Rene Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 Hello Everyone! I am a 58 years young lady who is now obsessed with all things Oliver travel trailers. I converted a 36' school bus in 2018 and lived in it for 3.5 years. I then converted a Ford Transit Connect and lived and traveled in it for 4 months. I simply love the lifestyle and am ready to secure my final rig; truck and Oliver Legacy Elite ll; twin bed layout. I am stationary for now, in the Phoenix, AZ area, planning and saving and taking well thought out steps in my purchases over the next couple months. I am an RN by profession. I am so looking forward to seeing others out on the road in the next year, enjoying these beautiful trailers. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators topgun2 Posted February 12, 2023 Moderators Share Posted February 12, 2023 These days just about anyone that has that "RN" profession is an angel. I've personally been helped by those angels and I'm certainly one that is VERY grateful. Glad you found Oliver like just about everyone here. They are truly something different as is the company that makes them. If there is anything that any of can do to make your journey into the Ollie world a bit more pleasant, please, just let us know.

Patriot Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Welcome to the forum Rene. A great place to learn more about Oliver TT. Now is a good time to read as much as you can in Oliver University. It will really come in handy when you get ready to place your final order. How exciting! Take your time when considering a new tow vehicle. No one ever said I have too much or too large of a tow vehicle. Think cargo capacity when selecting a TV and how much time you will be actually driving. We started out with a half ton Tundra and it was not long after we bumped up to an 1 ton diesel, by far a much higher comfort level on longer trips, ridiculous amount of power, better mileage, engine braking, and much more cargo capacity. There are many options out there. Best of luck with your choices!

Mainiac Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 One thing about a tow vehicle: size!. However, but f you are still going to go to work, where do you park it at work? Staff usually has to park away from the doors. A parking spot for a big big tow vehicle maybe be way way out back. A small hike after a long trying day can help clear the head and heart, unless you are on the night shift... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Dehne Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 Welcome to the family. You will not regret getting a Oliver. Best trailer made. Doing a lot of research on the trailer helps with the wait. Buying the stuff to put in the Oliver is fun. 3 John & Chris Dehne Manchester, MD. 2021 Elite II twin Hull# 901 “Fiberbeergrass” 2021 Ram 2500 Cummins 4x4 Life is good!

That is exactly why I am here on this forum right now. 🙂 I literally thought in my mind, what can I do today, Sunday, that helps move myself towards my purchase, and here I am.

Going to test drive trucks tomorrow. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
