  1. I’m speaking for myself here, not the other moderators. If an owner, Oliver employee, or even a prospective owner wants to post a general interest RV or camping article I don’t see any issue. We’ve had owners sell their Oliver and purchase other brands (Black Series, Airstream and Kimberly) and have posted about them with discussions and questions that followed from current owners. If a post or article has grammatical error that’s okay, too. We have members who join and don’t have a clue about camping or RV’s (like I was 8 years ago) and what Jason posted would be educational to them. I didn’t know what a Toy Hauler was back when I joined the forum. I learned a lot from the Fiberglass RV Forum, Airstream Forum and this forum. I don’t see any marketing of other brand trailers going on, just general interest educational, pros/cons, etc. What is not acceptable are offensive posts and posts that are soliciting business. Unlike the Facebook group, we do allow links to products and information that owners post to be helpful to other owners. If a thread or post is not of interest to you, don’t read it. Mike

  2. After seeing an Oliver Legacy Elite for the first time during 2010 at Mt. Pisgah Campground on the Blue Ridge Parkway, we really liked Oliver Travel Trailers and wanted one! We also enjoy riding a motorcycle two up on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Before buying Ollie, compared the pros & cons of buying a toy hauler to buying an Ollie. Oliver easily won for us because we also wanted Ollie for cross county travel and did not want to take a motorcycle on those trips. Plus we really like Ollie's looks, how efficient it is to tow, and how pleasant it is to camp in. When we camp on the Blue Ridge Parkway in Federal campgrounds and want to take a motorcycle, we tow the motorcycle with another vehicle. It's allowed to stay in two campsites as long as you use two geezer cards for $10 per site per night. When we take a motorcycle, we don't stay during holiday weeks, so there's plenty of extra sites available for everyone. One of our 2022 Trips to Mt. Pisgah Campground on the BRP:

  3. 35 years of litigation practice confirmed the truth of this observation to me. Yet, the odds are very low (but not zero) that the tightly-drafted Waiver of Liability, Assumption of Risk and Hold Harmless agreement being required by Oliver as part of the new rewards program will not be enforced. I appreciate Oliver investing the $$$$ to get it drafted, and insisting that it be executed before a trailer is shown. Of greater financial concern to me than the possibility that the agreement will not ultimately be enforced, is that many thousands of $$$$ must be spent on attorneys to defend the claim before a decision regarding the effect of that document is ever made. In this country, defendants in such cases get to pay their own attorneys, "win, lose or draw." Much expensive motion practice by defense counsel is required before the enforceability of that document is even presented to the judge for decision. That is one reason we have an umbrella insurance policy, in case our regular homeowners' policy, and our vehicle insurance on the trailer, don't cover such a claim. We hope our insurance carrier will get to pay defense counsel to try to get the claim dismissed, not us. That is why the indemnity provision in Oliver's Terms and Conditions is so critical. As presently drafted, not only must an unlucky Oliver owner pay its own attorney(s) to defend the claim, but Oliver's attorneys as well! As I have noted in earlier posts, I would only be willing to sign up for the program if Oliver deleted that Indemnification language, and substituted in its place a covenant to fully defend, indemnify and hold harmless Oliver owners who get sued for injuries incurred when showing a trailer. Then, an unlucky owner who gets sued should tender defense of any such claim to Oliver, and Oliver (or more likely its insurers) would be obligated to retain and pay defense counsel. It would then be Oliver's obligation to get the Waiver of Liability, Assumption of Risk and Hold Harmless agreement enforced, and the claim dismissed. No risk of financial ruin for the unlucky owner. In my view, Oliver should assume this legal obligation, and simply pay the additional insurance premiums to cover that contractual commitment. Given the very small odds of such a claim even being made, the additional premiums for such coverage should be relatively low. I believe the profit from the increased sales, and the goodwill with its existing owners, would more than cover the cost of the additional premiums. But that is a business decision only Oliver can make. Unless and until they do what I believe to be the "right thing," this retired lawyer will not be opting in to the Rewards Program.

  4. You are all silly. The OP is clearly the web developer at Oliver. They have linked a blog post FROM THE OLIVER WEBSITE to this form. My guess is they are trying to add informative content to the website in an attempt get get more website hits and improve search results. For example, if someone is wanting to read about toy haulers (or travel trailers in general based on other blog post) Oliver is trying to lure them to their website.

  5. I find it perplexing that a few folks on the Oliver forum complain about restrictive practices on the Oliver Facebook page and other social media platforms, and then want to limit the scope of conversations and topics on this forum. I'll be the first one to say that some topics, language and view points can come across as distasteful, or inappropriate. But discussing different aspects of RVing in general is as far from those bad characteristics as a discussion could be. Complaining and even demanding the removal of any thread or conversation pertaining to any aspect of RVing comes across to me as most exclusive and distasteful, as long as the discussion maintains a respectful tone. There are a number of topics that I have found to be of little interest to me on this forum, so I don't bother to follow them. But topics of general interest about RV travels are always interesting to me. I'd rather read them here than have to search the net to find them. I hope that when we attend our first Oliver Rally we aren't made to feel like we can only talk about Oliver campers.

  6. Welcome to the Oliver Travel Trailer Forums Our forum community is a place where owners of Oliver Travel Trailers and prospective owners can come together to collaborate about Oliver Travel Trailers and the lifestyle of camping.

Folks who are searching the web for information about this unique style of living and relaxing are all welcome on our forum. They might not truly know what it is they need and are casting a broad net during their initial investigations. This article will help them in their endeavor. Also, by linking their search to our forum, they may just learn about the awesome Oliver Travel Trailer which they had never even heard about before. You never know, they could wind up being in their own Oliver right next door to you at the annual Oliver Travel Trailers rally next year! That's one way the family grows, and that's a good thing. The article is also posted in the Blog section of the forum which deals with the broader aspects of camping as well as some Oliver specific items. Feel free to pass it by if you'd prefer.

  7. I'm not surprised at all by this article. In my experience with Oliver I've never gotten the impression that they only saw me as a person to sell a trailer to. I was even asked why I wanted an Oliver at one point. Potential customers come to this Forum because they are interested in RV's - not just because they are interested in Olivers. Indeed, some that come to the Forum eventually decide (for a whole host of reasons) to not buy an Oliver. A few buy an Oliver and later decide that there is something they think will satisfy their needs better. Given the popularity of toy haulers, why not address the elephant in the room? I've always believed that more information is better and should lead to owners that have considered the pluses and minuses of all the choices in the market. Bill

  8. I announced a couple weeks back that we would be selling our Oliver after having our baby. We also decided that we would take the Oliver for one last spin with our baby for the memories. We live in central Louisiana, and our goal was to get to Grayton Beach State Park and Topsail State Park in Florida. The total drive time getting there was about 6-7 hours plus the pit stops we needed to take. For our first night though, we stayed in Baton Rouge. We arrived during a tornado watch at 10pm due to weather delays and I set up in the pouring rain. Our baby had a hard time sleeping this night as well and my wife and I decided “NOPE!” We both wanted to cancel the trip. We decided during lunch the next day to push forward and really give it a try instead of cancelling. We are so glad and thankful that we pushed forward. It was one of our favorite and sweetest camping experiences of our life. Grayton state park and Topsail state park are incredible locations if you can get a spot. The surrounding area (30A) is also very nice and family friendly with great restaurants, cafes, and breweries. Our legacy elite II twin layout worked perfectly for us. Our baby slept in one of the twin beds with a rail guard protector I installed, and I slept on the twin bed table area conversion. We will probably look into getting a custom twin bed for this spot and have it set up permanently as we rarely used the table anyway. The one issue we did run into is that our baby hates riding in the carseat, which makes a 6-7 hour drive a bit difficult. We solved this by leaving very early in the morning for the drive there and for the drive home. How early? 4AM & 3AM respectively We loved the trip so much, we decided we are not going to sell our camper for now and hold onto this to continue making special memories.

  9. Share and Enjoy !Shares One of the worst things that can happen when you’re out camping is finding out that your water tanks have stopped working. That’s why we’re here to give you some tips on how to keep your travel trailer water tanks functioning properly all season long. By following these simple tips, you can avoid any costly repairs or replacements down the road. 1. Check for leaks regularly. One of the best ways to prevent your water tanks from malfunctioning is to check for leaks regularly. A simple way to do this is to pour a cup of water into the tank and then check the ground around the tank for any puddles or wet spots. If you see any, that’s a sure sign of a leak. Be sure to check all of the seals and gaskets around the tank as well so that you can tighten or replace them if necessary. 2. Don’t let the tank get too low. Your travel trailer water tanks are designed to function best when they’re at least half full. So, be sure to top them off regularly so that they don’t run dry. This will also help prevent any sediment from building up in the bottom of the tank, which can clog the pipes and cause problems down the road. 3. Keep an eye on the temperature gauge. If you notice that the temperature gauge on your water heater is starting to creep up, it might be time to descale the tank. This simply means removing any minerals or sediment that has built up on the sides of the tank over time. You can do this by draining the tank and then adding a Descaling Solution, which you can find at most hardware stores. Follow the instructions on the package and then refill the tank with fresh water. 4. Use the correct hose. When you’re filling up your travel trailer water tanks, be sure to use a freshwater hose that’s designed for RV use. These hoses are made of food-grade materials and are safe for drinking water. Regular garden hoses are not designed for this purpose and can introduce harmful chemicals into your water supply. 5. Sanitize the system. You should also sanitize your travel trailer water tanks at least once a season to kill any bacteria that might be lurking inside. The best way to do this is to add a Sanitizing Solution to the tank and then run all of the faucets in the RV until you can smell the solution coming out. Be sure to follow the instructions from your particular manufacturer. 6. Winterization of your travel trailer water tank This step is very important. If you do not winterize, your pipes could freeze and burst, which would be a huge mess to clean up. There are a few different ways that you can winterize your travel trailer water tank, so be sure to consult your owner’s manual or an RV technician before getting started. 7. Dewinterization This is the process of removing any antifreeze from your travel trailer water tanks and plumbing so that you can use them again. Be sure to consult your owner’s manual or an RV technician before getting started, as there are a few different ways to do this. 8. Using a water filter It is a good idea to use a water filter with your travel trailer water tanks, especially if you are using them for drinking water. This will help to remove any impurities from the water and make it safer to drink. There are a variety of different filters on the market, so be sure to do your research and find one that’s right for you. 9. Chemicals in the black tank You should never put any chemicals down your RV’s black tank, as this can damage the sensors and cause problems with the toilet. If you need to clean your black tank, there are a few different products on the market that are designed for this purpose. Be sure to follow the instructions carefully so that you don’t damage anything. 10. Regular maintenance The best way to prevent any problems with your travel trailer water tanks is to perform regular maintenance on them. This includes checking for leaks, topping off the tanks, descaling the tank if necessary, and sanitizing the system. By following these simple tips, you can avoid any costly repairs or replacements down the road. 11. Always keep the Black Water Tank closed unless otherwise directed by the manufacturer. The black tank valve is the key to a happy RVing experience. It controls the flow of water (and sewage) from your camper to the sewer connection at the campground. When this valve is left open, sewage can leak – and trust us, you do not want that! So, be sure to keep this valve closed at all times unless you are actively dumping your tanks. 12. Don’t forget about the gray water tank! Your gray water tank holds all of the water that goes down your drains, including shower water and sinks water. This tank needs to be dumped regularly, as well – otherwise, it will overflow and cause a big mess. Most campgrounds have dump stations that you can use. Always check and prepare. Know before you go! 13. Don’t Let Food Fall Down the Drain Depending on your trailer, you may or may not have a sink, but if you do have one, it’s important to be careful about what goes down it. Food scraps can easily clog up your drains, so it’s best to avoid putting them down the sink. Instead, dispose of them in the trash. By following these simple tips, you can avoid any costly repairs or replacements down the road and keep your travel trailer water tanks functioning properly all season long. Of course, if you do run into any problems, feel free to give us a call and one of our certified technicians will be happy to help you out. Happy camping!

  12. For anyone heading to Hohenwald from the east, there's a new(ish) Buc-ee's on I-40 in Crossville, TN. It's about 3 hours from OTT. Has anybody tried it? When we took delivery last summer we missed the grand opening by only a few days. This spring we're stopping for sure - in both directions!

  13. Wayfinder - The above is what Matt had to say at the end of his "bullet point" summary of the new program - about half way down on page 1 of this thread. Matt did a presentation of what is basically this program at last year's rally (2022) but I don't know if he will repeat that during the 2023 rally. I'd take him up on his offer about sending him a PM and see what he has to say. Bill

  15. That language is not in the Waiver of Liability, Assumption of Risk and Hold Harmless Agreement. The Indemnification language is found in Oliver's Terms and Conditions applicable to the Rewards Program. If you sign up for the Rewards Program, you are bound by Oliver's published Terms and Conditions.

  17. There are many documents and agreements that look iron-clad but they're not. Many companies force employees to sign strict and detailed non-compete agreements. But many states limit the companies' ability to actually enforce those agreements. The documents' main value is to scare the employee away from going to a competitor. A signed paper is only as good as a judge says it is if it goes to court. The same could be true here. No matter how well crafted OTT's hold harmless agreement might be, a judge could rule it unenforceable in certain situations. That's why @Rivernerd's suggestion to modify the indemnity clause to protect owners financially in that situation sounds wise to me.

So whether you're looking for a new or used trailer, or want to explore national parks or go boondocking, we have the information you need! When the Oliver family first began producing high-quality fiberglass travel trailers in 2008, the goal was to build the best superior-quality camper trailer on the market. With that goal in mind, we have engineered our unique double-shelled fiberglass and composite hull to last a lifetime.

Remember to keep these six tips in mind when you're looking for the perfect travel trailer for your needs. With a little research and planning, you'll be on the road in no time! Thanks for reading! The first thing to consider is your budget. Of course, you don't want to spend more than you can afford, but it's important to remember that a travel trailer is a big investment. You'll need to factor in the cost of the trailer itself, as well as the cost of maintenance, repairs, and upgrades. Take a look at your budget and decide for yourself if a travel trailer is a right thing for you! Once you've decided that a travel trailer is right for you, it's time to start shopping! There are a few things to keep in mind when you're shopping for a travel trailer. First, you'll need to decide if you want a new or used trailer. If you buy a used trailer, you'll need to be prepared to potentially make any fixes or adjustments to the current setup to make it travel-ready. Consider also what you need if you buy new. Typically it's the largest investment but comes with peace of mind that there won't be much if any maintenance during the first year of ownership. If you buy from a reputable dealer, they will also help walk you through the process of setting up your new travel trailer. When you're thinking about where to buy your travel trailer, there are a few different things to keep in mind. You'll want to decide if you want to buy from a dealership or directly from the manufacturer. If you're really looking to get a good deal you need to look across the entire US, not just your immediate area. With the internet, it's easier than ever to find travel trailers for sale all over the country. You can also check out classified ads and online forums to find used travel trailers for sale. Oliver Travel Trailers has its very own membership/forum portal where you can see options for used Oliver Travel Trailers and talk with current owners. Another important matter you should consider is how many people you plan on having with you. Typically travel trailers have less space than an RV, so you'll need to decide if you want a travel trailer that can sleep two people or one person. If you have a family, you may want to consider a larger travel trailer so that everyone has enough space. Trailers by Oliver Travel Trailers typically fit small families, couples, and single people. They're perfect for 4 or fewer people to be very comfortable and not meant for more people. Once you've found a few travel trailers that you're interested in, it's time to start thinking about how you will be using the travel trailer. Where do you plan on taking it? What kind of travel trailer will you need for your planned activities? For example, if you want to go camping in the wilderness, you'll need a different kind of travel trailer than if you're planning on visiting national parks. You'll also need to think about how many people you plan on traveling with. This will help you decide on the size and type of travel trailer that you need. Luckily with Oliver's Trailers, you can get away with pretty much any kind of travel and take them just about anywhere in the United States. This also takes into consideration your lifestyle. Is the life you want to live in your trailer going to match up? For those who need to work full-time, it might not make sense to buy a travel trailer and live in it permanently, unless you want to be a remote worker! This may be the perfect option for someone wanting to travel the entire US and work remotely. You also have to think about how much stuff you're willing to get rid of. Remember, travel trailers are smaller than your average home, so you'll need to downsize your belongings. Finally, once you've decided on the perfect travel trailer for you, it's time to start planning your trip! This is where the fun really begins. Finally, when you're ready to buy a travel trailer, make sure you have all the necessary paperwork in order. This includes things like your driver's license, registration, and insurance. You'll also need to have a detailed list of the features and amenities that you want in your travel trailer. Once you have all of this information, you should be able to order from a dealer or go chat with a private seller.

  19. True that too, Bill. But then think of all the things we sign up for everywhere that have pages of legal statements that very few of us read. When you sign up for phone service even! You probably missed the part where if someone from Mars lands and takes your phone that you won't hold the phone company liable for loss of use. John

  20. All things discussed...both pro and con... have made me decided to sign. Thank you Matt Duncan for your patience and through explanations. I am sure that time might "tweak" the wording from time to time, but even the Constitution took amendments from time to time. And I wasn't even threatened by an 'admin' or FB...

  21. It looks to me that it's thorough and protects both OTT and the owner showing their trailer. I am not an attorney, but it seems to cross every "t" and dot every "i". John

  22. Back in our Casita days there was a Facebook group that ruled the same way. I think some of the same people are now Oliver owners and moderating the Oliver page. They need to lighten up.

  23. My first impression was $20/year for a credit card that I don't want! No thanks. Lots of legal mumbo jumbo that I didn't want to wade through. Not too excited about this program. Maybe if a lot of us opt out of the program, they will come up with one that's a bit more user friendly. Sort of like going on strike. The company needs willing owners to show their trailers. I have no issue with showing our trailer, but at first glance of this program, I don't feel inclined to do it in this fashion. If someone stops by at a campground I can answer questions or show them. I made sure that the two people that showed their trailers to us got credit when we picked up our trailer. Hopefully they were compensated. My basic feeling...not thrilled about it. John

  24. Take a look at this old thread and comment afterwards. https://olivertraveltrailers.com/forums/topic/3145-owner-personal-liability-if-prospective-buyer-injures-himself/ This new program sure looks like an official business arrangement, with “sales employees” who get financially reimbursed for advertising work that benefits the company….. I did not read the fine details, does Oliver TT say anything about this issue? FYI, while I stopped officially showing “Mouse” due to liability concerns. I still do frequent walk around tours. The last was in October ‘22 to a milling and excited crowd of about 25 retired women who meet at campgrounds to do stuff together like biking or golfing. Three of them physically blocked the road as I was trying to exit in the morning. That was a hoot, I thought I might get kissed at one point. Didn’t happen, darn it. John Davies Spokane WA

  25. Yep, We never reserve a campsite at Mount Pisgah. Most of the Federal campgrounds on the NC BRP have about 1/2 of the sites as walk-up sites that cannot be reserved. These campgrounds can fill up during Holidays. When it's +90s and humid in the lower elevations of NC, Mt. Pisgah at 5,000 above sea level has very nice temps in August, see highs of 70s to 80F. No water/electricity at the sites, but not really needed with Ollie. I have been using a portable dump tank at Mt. Pisgah, but thinking about taking an extra length of black/grey dump hose keeping Ollie closer to level because of the descending grade at both ends of the dump station. Don't know if Balsam campground has walk up sites or a dump station, it's above 5,000', it's a Federal campground not too far from the NC BRP. The highest campground in NC, around 6,500', is Mt. Mitchell SP, but it's tent camping only.

  26. Your nasty toxic negative posts are really getting old. If you don’t like a particular post I would encourage you to just simply take a breath and keep right on scrolling. It’s pretty simple to do. There is absolutely nothing wrong with being decent, kind and respectful, as words really do matter. Maybe just give it a try. -Patriot🇺🇸

  28. OK - thanks. I just wanted to make sure that everyone is/was on the same page and not confusing one thing with another. So, it appears that assuming that a prospective buyer actually signs the form you referenced, a current owner who choses to show his Oliver to that buyer is, at least, somewhat more "protected" than they used to be. On the other hand, joining the rewards program could make even that questionable. It seems to me that the appropriate course of action at this point would be to wait to see what (if anything) Oliver comes back with in regards to the rewards program. Bill

  30. To avoid any further confusion, I have included in the quote above the sentence preceding the sentence you quoted in your post. The "indemnity provision in Oliver's Terms and Conditions" is the source of my concern, not any language found in the Waiver of Liability, Assumption of Risk and Hold Harmless document.

  31. I'm interested in hearing what the OTT lawyers who drafted the agreement being discussed will be willing to change without giving some pushback to Oliver. Given Oliver's history of fantastic customer service and the feedback we are getting from them, I believe that this is a case of the lawyers producing a document that fully protects their client (OTT) without regard to what it lays on us the Oliver Owners. It is my hope that in the spirit of their historical great care and service of the owners, that the people at Oliver who are in direct contact with the drafting attorneys will make known to them their (OTT's) desire to not place an undue burden, real or perceived on those of us who so willingly open our personal space and hearts to those who have interest in our trailers. Assuming that's the case then the lawyers involved should have no problem re-writing the questionable portions and remove any verbiage that could result in the undue liability suggested by Rivernerd. (Thanks Rivernerd for the input)

  33. So the saga continues…lost power again and this time it did not come back on. I called Progressive and we opened the box to check the connectors and the relay contact box was completely loose from the case. The mounting screw was there but the nut obviously was bouncing around the case. Ugh. So maybe that was the issue or a contributing one. Need to find that nut and get those Wago connectors to bypass the EMS until I get the replacement. I have the external surge protector ready to go. I guess this is something else to check after bouncing down the highway. IMG_2218.MOV

  35. Share and Enjoy !Shares If you're thinking of buying a travel trailer, there are some important things you need to know. Especially here in the United States. Buying a travel trailer can be a great way to see the country, but it's important to do your research first. In this blog post, we'll talk about six tips that will help you buy a travel trailer that fits your needs and budget. We'll also take a look at Oliver Travel Trailers, one of the leading manufacturers of travel trailers in the United States. So whether you're looking for a new or used trailer, or want to explore national parks or go boondocking, we have the information you need! When the Oliver family first began producing high-quality fiberglass travel trailers in 2008, the goal was to build the best superior-quality camper trailer on the market. With that goal in mind, we have engineered our unique double-shelled fiberglass and composite hull to last a lifetime. Our design and specifications provide superior insulation, durability, strength, and ease of maintenance. Our camping trailers are built to last a lifetime and then some. That is why we call it the LEGACY ELITE. The Oliver is built using only the highest quality materials, making it one of the longest-lasting RVs on the market and can be passed down to the next generation. You can search high and low and you will quickly find that Oliver is one of a kind. Now that you know a little more about travel trailers and Oliver Travel Trailers, it's time to start shopping! Remember to keep these six tips in mind when you're looking for the perfect travel trailer for your needs. With a little research and planning, you'll be on the road in no time! Thanks for reading! The first thing to consider is your budget. Of course, you don't want to spend more than you can afford, but it's important to remember that a travel trailer is a big investment. You'll need to factor in the cost of the trailer itself, as well as the cost of maintenance, repairs, and upgrades. Take a look at your budget and decide for yourself if a travel trailer is a right thing for you! Once you've decided that a travel trailer is right for you, it's time to start shopping! There are a few things to keep in mind when you're shopping for a travel trailer. First, you'll need to decide if you want a new or used trailer. If you buy a used trailer, you'll need to be prepared to potentially make any fixes or adjustments to the current setup to make it travel-ready. Consider also what you need if you buy new. Typically it's the largest investment but comes with peace of mind that there won't be much if any maintenance during the first year of ownership. If you buy from a reputable dealer, they will also help walk you through the process of setting up your new travel trailer. When you're thinking about where to buy your travel trailer, there are a few different things to keep in mind. You'll want to decide if you want to buy from a dealership or directly from the manufacturer. If you're really looking to get a good deal you need to look across the entire US, not just your immediate area. With the internet, it's easier than ever to find travel trailers for sale all over the country. You can also check out classified ads and online forums to find used travel trailers for sale. Oliver Travel Trailers has its very own membership/forum portal where you can see options for used Oliver Travel Trailers and talk with current owners. Another important matter you should consider is how many people you plan on having with you. Typically travel trailers have less space than an RV, so you'll need to decide if you want a travel trailer that can sleep two people or one person. If you have a family, you may want to consider a larger travel trailer so that everyone has enough space. Trailers by Oliver Travel Trailers typically fit small families, couples, and single people. They're perfect for 4 or fewer people to be very comfortable and not meant for more people. Once you've found a few travel trailers that you're interested in, it's time to start thinking about how you will be using the travel trailer. Where do you plan on taking it? What kind of travel trailer will you need for your planned activities? For example, if you want to go camping in the wilderness, you'll need a different kind of travel trailer than if you're planning on visiting national parks. You'll also need to think about how many people you plan on traveling with. This will help you decide on the size and type of travel trailer that you need. Luckily with Oliver's Trailers, you can get away with pretty much any kind of travel and take them just about anywhere in the United States. This also takes into consideration your lifestyle. Is the life you want to live in your trailer going to match up? For those who need to work full-time, it might not make sense to buy a travel trailer and live in it permanently, unless you want to be a remote worker! This may be the perfect option for someone wanting to travel the entire US and work remotely. You also have to think about how much stuff you're willing to get rid of. Remember, travel trailers are smaller than your average home, so you'll need to downsize your belongings. Finally, once you've decided on the perfect travel trailer for you, it's time to start planning your trip! This is where the fun really begins. Finally, when you're ready to buy a travel trailer, make sure you have all the necessary paperwork in order. This includes things like your driver's license, registration, and insurance. You'll also need to have a detailed list of the features and amenities that you want in your travel trailer. Once you have all of this information, you should be able to order from a dealer or go chat with a private seller. Now that you know how to buy a travel trailer, there's no limit to where you can go and what you can do. So get out there and start exploring! Purchasing a travel trailer is a big decision but with these six tips, we hope it will be easier for you to buy the perfect travel trailer for your needs.

  36. Share and Enjoy !Shares Camping with kids can be a lot of fun, but it's important to remember to keep them safe while you're enjoying the great outdoors. There are a number of things you can do to make sure your kids stay out of harm's way while camping, and we've compiled a list of our top 10 tips for keeping your young ones safe! Stay together as a group, wear shoes and protective clothing, use sunscreen and bug spray, and avoid eating wild plants - these are just some of the ways you can keep your kids safe while camping. So pack up the family tent and get ready for some fun under the stars! Stay Together The first tip is staying together. You always want to stay together while you're camping. If your kids are running off in different directions, it can be hard to keep track of them and make sure they're safe. Let them know ahead of time that they need to stick close by, and if they wander off, make sure you go after them right away. It's one of the main ways kids get lost or kidnapped while out in the wilderness. Always make sure your child has a buddy if it isn't you. Be Careful Around Water The second tip is to be wary of water. This goes both ways; staying hydrated and being careful around lakes, streams, rivers, or other bodies of water. This is important because if it's hot, your kids will get dehydrated quickly, and if they're playing in the water, they could easily drown. Make sure you have plenty of water with you, and that your kids take breaks often to drink. Also, don't let them play near water unsupervised, even if they can swim - it only takes a second for an accident to happen. Always Wear Shoes Another important tip is to wear shoes. Camping can mean lots of walking, and sometimes over rough terrain. Make sure your kids have sturdy shoes on their feet to protect them from cuts and scrapes. It also protects from bugs, ticks, and other insects along with other potentially poisonous or harmful plants. Carry/Wear Protective Clothing You should also carry and wear protective clothing with you when you go camping. Things like hats and long-sleeved shirts can help protect your kids from the sun, while jackets can keep them warm during the morning/evening. It's important to make sure that your kids are comfortable, there's nothing worse than having your kids constantly complaining that they're cold! Fire Safety Fire safety is another big one when it comes to camping with kids. Kids are curious by nature, and if they see a fire they may be tempted to touch it or play with it, which can obviously lead to serious injuries.Make sure that any fires are completely extinguished before leaving them unattended, and never let your kids play near open flames. You should practice fire safety before going out on a camp trip with your kids. Make sure they completely understand fire safety rules and follow them at all times. This is especially true while roasting hotdogs or making smores. There should always be supervision. Personal Protection Adults should have personal protection devices or weapons. This could be anything from a knife to bear spray. If you're camping in an area with wildlife, it's always better to be safe than sorry. This is for the safety of the kids in case of an animal attack or something else. The adult can use it to defend themselves as well as the children. This happens more often than you think, and especially when you're not in a more populated area, you want to make sure you protect the most vulnerable in your group. When you do bring a weapon, you must take the extra precaution and protection of those weapons from the children so no accidental injuries occur. Sunscreen and Bug Spray Sunscreen and bug spray are two more essentials for safe camping with kids. Be sure to apply sunscreen regularly, especially if you're going to be spending a lot of time outdoors. Bug spray will help keep mosquitoes and other insects away, and can also help prevent diseases like Lyme disease. Make sure you put sunscreen on your kids before they go outside, and reapply it often, especially if they're swimming or sweating. Harmful Plants Eating wild plants can cause serious harm if you don't know what you're doing or eating. Many plants can look harmless but be poisonous, so it's best to avoid them altogether. If you're not sure about a plant, don't let your kids eat it. Dangerous plants that are common in the US include: poison ivy, poison oak, and poison sumac. These plants can cause serious rashes and other problems if you come into contact with them. Be Flexible One final tip is to be flexible. Things seldom go according to plan when you're camping, so it's important to be able to roll with the punches. If your kid gets sick or injured, be prepared to deal with it and have a backup plan in case you need to leave the campsite earlier than planned. Things will inevitably go wrong, whether it's the weather not cooperating or you can't find firewood. It's important to be able to roll with the punches and go with the flow. This will help make your trip more enjoyable for everyone involved. The final bonus tip is to expect the unexpected. When you have children, especially young children you never know what is going to happen. Kids are notoriously unpredictable, and even if you think you've planned for everything, something will always come up that you didn't plan for. Being prepared for anything and everything is not always ideal, but it's always better to be prepared than not. No matter how well you plan, there's always a chance that something will happen that you didn't anticipate. Camping with kids can be a lot of fun, but it's important to be prepared and know what you're doing. There are a lot of things to think about when you're camping, and safety should always be your number one priority. By following these tips from the team at Oliver Travel Trailers, you can help ensure that your trip is safe and enjoyable for everyone involved!

  37. Share and Enjoy !Shares If you've ever found yourself with low water pressure in your RV, you know it can be a real pain. Not being able to take a proper shower or do the dishes can put a serious damper on your camping trip. Luckily, there are some things you can do to help improve the water pressure in your RV. Here are 8 tips for dealing with water pressure in your travel trailer or RV. Check for leaks One of the first things you should do if you're having low water pressure in your RV is to check for leaks. Even a small leak can cause big problems when it comes to water pressure. You'll want to check all of the hoses and fittings in your RV for any signs of leaks. If you find a leak, be sure to turn off the active water source and find ways to fix or replace the damaged part. Use a water pressure regulator If your RV is hooked up to a city water supply, it's a good idea to use a water pressure regulator. This will help keep the water pressure in your RV at a consistent level, which can prevent problems like low water pressure. You can typically find water pressure regulators at most hardware stores. Invest in a water pump If you frequently camp in areas with limited water resources, it might be a good idea to invest in a water pump. A water pump can help increase the water pressure in your RV, making it easier to take showers and do dishes. Water pumps are relatively affordable and can be found at most RV Supply shops or even local retailers. Don't use too many fixtures at once Don't use too many fixtures at once. If you're trying to take a shower and do the dishes at the same time, you're likely to experience low water pressure. This is because the water has to travel through more fixtures, which can reduce the pressure. Try to limit yourself to using one fixture at a time if possible. You can also take shorter showers. If you're used to taking long showers, you might need to adjust your habits when RVing. Low water pressure can make it difficult to get all the soap off your body, so it's best to take shorter showers. This will help conserve water and prevent low water pressure issues. Clean your water filter If you have a water filter in your RV, it's important to clean it on a regular basis. A dirty water filter can cause low water pressure, as well as other problems. You should consult your RV's owner's manual to find out how often to clean your water filter. If you have low water pressure in your RV, one of the first things you should check is your water filter. A clogged water filter can severely restrict the flow of water, resulting in low water pressure. To clean your RV water filter, simply remove it and rinse it off with a garden hose. If the filter is really dirty, you may need to soak it in a bucket of soapy water for a few hours before rinsing it off. Once your RV water filter is clean, reattach it and turn on the water to see if the pressure has increased. Check the water heater bypass valve If your RV has a water heater bypass valve, make sure it's in the proper position. The bypass valve allows water to bypass the water heater, which can help increase water pressure. Consult your RV's owner's manual to find out where the bypass valve is located and how to properly adjust it. This valve is responsible for regulating the amount of water that goes through the heater. If it is set too low, it can restrict the flow of water and cause low water pressure. You can adjust this valve by turning it clockwise or counterclockwise. Another thing that you can do is bleed the air out of the lines. This can be done by opening the faucets and letting the water run for a few minutes. This will help to get rid of any air that is trapped in the lines. Winterize your RV If your RV is going to be sitting for a while, it's important to winterize it. This will help prevent low water pressure and other problems. To winterize your RV, simply turn off the water supply and open all the faucets in your RV. This will allow any remaining water to drain out of the lines. Once the water has drained out, add some RV antifreeze to the lines. This will help prevent the water from freezing and causing damage. Finally, close all the faucets and turn off the power to your RV. This will help conserve energy and prevent any unnecessary damage. Get professional help If you're having trouble troubleshooting low water pressure in your RV, it's best to get professional help. There are a number of RV dealers and service centers that can help you diagnose and fix the problem. They will likely be able to offer more tips and advice than what is available online or in manuals. In addition, they will have the proper tools and equipment to properly fix the problem. Getting professional help is always the best course of action when dealing with complex issues like low water pressure. So to wrap up: If your RV is having low water pressure issues, there are a number of things you can do to try to fix the problem. First, check your water filter and make sure it's clean. If it's dirty, clean it off with a garden hose. Next, check the water heater bypass valve and make sure it's in the proper position. You can also try bleeding the air out of the lines by opening the faucets and letting the water run for a few minutes. Finally, if your RV is going to be sitting for a while, winterize it by turning off the water supply and adding some RV antifreeze to the lines. If you're still having trouble, it's best to get professional help. They will likely be able to offer more tips and advice than what is available online or in manuals.

  39. Are we all talking about the same form here? I agree with JW - with the agreement that is referenced by Rivernerd above it seems to me that both Oliver and the Trailer Owner are "protected", but, it is the Prospective buyer that is the one who bears the weight of legal expenses, etc. Perhaps, if I was a prospective buyer I might have a bit of concern about signing.

  40. You have to play with the length, (and they are each different lengths). After a couple of failed attempts we figured out how long they needed to be and we've not had the TV fall since. We're currently have over 12,000 miles on our E2.

  42. Well based on the clarifications, I haven't read the information on the Oliver program site, that Matt has provided, I think the program is a definite improvement over the previous program. You will definitely realize a bigger monetary reward if you participate regularly, and a pre-paid debit is about the easiest way to transfer money to a recipient on a regular basis. It's the same as the HSA card I have to carry, only I can use this reward money on anything I want. If that's not good enough, step aside and leave it alone. Regarding the so called liabilities, we all invite strangers into our campers, cars, homes and lives in general and don't think twice about the liabilities, without a reward program. If you get to talking to a lawyer about the "possibilities" you will retreat to a padded room surrounded by barbed wire fences and no trespassing signs. I have no idea if I will participate once my Ollie arrives, it really isn't a driving interest for me. But having said that I have always been willing to share with folks the things I own if they are genuinely interested. I'm always willing to help educate people with the things I've learned and experienced and my door is always open to folks that show themselves as friendly and of a like mind. And no I don't hang around with lawyers, but have hung with a few "outlaws" throughout my life. 😆

  43. Matt, Thank you for all of this information. We have a better understanding of the tier reward system with your example given. David

  44. I would like to see a copy of that Hold Harmless Agreement. While requiring the Hold Harmless is a positive step for Oliver to take, it still does not outweigh the effect of the Indemnification paragraph in the Terms and Conditions. If Oliver removes that Indemnification language, and in its place promises to "fully defend and indemnify" any Oliver owner who shows a trailer to a prospective purchaser, then the new Rewards Program would be much more attractive. As presently written, I believe it is a remarkably bad deal.

  45. “There was a thread on FB wherefeedback was also lukewarm but it was quickly deleted as it seems any criticism of Oliver is not allowed there anymore”. TexasGuy, I agree with your observation. I have noticed the same with regard to the admin overreach on the Facebook Oliver page. Deleting posts or content because “admin” does not particularly like or agree with the content or a reply by members meh…not so much. Silencing, muzzling, or deleting posts is not a way to facilitate good discussion or honest feedback by owners. The FB Oliver admin would do well to really just lighten up just a bit. Hopefully they will do better and not remain heavy handed. I also think the administrators should be rotated out often. As for the rewards program and card, we have little interest at best. Patriot🇺🇸

  46. Felt too cumbersome to me. Last thing I want is another credit card and login to keep track off. There was a thread on FB where feedback was also lukewarm but it was quickly deleted as it seems any criticism of Oliver is not allowed there anymore. Like others not something I’m interested in doing. I’ll answer questions from curious folks while camping but not show through Oliver. With all the new trailers coming out plenty of folks to show trailers.

  47. Yeah. I mean it's not, really. Right? But it just feels kinda "corporate" and a bit Tupperware Party-ish to me. I can't quantify it, but it feels less small-town "Oliver Family" than the old system somehow. Will the Platinum Ollie owners form their own clique and not let the Bronze owners sit at their table at the rally? 😮 I'm being facetious, of course. Practically speaking, it seems like a well thought out concept (liability concerns aside), but it just doesn't feel warm and fuzzy to me somehow. Seems like something Grand Design would do with their YouTube influencers.

  48. I'm catching up on some reading, I know this from a few months back, but @Ron and Phyllis it's great to hear someone else enjoying the Elite I like we do. We use the beds the same way. We do use the side bed in a permanent setup like @David Purkey was considering. I hope that is working out well. We find we enjoy not having to setup/change the beds daily. And we have pillows that allow us to use either the back area as a lounge area for us both sitting up w/feet up and watch TV together. Or we have our "separate" areas and I'll use the dinette as my day-time lounge area with my wife in the rear. We have some nice sized lap trays we use for the few times we eat in the camper. We've had our trailer (Hull #36, third owners) for about 18 months and have found this to work out very well for us. We all have our own ways of course, but again it's nice to hear about some shared views too.
