Oliver Travel Trailers are cute but are they luxurious? You might be surprised at all that these tiny campers have to offer. But be warned; if you’re like us, you might just fall in love with these fiberglass gems after reading to the end of this article.
Let’s look at the specs, cost, and features of Oliver Travel Trailers.
What Is a Molded Fiberglass Travel Trailer?
Oliver Travel Trailers are molded fiberglass. They use a construction technique that makes the fiberglass body the mainframe of the trailer.
So, the bottom or frame is one piece of fiberglass, and the top is another. The two pieces are clamshelled together, and the interior and exterior of the trailer are fiberglass. Other travel trailers use separate panels for the sides, floor, and roof and are made of various materials. These panels are all screwed, glued, or stapled together.
Since RVs go down the road and move around a lot, the more seams they have, the higher maintenance they require. With a molded fiberglass travel trailer, there’s only one seam which reduces the risk of problems.

Why Are Molded Fiberglass Campers So Popular?
The main reason molded fiberglass campers are so popular is their relatively low maintenance compared to non-fiberglass travel trailers. Fiberglass doesn’t rust, so taking them in inclement weather isn’t a concern like campers with metal frames. Due to these factors, fiberglass campers have a much higher resale value than other campers.
Do Oliver Travel Trailers Hold Their Value?
Oliver Travel Trailers hold their value well. It’s not uncommon for people to search all over the country looking for a used one. And chances are there are very few used models available because of their popularity and quality–not to mention the low inventory and high demand.
Did You Know: Some RVs lose 20% of their value in the first couple of years. Here’s why they depreciate so much.
