell you what you need to know to get your answer! What Size Travel Trailer Can My Vehicle SAFELY Tow? (In Simple Terms)
th-cam.com/video/XyO4juiVDZE/w-d-xo.html
You get what you pay for
This trailer looks great made and I didn’t hear anything bad about that trailer
It was fun to snoop inside this Oliver! It looked well built with a nice layout.
now I no longer wonder why there is no price list available
They aren't cheap but from the people I've talked to the Oliver Legacy has been worth the price.
About 80k in 2024. I keep looking for the gold and jewel encrusted lapis lazuli the trailer features to justify that price.
Given it’s construction and durability, I don’t think $60k is that bad.
Buying a quality built travel trailer will save every RV owner a lot of headaches and repair costs over time!
Sorry but for the PRICE, No Hut with Exit Vent over the Stove?
Come on, It's Not Serious! Not for me! Thank-You!
A 23 and a half foot trailer should have a separate bath and toilet, especially for that price.
I get what you are saying.... but that does mean you'd lose space somewhere else. 🤔
Pretty sure the Elite II with all of the options is now over $100K.
I like the sterile white fiberglass walls, ceiling, cabinets, etc. No colors or textures to distract you or to hide, ugh, germs.
I liked the clean look too!
Good to know that "germs" is still just a theory....never been proven! It sure makes a lot of money for a select few and currently has all under total control !!! Not good!
i just looked them up and none of them were under 100,000 no way
RV prices have been on the rise for sure!
February 2023...base price is $91,000
Ouch!
That is not the base price, that is with Lithium batteries, the cell phone booster, electronic keypad lock, backup camera and display, the convection microwave, the upgraded water heater and ac, 3k2 inverter, 400 watts solar panels.
You should price a 23 Airstream...............
The Cadillac Of RVs!!!
LOL
The wet bath is a no way for me.
I didnt win the lottery this past week unfortunately so im not even gonna look at this 60k trailer. On to the next
If you do win the lottery someday… buy me one too! The Oliver Legacy Elite 2 trailers are very impressive trailers and I could appreciate the quality build which is what I love most about my Little Guy Max trailer. 😊
Yikes!! It is beautiful though!
It was beautiful!
Same price as an Airstream Bambi but twice as big.
Great video! Like 91
Thank you 🤗
Yes expensive but is it worth it? Probably not.
Hate wet bath
I have a wet bath 🛁 in my Little Guy Max and I don’t mind it.
Perfect RV in quality, features, etc. But the deal breaker - - wet bath. Wife won't tolerate a wet bath.
It's very nice, but I'll stick with my Casita and 30+K in my pocket.
Hey Rose! I have been in a Casita before and they are great fiberglass campers for sure!
Good for warm times and places
$60K my butt, they've jumped the price by $40K since this was posted. Totally not worth $100K now.
Thanks for pointing that out, it's important to stay informed about price changes. Unfortunately I think all RVs have increased in price due to demand and part shortages. I hope prices turn around for all of us.
A lot more affordable than an Airstream
That's true!
good video but the background music was annoying and just makes it harder to concentrate what is being said. i don't think anyone coming here to watch this video is just hoping you'll play music.
I appreciate your honest feedback!
60k? *Faints
😁
$ 60 000 2 years ago. today Mars 2024 it is more $ 100 000
It's crazy how quickly prices have increased for all RVs!
But the Oliver Legacy Elite seems to be a good product
Never take advice from a fellow with a gin blossom!
This is a nice camper. But it cost way to much. People just cannot afford this type of money.
This Oliver trailer is expensive but it was pretty cool!
Apparently they can. Oliver has a waiting list six months deep. They can't even carry stock trailers because they get sold as soon as they are available.
@@chrisneuhaus7188 They have a couple right now.
Please please please can you stop that irritating background music so I can hear what y’all are saying thank you
You Need To Take Out A Mortgage!!!
NO!
Nay!!!!!!!!!!
Hefty price tag but quality built with lots of features!
Not worth it. Highly overpriced like everything else.
I get that. Today's prices are hard to digest.
No grossly overpriced, not airstream
Thats insane!!!!!
20k max. 60k is absolutely insane and major price gouging!!!!!🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬💔💔💔💔👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎
You got ripped off.
