I actually met the owner of Oliver Trailers about six or seven years ago in one of the western states. I was in an A class parked overnight in a small gravel lot just outside of a small town. Do not remember the exact town; may be in Montana or Wyoming.
When I awoke the next morning, a very interesting TT was parked next to me. Later I walked over and introduced myself to the owner and inquired about the TT. It did not have a brand name or any markings on the trailer. The owner stated the TT was a prototype he and his son were considering manufacturing. They had some type of business/factory in Tennessee. Their primary business was not related to the RV industry.
The owner stated that he could not find a well made TT so he decided to manufacture his own TT. That trailer had the best quality materials and best workmanship I have ever seen in an RV. The fit and finish was superb! It had many extremely well designed features; I do not remember all of them, but I was highly impressed and I do not get highly impressed very often. The TT was no longer than 22 to 24 feet, but did have a tandem axle.
The owner said they had not manufactured many units because the RV market had taken a downturn. He was hoping when the market picked up, he could start manufacturing and selling the TT. He did not state the price range for the TT.
I would think the price for a TT of this quality would be at the higher end for TT's. If I was in the market for a smaller TT I would definitely check out the Oliver TT's.
