►2015 Lance 1172, bought it in February 2024 as a private sale from South Carolina.
►2023 Northern Lite 10-2 EX SE Dry Bath, We bought it in June 2023.
►2020 Lance 1172 - We purchased from Southland RV in Atlanta, GA - July 2022 before our 3 week trip out west. Sold it in June 2023.
►2020 Bigfoot 10.4 Truck Camper - We got our 2020 Bigfoot 10.4 Truck Camper in October 2021. We were contacted by a couple of subscribers (now good friends) who had theirs up for sale in Upstate New York so we headed out on an adventure. We sold our 2014 Bigfoot 10.4 within one day of listing it online.
►2014 Bigfoot 10.4 Truck Camper - We got our 2014 Bigfoot 10.4 in August 2021 from RVOne near Charlotte, NC. Todd was headed to buy a brand new Bigfoot 10.4 just before we got the Lance 975 but when he got to Southland RV, it was sold. That's when we decided to go to the Lance 975. We knew at some point in the future we'd have a Bigfoot again and here it is.
►2021 Lance 975 - We got our new 2021 Lance 975 from Chattanooga Fish n Fun in Hixson, TN in August 2020.

►2002 A-liner - Sold 05/2017 when bought our 2006 Casita Spirit Deluxe.
The Oliver look’s premium quality but the Bigfoot floor plan is a more livable space with a lot more storage. It’s better for full time living.
We bought the Oliver 2 years ago after retirement. We’ve traveled a little over 15,000 miles. Camped 2 weeks off grid last year at 9000’ in Wyoming just off solar power. Absolutely no issues traveling some really bad roads. Perfect for us.
Love the Bigfoot with the recliners. The shower is awesome for sure.
Yes I bet the recliners would be perfect for relaxing while camping. Thanks for watching!
Those Olivers are using the molded fiberglass interior features to add even more strength and rigidity to their full hull designs. As much as I love my Bigfoot, I think the Oliver is better made. Thanks for the tour you two!
Which leads to it being a very heavy trailer for it's size, less interior room, a ridiculous price and a design flaw of having two vapor barriers. There's an interior space between the shells that collects moisture, which is why they had to add drain holes. Buildings are designed with a single vapor barrier which is the correct solution. The extra strength isn't needed, it's entirely overkill. I do like the quality and look but that interior shell is a flawed design, no boat takes this approach either, it's unique to Oliver.
@@Gnosticware I was going to also say -- so I agree -- Olivers are too heavy, so none of their models would be suitable for my current tow-vehicle (mid-size truck)...wish they made a short one which should be noticeably lighter (but still VERY pricey I'm sure). I agree with bob_frazier (above) Oilivers are probably the better (best?) made "eggshell" type TTs, at least when it comes to American-made RVs (most of which are crap). The Canadian and EU RVs seem to be way better quality-wise.

Thank you for this vid❤❤❤ i know i am going with the Bigfoot....really great video!!!
The prices are outrageous. Especially the Oliver trailers.
We’d have to go with the Bigfoot and recliners. That’s so nice to be able to relax at the end of a long day. Both the Bigfoot and Oliver are super nice campers.
I’d definitely go with the Bigfoot. Fortunately my dad owns an airstream business so I’ll remain hot or cold from the aluminum 😂
Thanks for the roof shots! Not enough reviewers do that.
Tough to decide what I like best. I appreciate the build quality of Oliver, but I would want a dry bath. I do like the recliners in the Big Foot.
Hi.. Bigfoot #2 you can always use a small folding table for dinner.
Love Oliver ! Fit and finish also well insulated 4 season camper !
I like the recliners. I need my afternoon nap.
Hey 👋‼️ my turn to get my nap 😴 as well ❤😂
The Bigfoot is my pick . Very nice thanks guys . When I get back in the states I will go look at the Bigfoot.
You needed to include Escape trailers.
The quality is outstanding and probably better than each of them
The best review I’ve seen so far. The Bigfoot is the nicest trailer I’ve ever seen. Thank you so much for sharing.
Love these fiberglass rv’s.. The intech line has really impressed me so far for quality and cost, storage and features
Very impressed with the Oliver camper. High-quality build. V nice! Great video.
Those are "Top Quality" travel trailers ....... Really LIKE the first one (the one Todd said was a "favorite" ...), "Thank you" for showing all of them, in detail !!! 😀👍👍👍👍
Both are nice looking trailers for sure. For my wife & I though we are perfectly happy with our pop-up as we feel part with nature in it. We had a really nice travel trailer once, but felt claustrophobic in it & sold it. Thanks for taking your time folks. Have a beautiful day! Cheers!!! Illinois, USA
You can’t compare s pip up with these
@@kevincamilleri1695 I can
Thanks for more reviews of fiberglass trailers - my favorites! We almost purchased an Oliver a few years ago. Instead, we purchased an Airstream Nest (also fiberglass) and really like it for a very small, easy to tow trailer.
I'd much rather have to recliners than a dinette that nobody wants to sit at. Dinettes are so incredibly uncomfortable nobody wants to sit at them and you sure as heck don't want to sleep on one. Having the two recliners with the table that moves is phenomenal for anyone who might be still working occasionally or if it's just yourself You don't need a big huge dinette. Really like the build of a Bigfoot. You can see and hear the quality. Love the 3 burner stove you can actually use. I need an oven. ❤
Very beautiful trailer, good video
Thank you very much!
My vote is the bigfoot. I like the storage and roomy feel. I need every inch of storage I can get. The bathroom works too. I like the first Bigfoot, my dogs could possibly fit on the dinette seating with me. ❤
I think on the Bigfoot you can delete the skylight and get a additional max air fan . They also offer twin bed setup with lots of storage cabinets overhead.
Haven't seen a Bigfoot trailer inside in years. Oliver very very expensive, but i would definitely do an oliver over an airstream, cause of the molded interior will out last any airstream. Very cool to see! 👍🏼🍻
Thanks for the thorough walk throughs. We’re looking at going full time and the Oliver looks like a great build but not a very inviting interior and it seems very small inside. Reminds me of the sailboat my family had growing up, gets the job done but you don’t really want to be in there. The Bigfoot definitely seems like a winner to me. With a dog and cat I appreciate the space in a small trailer and a dry bath. The wet bath in the Oliver just seems so awkward I dont think it’s usable at 6’2” with broad shoulders I’d probably have to have an outside shower setup. Also I’m not sure about the black tank outlet being recessed into a space that you’d have to clean out before stowing your hose. I’d probably cut the floor out and stow the hose in a tube.
Oliver builds a beautiful trailer, however, they’re simply too small.
Pretty hard to beat the Bigfoot brand.
Thanks for sharing 👍🏼
You guys should borrow an infra red gun and shine it on three campers with AC on in the heat ... Oliver, a Bigfoot and an Airstream! My bet is the Bigfoot will show the least energy transmission and the Airstream show the most
You could extend the countertop on that 'desk' and use a swivel chair in the second Bigfoot
We always loved the Bigfoot campers, maybe someday. $$$$…hmmm?
The way they hold their value, and the way inflation is going, you might buy a nice used one and sell it for what you have in it later. Can't do that with a wooden trailer.
Thanks for the video. I chose the Bigfoot over the Oliver, because of the dry bath in the Bigfoot. However I like the double hull of the Oliver. Great strength in the structure, as well as clean lines and detailing in lighting. 😎
So, I could have done more due diligence before I ordered the Bigfoot, as the manufacturer will custom install equipment and other items in the productions cycle. Should’ve, would’ve, could’ve! Here are two You Tube channels that really went the extra mile on installing solar for off grid. Alaska Ram Travel Adventures, and Over the River and Through the Woods, so take a peek. 😎
👀 Thanks!

Those are top of the range trailers i love all of them just can't afford one my little 16 scamp will have to do for now
Wow beautiful Trailer
Bigfoot is easily my choice. Wanted to buy one but couldnt find one in colorado. Went with arctic fox, not quite the build quality of bigfoot, but we love it.
My favorite camper
I have been to that dealership and it’s huge. Love the Oliver bur afraid I’ve not seen the Bigfoot.
Love these Olivers, just wish they could make a larger black tank.
Just came home from 6 days in the mountains, these won't go where we want to go. Keeping our truck camper.
The 2 Bigfoot's, I think, are full-time livable. The Oliver's are nice but they seem a little smaller and claustrophobic. Bigfoot models are better priced with the better floor plans. $80 grand, you definitely pay for the better quality.
Thank you for the VOD. 👍👍
Dry bath versus wet bath. No contest.
Solar is tantamount for me - thus, Oliver is my choice!
We play cards and games in our booth, can't imagine giving that up.
How do you think they compare to Outdoors RV's travel trailers? I'm looking for a true 4 season camper that's well-built. I feel like the Outdoors RV trailers are better designed for going off-road and boondocking.
Since you two have done both truck camper and trailer hauling, did you guys have a preference between towing or hauling?
We have been living and travelling in truck camper for 2 years and we are now considering a bigfoot 25ft trailer instead.
We would love to separate the current truck and camper more so we have just a truck to drive and not carry the home everywhere but it's so time consuming and daunting to do, hence the interest in a trailer.
We generally don't do campgrounds. We are off-grid boondockers
Yeah noticed there were some (slightly) large drawers in the rear queen .....
I love the build quality of the Oliver and have researched the a lot. I do worry a little about what seems to be smaller inside space and if that would get a little claustrophobic.
I really like the Bigfoot but it is really dated in terms of the appliances they use and lack of solar etc. for that price they should be using the Truma heater, A/C and water heater etc. they really need to refresh and upgrade their trailers and if they did that, I would be interested.
Wonder why Northern Lite scrapped the Boreal trailer? Loved my 8.11 and really wanted to see them come out with the trailer.
All that being said, if I were buying today it would be a Peak Mtn Camp sheep wagon.
The big issue with me is the windows. If every window was a pop/tilt out vs a slide, I would have one in a minute, but windows that don't open at all, or only slide are a big drawback. are they all white inside?
For us the bigfoot is the better fit, I sure do love the fit and finish of Oliver trailers but the floor plans are just a horrible fit for us.
Last trailer built like a medium sized submarine.
Love this video! Which camper do you two like?
We love both but the Bigfoot has a shower that Todd can stand in and is a bit roomier.
Are both brands 4 season design? What is typical outdoor temperature range for reasonable dressed interior comfort?
Yes the Oliver interior lacks the back bedroom door. I font like the layout either.
How does the quality compare between the Oliver & BigFoot?
Paying 78 thousand and not having things like televisions and solar set up is tragic. After seeing that I personally would not buy this or any unit not fully furnished for that money for the Bigfoot.
No kidding I watched the first tour until the price then fast forwarded to the 2nd price then stopped the video 😂
I know that the water damage protection is built into these trailers, but the hospital/ambulance interior design is a bit too much for these old eyes. A little real wood cabinetry and accents would do wonders for the interior aesthetics. Oh, and the prices-ridiculous!
I e we wonder if the Fiberglas has an Oder?
It is a little expensive 😢
The price is ridiculous
After looking at these - everything else looks like shit. Lol
A lot of wood in the Big Foot.
I like the recliners,we have a R.Q. 25. Would trade up,but don't want thr shit show dealing with a dealer and manufacturer agrain.
Thankfully we were able to buy ours from an individual. Thanks for watching!
80k for a 20 foot travel trailer 🫣
I'm out 👎
Mach AC is really noisy!
I would put the Canadian made Escape against both of these. Nice trailers, though!
Just fyi Bigfoot campers are made in Canada as well.
These are nice if you are a millionaire...
I am …..🤣
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, move your camera slower...your viewers are OLD FOLKS...not young eyes. Slow down...
Nice but not worth 78K. You can buy a nice toy hauler with money left over for that price.
That Oliver is ugly and way over priced. No thanks.
.peakmtncamps looks great also and built very well, give them a look.
Oliver trailers have a lot of problems! They also have a major problem with condensation
Like what problems ? Mention them instead of a blanket remark.
