Background on Oliver Travel Trailers
Since its founding in 2007, Oliver Travel Trailers has carved out a reputation as a top-tier name in the luxury RV market. Based in Hohenwald, Tennessee, the company is celebrated for its innovative approach to trailer design, blending durability with comfort in a way that’s tough to beat. What sets Oliver apart? It’s all in the fiberglass construction—a double-hulled shell that’s lightweight yet incredibly sturdy, making it a standout choice for travelers who demand quality.
The Legacy Elite II, the star of Chris and Stacie’s adventure, is a prime example of Oliver’s craftsmanship. This model boasts four-season capabilities, meaning it’s built to handle everything from scorching summers to icy winters. Inside, you’ll find a spacious layout packed with high-end amenities: think custom-molded interiors, solid wood cabinetry, and plush upholstery. Its aerodynamic shape doesn’t just look sleek—it cuts down on wind resistance, making towing a breeze and boosting fuel efficiency. For those eyeing a premium travel trailer that combines luxury with practicality, the Legacy Elite II is a game-changer. Curious about the details?

First Impressions
Chris and Stacie pulling up to the Oliver factory in Hohenwald, Tennessee, ready to take delivery of their shiny new Legacy Elite II. Their first stop? A factory tour that left them in awe of the meticulous process behind their trailer’s creation. “The moment we stepped inside the trailer, we knew we had made the right choice,” Chris recalls. “The quality was evident in every detail, from the solid wood cabinetry to the plush upholstery.” It wasn’t just the aesthetics that impressed them—the attention to craftsmanship gave them confidence that this trailer was built to last. Hitting the road for the first time, they found towing to be surprisingly effortless. The Legacy Elite II’s design and aerodynamic profile made it a dream to pull, even for a midsize vehicle.
When they reached their first campsite, setup was a snap. The trailer’s intuitive features—like easy-to-access leveling jacks and a straightforward electrical system—meant they were settled in no time. For first-time RV owners or seasoned travelers alike, this ease of use is a huge plus. That initial experience set the tone for the year ahead, proving that the Legacy Elite II wasn’t just a pretty face—it was a practical companion for the road.
Living in the Trailer
After a year of calling the Legacy Elite II home, Chris and Stacie can’t stop raving about how comfortable it is. Step inside, and you’re greeted by a surprisingly spacious interior that feels more like a cozy apartment than a travel trailer. The kitchen is a standout, equipped with a refrigerator, microwave, and generous counter space that makes whipping up meals a pleasure. The bathroom is another highlight—a compact wet bath with a toilet and shower that’s both functional and stylish.
Traveling and Adventures
The past year has been a whirlwind of exploration for Chris and Stacie, with the Legacy Elite II as their trusty steed. The trailer’s four-season capabilities have been a game-changer, letting them chase adventure no matter the weather. Its off-road prowess, paired with a rugged suspension, has opened up rugged terrains that other RVs might shy away from. They’ve also explored state parks and private campgrounds, appreciating the trailer’s compact size—small enough to fit into tight spots, yet packed with the amenities of a larger RV. Whether hooked up to full utilities or running off-grid with solar power and ample tank capacity, the Legacy Elite II has proven itself a versatile companion for their travel trailer adventures.
Maintenance and Service
Owning an Oliver means less time tinkering and more time traveling, and Chris and Stacie have found that to be true with their Legacy Elite II. Chris says. “It is such a relief to know that help was just a phone call away.” The team at Oliver headquarters went above and beyond, reinforcing the company’s reputation for stellar customer service. Routine upkeep has been a breeze, too. Tasks like checking the seals, lubricating moving parts, and keeping the fiberglass exterior clean are straightforward, thanks to the trailer’s durable, low-maintenance design. Compared to other RVs that demand constant attention, the Legacy Elite II lets owners focus on the journey, not the chores.

Community and Rallies
For Chris and Stacie, one of the unexpected joys of owning an Oliver has been the sense of belonging that comes with it. The Oliver Owner’s Rally, held annually, was a highlight of their first year. This gathering brings together owners from across the country for a weekend of connection and celebration. “It was like joining a big family,” Chris says. “Everyone was so welcoming and eager to share their experiences.” At the rally, they swapped stories with fellow owners, picked up RV maintenance tips, and attended workshops on everything from boon-docking to customizing their trailer. They even got a sneak peek at new models and accessories, sparking ideas for future upgrades. Beyond the event, the Oliver community thrives online, with forums and social media groups keeping owners connected year-round.
