JD, I don't know about Ebikes - however, there is plenty of room for the bars, if you can see on my pic, there is a good amount of space left between the bumper edge and the outside of the Ollie - at handle bar height. I would think 9" would be close - I would think the pedals would be an issue first, just have to rotate them to put them out of harms way. I suppose you could mock it up, and measure the distance. I'm sure an ebike's stats can be found for the handlebar width. RB

John, On my set-up it is 11" rear bumper to c/l of the first wheel channel. I can adjust each bike mounting in or out a few inches if needed, The current set-up works fine with road and mtb bikes. The bars clear the tire cover with no problem. Peddles also - just rotate where needed. Pic for reference.

You might take a look at Black Series campers. They've been in Australia for a while, and they just started up a factory in SoCal. I toured some of them earlier this year and they seem well made.

You definitely do not need a gun at Big Bend. That's silly. The hairpin going into Chisos is tight, but doable. The hiking there is the best, but the camping is better out in the park. If you're at all adventurous with your trailer, there are plenty of backcountry sites that you can get to with a 2WD and your Oliver. You might check with the backcountry office when you arrive to see what's available and if you want, scout them out with just your truck before committing. We usually go right after Christmas, when there are people camped outside the office to get spots, but when you're there you should have a good choice. Generally the roads are bumpy but if you stay off the designated 4x4 trails, then no problem - just some long drives to get to some of them. Last time there, we camped at the gravel pit - not great scenery, but you're right on the Rio Grande. Our favorite spots are along Pine Canyon and Glen Springs road. A handful of spots there are far enough in to feel secluded yet don't take half an hour plus to get back to the main road. Pay attention to your gas while you drive around. It's a big park so don't let yourself get too low. There's a good roadside BBQ spot in Terlingua if you get tired of camp food. Boquillas entry is open again, if you want to take your passport. There's really not much to do there but eat some average TexMex, but it's a poor town and they appreciate the patronage. If you've got a telescope, it's worth packing it - the night sky is pitch black in the backcountry.

Yes, the team at Oliver has it covered for virtually any major repair. Also, most any good fiberglass boat yard or a body shop that takes care of Corvettes can do fiberglass work. If I were going to take my Ollie to anyone besides the team at Oliver I would insist that they at least talk to the people at Oliver to make sure that the resins used and the gelcoat type and color were the same and/or compatible with the original Oliver stuff.

Oliver has a very talented staff and between the welding and the fiberglass division it would have to be really bad. There was an Oliver owner that backed into something and took out the complete top back quarter panel and fixed up like new so there is always a a helpful hand at the Oliver Camper division. Travel safe and enjoy.....we sure do. Thanks Gary

Welcome to the Oliver family. The Oliver is a whole lot like a boat, as far as systems go, except there isn't a built in compass. Also there isn't a Harbor Master making everybody park pointing the same way. Welcome aboard and enjoy...
