Looks like a new model ‘Coming Soon’

[DanielBoondock]

From their Twitter/X feed. Single axel, I’ll guess larger than the I but smaller than the II

My guess is an Apex version of the single axle

I'd bet - 

the same size as the current Elite I.  Simply put - with each of the four molds that it take to make any Oliver costing in excess of $2,000,000 (i.e. total cost would be in excess of $8,000,000) the cost of introducing a third size of travel trailer is simply too high.  I'd also bet that similar to what has been done with the Elite II, a different model and/or trim level for the existing Elite I is behind that cover in the pic.

The OTT website has been updated since I last looked and has a nice comparison of the different current models. I notice that OTT has picked up on some of the Oliver Owner's personal upgrades, which is neat (such as offering an air fryer in lieu of a microwave).

Yeah after I wrote that I thought “nah, it’ll be an upgraded I”. But $2M?? I knew those molds are expensive but that is nuts. Well $500k per mold I guess makes more sense. You make a fiberglass one-off model (the ‘plug’ I think?), then build the fiberglass mold off that. Still seems high but what do I know … 

 

Edit: easier bet; first reveal will be at the Rally

Could be a coincidence. But there was once an old hull with an Air Fryer upgrade. 🤣

To me none of the new features mean so much. What I think they should do is not really marketable. It's not good copy on the website to state, "you won't have to mess up the beds anymore!" But it sure would make things better for new owners if they thought more about convenience and maintenance! For example... 😎

And their choices of inverters and chargers, etc. could truly be improved!

They ran with Xantrex inverters for a decade. But for SCs went from Blue Sky, to Zamp, to Victron. Now Rush Solar on both?

You'd really want the Apex with TWO (2) of those 48V 100A batteries (for 800 vs. 400 Ah). One is not enough and two won't fit! 🙃

Lithionics and Platinum upgrades are extremely expensive. They could offer a econ-model LiFePO4 battery.

They could go 100% Victron. Now that's marketable!
It just makes sense to use components that work well together, and view status all on one app!
