2026 YM Oliver awning style windows and other changes

[Patriot]

A few Oliver showroom floor photos of the Lippert awning style windows installed on 26 YM Olivers.

It’s my understanding from Oliver that these windows will allow for retro fit on existing Olivers. 

Pricing on the retro fit of all (5) windows has not been announced yet. 

 

 

3” max opening. 

Black interior frame and pull down roller shade. Also note the new white belly band.

max of 3 inches? Ouch, that does not seem like a lot of airflow.

Not the Euro-style I was expecting. We had these on a previous trailer. Not much airflow. I wouldn't replace all my windows with these but might do just the one over the dinette for airflow on rainy days. Are they double pane?

Looking at the side profile, they do not look to be double pane.

This change seems like a step backwards. I prefer the look and functionality of the old-style windows and blinds. We pass things through our windows often and enjoy the airflow and connection with the outdoors when inside and they are fully open. That valance, unfortunately, looks like something from 1995. Thumbs up, though, on the white belly band!

John, & @routlaw Rob,

My understanding is that its a (Lippert) Bonded 3000 series glass window.

According to the Lippert sales brochure those windows are "Available with single-glazed and dual-glazed panels." I hope Oliver is choosing double pane. Also, as I recall, there was a hack involving drilling out a rivet that would allow those windows to open further.

Link for somewhat better description of these windows. 

I have mixed feelings about them myself. Not sure double pane is that big of a deal after years of use. Disappointed they only open 3 inches. The valance thing looks dorky. Always thought the chrome stuff looked tacky so an improvement with the white trim piece. Love the no maintenance of the windows though. 

The existing windows on the Oliver have always been the bane of ownership to me. Poorly designed and out of date.

For us, the advantage of double pane isn't temperature control, it's noise reduction. They really do help when the guy with the huge Bluetooth speaker sets up next to you. But the bigger problem for me is that those Lippert windows really don't move much air. We never really felt a breeze in our old trailer. That said, they're better in the rain. For functionality, I'd like to have just one swing out window for use on rainy days. I know some of the other fiberglass trailers do that with the rear window.

For those members who don’t do FB, here is recent pic of a few 26 YM interior updates from the Oliver FB page. I am seeing the fiber-granite sinks, a vent over the closet door where the pervious speaker use to be mounted. A new Bluetooth speaker, induction cook top, a texture wet bath wall, under cabinet switch lights, a new bath door, and the white belly band. 🇺🇸

In a different view, the flexible reading lights are different, with the switch on the base.

[jd1923]

It looks like an Oliver to me! Not much different.

Is that wallpaper on the bath/closet door wall?

[Steph and Dud B]

I would prefer an induction stovetop with the lithium power packages...
