I just towed this beast from Ohio to Maine, no problems, no sway, etc, didn't even slow me down.

Hi, Julie,
Our 17' Oliver is a really easy to tow, easy to setup molded fiberglass trailer. 2400 dry, 3500 gross. Lots of personalization possible... Great storage and tankage for its size. My favorite for ease of use...electric stabilizer and tongue jacks... The website doesn't show the new twin bed plan that offers a little more storage and walk-around space... but there are some photos on the forum.

We tow with a Silverado, but one of our forum members tows with a Tacoma and is very happy with the combo.

Another vote for the Oliver here. I love them and hopefully next year we may get one too. Very easy for a woman to set up by herself.

We tow a 17 ft Escape with our Toyota Tacoma - Under 2000# dry weight and narrower and easier to tow than a Bigfoot. I also believe they are a high quality, well thought out trailer. We have had complements from both boat and aircraft manufacturers.

checked out that Oliver and it was similar to the Casita 17s I have looked at before. on the Casita you could get it with side table with swivel chairs and leave the dinette made up in the rear into a bed. the Oliver looked like it just had fixed dinette seats at the table? not as comfy but the bath looked better to me.\\\

A single person on the road is going to be able to handle one of the molded fiberglass trailers. I've taken ours out on my own a couple of times. I can nudge it over if needed and it's easy to hook up and tow. The Escape bathroom is big enough for me to shower in and has a small sink. I use a squeegee to wipe the walls after showering and it only takes a minute. I also don't spend a lot of time in the bathroom so I don't want it taking up anymore space than required. There are pros and cons to each of the designs you just have to decide what you need and what is important to you.
