I'm a Wannabe and have been for awhile

I might be ready to buy a used Oliver Elite II (older than 2022) twin bed by June or July. (Fingers crossed) I've been researching the Oliver for at least two years now. I had to do some other things first. Got my master's degree and started developing an online biology course for high schoolers (I'm a teacher). It's time to find an Oliver.

I've owned campers before and love life in the outdoors. It sure would be nice to find one with special features for off-gridding.

I will be networking to speak with anyone who wants to sell their Oliver come summer time. I'm not interested in going through a dealership, though.

Welcome @TravelWell

If you have not already done so keep an eye out on the FB Oliver Travel Trailer For Sale by owner page. There are some really amazing deals that pop up occasionally. 

I attached a screen shot of one that recently -posted. It’s highly recommend to have cash or check in hand as well kept and maintained Olivers move quickly.

Disappointingly to many present forum members/owners, Oliver TT removed the ability for an owner to sell their Oliver on this Fourm. 😏 The concern it would impact nationwide dealer sales. It’s come to pass, that the dealer network really did not take off as planned and is all but limping along sorta of. Many of the original dealers selected are no longer selling or servicing new Olivers. Fortunately Oliver Service in Hohenwald is still servicing Olivers. 

The good news is as a result an Oliver Travel Trailer For Sale FB page was created.

Turns out for those of us that use FB or FB market place now have an even better and easier media to reach out to as prospective buyers interested in purchasing or selling a well maintained preowned Oliver. You will just have to trust me when I say you can SAVE  tens of thousands dollars off a new Oliver. Be patient and be ready. Also just beware of Olivers that have little to no actual documented service history. Many owners service their own Olivers as we do. We document everything we do on a spreadsheet to include logged miles, upgrades or mods or any maintenance or repairs completed by Oliver Service. 

Olivers in my humble opinion and 6 yrs in of long distance travel experience are the best Travel Trailers made. Like any camper they do require regular maintenance. 

Welcome, do ask questions, and all the best in your search for an OLE2!

Edit 01/20/2026- Please note that I have redacted the contact information on the Oliver Travel Trailer Owners FB page for the previous photo in this post. I don’t want anyone “confused” thinking my in intention was to start a classifieds post to sell preowned Olivers. My sole intent in my original post was to only provide a quick screen shot or example of what an FB Oliver TT for sale by owner page looks like to @TravelWell. 

Advertising or attempting to sell an Oliver Travel Trailer on this forum is not allowed per Oliver Travel Trailers Inc and forum rules.

See attached photo with newly redacted contact information of seller. Thanks!

I am taking steps to have cash in hand and watching Facebook. That one in St. Cloud MN just might be the one! And it's close to me (ND)! I'll reach out with a message. Thanks.

 North Dakota, I lived in Grand Forks for 5 years as I was attending UND to acquire a Chemistry Degree.  The weather was worse than terrible.  One has to live there to understand.  -12 last night.

Hahaha It's -29 now. Thank goodness it's only 9 mph of wind, though. I can move south in about 2-3 years.
