Looking for a new home for the Oliver
Oliver Elite 2015 Travel Trailer
I am selling the trailer following my wife’s death last year. I went out with the Oliver three times, two short trips and one extended journey and, simply, it was not the experience I was hoping for. Everything has a season and mine with this wonderful camper is ending even as I hope to find someone who will enjoy the travel as much as I did.
This is not one of those that went out for a month each year or parked at a beach for a bit. We traveled in 49 states and enjoyed every inch of scenery and beauty we saw. My goal was to reach 400 of the National Park Service parks and we achieved 363 (so far) but the next few will be with a different form of travel. Some photos under “camping” here.
However well-traveled the trailer is it also very well-maintained. I did not let things go and every year had an inspection in January to prepare for the year’s travels. Some things broke on the road, a sail switch twice, a water fitting, also twice and water pump replaced last year in Utah. I also had a furnace issue in Vermont and while fixed it is no longer relevant for Oliver has a new current generation furnace that works very well.
Which brings me to the biggest issue. We had a lightning strike near to us in Texas on the coast. It turned out to have created a mess with the main power line into the trailer fusing several smaller lines. To say the least nothing worked. I towed it to the Oliver factory and they kept it for 3 months and rewired a lot of the trailer, most of it upgraded to current standards. That is where I also had the electric fuse panel replaced, a window that had lost the seal, a new set of Battleborn lithium batteries, new controller, Vitronic monitoring, new Dexter current generation axle and new inverter installed. About $11,000 dollars invested in 2022. It has worked flawlessly since, much better in some respects than before. I also recently had a new thermostat and control panel for the AC done. I have a lot of paperwork for the trailer.
Additionally I will include all the required equipment to hook up: water filter, hose, sewer hose and new one in box, various fittings for different situations for both water and electric, cable, electric surge protector and more. There are also numerous little holders, clips, towel bars, bedding system etc that go with the trailer.
I will provide 1/2 up to $500 for any repair needed within 60 days. Delivery for a day’s drive is available (300 miles from Raleigh) for free.
