Well welcome to the world of fiberglass and here on the Oliver site you are at the top of the food chain. I can say my wife and I have done the exact same steps as you have described from small them looked on up to the big 5th wheel and their problems back down to the Oliver. We first started in a 17 ft Casita and traveled from Florida to Alaska and then to New Foundland and loved the camper and the ease of travel it is what you make of it, the more space you have the more you will carry. The one statement I know to reply to is I can go to a campground and they are locked up in their camper I did not pull out my driveway to sit in a camper I can do that at home but to experience the outdoors, National Parks ,Scenic Drives, wonderful People, BLM Land, you can go on and on. We seldom cook in the camper it has to be a downpour and then grilled cheese and if it is cold Tomato Soup. We went up to the Oliver 2 years ago and probably have around 30,000 miles on her and love the size and comfort features and the Grandkids fit much better. You are asking the right questions just what will fit your camping style I would suggest going to a Fiberglass Rally and look at them, they almost always have a open house day that all the camper go to each others to see modifications or their ideas. Look here and on Fiberglassrv.com for rally sites there will be many come the first of the year. Good Luck and ask those Questions. Thanks Gary

We are a married couple, well seasoned road trippers. A recent whimsical decision to go to an RV show got us thinking. Perhaps there is much more to road travel than hotel rooms? Neither of us have ever thought about this before, nor have we experienced any camping except a long ago trip in a rented class C. Like everything else over the last 30 years things have changed dramatically. We soon learned that technology and innovation was not lost on the world of RV's. We began looking at fivers, 5th wheel trailers in the 35 ft range. By accident I came across a Trailer Life article on the Oliver Legacy Elite 2. Enter a concept I hadn't considered: Simplification. We have friends and neighbors with RV's, some large. My brother owns a Prevost Bus. We see the gyrations these folks take in getting ready for a trip, the maintenance and repair of things that fail like slide outs, etc. And the difficulty in storing them if home base property is not adequate. So now we are thinking something smaller, lighter, easier to hook up and go, something that will get us to less traveled places other than camp grounds. When I started looking at smaller, lighter TT's made by the 'consumer' suppliers, most in my opinion were poorly built junk that would last a few years. When I saw the Oliver article I almost didn't read it. Now, I have watched every Oliver video on YT and can see the advantage to the type of construction and the quality that appears to be built into these units. I'm a nuts and bolt kind of guy. I'm not afraid of maintenance ore even the occasional repair. But some of the horror stories I have read in reviews of trailers, motor homes, some units costing well over 100k is scary. Tires blowing out and causing damage on the way home from the dealer lot. Furnaces failing the first time out, leaks on brand new units, slide outs failing, not sealing, new units in repair shop all season, etc. So far, I have not found this talk regarding this fiberglass trailer, it appears to be well made. I have turned Wifie on to Buzzy's videos, he demonstrates the attributes very well. She is a bit concerned over the size. No island kitchen as in the fivers, small reefer, where do we sit if we have to be inside because of weather and so forth. It looks like a trip to Nashville is in order in April. We'll visit my niece and then tour the factory where hopefully, they have a completed one. Or, I'm sure we can find an owner who is willing within reasonable driving distance. Many of you folks seem to be experienced. What can you tell us as to the size of the LE2 as compared to other larger RV's you have owned?

Happy Thanksgiving to all from San Antonio! Mike and Carol

Sorry for my delay in responding--we've been traveling! The electric jacks easily lift the Ollie to allow the placement of the floor jacks. Don

This is the mount that we specified for the build of our Outlaw Oliver back in 2013. Oliver won't tell you about it because of the regulations about the rear egress window. We have had zero problems with it for over 20000 miles. It is available on Amazon for a much better price. It is mounted directly in front of the rear window and we travel with it in the stowed (up) position. It does not block the rear window so it could still be used in an emergency. Realistically, I would rather take my chances getting past whatever "emergency" might be happening to get out the door rather than risk life and limb trying to get everybody and the dogs out through that window. We are using the standard Jensen 12vdc TV that Oliver puts in all their trailers.
