Thanks for watching!
Oliver trailers are expensive, but if it's your home it's totally worth it, and not that expensive compared to an actual house. I think Oliver is the best of all the live-in-it-full-time fiberglass camper trailers. I love how neat and clean this gentleman keeps his home, and I'm glad he travels with a dog.
I like to put it into perspective for folks that are trying to compare to the stick and staple trailers. An Oliver will retain it's original value for years if well maintained. But here's a good comparison. A nice fiberglass bass boat will cost just as much or more, and thousands are sold every year just to go fishing. Your Oliver is a second or maybe even primary home when you buy it.
I love our Ollie, it’s a bit tight for two of us with two big dogs, but it’s so well made and efficient. Like many, we came from the Airstream community.
Oh this is very nice. Beautiful trailer. We live full time in a 33ft 5th wheel. Actually Bob was the man who helped me talk my husband into full-time RV living. We gave our son our big house and even left the furniture lol I took more than I really wanted and have a now smaller storage unit, soon everything will be gone, I feel lighter without tons of things. I was once a shopping nut lol stopped that and saved so much . I cook inside everyday, I've learned to use the space well. I always thought why are we living in a big house ? Our oldest son needed a house, our grandchildren deserve a nice home and our son was priced out of housing. My husband and I could have sold our home " we were 40 miles " north east " of Washington DC, housing prices were skyrocketing, so when we had so much our son needed we were so happy to help. The big move included my husband taking a job transfer from Charles Town West Virginia lol we moved too Terrell Texas and onto family property, we have electric, water and sewer. I learned so much from Bob Wells.
Thank you Bob and Brian for this absolutely gorgeous Oliver tour!🌷
Absolutely I can imagine being out in subzero temps camping. Whatever I decide on must be 4 season. What I don't handle well is the heat.
I'm with you, Margaret!
I imagine going to the northwoods with my sleddogs in the winter.
Best part to me about cold weather camping is the lack of bugs !
It would be perfect! He also has storage in his truck, too, so bonus. I love this trailer. Thank you for the tour and happy adventures to Bob.
We have the same Oliver, except the twin bed model. There are some important features not fully explained in this episode. With it’s 4 shells (2 upper and 2 lower) all plumbing and electrical lines, along with the insulation are between the shells and accessible for maintenance/repair. That way there is nothing dangling below the camper. There is NO wood in the camper except the Oliver built, dovetailed drawers. So, with the floor being vinyl covered fiberglass, there is nothing to rot if there is an interior plumbing leak. When I picked ours up in January of 2021, it was snowing and that evening it was 21°. I found a boondocking spot, set the furnace to 65° and slept well that night. Our Oliver is everything we need and nothing we don’t. We love it.
Thank you for this additional information!
Deisel heater?
This is the best travel travel trailer ive ever seen. Excellent. Love everything.about this trailer. Where do you buy this oliver at. This exact trailer and the cost. I want one. The quality is no.1. You pay for what you get. What is the size of this trailer. The length. Whata trailer. The gentleman owner is super. He explained everything in detail. He has a beautiful voice. The oliver legacy 4 season trailer is for 2 people and a king size bed. Wow.wow.wow.wow. thank you. Love this type of videos. A big fan jan from texas.
Love the trailer!
TY for this additional info! Would you mind sharing what one of these costs? Its exquisite!
That is the most amazing trailer. I like the see thru cabinets, the white walls and abundance of windows. It’s also cool that they offer a composting toilet. Such an incredible tour Brian!
Love this trailer! Would def be comfortable staying in this trailer during cold months.
I loved Bob's awesome Oliver. The trailer is so equipped and beautiful.
Oliver,the finest travel trailer available today.
Nice work.
Clearly, this is a very well constructed travel cabin, a real joy to own and to live in.
It is easy to see why the owner chose this to be his home!
I just love the people we met here living the minimalist vehicle lifestyle. They are just as important to see as the vehicles.
I had a casita in 21 loved it but the Oliver is like casita on steroids ! Definitely my next camper !
That's a nice travel trailer. Great video Brian and CRVL Crew. Thank you. ❤❤❤
Love your home. Thank you for sharing with us. I wonder where you are from originally. I am 71 years living in SWAustralia in Dalyellup with the Indian Ocean and southern forests. It is very beautiful. I am originally from BangorNorth Ireland first 21years and 9 years England andr rest here. I am unable to work out your accent - it is a lovely one by the way. Anyway safe and fun travels to you from Shirley. Shalom
What a sweet unit! I'd like to see this one motorized.
Great video featuring a nice full-timer in an Oliver LE2. We will be taking possession of Hull #1373 in a couple weeks. First stop will be the annual Oliver Rally at Lake Guntersville, AL the following week. Can't wait to meet lots of fellow owners and enthusiastic hopefuls.
Thank you, Brain and Bob! Beautiful and functional travel trailer!
The Oliver is very beautiful I've never seen one before, but I'm just learning that it's so many ways to live the Nomadic life, but this gives you all the comforts of home. Very fancy 👌 thanks Brian safe travels everyone.
boy oh boy, now thats nice!
Looks like a dream camper 😊
I must say...I love this!!!! And a great interview!
I love his trailer, it fits him perfectly
And that - would be my dream RV. There isn’t anything about it that I don’t love. Such a beautiful home.
Sweet home on wheels, love the trailer it’s really great it has everything and the fact that it’s 4 seasons definitely a win win! Thank you for sharing your home with us.
That's a beauty. Travel safely & be well
wow this sounds like the ultimate trailer!
Absolutely beautiful! Miss Bob but you are doing a great job. Thank you🌸
Thanks for sharing, I wish you had talked more about what makes the Oliver a 4 season camper.
Excellent information , I never saw one of those Oliver , thanks for the video,
Love the tour of this unit as it definitely has the room I'm looking for in a travel trailer and definitely would be my choice over a Casita.
We really like our Oliver Hull #634!
cleanest walls I've ever seen. I wish I could get my place as clean!!!!!
I LOVE this "Oliver", and I'd go for the king bed too! I'm going to check into this, thank you for sharing
Loved that camper, so nice and bright inside!
Im a woman 72 single and want one of these. I love camping. Love mt camping shows too.
He seems like such a delight!
Love love love it! We recently orders a Casita, and maybe some day we (or I) will upgrade to an Oliver. It is probably the only other travel trailer I would like to upgrade to after the Casita.
I would absolutely be very much at home in that trailer. I’d have to learn to tow though.
Towing forward is easy. Backing up may take a little practice but it is hardly brain surgery.
I totally would love to camp in this Oliver RV.🥰 Enjoyed it.😍 💕 Ty for sharing.😊
That is a beautiful rig.
Great looking camper
My favourite trailer! Congrats!
Love this thank you.
Lovely trailer Mr ❤
My goodness. What a palace.
Love this one. Perfect.
Those Oliver's are very nice.
Very cool
Love it!
Awesome home certainly top of the line.
Very nice tour and very nice man. Thank you
And a very good set up. Made in Tenn. $
Nice rig.
Wow, congratulations, well done ,thanks for sharing. Greetings from beautiful Hawaii islands ⛵️ 🏝
Awesome trailer!
My dream rv😍😍
The Oliver trailer is gorgeous inside and outside, and total quality. The only drawbacks are there expensive, quality always costs more, and its a little tight inside the trailer.
I think that is the best way to go. To have a 4 season home.
I would love to have one of those, this i don't think I'd be hanging out in a snow storm in colorado! Thank you for the video!
Wow - this is an CRVL instant classic. Oliver's decisions, clearly top shelf, are so informed. If I read the CC with no audio, I would assume he's a guy who is desert SW born and raised. I was actually shocked when Brian's question re: battery capacity stumped him. Keep raising that bar. Info is absolutely essential in the off-road world. Off to humbly prep my Subie for a CO adventure.
I met Bob at an Xscapers event. Super guy. Originally British but lived and worked many years in New England.
This is very nice. I couldn't help but smile at the cute dogs having their meet-and-greet outside the window. Helicopter tails! 💜
Very amazing how it's set up ty u don't have to worry about too hot or cold
Very nice!
I'd place a couple of reflective strips on the lower rear bumper...just to let people know
"Hey , I'm sticking out a bit back here",
Beautiful!!
When I’m ready I’m buying an Ollie
Really nice setup.
very nice
Good morning, Brian.
It's more than CAMPING in this, it's full time living in comfort.
This is very nice~
Great trailer! Did I miss the bathroom?
Nice camper.
Very cool trailer, love it!
Wow, that is nice. 👍
I want one.
Very cool camper
That’s a nice rig!
Have they fixed the heater issue. A family member said his heater would over heat and turn off. He looked into it and there seemed to be no reasonable fix? Maybe the newer models have remedied it.
I heard from people, it's getting harder to find a spot, to boomdock anymore...The parks, that do have hookups and a spot to camp.. many of them are booked up, to a year in advance!
Great set up and story .... I'm from the UK and was trying to work out where Bob's accent was from ..... sounds quite English with a South African twang ,,, anybody know
💛💛💛
Beautiful and well made. BUT a unit of this quality should have a real bath not wet one. Deal breaker for us. Tks for tour.
Really nice home! You have just about everything!
Wow. The 5.7 Hemis I've looked at would be overloaded towing that for sure. The payload capacity is only rated for around 1,500 lbs. with 700+ lbs. of tongue weight for that size Ollie, and so everything else I would put in the truck, including my own weight, any passenger, fuel, luggage, tools, spare, etc., would have to total less than 800 lbs.
Plus, I never understood Oliver claiming 4-season, unless we're talking central to southern US with just moderately cold nights. The dual-layer shell just has this thin bubble-wrap type sheeting in-between and that's it. If it was rated independently, I'm guessing the whole assembly might come up to an R-7 or R-10. That's way too low for a true 4-season to be comfortable on a bitter winter's night in the north, and having to use a lot of energy just to keep it thawed out. (For comparison, DRV walls use around 3 inches of wool plus a thermal break to prevent the aluminum from transferring heat or cold to the interior.)
Also, Jason Essary at Oliver said a few years ago that they were using common Dexter axles on these, so they definitely have steel parts that can rust, and with the frame being aluminum, also have a dissimilar-metals threat to overcome at that connection.
Finally, after spending that much money, it's a wet-bath design like the cheapest and smallest campers out there, not a shower. It's a great aesthetic, but I personally couldn't pay that kind of money just for the sake of slick design--same with Airstream.
99% of the Oliver Trailers are sold before they are made and they have a 5-8 month wait when ordering. No camper is truly arctic rated. To qualify as four season, one only needs to be able to stay functional at below freezing temps. Even your home will freeze up if you don't spend hundreds of dollars a month heating it. Of course this camper has limitations. But many Oliver owners camp regularly in sub freezing temps with water in tanks. You have to take precautions just like you do a home in winter temps. If you don't own one, it's only hearsay.
Every vehicle on the roads has steel running gear and suspensions. This camper has an all aluminum frame, and very substantial at that. It has a hot dipped galvanized steel sub-frame that the running gear mounts to, just like many boat trailers. This trailer will outlast the original owners if properly maintained.
Many Oliver LE2 owners pull their trailers with properly equipped mid sized SUVs and pickup trucks with no issues and are all legal.
The Oliver LE2 costs no more than a typical well made 20ft speed boat and thousands of those are sold every year. I nice bass boat will cost just as much.
Ty sir
Best check out lil snoozy campers
very cool.
fabulus machine, but you should talk about the price, it is top quality and we would like to have ideas of cost
I looked at those trailers, but wow, the cost about 60K. I notice the storage door is not insulated, so is it really 4 season? 4 season to me means Winter with 15F and under. Plus you have to add your tow vehicle to the expense. They are nice!! What kind of batteries are those?
Thanks for the cost info. I'll pass.
How would this last in Alaska?
Nice 👍
i wish you would have focused more on the four season aspect of the rv. i bought an all season trailer and it was a joke.
What was the coldest he's had to deal with? Could it stand -30F with high winds?
The furnace does a really nice job in the Oliver keeping things warm. It also warms the space between the hulls keeping the water and holding tanks warm. So it is certainly possible.
How many miles per gallon when pulling the trailer ?
Aluminum does rust. It's just different. It's called oxidation and it becomes brittle and snaps. Seen many broken aluminum frames.
What kind of paint to stop oxidation?
Aluminum is less weight however it does have several draw backs. Do much Research to know pros and cons.
Everything corrodes or oxidizes, even plastic which is considered a rust free material. I had a canoe that I bought when I was a teenager. I owned it for over forty years and it sat most of those years under a row of trees in the back yard, never once stored inside. I gave it a good washing and sold it for more than twice what I paid for it a couple years ago. It looked the same the day I sold it as it did a year after I bought it. Oliver has no known failures of any off their trailer frames to date. Other trailer brands with steel frames have multiple cracked frames recorded every year. There are multiple thousands of aircraft that are 50 plus years in service and made almost entirely of aluminum. Most aircraft sit on tarmacs their entire life exposed to the elements. Aluminum is a very durable and strong material when is come to corrosion resistance.
What year is his Ram Hemi 5.7L 1500 Truck?
Awesome, 👍😊👌🙌🇭🇷
