Hig Posted September 15, 2018 Posted September 15, 2018 im an ex commercial fishermen familiar with fiberglass boat hulls and have often wondered why no one make a travel trailer much like a boat hull is made, then I found Oliver. My wife and I will retire in 5 years and our truck is paid off in 3 at which time we will purchase an Ellite II. I have great respect for the Oliver brand and construction methods and for those who know the difference in this product as comapaired to conventional methods or even other single Shell fiberglass trailers.

Moderators Mike and Carol Posted September 15, 2018 Moderators Posted September 15, 2018 Welcome, Hig! The Oliver is very boat-like, it just rides on wheels not the water. Glad to have you on board. Mike Texas Hill Country | 2016 Elite II #135 | 2020 Ram 2500 6.7L
Moderators topgun2 Posted September 16, 2018 Moderators Posted September 16, 2018 Hig - Thanks for the compliment to those of us who own Olivers. Not only is the general construction very boat-like but many of the components on Olivers are also derived from the boating industry. You should feel right at home - both here and in an Oliver.

Hig Posted September 16, 2018 Author Posted September 16, 2018 Your welcome Bill and thanks for the reply, Brenda and I are working hard to be able to purchase an Ellite II. I did have to explain to her the difference because so many less expensive travel trailers have more interior space and goodies but in the end she respects my understanding of fabrication methods and working systems
Moderators topgun2 Posted September 17, 2018 Moderators Posted September 17, 2018 Hig - One more round in the chamber of arguments in favor of molded fiberglass campers is that they usually hold their value much better than virtually any of the others on the market. There is more than one previous owner of an Oliver who has sold theirs for more than what they paid for it.
