Wannabe Ollie Owner

Hi Ollie owners. My name is Fred, and i just happened upon Oliver Travel Trailers last week. I've joined the forum to find out all I can about them. I currently camp and boondock in a converted 6 x 13 V-nose enclosed cargo trailer which I bought new in 2016 when I retired. I did all the conversion work myself, and it is fully outfitted with all the creature comforts. It was a fun project, but it is a camper for one. I recently married, and it is not suited for two. My wife and I plan to visit the factory and see an Elite II when we pass through Tennessee next month. Until then I will soak up all I can from the forum.

I think you will be pleased with what you see at the Oliver factory, good luck and safe travels.  Where is home base?

Welcome to the forum, Fred.

Fred, welcome!  The tour is a great idea and most of you questions can be answered there.  Those that can’t wait for the tour can be answered here anytime.  Mike

Thanks Maverick. I am currently in Baton Rouge LA where I have lived and worked for 44 years. I am selling my house and most contents to move to Little Rock AR where my new wife has a home. That will be "home base" in a few months.

Welcome Fred!  I too am from Baton Rouge - Geaux Tigers! (LSU and Tara grad  LOL).  We started our journey looking into Oliver early this year...Had a great factory tour in April - and bit the bullet.  Now waiting for an October delivery.  Safe travels and enjoy your trip - it's a beautiful part of the country!  This forum is great - so much experience and ready to share and help.

Laissez le bon temps rouler in an Oliver  LOL!

You will truly enjoy the factory tour,  you can also watch it over and over again on YouTube and on the video section of Olivers web site. Good luck

Hi there, haven't been on the forum in a while. Didn't make the trip this summer when I could have made the factory tour. I couldn't wait and placed my order in July for delivery in May. Will make factory tour before selecting upgrades. I'd like to see yours when it arrives.

Geaux Tigers 👍

No problem at all...we are scheduled for pick up end of October and would be happy to show you when we get back.  Prayers for you given Ida - you and Lake Chuck just can't get a break weather wise.
