Shoobie8 Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 So excited to join the Oliver family. We have been looking for awhile and found Hull 464! Loving it so far. Have you all named your Olivers? We are trying to come up with an original name but we are stumped! 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators topgun2 Posted March 6, 2023 Moderators Share Posted March 6, 2023 I don't normally name vehicles, campers, motorcycles, etc. But - one morning prior to taking delivery my wife and I were sitting at the breakfast table and she said that I have to name the Oliver. I said "why" and she (three times in a row) said "because". Well, after that third time My "husband alarm bells went off" and I (finally) realized that she was actually trying to tell me something - "duh". So, I said, "OK, what should I name it". She replied, "Twist". Well, it took me about 30 seconds of sitting there with a more than usual dumb look on my face before I figured it out. 6 1 2 2023 Ford F150 Lariat 3.5EB FX4 Max Towing, Max Payload, 2016 Oliver Elite II - Hull #117 "Twist" Near Asheville, NC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph and Dud B Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 Towing with a full size van. Nice. Our second tow vehicle was a Ford E350 7-seater with the V10. Awesome tow vehicle. We went cross-country with it and our 27' travel trailer. Had to switch to pickups when we changed to fifth wheels, but I wish I had that van today. Congrats on your new Ollie. 3 Stephanie and Dudley from CT. 2022 LE2, Hull #1150: Eggcelsior. Tow vehicle: 2016 GMC Sierra 6.0 gas dually 4x4.

My husband built out the van as a camper van. It has a queen bed, solar and lithium battery, and a pull out kitchen. But....no real bathroom! And no standing room.This was our maiden voyage with the Oliver but it seems like it will be a great tow vehicle. It is also a V10. It is really nice to be able to pull out the kitchen and cook but also to be able to be comfortable for the night. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Mike and Carol Posted March 6, 2023 Moderators Share Posted March 6, 2023 We call ours “the trailer” or “the camper”. We’re so creative…. Mike 5 2 1 Texas Hill Country | 2016 Elite II #135 | 2020 Ram 2500 6.7L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie-Haus Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 As most have figured out we're calling ours Ollie-Haus. A little conjunction playing on our last name. We do this a lot. Our home is referred to as Arrowhead-Haus. We live at Arrowhead golf course north of Greenfield Indiana. Our garden shed is labeled The Green-Haus. We grow bedding plants in there in the early spring, and it has green siding. The garage is The Carriage-Haus, cause what else would we call it. 😜 6 What's today?............. the most frequently asked question as a retiree 🙄 Chris and Stacie Neuhaus Greenfield, Indiana 2021 Ford F350 7.3L Tremor (Redzilla) LE2 #1373 - Ordered 10/21/22 - Delivered 05/10/23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Welcome! Nice looking rig! We named ours “Betty” Kirk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom and Doreen Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Tom is not a fan of naming anything either, but I am calling her "Olive." Partly due to the Oliver connection of course, and partly because I am a big fan of the author Elizabeth Strout and she has two "Olive" books - "Olive Kitteridge" and "Olive, Again." As an avid reader, that sealed the deal for "Olive," for me anyway. I'm quite sure Tom has performed an eye roll or two when I use it, but so far he's been very discreet about it. 😀 Unfortunately, OTT doesn't allow customization of the back sign any longer or we would have put our hull number there. Instead, we ordered a special license plate - "EGG - 1321" and are looking forward to receiving it soon. Happy trails everyone! 4 Tom & Doreen • 2023 Elite ll • Hull #1321 • 2023 Tundra Platinum Crew Max • Cheshire CT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank C Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 When we were given our Hull #461, the name “Ocean Boulevard” immediately came to mind. Haven’t gotten around to putting a palm tree decal on the trailer yet though. And I don’t want to call the trailer “Eric” 😂. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mountainman198 Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 “Lottie” is what I named my E2, as in, “la di frickin da!” “Down by the river” seemed too long for a name. 🤪 1 1 2021 Elite II, Hull# 898 2018 Toyota Tundra, 2003 Dodge Ram 3500 5.9l SRW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators topgun2 Posted March 7, 2023 Moderators Share Posted March 7, 2023 There are a few owners that have name their Oliver - Olive. I believe that one of them had the "third brake light" decal changed to that. And, of course, there is at least one Oliver named Olivia. Bill p.s. Almost any print shop/sign shop worth its weight can easily make a hull number decal for you and they are fairly easy to apply too. 5 2023 Ford F150 Lariat 3.5EB FX4 Max Towing, Max Payload, 2016 Oliver Elite II - Hull #117 "Twist" Near Asheville, NC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
