    Thanks for more reviews of fiberglass trailers - my favorites! We almost purchased an Oliver a few years ago. Instead, we purchased an Airstream Nest (also fiberglass) and really like it for a very small, easy to tow trailer.

    Those Olivers are using the molded fiberglass interior features to add even more strength and rigidity to their full hull designs. As much as I love my Bigfoot, I think the Oliver is better made. Thanks for the tour you two!

    You guys should borrow an infra red gun and shine it on three campers with AC on in the heat ... Oliver, a Bigfoot and an Airstream! My bet is the Bigfoot will show the least energy transmission and the Airstream show the most
