Used Oliver advertisements Return to the Oliver Forum

[dewdev]

Could someone attending the upcoming 2026 Oliver Rally ask the Oliver folks:

Now that Oliver is back to only selling from their facilities in TN (no retail RV companies), can the Classified section be reopened on the forum to allow used Oliver's to be advertised there,

I can tell you that this subject has already been discussed with some of the senior folks at Oliver.

The reaction by Oliver has been "mixed" - but - in the final analysis there really is only one person who can make the Classified Section reappear.

I'm sure that if a fairly good number of current owners would make it known to the powers that be (email, snail mail and/or personal requests at the Rally) the odds of getting it back would be greatly improved.

I can see OTT not wanting to facilitate private sales of used Olivers. It's not a good business model.

On a personal basis, we're never buying or selling another Oliver, so who cares? I would think this is true for most of us. The Oliver is a life trailer that most of us buy once and keep in the family.

What would be helpful is a classified section for unused Oliver parts. I've sold my Calmark cover, sold my bike rack, sold my original 2KW Xantrex, all just from slight mentions in my mod posts. But it took 2 years to do so and an Oliver Parts sales section would be great (not a vendor space, just for owners). I'm not using our Andersen 2 5/16" WDH or brand new Nev-R Lube hubs. See, I did it again. I want a solid aluminum front basket that somebody here took off to add a locked/covered case.

If you've owned an Oliver for more than a couple of years, we all have stuff sitting on the shelf.
