If in the market for an "egg" style trailer check out fiberglassrv.com. They have a forum dedicated to Oliver trailers. Don't sign on the dotted line before checking out BigFoot. They are also moulded fiberglass but with regular interior finishes not fiberglass like the Oliver. The Bigfoot trailers are 8'-3" wide as compared to 6.5' to 7' width of the Olivers. This allows for a full bath and separate shower plus considerably more interior space and storage. They are also of superb build quality and are in the same price range.
Happy shopping.

Durb, thanks for this info. I asked the Oliver folks how they would differentiate their product from Bigfoot. They said the Bigfoots only employ a single fiberglass shell. I have no way of verifying this information and wouldn't know if that was good or bad if it was verified. Care to weigh in further?
Thanks for your extensive report hopefully putting an end to the general consensus that there are no quality built trailers out there. Years ago it was time to upgrade from our pop-up as a toilet and shower became important to us. Being anal, I reviewed the specs, weights and construction detail of almost every TT out there in my size range. My conclusion was a BigFoot 25' rear queen was best for our needs. I found one and it was perfect for the two of us but not so as our granddaughters grew bigger. A few thoughts:
The Bigfoot differs in that it has a single shell, steel frame and traditional wood furnishings. It is larger and tows heavy for its size so a truck is needed. The fiberglass trailers are like camping in a Yeti cooler, they are tight. The R values are less important in my mind as you will be intentionally swapping air to remove interior moisture. The air conditioning is so effective you could probably hang meat in 100+ degree temperatures within a short period of time. They tow like a vault without the shimmy of stick built trailers. I would say longevity is at least 2X. Silly point but they are easy to wash.
The best part of a fiberglass trailer is when you bed down at night and invite Mother Nature to give it her best shot knowing you are going to be dry, warm and comfortable.
