If you have had more than one Ollie, please include the mileage of all of them, combined as one figure. I think it will be eye opening to see how many owners “rack up those miles”. Thanks.

Just for grins, you might want to add 150,000 to 200,000 as a category.  

Some of us early adopters have traveled a lot of miles. I can think of at least two who would probably fit that bill. We're not quite at the 150k mark yet, as the last two Covid  years we only went to our camping property in NC and back. Many years, 12 to 14,000 miles of memories, and beautiful campsites.

I agree. That "built to last a lifetime" is more than a slogan. I know our trailer will outlast us, and probably our daughter,  too, if maintained. Like our 44 year old fiberglass sailboat, it just keeps on going.

We have no hesitancy in taking it into the wilds. Love our little Oliver.

@Mike and Carol, that's another thing most Oliver owners are good at. Maintaining records, as well as their trailers. and, traveling. 

You've done a done a lot of traveling in 4  or 5 years.

We’ve enjoyed every minute!  We picked up in the spring of 2016 so we’re at about 5.5 years.  Still getting comments at various locations and still being stopped at gas stations and supermarkets by curious folks.  Mike

21,560 Miles during four summers.

I keep a log, but my F-150 does a much better job of keeping track of my Oliver miles.

We are at 6,800 after 7 months of ownership. Not retired yet so limited on how many/how long trips can be.

That's a lot of miles, on vacation time. Good for you.

About 3900 of that was a 17 day trip to Utah in September. Another 1200 was bringing it home from Tennessee. So without those 2 big trips we'd only be around 1700 miles over 7 months. I only have 4 weeks vacation per year so hoping to do a 2 week trip each year and then we camp within 2-3 hours a couple of weekends each month. Since we're in TX we can camp pretty much year round.
