My wife Jane (Hospice nurse) and I (former Bosch employee) retired earlier this year and after a cross country trip to California from home base in Chicago by car, decided we needed to investigate trailers. We had followed Oliver for a year or two, and looked at fiberglass truck bed campers prior to purchasing this Elite2. 
 

Very happy with our decision - but making many rookie mistakes as we weren’t camper prior. So far, only correctable mistakes and a few serious close calls! 
 

We head to Hohenwald tomorrow for a factory tour. Currently enjoying Green River Lake State Park in Campbellsville, KY ( beautiful park)!

hope to meet you all in our coming travels!

Rich and Jane Walker

Wow! Small world! I worked in automotive aftermarket sales in Chicago and Germany , at a diesel exhaust plant in Grand Rapids, as country manager for all Bosch products in Philippines and ended in engineering out of Farmington Hills. 28 years of employment at an excellent company. Now time to travel North America!

Welcome @Richard Walker it’s always good to take a deep dive into Oliver University and your new owners manual. Oliver has also gone to great lengths to provide amazing owner support with this invaluable information. The videos Oliver has produced are extremely helpful. Naturally ask questions here on the forum we are more than willing to help.

Hope to meet you at the 2025 Oliver Rally! 

Safe Travels!
