I will not debate or question anyone’s decision on a trailer brand, but in the interest of accuracy and fairness about the Oliver, both these statements are incorrect, there is not a single component that cannot be accessed directly, including removal of the between the hull tanks. Someone other than a factory trained technician working on any brand of trailer for the first time would have a problem understanding where everything is and how to get to it.
Unlike my trailer where I have had to remove or cut access panels . Oliver has put a lot of design and thought in access to their utilities . You could make that statement if you personally haven't been in or seen a Oliver . Pat
There's no need to be 'fair to Oliver' regarding my comment you quoted. My comments were theoreticals about Escape going with a double hull - not an Oliver.
Sorry for my assumption. The quote you included concerning the Oliver and the "Yep" of agreement to it and no mention of a theoretical double hulled Escape in your post obviously fooled me into erroneous thinking. My apologies.

I've no interest in an Oliver because to me it's a stretched and double hulled Casita, but there has been some theorizing about "what ifs" of a double hulled Escape. Hard to do and still have access to everything, and the big concern to me would be cost.

I really don't want to spend more any more than that for an RV package. We tent camped for years an our Escape is the Taj Mahal to us. It's all we ever will need.
Wow. MSRP on a quad cab taco is over 40k here and mid to high 30s for a 19. 75k plus total in canuckistan.
It really doesn't matter if your talking USDs or CNDs , it's over valued and over priced using either currency .
There is something wrong when less costs more !!
