WOW Liz, all of us here at Oliver thank you for your video and all of the comments below from all people that found the Oliver Travel Trailer! We have and will continue to work hard and strive to deliver one of the best travel trailers on the market. We are a family owned and operated company in the small country town of Hohenwald, Tennessee and we put great importance on quality as well as making sure our customers get everything they deserve in a luxury product. Have a great weekend y'all!
It was my pleasure to feature your company! Clearly y'all are doing it right~! Feel free to share this video or post it on your channel. And keep up the good work!
Please keep up the good and honest work. Don’t make things over complicated and prone to break. I am considering getting your trailer after this video 😊 (From CA)
In 2018, my wife and I visited the Oliver factory. Their build process was interesting. If I was going to travel extensively in a camper, I would buy an Oliver.
Fantastic, false marketing. How thick is your “4-season” insulation at that price? At what temperature do the waterlines freeze back in that little garage? You just have to pray that nobody here reads the owners’ forums too carefully. 😳🧐
I think what Oliver is doing is pretty smart. I'm specifically referring to their construction model. To my mind they are basically building their RV's like a boat. This is smart because of all the movement and weather elements that other trailers just can't handle.
I agree. I have a fiberglass slide in shell converted to a truck camper. It's 11 years old and buffing out would make it look new. Built like a boat with stainless hardware. I'm looking at fiberglass trailers now. I wouldn't consider stick built anything except a house..
@@telcobilly Yeah it is pretty funny that most of the other RV manufacturers are trying to appease to people who want a house away from home instead of cluing them into the reality that the construction model is inherently very weak for the intended use. I understand why people want a spacious home away from home but if they understood the vulnerabilities they might see the light and instead opt for reliable and trouble free over convenience plus having their cake and eating it to. It is possible to build very good slide out's but to do so is to spend a lot more money than what these people are prepared for. I actually know this because I used to work in an industry that employed blowout 53 foot trailers for on venue site use. So in the final analysis the Oliver model is the prudent choice IMO. Maybe you should do an interview with Liz about your trailer, it might help a lot of people. Best wishes.
I would say the Canadians make better RVs than Americans do -- not TOO hard to do as most American RV makers are Crap-Makers (yet people still buy them anyway & keep them in business making crap). Also, some Canadian RV makers also have better warranties/Customer Care AFTER the sale compared to American makers. For examples, were I looking for a Class B, I'd be looking at Pleasure-Way or Panoramic RV. A small Class C? Probably Leisure Travel Vans & Triple E. A 4-Season TT? Bigfoot, Arctic Fox. There's not that kind of choice in America, even though there are LOTS of RV makers/brands available. They're USED to be, but most of them are gone -- the "Classics" from the 1960s/70s for example -- Argosy, Foretravel, Vogue, Beaver, Sportscoach, FMC, Travco, GMC -- and so on. Heck, even Airstreams were better made back then. Point is, were *I* buying an RV today, I'd be looking at Canadian makers first, and certainly because I think they make better (and true) "4-Season" RVs, too...as I'd want to use mine ALL year long, even in the Winter. ;-) -- BR
Yay, Steve. I look forward to following your adventures. Thanks again for being the impetus for this video and for all your hard work in making it happen Happy travels.
Ive had many RVs over the years. I have a class A and a travel trailer now and neither of them have slide outs. I will never own another rv with slides.
BRAVO Oliver!! 👏 At one point the bulk of companies in the USA were like Oliver. Now it's very rare to find this type of company that really looks after their customers & wants the best product on the market. What a great idea for a camp site right next to the factory. Thanks you Liz for this video.
There was a time when companies/investors were prohibited from monopolizing a market.That all disappeared in the '80s. Now all the good names get/have been bought up and turned into garbage with proceeds being divvied up between politicians and a handful of investors. It is refreshing to see a company that takes pride in their product.
@@carlbeaver7112 Carl you are correct. Same with the medical establishment. In the 1980's Bush Sr allowed for University reserach labs to profit off of medical reserach and that is when the rx drug market took off and now these companies want everyone taking multi Rx for life instead of changing a person diet to heal their bodies. watch "dr fuell...mich grand jury day 1' = shocking vid exposing all of what I am talking about & how corrupt evil Fauic really is. WORTH YOUR TIME> take care.
The Oliver looks like a solid build. This is a company that does everything on its own, so they can be trusted. Finally, a trailer that we can rely on for once!!
Not many manufacturers allow you to come by and watch your trailer being made. So we toured the factory, ordered the trailer, then returned to watch it being made. We could talk with workmen and ask questions. Several weeks later we took delivery. The only changes from 2021 was upgrading the AC to a Truma, and “never lube” axles. I also added the Roadmaster Active Suspension to my half ton GMC, which eliminated the need for an Anderson hitch. An interesting fact is the design of the Oliver is that we found no no sway being passed by big rigs on the highway. This is our 5th travel trailer and out last. We found that the last four stick ones began falling apart around year 8 and were requiring constant maintenance.
Wow, thanks so much for taking the time to write this, Harry. Your comment is bound to help others. I had no idea you could watch your Oliver being made, how cool! Enjoy yours and see you out here!!!
We have hull #34, purchased in 2008, and have loved it ever since. It is very high quality, inside and out and because the Oliver company is so expert at the gel-coat finish, people often think ours is brand new or only a couple of years old. We do use a cover when we're not camping, and my husband is diligent about washing it thoroughly after each trip which helps keep the finish so shiny.
I don't mean to sound over dramatic, but seeing a video like this restores my faith in our country. Seriously, it makes me proud to be an American. Pride in craftsmanship, good honest follow-up service, and QUALITY! I'll be heading there next year when I buy my RV.
As an owner that knows many folks that work at and run the company, if you feel that good about Oliver manufacturing, wait until you take the tour and really get to know them. I promise, you will be impressed. They truly are a company of integrity and character. Please schedule a tour, you won't be disappointed.
We are molded fiberglass (egg) camper fans. We own a 2005 Casita that we purchased in late 2015 and have camped over 370 nights over the last 8 seasons. The Oliver is our aspirational trailer. We have toured the plant and attended two Oliver rallies. Great company and and amazing trailer!
What a pleasant surprise. So nice to see a manufacture that gets it. They have eliminated many of the failure points. Looks like the inside of a boat and there is nothing wrong with that. I recognize many of the latches and such. How about an update on what Miss Liz has been doing? Doesn't have to be anything long just an quick update. You blew past 100 quickly so congratulations on the continued growth.
I'm going to be doing a short video on my Community Page within the next week. Be sure to ring the bell as that's the only way you'll know when I post that. Or just keep checking the Community Page. Thanks for being here, Dan!!!
I picked up my LE II in May 2021 and very glad I went with Oliver. You can feel the quality of material used in the construction. While small it is very easy to tow and width allows for great visibility with 1/2 ton.
Yep, I mentioned a couple of weeks ago, the only way to stay dry in a trailer is to buy full fiberglass. Oliver is top of the line but Escape Trailers and Big Foot both out of Canada are other great options. Additionally, you could look at Casita and Scamp in the USA. When people wise up and stop buying the junk, only then will you get better quality out of the other MFGs. Period!
I have an Escape, made in B.C. They are single hull, so a lot lighter and a little less expensive. If you don’t need 4 season, they are a great option. Well made.
Olivers are super cute and they're one of my dream trailers, but they're also super expensive. Glad to hear that they're worth it! I looked at them when we still had a trailer and realized that for the same price we could get a Class B. And we were done with towing.
@@paulbuckner375 Fake news! What on earth are you looking at that would cost that much? The 23-footer starts at $95,000 - what options would take it up to $250,000?
As a former boater I love how they are made and if I were in the market for a TT - it would be the one. Another high quality trailer is Outdoors RV Manufacturing out of Oregon.
Northwoods & Outdoor RV’s are made in the same manufacturing facility and I have a 2022, Arctic Fox 22G as a full-time RV’er. Liz, take the Outdoors & Northwoods Manufacturing tour to see the differences. The manufacturer boasts of their trailers being a four-season with heated tanks and the freshwater tanks in some models of the Outdoor RV’s are 100 gallons, which is why I may upgrade to a model with the larger tanks, from my 50-gallon in a 22-foot trailer. Thompson RV has a TH-cam channel for more research. Stay safe and healthy.👍🏾✌️🏾
Thanks for the video Liz, We have had our Oliver just over 5 years and are very happy with it after probably 60,000 miles on our countries average to poor roads (yeah that means you Michigan). I really don't think there are any stick and staple trailers out there that could stand up to the ammount of punnishment our Oliver has experienced . Now don't get the idea that it is perfect. We have had a leaf spring break and just recently our backup camera stopped working. So just a reality check here. The solar panels work great as do the 4 AGM batteries. We have a 2000w inverter along with the Natures Head Composting toilet that lets us enjoy extended times boondocking out west.
this is how you change the rotten industry. Help folks see good and then those companies flourish while the bad ones loose sales . Best video you have made yet. good job
Thank you for this video. We have been following you for awhile now. Oliver is a fantastic trailer. In 2017, we started researching RVs. We looked at class A's to campers. We read about people's problems and how you were always fixing something. My wife discovered the fiberglass campers. We decided then we just needed a hotel room. We did not need to bring a house. We bought a Casita in 2019. We could not afford an Oliver. We have spent the summer on the road and used it a lot. Nothing has broken. I do easy and regular maintenance. Bigfoot and Escape are excellent quality. Why buy a Class A, B, or C? You lose your vehicle and camper if work needs to be done.
I've heard good things about Casita, had a friend who owned one. And I used to own a Bigfoot. Those fiberglass ones are a good way to go. Thanks for this!
We are taking delivery of our Ollie next Tuesday (23 Nov). Like the others I spent 6 months researching options. Our visit to a large RV show north of Baltimore cemented our decision to buy an Oliver LEII.
I have kept up with the Oliver for the past year. I have yet to hear anything negative about their quality. Pricey yes but like the old saying goes, you get what you pay for. I hope to have a Oliver one day. Thanks for the video. Enjoyed it.
My personal list is Oliver four seasons. Airstream three seasons. Brinkley for high-end living. Lance, Artic Fox, and Northern Lite for truck campers. Earth Roamers for folks with very deep pockets.
I agree except I have renovated an airstream and was surprised at the fragility of it. Granted it was an early 80's model it was leaky and very difficult to work on. For High-End, I would go with New Horizons if budget didn't exist.
Had a Casita....and sold it for more than I paid for it after owning for 6 years. Great little camper...loved the carpet on the wall...really insulated it and make it so quiet inside. The Torsion axle was really nice as well.
I’m a Texas Boy and always loved driving past the Casita Plant. Spent 3 hours in a Casita and was about to buy and my wife said check out the bed. Dang, did not fit. Getting an Oliver
Yep Liz they are great trailers. I’ve talked to a couple Oliver owners in person and got a tour inside one of thems trailer. I was blown away! Think of it, no rubber roofs, slide outs and all the other stuff. Easier to take care of too. Sure they don’t have real big trailers per say what many of us are accustomed to but Oliver’s are a trailer to put on your list if your shopping.
Two years ago we did exhaustive research on the size TT we wanted (18’). The range was $18k - $85k. We bought the $18k because our finances changed, but without a doubt the Oliver was by far the best in the field.
@@specag31no kidding, right? Pre-COVID I always had a range of $19-29K range for some pretty nice mainstream TT's. Those prices may have climbed a little, but now it's for the same trailers only they're now 4-5 years old used units.
I wondered when the RV industry was going to implement quality control. This addition costs much more but it is definitely worth it. I work in the aerospace industry which quality control is a major function. They will stop a multi million dollar section of the airplane and make sure any deficiencies are up to Engineering specification without any concern for output or schedule. RVs, like American car industries in the 70s, need a wakeup call and some steep competition. Nice job Oliver!
Great review! Over all we are satisfied with our 2021 Oliver but have encountered a few issues, season two a touch light stopped working a minor annoyance at best but a simple DIY repair. Season three a water leak at the top rear Oliver sign and a broken pex fitting coming off the water heater, both are DIY repairs, but a few dollars more for brass fittings would make that problem non existent. One thing I can say is Oliver service and parts department is always there for the customer.
The Oliver is a great fiberglass RV . I have a Casita fiberglass RV ! Love it and have had no issues with it ! Picked it up at factory three years ago ! They also don’t sell at dealership! Thanks for sharing Liz ! 👍😁
There is certainly Plenty to like about this format. All the time spent in studying RV quality issues has finally brought to this well-presented, informative place. Thank you, Liz.
Outdoors RV in Oregon builds a quality unit from the ground up including their own frame. More conventional in appearance, no slide outs. Limited dealers. Their website is very informative and I was able to see one in Central Texas where the Princess Craft RV Dealer in Round Rock, TX (just north of Austin) has been carrying the line for about 2 years. Well worth your time for a quality unit.
I just went into an Outdoors last week. I was all excited and it turned out that it didn't look any better than the others. I was looking at the Mountain Trail series ($75,000 for a 23ft trailer) and it was still all sticks and staples inside. I did appreciate the bigger tanks and other quality touches though. Thanks for your comment!
@@LizAmazing Glad you posted this Liz. I was heavily looking into Outdoors RV 19footer. I guess they arent as good as I thought if they are using staples like the rest of the garbage out there. Keep up the great work!!
My wife and I purchased an Escape 21 and have been traveling around the country full-time for the last two years with no problems. Fiberglass units are the way to go.
The only campers I would consider are the Oliver or the Cortes. Both fiberglass with high build quality. I personally preferred the Cortes a little better for our needs but both are excellent choices. Didn’t take very long to convince my spouse that either one would be better in the long run than the Airstream, just in quality of build and ease of maintenance alone.
What an uplifting video. Glad to see Oliver is doing what they say. Thank you for sharing. Everyone stay safe, warm, happy and healthy. From Henrico County Virginia
I was at Lake Guntersville State Park in Alabama when they had an Oliver owner appreciation weekend. Man, No manufacturer of any of my campers have done that. I looked at these things a lot over the weekend. WOW. When we buy our next one, It will be an Oliver. They care about quality and it shows. Others did in the past but I think Oliver is the only one that does now. Beautiful craftsmanship. Inside and out. The owners are so nice too.
Glad to hear you got to see first hand how owners feel about their Olivers. Yes expensive, but so many years of joy and satisfaction follow. If you love camping and travel, you really should find a way to get into an Oliver. Go take the factory tour, you will be amazed.
The equivalent to Oliver in the B+ and C motorhomes space is Coach House. They also use a one piece reinforced fiberglass shell and you order direct from the factory. They let you "camp" at their facility when you pick up your coach and try out all the systems. They have a very active and enthusiastic, loyal forum of owners. They are also a small company that only manufactures about 80 units a year and are located in Nokomis Florida.
Great video and happy customer stories of great craftsmanship. Super nice for a change. With all the problems in modern trailers these days, it is refreshing to hear about a quality manufacturer that really cares for customers.
I agree. It's not all bad news in the RV industry. In Canada there's a company called "Escape Trailers" that builds trailers very similar to this. I've also heard nothing but good things.
Liz thank you so much for posting this video. It has opened a whole new dynamic of options for me contemplating my decision moving forward. Also very much enjoyed your information concerning WiFi connectivity and the Starlink system. Great work! 😊
TrailManor and Lance are 2 great campers. I've owned both and used them hard (off road and boondocking mostly) with very few problems. Both are going to cost more, but are worth it. I have loved them both.
Lance got bought out by Rev Group in 2018. We've owned two Lance travel trailers ( 2013 and 2016) in the past. We are currently on all the Lance forums & FB groups researching before purchasing another. Lance's quality and customer care has gone DOWN HILL. They are still better built than like a Jayco for example, but the prices of Lances have doubled since our last one and the quality AND support has gone down hill. Sadly, Lance is not what they use to be and we will not be purchasing another one. We would love to buy and Oliver, but for our long term use, I can not do the wet baths. We are now looking at Bigfoot RV. If anyone has any feedback on Bigfoot RV please feel free to share. So far in my research, all Big Foot RV owners love them and think the customer support is excellent. My husband recently called Big Foot RV and they actually pick up the phone or call you back. While researching Lance again, we did not have the same experience with calling the factory with questions. While researching Lance, there's too many horror stories now for us to feel comfortable purchasing another one.
I’ve been full time in my airstream for 8 & half years now & Oliver is the only trailer I’ve seen where I’ve said to myself that one might be built better! Great video 😀
Kudos to Tennessee's Oliver for some really fantastic looking camper trailers! Very impressive! We really don't have any intention of camping at this stage of our lives, but if we did I can EASILY see Oliver being at the top of the list of potentials for us. Also, excellent video, Liz! Loving the consumer report nature of your series lately! Extremely insightful and really pleased to see you doing so well! Keep up the fantastic work!
OMG What refreshing video on quality built RV. I hope manufactures watch this. I wasn't looking for a travel trailer but I just might be now. Just incredible. Liz thanks for bring it forward.
Bravo Oliver! I really like the way you guys are doing business! Other manufacturers need to take note! Very nice to see. Thank you for sharing a great video Liz!
pretty awesome to see a company this focused on quality and low maintenance. i wish there were more floor plans but can appreciate keeping things relatively simple.
If you choose to purchase a class c motor coach, I highly recommend Coach House. After owning two Born Free coaches we decided to purchase a 27’ Platinum Coach House. We are very happy with the quality and service after the sell. They use a seamless fiberglass shell, are a small family owned business, all sales are factory direct, and are located in Nokomis, Florida. We are so happy to own and be ambassadors for Coach House.😊 Liz, best wishes for continued success on providing quality information for RV owners. Happy trails.
Quick plug for Rockwood Mini-Lite. My 2509S has been terrific. Dealer experience was good, trailer is flawless. I upgraded the TV and soundbar and replaced the Murphy bed mattress. Both were planned upgrades. Tows great. Workmanship is wonderful. Materials are excellent.
Oliver looks like a great brand! I would suggest we do an energy audit with a bigfoot owner and an oliver owner in cold weather....get an IR gun and put a blower door in the entry door. Put both rvs outside in cold weather but with heat on. Then use blower door to put interior in a vacuum. Measure air loss and also walk around and then on top and then under the rvs with an IR gun to see thermal envelope consistency. That is the only way i know to objectively demonstrate the build quality regarding thermal envelope and heat transfer etc. I have no data on either so this would be a great test for OEMs!
Oliver’s are great TT & quality but they need to increase their size for couples that want more space & privacy from bedroom area . Hopefully in the future they will make a 28-30 ft trailer . Thx for the info & video . Outdoor RV make a solid 4 season RV with slide outs too ! 👍⚾️
From what I'm reading they can't make fiberglass much bigger than that because of flexing issues. I have not heard this from Oliver, but just general research on fiberglass trailers. And, yes, I've heard good things about Outdoors as well!
It's the width that gets me, cant stand in the kitchen and pass by my spouse very easily. They seem really well made and are great looking trailers but I feel cramped in them.
We have an Airstream. We looked at an Oliver. The reason we didn't get one; it doesn't have a dry bath. Thank you for your channel. May Jesus continue to bless you and your family
With Oliver owners there's a saying that many of us express when someone makes a comment like yours, "everything you need and nothing you don't". Get in tough with the company and they can arrange for you to see an Oliver owned by someone in your area.
Looks like a no leak trailer. Good info Thanks , we were looking at Grand Design but on the lot it was leaking , new to. Once the dealer stated , no leak warranty . We said we're not buying anything until we found this vid. Thanks
I bought an Escape 21 a year ago. It’s molded fiberglass like the Oliver. Have had no issues with it. It cost less than a comparable Oliver. Not a knock on Oliver, they’re great campers for sure.
If you can, try to get one soon. Nothing is going to go down in price. But the good news is that this will continue to prop up the value of one that you own.
Finally a caravan builder going out side the norm and building a quality product and very proud off what their making and very buyer friendly thats fantastic 👏 wish they were in Australia 🇦🇺
Perfect type of camper to park on your land if you own acreage. This is marine grade quality construction. A Canadian truck camper company has similar design ideas for their construction but so much more space with this travel trailer. Thanks for posting this info..
i have a 2021micro mini winnebago 2108 fbs with a slide out dinette short queen bed, its all electric and i've had no problems in 3 years of camping in the winter LTVA desert. It's a third of the price of an Oliver, has far more room and storage. i also need a heavy innerspring mattress and my mini fits this perfectly. the oliver is nice but a pass for me and so far it was the right choice.
I looked very seriously at an Oliver this summer, but found a barely used 20' Airstream and have been very happy with it. There were a couple things the Airstream had over the Oliver, but that was just personal preference. Great Travel Trailer and great to see them in the RV Industry.
Our new camper had a punch list of over 20 repairs, it was unbelievable and took several trips to get it fixed. We finally just took it with 4 items left and I did those myself. We will never buy new again. It was a good price if there weren’t so much wrong with it. Heartland Prowler 195.

I'd buy an Oliver, but I own a Bigfoot. Any penatration is an opportunity for a leak, and EVERY penatration eventually needs maintenance. But a well made fiberglass body gives quality manufacturers a great platform to build on.
We bought an Alto from Safari Condo, a Quebec-based company in Canada. Like Oliver, you order from the manufacturer and then wait. When we bought ours it was a one year wait. Now it's almost a 3 year wait. They are definitely a quality product, produced in one factory by people who care and know what they are doing. Also found out lately that our 2 1/2 year old travel trailer had actually gone UP in value due to the demand for it. We love it!
We had a 35 ft. sailboat for 35 yrs. And decided to gat an rv. We looked at ALL the travel trailer that would work for us. Oliver was number one on our list as far as quality. We are both in our 70’a and have no children so we weren’t leaving a legacy. We are both big guys and even though the Oliver Legacy Elite II would accommodate us it was a bit too small for us. It is also pretty expensive. We ended up with a Grand Design 17MKE which is perfect for what we need but not nearly as well built as the Oliver trailers. Oliver’s are first rate if you’re not too big and have the money.
Wow, that's so great! I told Aaron I would get one as long as I have a separate place to eat, sleep and work. And a bigger black tank as a 15 gallon one won't cut it. He said the black tank would have to be bigger if they made a bigger trailer that was family friendly. So if Oliver ever does make a bigger one I would definitely be interested! Enjoy yours! Are you fulltime in it?
I'm sure glad people are enjoying their Oliver travel trailers and even more pleased to know that there is a manufacturer who is doing it right. That's encouraging. But I must say, I can't say much about the styling of those units. A stark white interior is not what I'm looking for in a trailer, but if that's what some folks want, more power to 'em!
I noticed some really cool and creative decor ideas on the Oliver Facebook page. Basically it's your own blank canvas. Thanks for watching, Pastor Paul.
Solid fiberglass trailers are the real deal. I spent a bit of time inside an Oliver Legacy Elite II last month You can tell Oliver has focused on using high quality components with excellent workmanship. Only downside to the Oliver I looked at is the limited headroom. The double shell, comes at the cost of interior space. and I sadly realized that I just didn't fit (I am 6'4" tall).
WOW Liz, all of us here at Oliver thank you for your video and all of the comments below from all people that found the Oliver Travel Trailer! We have and will continue to work hard and strive to deliver one of the best travel trailers on the market. We are a family owned and operated company in the small country town of Hohenwald, Tennessee and we put great importance on quality as well as making sure our customers get everything they deserve in a luxury product. Have a great weekend y'all!
It was my pleasure to feature your company! Clearly y'all are doing it right~! Feel free to share this video or post it on your channel. And keep up the good work!
Please keep up the good and honest work. Don’t make things over complicated and prone to break. I am considering getting your trailer after this video 😊 (From CA)
@@jun701 If you can find a way to get an Oliver you will love it. We'll never own anything else now that we have our Legacy Elite 2.
In 2018, my wife and I visited the Oliver factory. Their build process was interesting. If I was going to travel extensively in a camper, I would buy an Oliver.
Fantastic, false marketing. How thick is your “4-season” insulation at that price? At what temperature do the waterlines freeze back in that little garage? You just have to pray that nobody here reads the owners’ forums too carefully. 😳🧐
I think what Oliver is doing is pretty smart. I'm specifically referring to their construction model. To my mind they are basically building their RV's like a boat. This is smart because of all the movement and weather elements that other trailers just can't handle.
I was going to say it looked like my fiberglass pool. Still looking good.
Yes, it looks so good. Thanks for watching.
I agree. I have a fiberglass slide in shell converted to a truck camper. It's 11 years old and buffing out would make it look new. Built like a boat with stainless hardware. I'm looking at fiberglass trailers now. I wouldn't consider stick built anything except a house..
@@telcobilly Yeah it is pretty funny that most of the other RV manufacturers are trying to appease to people who want a house away from home instead of cluing them into the reality that the construction model is inherently very weak for the intended use.
I understand why people want a spacious home away from home but if they understood the vulnerabilities they might see the light and instead opt for reliable and trouble free over convenience plus having their cake and eating it to.
It is possible to build very good slide out's but to do so is to spend a lot more money than what these people are prepared for. I actually know this because I used to work in an industry that employed blowout 53 foot trailers for on venue site use.
So in the final analysis the Oliver model is the prudent choice IMO. Maybe you should do an interview with Liz about your trailer, it might help a lot of people.
Best wishes.

In British Columbia Canada we have BigFoot. Thumbs up to Oliver for manufacturing the best trailers they can. It's called integrity.
Right⁉️
Yes indeed. And I owned a Bigfoot at one time. Thanks for watching.
I would say the Canadians make better RVs than Americans do -- not TOO hard to do as most American RV makers are Crap-Makers (yet people still buy them anyway & keep them in business making crap). Also, some Canadian RV makers also have better warranties/Customer Care AFTER the sale compared to American makers. For examples, were I looking for a Class B, I'd be looking at Pleasure-Way or Panoramic RV. A small Class C? Probably Leisure Travel Vans & Triple E. A 4-Season TT? Bigfoot, Arctic Fox. There's not that kind of choice in America, even though there are LOTS of RV makers/brands available. They're USED to be, but most of them are gone -- the "Classics" from the 1960s/70s for example -- Argosy, Foretravel, Vogue, Beaver, Sportscoach, FMC, Travco, GMC -- and so on. Heck, even Airstreams were better made back then.
Point is, were *I* buying an RV today, I'd be looking at Canadian makers first, and certainly because I think they make better (and true) "4-Season" RVs, too...as I'd want to use mine ALL year long, even in the Winter. ;-)

We’ve had a Bigfoot truck camper and currently a 25ft trailer. They have been stellar in our 20 years of ownership.
@@billredding2000 arctic fox is made in the usa.
Thanks for this video, Liz! It was an honor to be a part of it and I’m glad your viewers got a chance to hear about the Oliver brand!
Yay, Steve. I look forward to following your adventures. Thanks again for being the impetus for this video and for all your hard work in making it happen Happy travels.
The fact that it's not loaded with a ton of electronics and slide-outs, keeps it simple and less to break
Yep, good point. Thanks for watching
Ive had many RVs over the years. I have a class A and a travel trailer now and neither of them have slide outs. I will never own another rv with slides.
Wonder how the Escape trailers stack up against the Oliver.
@stephanieellison7834 The only reliable cars are Toyota/Lexus. And Hondas
@stephanieellison7834 Plus they are not very roomy inside. Where is this fantastic place you moved to?
BRAVO Oliver!! 👏
At one point the bulk of companies in the USA were like Oliver. Now it's very rare to find this type of company that really looks after their customers & wants the best product on the market. What a great idea for a camp site right next to the factory.
Thanks you Liz for this video.
Thanks so much, Jan! I hope other RV mfrs sit up and take notice. Thanks for watching.
There was a time when companies/investors were prohibited from monopolizing a market.That all disappeared in the '80s. Now all the good names get/have been bought up and turned into garbage with proceeds being divvied up between politicians and a handful of investors. It is refreshing to see a company that takes pride in their product.
They are so amazing. However can't afford it .
@@carlbeaver7112 Carl you are correct. Same with the medical establishment. In the 1980's Bush Sr allowed for University reserach labs to profit off of medical reserach and that is when the rx drug market took off and now these companies want everyone taking multi Rx for life instead of changing a person diet to heal their bodies. watch "dr fuell...mich grand jury day 1' = shocking vid exposing all of what I am talking about & how corrupt evil Fauic really is. WORTH YOUR TIME> take care.
The Oliver looks like a solid build. This is a company that does everything on its own, so they can be trusted. Finally, a trailer that we can rely on for once!!
Yes indeed! Thanks for watching.
Not many manufacturers allow you to come by and watch your trailer being made. So we toured the factory, ordered the trailer, then returned to watch it being made. We could talk with workmen and ask questions. Several weeks later we took delivery. The only changes from 2021 was upgrading the AC to a Truma, and “never lube” axles. I also added the Roadmaster Active Suspension to my half ton GMC, which eliminated the need for an Anderson hitch. An interesting fact is the design of the Oliver is that we found no no sway being passed by big rigs on the highway. This is our 5th travel trailer and out last. We found that the last four stick ones began falling apart around year 8 and were requiring constant maintenance.
Wow, thanks so much for taking the time to write this, Harry. Your comment is bound to help others. I had no idea you could watch your Oliver being made, how cool! Enjoy yours and see you out here!!!
We have hull #34, purchased in 2008, and have loved it ever since. It is very high quality, inside and out and because the Oliver company is so expert at the gel-coat finish, people often think ours is brand new or only a couple of years old. We do use a cover when we're not camping, and my husband is diligent about washing it thoroughly after each trip which helps keep the finish so shiny.
Wow, what a great testimony to Oliver. Thanks for this, Elizabeth! Happy travels!
I don't mean to sound over dramatic, but seeing a video like this restores my faith in our country. Seriously, it makes me proud to be an American. Pride in craftsmanship, good honest follow-up service, and QUALITY! I'll be heading there next year when I buy my RV.
As an owner that knows many folks that work at and run the company, if you feel that good about Oliver manufacturing, wait until you take the tour and really get to know them. I promise, you will be impressed. They truly are a company of integrity and character. Please schedule a tour, you won't be disappointed.
We are molded fiberglass (egg) camper fans. We own a 2005 Casita that we purchased in late 2015 and have camped over 370 nights over the last 8 seasons. The Oliver is our aspirational trailer. We have toured the plant and attended two Oliver rallies. Great company and and amazing trailer!
Thanks for this, Dean!
@@LizAmazing very informative video. Kudos to you and your channel for highlighting the Oliver.
What a pleasant surprise. So nice to see a manufacture that gets it. They have eliminated many of the failure points. Looks like the inside of a boat and there is nothing wrong with that. I recognize many of the latches and such. How about an update on what Miss Liz has been doing? Doesn't have to be anything long just an quick update. You blew past 100 quickly so congratulations on the continued growth.
I'm going to be doing a short video on my Community Page within the next week. Be sure to ring the bell as that's the only way you'll know when I post that. Or just keep checking the Community Page. Thanks for being here, Dan!!!
I picked up my LE II in May 2021 and very glad I went with Oliver. You can feel the quality of material used in the construction. While small it is very easy to tow and width allows for great visibility with 1/2 ton.
Glad to hear this, not too many trailers are truly half ton towable. Thanks for watching and enjoy your Oliver!
Yep, I mentioned a couple of weeks ago, the only way to stay dry in a trailer is to buy full fiberglass. Oliver is top of the line but Escape Trailers and Big Foot both out of Canada are other great options. Additionally, you could look at Casita and Scamp in the USA. When people wise up and stop buying the junk, only then will you get better quality out of the other MFGs. Period!
Indeed! Thanks for this, and for watching.
Lance builds a quality trailer.
I have an Escape, made in B.C. They are single hull, so a lot lighter and a little less expensive. If you don’t need 4 season, they are a great option. Well made.
Casita is very high quality, even has fiberglass under floor, so no rot. It costs LESS THAN HALF of an Oliver.
Olivers are super cute and they're one of my dream trailers, but they're also super expensive. Glad to hear that they're worth it! I looked at them when we still had a trailer and realized that for the same price we could get a Class B. And we were done with towing.
Yep. Towing. But still, hard to put a price on quality. Thanks for being here through thick and thin, Trish!
Way over priced for working people. Buy a cabin and 20 acres instead. Cheaper than Oliver.
@@paulbuckner375 Fake news! What on earth are you looking at that would cost that much? The 23-footer starts at $95,000 - what options would take it up to $250,000?
As a former boater I love how they are made and if I were in the market for a TT - it would be the one. Another high quality trailer is Outdoors RV Manufacturing out of Oregon.
Yes, I've heard good things about Outdoors as well. Thanks for watching and commenting. Have a great weekend!
My husband and I talk about that all the time. I want a trailer built like our boat. Over 20 years old and hardly an issue
Northwoods & Outdoor RV’s are made in the same manufacturing facility and I have a 2022, Arctic Fox 22G as a full-time RV’er.
Liz, take the Outdoors & Northwoods Manufacturing tour to see the differences.
The manufacturer boasts of their trailers being a four-season with heated tanks and the freshwater tanks in some models of the Outdoor RV’s are 100 gallons, which is why I may upgrade to a model with the larger tanks, from my 50-gallon in a 22-foot trailer. Thompson RV has a TH-cam channel for more research. Stay safe and healthy.👍🏾✌️🏾
Thanks for the video Liz, We have had our Oliver just over 5 years and are very happy with it after probably 60,000 miles on our countries average to poor roads (yeah that means you Michigan). I really don't think there are any stick and staple trailers out there that could stand up to the ammount of punnishment our Oliver has experienced . Now don't get the idea that it is perfect. We have had a leaf spring break and just recently our backup camera stopped working. So just a reality check here. The solar panels work great as do the 4 AGM batteries. We have a 2000w inverter along with the Natures Head Composting toilet that lets us enjoy extended times boondocking out west.
Thanks so much for taking the time to share your experience, Ken. Sounds like overall it's been a good trailer for you. Enjoy!
this is how you change the rotten industry. Help folks see good and then those companies flourish while the bad ones loose sales . Best video you have made yet. good job
Thanks so very much Shawn! I sure appreciate your support and good cheer. Feel free to share this video.
Thank you for this video. We have been following you for awhile now.
Oliver is a fantastic trailer. In 2017, we started researching RVs. We looked at class A's to campers. We read about people's problems and how you were always fixing something. My wife discovered the fiberglass campers. We decided then we just needed a hotel room. We did not need to bring a house. We bought a Casita in 2019. We could not afford an Oliver. We have spent the summer on the road and used it a lot. Nothing has broken. I do easy and regular maintenance. Bigfoot and Escape are excellent quality. Why buy a Class A, B, or C? You lose your vehicle and camper if work needs to be done.
I've heard good things about Casita, had a friend who owned one. And I used to own a Bigfoot. Those fiberglass ones are a good way to go. Thanks for this!
We are taking delivery of our Ollie next Tuesday (23 Nov). Like the others I spent 6 months researching options. Our visit to a large RV show north of Baltimore cemented our decision to buy an Oliver LEII.
Yay! Congratulations, Aaron!
I have kept up with the Oliver for the past year. I have yet to hear anything negative about their quality. Pricey yes but like the old saying goes, you get what you pay for. I hope to have a Oliver one day. Thanks for the video. Enjoyed it.
Thanks Bob, so glad you are here! Have a great weekend!
My personal list is
Oliver four seasons.
Airstream three seasons.
Brinkley for high-end living.
Lance, Artic Fox, and Northern Lite for truck campers.
Earth Roamers for folks with very deep pockets.
Ooh, I love the Earth Roamers! Unfortunately I am hearing mixed reviews on the Brinkley lately. Thanks for watching.
I agree except I have renovated an airstream and was surprised at the fragility of it. Granted it was an early 80's model it was leaky and very difficult to work on. For High-End, I would go with New Horizons if budget didn't exist.
Had a Casita....and sold it for more than I paid for it after owning for 6 years.
Great little camper...loved the carpet on the wall...really insulated it and make it so quiet inside. The Torsion axle was really nice as well.
I’m a Texas Boy and always loved driving past the Casita Plant. Spent 3 hours in a Casita and was about to buy and my wife said check out the bed. Dang, did not fit. Getting an Oliver
@@TeaneyTCBMy Casita 17 Liberty Deluxe has a King Sized bed…don’t think you can get that in an Oliver.
Yep Liz they are great trailers. I’ve talked to a couple Oliver owners in person and got a tour inside one of thems trailer. I was blown away! Think of it, no rubber roofs, slide outs and all the other stuff. Easier to take care of too. Sure they don’t have real big trailers per say what many of us are accustomed to but Oliver’s are a trailer to put on your list if your shopping.
Definitely! Thanks for this.
Two years ago we did exhaustive research on the size TT we wanted (18’). The range was $18k - $85k. We bought the $18k because our finances changed, but without a doubt the Oliver was by far the best in the field.
It sure looks like it is! Thanks for your comment, John!
Wow, thats one heck of a range. What gives.
The range of standards and options, @@specag31
@@specag31no kidding, right? Pre-COVID I always had a range of $19-29K range for some pretty nice mainstream TT's. Those prices may have climbed a little, but now it's for the same trailers only they're now 4-5 years old used units.
Which one did you buy?
My niece from CA bought one of these last year after a very stressful experience with another brand. This is perfect for two people.
They sure look nice and I keep hearing good things about them. Thanks for watching, Cecilia.
I wondered when the RV industry was going to implement quality control. This addition costs much more but it is definitely worth it. I work in the aerospace industry which quality control is a major function. They will stop a multi million dollar section of the airplane and make sure any deficiencies are up to Engineering specification without any concern for output or schedule. RVs, like American car industries in the 70s, need a wakeup call and some steep competition. Nice job Oliver!
As long as people keep buying these stick trailers, they have no reason to change.
Yep, it's great to see a company doing it right. Thanks for watching, Paul!
Great review! Over all we are satisfied with our 2021 Oliver but have encountered a few issues, season two a touch light stopped working a minor annoyance at best but a simple DIY repair. Season three a water leak at the top rear Oliver sign and a broken pex fitting coming off the water heater, both are DIY repairs, but a few dollars more for brass fittings would make that problem non existent. One thing I can say is Oliver service and parts department is always there for the customer.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience. Glad to hear!
It so nice to hear that there is a company out there that valves making a quality product. Keep looking Liz
Yes indeed! Thanks for watching, Martin.
While travel trailers aren't my cup of tea, but those units looked awesome ❤❤❤ Happy Veterans Day as we remember those who & have served !!
Yes, Steve. Thanks so much. Big hugs to you!
Thank you !!
The Oliver is a great fiberglass RV . I have a Casita fiberglass RV ! Love it and have had no issues with it ! Picked it up at factory three years ago ! They also don’t sell at dealership! Thanks for sharing Liz ! 👍😁
I had a friend with a Casita, she was very happy! Thanks for your comment, Ralph!
There is certainly Plenty to like about this format. All the time spent in studying RV quality issues has finally brought to this well-presented, informative place. Thank you, Liz.
Outdoors RV in Oregon builds a quality unit from the ground up including their own frame. More conventional in appearance, no slide outs. Limited dealers. Their website is very informative and I was able to see one in Central Texas where the Princess Craft RV Dealer in Round Rock, TX (just north of Austin) has been carrying the line for about 2 years. Well worth your time for a quality unit.
I just went into an Outdoors last week. I was all excited and it turned out that it didn't look any better than the others. I was looking at the Mountain Trail series ($75,000 for a 23ft trailer) and it was still all sticks and staples inside. I did appreciate the bigger tanks and other quality touches though. Thanks for your comment!
@@LizAmazing Glad you posted this Liz. I was heavily looking into Outdoors RV 19footer. I guess they arent as good as I thought if they are using staples like the rest of the garbage out there. Keep up the great work!!
My wife and I purchased an Escape 21 and have been traveling around the country full-time for the last two years with no problems. Fiberglass units are the way to go.
The only campers I would consider are the Oliver or the Cortes. Both fiberglass with high build quality. I personally preferred the Cortes a little better for our needs but both are excellent choices. Didn’t take very long to convince my spouse that either one would be better in the long run than the Airstream, just in quality of build and ease of maintenance alone.
Yep. Being on the road is supposed to be fun so getting something low maintenance is a good plan! Thanks for watching, Calvin!
So good to hear about Oliver. Being that Tennessee is my favorite state away from home. I will keep the brand in mind.
What an uplifting video. Glad to see Oliver is doing what they say. Thank you for sharing. Everyone stay safe, warm, happy and healthy. From Henrico County Virginia
Yay! So glad you are here, Norm! Have a great weekend!
I was at Lake Guntersville State Park in Alabama when they had an Oliver owner appreciation weekend. Man, No manufacturer of any of my campers have done that.
I looked at these things a lot over the weekend. WOW. When we buy our next one, It will be an Oliver. They care about quality and it shows. Others did in the past but I think Oliver is the only one that does now. Beautiful craftsmanship. Inside and out.
The owners are so nice too.
Glad to hear you got to see first hand how owners feel about their Olivers. Yes expensive, but so many years of joy and satisfaction follow. If you love camping and travel, you really should find a way to get into an Oliver. Go take the factory tour, you will be amazed.
The equivalent to Oliver in the B+ and C motorhomes space is Coach House. They also use a one piece reinforced fiberglass shell and you order direct from the factory. They let you "camp" at their facility when you pick up your coach and try out all the systems. They have a very active and enthusiastic, loyal forum of owners. They are also a small company that only manufactures about 80 units a year and are located in Nokomis Florida.
Thanks for this Kevin, I might need to check them out!
Great video and happy customer stories of great craftsmanship. Super nice for a change. With all the problems in modern trailers these days, it is refreshing to hear about a quality manufacturer that really cares for customers.
I agree. It's not all bad news in the RV industry. In Canada there's a company called "Escape Trailers" that builds trailers very similar to this. I've also heard nothing but good things.
Yes, I've heard good things about the Escape, too. And they even make fifth wheels. Thanks for your comment, Tyler!
Liz thank you so much for posting this video. It has opened a whole new dynamic of options for me contemplating my decision moving forward. Also very much enjoyed your information concerning WiFi connectivity and the Starlink system. Great work! 😊
TrailManor and Lance are 2 great campers. I've owned both and used them hard (off road and boondocking mostly) with very few problems. Both are going to cost more, but are worth it. I have loved them both.
I've heard good things about Lance, hadn't heard of TrailManor. Thanks for this!
Agree Lance. Few maintenance. In pipe tiny leakage after 21 years. . . 27’. 2012. TT. Not one ripple outer side walls.
Lance got bought out by Rev Group in 2018. We've owned two Lance travel trailers ( 2013 and 2016) in the past. We are currently on all the Lance forums & FB groups researching before purchasing another. Lance's quality and customer care has gone DOWN HILL. They are still better built than like a Jayco for example, but the prices of Lances have doubled since our last one and the quality AND support has gone down hill. Sadly, Lance is not what they use to be and we will not be purchasing another one. We would love to buy and Oliver, but for our long term use, I can not do the wet baths. We are now looking at Bigfoot RV. If anyone has any feedback on Bigfoot RV please feel free to share. So far in my research, all Big Foot RV owners love them and think the customer support is excellent. My husband recently called Big Foot RV and they actually pick up the phone or call you back. While researching Lance again, we did not have the same experience with calling the factory with questions. While researching Lance, there's too many horror stories now for us to feel comfortable purchasing another one.
It's very refreshing to see a company that puts quality and customer satisfaction above profits, well done Oliver!
I’ve been full time in my airstream for 8 & half years now & Oliver is the only trailer I’ve seen where I’ve said to myself that one might be built better! Great video 😀
How much did you pay for your airstream if you don’t mind me asking?
@@Kylewraps 66k new in 2014
Yep. I've heard so much good things about Oliver. Thanks for watching and happy travels.
Kudos to Tennessee's Oliver for some really fantastic looking camper trailers! Very impressive! We really don't have any intention of camping at this stage of our lives, but if we did I can EASILY see Oliver being at the top of the list of potentials for us.
Also, excellent video, Liz! Loving the consumer report nature of your series lately! Extremely insightful and really pleased to see you doing so well! Keep up the fantastic work!
Look at Lance. The upgrades add-ons for Oliver may already be in a Lance. Price wise.
Awww, thanks so much for cheering me on!!! So glad you are here!
Quick update. After seeing this video and learning about Oliver, my mother has scheduled a showing to tour one. Thanks Liz!
OMG What refreshing video on quality built RV. I hope manufactures watch this. I wasn't looking for a travel trailer but I just might be now. Just incredible. Liz thanks for bring it forward.
You are so welcome! I am glad you are here!
Bravo Oliver! I really like the way you guys are doing business! Other manufacturers need to take note! Very nice to see. Thank you for sharing a great video Liz!
Thanks for your support, Angie!
Well, that was a breath of fresh air! glad to see some satisfied customers.
Me, too! Glad you enjoyed it, Kathy!
We own an Escape and love it. We previously owned a Casita. Great quality in both. I wouldn’t want to own anything but a fiberglass trailer.
Yes, they are super sweet. Thanks for your comment.
Bigfoot RV’s are also built with pride & quality. They have an extensive track record of holding up well over time.
We are trying to decide if we are going to go with a TT or get another motor home. If we go with a trailer Big Foot is on our short list.
Yes! I used to have a Bigfoot, loved it !
pretty awesome to see a company this focused on quality and low maintenance. i wish there were more floor plans but can appreciate keeping things relatively simple.
Thank you Liz for sharing, it looks great! Really want to see more RV brands with much less worry.
Yes. I am working on more. Stay tuned, and thanks for watching.
If you choose to purchase a class c motor coach, I highly recommend Coach House. After owning two Born Free coaches we decided to purchase a 27’ Platinum Coach House. We are very happy with the quality and service after the sell. They use a seamless fiberglass shell, are a small family owned business, all sales are factory direct, and are located in Nokomis, Florida. We are so happy to own and be ambassadors for Coach House.😊
Liz, best wishes for continued success on providing quality information for RV owners. Happy trails.
Thank you for this, I may have to do a video about them! Thanks for watching, Joel!
Great job Liz!!! Hopefully you have some great reach. Oliver is and always has been a premier coach builder.
Thank you!!! So great to put the spotlight on a company that is doing it right!
I saw an Oliver trailer on my trip to Zion and I cheered because I knew the brand and that smart people had bought it!
Quick plug for Rockwood Mini-Lite. My 2509S has been terrific. Dealer experience was good, trailer is flawless. I upgraded the TV and soundbar and replaced the Murphy bed mattress. Both were planned upgrades. Tows great. Workmanship is wonderful. Materials are excellent.
Glad to hear this! Thanks John!
Wow, how refreshing to know that there is a company that takes pride in their work. Bravo Oliver!!!😊
I did not know the Oliver trailer! Fiberglass is the way to go for sure (I also am for the sailing world).
Bravo!
Yay, Bernard! It really seems like such a well built trailer. Thanks for watching and have a good weekend.
Oliver looks like a great brand! I would suggest we do an energy audit with a bigfoot owner and an oliver owner in cold weather....get an IR gun and put a blower door in the entry door. Put both rvs outside in cold weather but with heat on. Then use blower door to put interior in a vacuum. Measure air loss and also walk around and then on top and then under the rvs with an IR gun to see thermal envelope consistency. That is the only way i know to objectively demonstrate the build quality regarding thermal envelope and heat transfer etc. I have no data on either so this would be a great test for OEMs!
Good idea, thanks for this, Jake.
Oliver’s are great TT & quality but they need to increase their size for couples that want more space & privacy from bedroom area . Hopefully in the future they will make a 28-30 ft trailer . Thx for the info & video . Outdoor RV make a solid 4 season RV with slide outs too ! 👍⚾️
From what I'm reading they can't make fiberglass much bigger than that because of flexing issues. I have not heard this from Oliver, but just general research on fiberglass trailers. And, yes, I've heard good things about Outdoors as well!
It's the width that gets me, cant stand in the kitchen and pass by my spouse very easily. They seem really well made and are great looking trailers but I feel cramped in them.
We have an Airstream. We looked at an Oliver. The reason we didn't get one; it doesn't have a dry bath. Thank you for your channel. May Jesus continue to bless you and your family
Oliver is an excellent discovery for this minimalist who appreciates seamless design!
Yes, they have so much to offer! Thanks for watching
With Oliver owners there's a saying that many of us express when someone makes a comment like yours, "everything you need and nothing you don't". Get in tough with the company and they can arrange for you to see an Oliver owned by someone in your area.
It's nice to see a company doing such a great job at production and customer service. Really enjoyed the video and the information shared. 😊
Yay, so glad to hear this Mark! Thanks for watching
That great you expose the good and the bad in the business great video, I’m happy to hear there are good dealers out there ❤❤❤
Yes indeed! It was my pleasure to shine the light on Oliver. Thanks for watching, Jeff.
Looks like a no leak trailer. Good info Thanks , we were looking at Grand Design but on the lot it was leaking , new to. Once the dealer stated , no leak warranty . We said we're not buying anything until we found this vid. Thanks
Yay, glad to hear this!
Excellent 👍
I was thinking of doing a Bigfoot fiberglass trailer. Seems the fiberglass units have a great rep overall.
Cheers
Cheers
Indeed! I used to have a Bigfoot, they are good, too. Thanks for being here, Patrick!
I bought an Escape 21 a year ago. It’s molded fiberglass like the Oliver. Have had no issues with it. It cost less than a comparable Oliver. Not a knock on Oliver, they’re great campers for sure.
Prices have gone insane last time I looked at escape trailers they went up $9,000 lord
If you can, try to get one soon. Nothing is going to go down in price. But the good news is that this will continue to prop up the value of one that you own.
Finally a caravan builder going out side the norm and building a quality product and very proud off what their making and very buyer friendly thats fantastic 👏 wish they were in Australia 🇦🇺
Yes! Thanks for your support and for watching, David.
STARTING $85,000....YIKES
The reliability will pay for itself, which is worth it to me.
You can pay less, just buy all the tools necessary to fix other brands
Perfect type of camper to park on your land if you own acreage. This is marine grade quality construction. A Canadian truck camper company has similar design ideas for their construction but so much more space with this travel trailer. Thanks for posting this info..
Yes! So many great ways to camp with this- and worry free! Thanks for watching.
Way to Oliver 👏
Very impressive company 👍
Yep, indeed! Thanks for watching, Timothy!
i have a 2021micro mini winnebago 2108 fbs with a slide out dinette short queen bed, its all electric and i've had no problems in 3 years of camping in the winter LTVA desert. It's a third of the price of an Oliver, has far more room and storage. i also need a heavy innerspring mattress and my mini fits this perfectly. the oliver is nice but a pass for me and so far it was the right choice.
Sounds like you got the right RV for you! Happy travels and enjoy that LVTA!
Good job Liz!
Thanks, Paul!
I looked very seriously at an Oliver this summer, but found a barely used 20' Airstream and have been very happy with it. There were a couple things the Airstream had over the Oliver, but that was just personal preference. Great Travel Trailer and great to see them in the RV Industry.
Thanks for this, and for watching. Enjoy that Airstream!
Man Liz is making a killing with these infomercials!!
Thanks for watching and feel free to fast forward.
Our new camper had a punch list of over 20 repairs, it was unbelievable and took several trips to get it fixed. We finally just took it with 4 items left and I did those myself. We will never buy new again. It was a good price if there weren’t so much wrong with it. Heartland Prowler 195.
Oh goodness. Thanks for sharing this.
Excellent product, but if I’m going to spend 90k I’m going with a used airstream
Nice to see there are people trying to do the right thing. 😊

I can attest to the Brooklyn Bedding. I purchased a queen for my trailer. Best thing ever.
Awesome!! So glad to hear this, Raymond. Thanks for your comment!
It’s too expensive to be true.
You’re so right about that!
I'd buy an Oliver, but I own a Bigfoot. Any penatration is an opportunity for a leak, and EVERY penatration eventually needs maintenance. But a well made fiberglass body gives quality manufacturers a great platform to build on.
Love the solid construction of the Oliver trailer. I just wish they made one several feet longer and 8 ft wide.
I love Oliver campers.
They are modern and clean with the vintage twist.❤😊
They sure are nice to look at! Thanks for watching, Stephanie.
We bought an Outdoor RV that was half the price. We love it! Four season rated down to just below zero.
Escape out of Canada is another quality built fiberglass travel trailer. They have several sizes and lots of customizations.
We bought an Alto from Safari Condo, a Quebec-based company in Canada. Like Oliver, you order from the manufacturer and then wait. When we bought ours it was a one year wait. Now it's almost a 3 year wait. They are definitely a quality product, produced in one factory by people who care and know what they are doing. Also found out lately that our 2 1/2 year old travel trailer had actually gone UP in value due to the demand for it. We love it!
I believe. I have always looked up articles on these trailers. You hit it on the head Liz Good for you.
Thanks Laura! They sure seem like a nice trailer. Have a good weekend.
This is exactly what I also love seeing. The stuff that we can buy that's rock solid...just like you!
I got a 2022 sundowner 2086 all aluminum camper n they know how too build them no slides n quality products n tows like a dream!!
Yay. The oldie but goodies are the best. they sure don't build them like they used to! Thanks for watching.
Now I see a joyful video on RV's. Oliver I like. I'll check these out.
We had a 35 ft. sailboat for 35 yrs. And decided to gat an rv. We looked at ALL the travel trailer that would work for us. Oliver was number one on our list as far as quality. We are both in our 70’a and have no children so we weren’t leaving a legacy. We are both big guys and even though the Oliver Legacy Elite II would accommodate us it was a bit too small for us. It is also pretty expensive. We ended up with a Grand Design 17MKE which is perfect for what we need but not nearly as well built as the Oliver trailers. Oliver’s are first rate if you’re not too big and have the money.
Thanks for your comment, Artie! Happy travels and have a great weekend.
We love our Oliver Hull# 634 3 years in!! Great video Liz! Thanks for posting and all you do! So when will you join the Oliver family? 😊
Wow, that's so great! I told Aaron I would get one as long as I have a separate place to eat, sleep and work. And a bigger black tank as a 15 gallon one won't cut it. He said the black tank would have to be bigger if they made a bigger trailer that was family friendly. So if Oliver ever does make a bigger one I would definitely be interested! Enjoy yours! Are you fulltime in it?
@@LizAmazing not full timing, but just returned from a 6000 mile 42 day epic trip in CO. Back home now in the Blue Ridge Mtn foothills.
I'm sure glad people are enjoying their Oliver travel trailers and even more pleased to know that there is a manufacturer who is doing it right. That's encouraging. But I must say, I can't say much about the styling of those units. A stark white interior is not what I'm looking for in a trailer, but if that's what some folks want, more power to 'em!
I noticed some really cool and creative decor ideas on the Oliver Facebook page. Basically it's your own blank canvas. Thanks for watching, Pastor Paul.
outstanding....it is great to see quality products still out there since the COVID debacle great story.....great customer service i hear too
Yep! Thanks for watching, Leonard.
Solid fiberglass trailers are the real deal. I spent a bit of time inside an Oliver Legacy Elite II last month You can tell Oliver has focused on using high quality components with excellent workmanship. Only downside to the Oliver I looked at is the limited headroom. The double shell, comes at the cost of interior space. and I sadly realized that I just didn't fit (I am 6'4" tall).
Thank you! Very important to let people know about Oliver - and the problems that people are having with many formerly premium RVs
Indeed. Thanks so much for your support, and for watching.
I'd go with an Oliver!
