Newbie saying hi

Greetings from coastal South Carolina. I’ve joined to gain more insight into ownership.  My wife & I tent camped for about 30 years. We bought a Sylvan Sport Go, which was a great solution for transitioning from primitive camping.  The Go was flooded during Hurricane Florence.  We replaced it with an Airstream Bambi 16.  It fills our current wants & needs, the wet bath is wonderful, especially compared to no bath tent camping!  We are long-weekenders, to 4-5 days out at a time. Longer trips are planned, and we have a Honda 2200i converted to propane, a Goal Zero Yeti 1000 & a solar suitcase...so boondocking is a thing for us.
A tandem axle camper will be in our future, and the Oliver seems to be a customizable 4 season trailer, we can have built to suit our needs.

 Thanks for having an active forum, and I appreciate the wealth of info I’ve found so far.

Welcome to the forum!

Sorry about your Sylvan Sport Go. I've admired them at the rv supershow. It's a really clever little camper.

If you have any questions about the Oliver, fire away. Lots of people with answers.

Welcome neighbors! 

Do the factory tour, you won’t be disappointed. We live in the foothills of Western NC and made two trips to Hohenwald, Tenn before placing our order for our 2020 OLEll. Looking back the two trips were so well worth it.
It’s a big financial decision for most, so read and read, research, and do your due diligence. Go back as far as possible in the forum archives, you will learn a lot. Check out Oliver University...just a wealth of info provided by Oliver. 
We made a list of wants and needs. We also decided to consider resale when upgrading our options. Many options can be added later by Oliver, but it will come at a price vs factory custom order.
There are certain creature comforts that we just did not want to do without given the price point of the Oliver. Now and then used Oliver’s pop up in the classifieds on here...possibly worth considering, however they move quickly.

We took delivery June 16th and are very happy overall with our 2020 OLEll. 
Good luck on your decision!
