snowgypsy

Thank you everyone, and your posts do make sense. We did review the spec sheet for one of the units that did list the options/add-ons (inventory unit), and I did attempt to do an "About You" on the profile. We are delayed when it comes to making specific predictions on what we will be doing do to life with an adult child with developmental disabilities and what seems to be infinite issues with getting residential services for him. We spent 6 years living in the rural area outside of Tucson, AZ where we learned about snowbirding and full-timing, that was 30 years ago! We are currently in Emporia, KS, not a top choice of places to be, and just trying to figure "it" out. Again, thank you so much for taking the time to give us feedback. I'll get back to the thread when we can define better what we are planning to do. Cathy

While upgrades and add-ons are great, I am wondering how much more is really necessary to add to the base model. I don't question whether or not the value for the money is there, but our position is more that an Oliver would be a "nice" to have than an absolute necessity. I know many options are things that can be added aftermarket if one decides they are necessary. We are very familiar with the conventional RVs from pop-up to travel trailers having had 9 of them, and are now shopping for something that will serve us in our retirement years, and are looking very seriously at the lineup of fiberglass molded TTs. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated as this decision on a unit is making my head spin! Thank you.

Both myself and our son are 5'4", average weight. I keep hearing that you shrink when you get older but, no luck with my husband shrinking yet! And, some day Quartzite. Lived in the Tucson area for 6 years in the 90's and loved the desert, but not so much in the summer. Ah, wouldn't it be nice to follow the sun!

We have owned 8 RVs, different classes, and currently own a Coachman pop-up. We are looking at all of the fiberglass trailers but it is like comparing apples to oranges at this point since the variations in construction and cost are so great. So, I'm checking on the websites, Facebook and forums as we try to sort this out. We will both be 60 years old this year so this will most likely be our last RV purchase. Issues for us are that my husband is 6'2" and we have a son, 27 years old with DS, that will travel with us not to mention, pets! Makes it much more of a challenge to find something that will work. We are in KS and if we had one right now with the current temps, I wouldn't be sitting here at the computer. The Oliver is extremely nice and I do hope that despite whatever decision we ultimately make, that the company thrives. It would be nice to see "quality" rise to the top again in the US.
