New to us Ollie Owners!

[Shoobie8]

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!

[MAX Burner]

Thanks, Martin - nice looking rig, brother!  Here's our new rig after just getting it over the weekend:

Well...  "Ollie" works for us (and I'm sure for many others 😁)

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.

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.

It took me a few minutes but what a FANTASTIC name!

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.

Congrats and welcome to the Oliver family! 
We most often call ours Ollie, but have call it numerous names,  Olive, The Camper, Olly Oop, Muhammad “Ollie”.🤷🏻‍♀️😂

Actually, its funny watching peoples faces while they think about it.  This is especially so for English teachers.

No name for the LE II, yet - but Diane will come up with something cute I'm certain...

[Mike and Carol]

We call ours “the trailer” or “the camper”.  We’re so creative….  Mike

[Ollie-Haus]

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. 😜

Welcome! Nice looking rig! We named ours “Betty”

[Tom and Doreen]

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!

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” 😂.  

 

[Mountainman198]

“Lottie” is what I named my E2, as in, “la di frickin da!”  
 

“Down by the river” seemed too long for a name. 🤪

 

[topgun2]

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.

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.
