You're welcome, Bella. We have 110 outlets in abundance in the Oliver... but we're off the grid often, and need a few more 12-volt outlets for computer inverter, phone chargers and a drip coffee maker I think I may buy. (I don't like perked coffee.) Lighting is all 12-volt, and again, abundant, individually switched to reduce power waste, with the option of turning everything off at the door. I also like the little courtesy step lights in and out, and there is a light in the closet and even in the slide-out battery compartment. I believe these are all standard, tho you'll want to check. There are a number of thoughtful standard touches that make life easy ... like the porch light that turns on from the inside just like home. Another favorite (standard) is the shower drain antisiphon valve located IN the shower instead of outside. Ok, I've gone on too much again. Good luck with your selection process. These guys put a lot of thought into the product, and yet are open and responsive to individual needs. I'll be happy to answer anything I can for you about our Oliver experience if you have more questions. Sherry
Wow Sherry, again Thank You. You make it sound even better than what I have read. Now tell me is there anything you don't care for or should I say something you would change about your Oliver? Bella
Hi, Bella,
You ask such good questions. Let's see... on a series of cold, icky, rainy days when everyone is stuck inside for more than we like... a second story loft would be nice... Oh, well....
Actually, upon discussion and reflection, I don't think either of us would look for changes in our Oliver. We spent a long time looking (as I'm sure you have), compared it to a lot of brands... stick built, alumicage , other molded fiberglass,... and reflecting, and the Oliver is what we chose. Everyone has special personal needs, different camping styles, different goals. We wanted small, lightweight, tough, sufficient storage & tankage, easy to tow, easy to store, easy to set up, easy to maintain... Gosh... I seem to be big on easy, huh? (Actually, I'm not that lazy... I just like to spend my free time on things I actually enjoy doing...) We looked, made notes, collected brochures & specs, looked again at the ones we liked, reflected on past camping experiences (good and bad), made our spreadsheets. We made the big leap a day after spending three and a half hours in the Oliver factory.
Little molded fiberglass trailers aren't for everyone. But we love the outdoors, & wanted to get away and see some more of these great United States, as well as more of our own area. We wanted to accomplish this using the tow vehicles we already owned. No big trucks or motorhomes for us. It just isn't who we are, never to knock the people who choose that course. Many of our friends and relatives have them, and they're equally happy. Different goals, different choices.
We like to use what we have, economically. It's nice to be able to hitch up the Oliver and go exploring on a whim with just a free day or two, or better yet, a week or month or two. We fit almost anywhere, we can cope with our without hookups. We also wanted to take a little of our own environment, lifestyle, and creature comforts with us. We think we've found that in our Oliver. We're comfortable, we have a little luxury while "roughing it", and we're very happy. I only hope for you that whatever camper you and your husband choose after your own personal investigations and reflections, that you're as happy as we are.
Okay, once again, I go on and on.... I'll stop now. Happy camping!
Well Seadwag/Sherry, Again you have been so helpful, I appreciate your time and your thoughts on the Oliver. It helps to ease our minds that we are making the best decision for us. Hearing from Oliver owners has been a great help to affirm what we have been reading about it. As I have said, there is so much positive feed back on the Oliver its almost like it's a make-believe travel trailer. You are so right when you say its not for everyone, but sure seems perfect for us. Again, Thank You for your time. Bella
