Frequently Asked Questions

Twin brothers Jim and John Oliver, fueled by family camping quests and cross-country job-site stays, tired of fragile trailers that broke down constantly. Vowing to forge unbreakable fiberglass wonders for generations of wanderlust—legacies handed down through generations—in 2008 they unveiled the Oliver Legacy Elite (18 foot) and Legacy Elite II (23 foot) campers.

In 2008, the Oliver family launched the first Oliver fiberglass travel trailers. Amid the 2009 economic crash, we paused production but upheld service for owners while our bath products division preserved our talented team. Rebounding with the RV industry's revival, we reignited trailer manufacturing in 2014—and we've surged forward ever since. Today, our family of companies proudly employs over 500 dedicated trailblazers, crafting legacies of adventure.

What sets Oliver apart? Wood-free construction in roof, walls, and floor—zero rot risks. Aircraft-grade aluminum frames deliver unbreakable durability, longevity, and lighter weight over steel. Our hull's four seamless composite shells ensure supreme strength, insulation, and storm-proofing. Plus, our standards are rivals' luxuries. Unrivaled in fiberglass travel trailers, Oliver builds adventures that endure.

Yes—conquer sub-zero chills or scorching heat in an Oliver.

Pro tip: Winterize thoroughly during transit in freeze-risk zones to keep the journey flawless.

Yes! Oliver's lighter weight stems from an aluminum frame and all-composite hulls. Its sleek, aerodynamic profile trails your tow vehicle flawlessly—effortless lane shifts and corner carves await.

Same unbreakable core, worlds of wander: Elite I's compact 18'5" single-axle (5,000 lb GVWR) fits solo quests with one floor plan. Elite II stretches to 23'6" tandem-axle power (7,000 lb GVWR) for family epics, offering two layouts. Both? Lifetime legends of adventure.

Tow ratings vary by config—engine, transmission, springs—like a 2013 Ford F-150's 5,500-11,000 lbs range. Most modern half-tons handle the Elite II's 7,000-lb GVWR (or Elite I's 5,000 lbs) with ease. Match your truck's limit to our GVWR or above.

Here is a list of things you should bring to your delivery day: Water filter, socket-set toolbox, wheel chocks, jack blocks, levelers, flashlight, emergency kit, tire gauge. Unlock pro tips in our blogs.

Both models can comfortably sleep up to 3 people.

Gel coat—hallmark of cars, boats, planes—shines like fresh auto paint. Wash and wax regularly; zap bird droppings and sap fast; shelter when idle. Preserve that pristine glow for epic miles.

There are three ways to transfer heat: Conduction (through a solid material), Convection (through air space), and Radiant (reflective heat transmission.) Oliver uses materials and construction techniques to take advantage of all three. The fiberglass hulls provide conductive insulation, while the built-in air gap between the inner and outer hull provides convective protection, just like you would find in a double-sided insulated cup. The Oliver is fully insulated between the exterior and interior shells with an insulated double-sided radiant barrier, best described as follows: "Reflective aluminum foil on each side of a 5mm (13/64 inch) polyethylene bubble center."

"*Polyethylene Bubble + Radiant barrier + Vapor Barrier + Air Gap Barrier".

This unique material combines radiant, convective, and conductive protection. The foil radiates heat back into the camper in the winter or away from the camper in the summer. The foam insulation is infused with billions of tiny air bubbles that provide convective protection, while the foam provides conductive protection. This powerful product is only 13/64" thick and provides an R16 insulation rating. You would need approximately 4 3/4" of standard fiberglass batt insulation to equal this performance. Our insulation serves as a radiant, vapor, and air barrier, making camping at any temperature a pleasurable experience.

Ditch the dirt, mold, and allergens—Oliver skips carpet traps for seamless sound-dampening and all-weather temp control. Our hypoallergenic gel-coat interiors? Effortless clean, pure adventure bliss.

Effortless campside setup: Electric three-point stabilization jacks deploy via trailer switches. Pair with RV leveling blocks for flawless leveling.

We offer optional true sine wave inverters to help you utilize all of your 110v outlets while protecting your sensitive electronics. This allows you to run your microwave and other electronics as long as you have sufficient battery capacity. Large items can draw your battery bank down, so be conservative in your use.

Our standard awning is a powered awning that can automatically retract in high wind conditions.

All of our travel trailers models and components manuals can be found on the Oliver University webpage.

You may also ask other Oliver owners on our forum webpage. They will be happy to help!

Depending on your specific needs, there are a couple of different options. The first option would be to take your Oliver to the nearest Oliver RV Dealer/Service Shop. If one is not nearby, our service manager can put you in touch with a great RV service station near you. In some cases, it is better to bring your Oliver back to the factory. For more information, please call us at 1-888-526-3978, or you may submit a ticket using our service form.

First sweep it with soft bristle broom to remove any loose dirt or debris. Then simply mop with a Swiffer. It's that easy.

Transportation Grade Gel Coat is tough, but it's relatively easy to repair if a rock chip does happen. Matching color is not a problem even several years down the road because of the added UV protectant in our Bright White Gel Coat. We suggest some type of mud flap on the tow vehicle to help prevent rocks from being thrown against the trailer. Airstream offers a rock guard on some models, but the aluminum will become dented by stones over time. These dents will be much larger and more noticeable than the tiny chips that could potentially happen to the fiberglass (our travel trailers won't dent), even in large hail storms.

For this reason, many insurance companies charge higher premiums for aluminum trailers. One other suggestion would be to look at the 3M products website. They make a product called Clear Mask that can protect the front of your trailer and is easy to replace every few years if needed. The bottom line is anything can happen, and if you travel, the ALCAN HWY chips will happen but can be fixed quickly and cheaply. However, most of our customers have had little to no problems with chips in the fiberglass. Please look to our Owner forums and ask actual owners about their experiences.

We recommend a 3500w generator which will provide enough power for the Oliver and will also run the AC.

You must repack the wheel bearing periodically for models without the Dexter Nev-R Lube Axle. From Dexter: Along with bearing adjustment, proper lubrication is essential to your trailer axle's current function and reliability. Bearings should be lubricated every 12 months or 12,000 miles, whichever occurs first.

Repacking the wheel bearing is not required for new models that feature the Dexter Nev-R Lube Axles.

The lug nuts should be torqued to 110 ft/lbs.

There are many great wash and wax products out there. Most owners use products for fiberglass boats. We recommend 3M Marine wash and wax or any products made by Shurhold. For a quick clean and shine of a not-so-dirty trailer, we recommend Serious Shine by Shurhold.
