Oliver Travel Trailers has an excellent reputation for quality and craftsmanship among RV technicians and RV aficionados across the United States and Canada. We have heard several of our most trusted sources in the RV industry describe them as “the best made travel trailers in America.” Many Oliver owners are also evangelists for the brand and they do quite a bit of organic word-of-mouth marketing that speaks volumes about the overall quality of the product. This quality does come at a higher price point (over 100K depending on options) but each Oliver is built to last for generations and many owners speak of their trailer as a family heirloom–and not just an RV.
Oliver Travel Trailers are “manufactured by Oliver Fiberglass Products Company in Hohenwald, Tennessee since 2008” and they are an independent and family-owned company that operates far from the RV Capitol of the World in Elkhart, Indiana. To learn more about the company and its history and culture–check out their “brand story” video just below.

To find out more about Oliver Travel Trailers and the Legacy Elite and Legacy Elite II–please keep reading just below.
An Overview of Oliver’s Legacy Elite
The Oliver Legacy Elite clocks in at 18’5″ in length and has a GVWR of 5000 pounds and comes in one floorplan. There is a dinette at the rear of the coach that can be easily converted into a bed–or can be permanently set up as a bed if you don’t want to switch back and forth every night. The middle of the coach has a two-person dinette on one side (which can be converted to a single bed) and a compact kitchen with refrigerator on the other side. The front of the coach has a fairly spacious wet bath and a closet for storage. The quality of the craftsmanship is apparent on every inch of the Legacy Elite and the “engineered double-shelled fiberglass composite hull” is incredibly impressive to say the least.
Each Oliver Legacy Elite comes packed with standard features. To find out more about what comes standard please click here.
You can also upgrade to the Legacy Elite Premium Package or the Platinum Package. Please click here to find out more about both.
An Overview of Oliver’s Legacy Elite II
Oliver’s Legacy Elite II series has two different floorplan options that are both popular among Oliver owners. According to Oliver’s website, The Standard Plan “features a spacious rear table area that comfortably accommodates up to 5 people and easily converts into a bed.” While The Twin Bed Plan “offers the convenience of two rear beds, equipped with a nightstand and an extra storage drawer.” We are particularly fond of the twin bed floorplan and could truly envision ourselves owning one someday in the future. The middle of the coach features a two-person dinette on one side (which can be converted into a bed) and an attractive kitchen on the other side. The front of the coach, much like the Legacy Elite, features a wet bath and a closet. Both floorplans clock in at 23′ 6″ in length and a dry weight of 4,900 pounds. The overarching build quality and materials used are the same as the Legacy Elite.
