Oliver with broken frame
When I was in Quartzsite in January I toured a new Oliver and had a mild case of buyers remorse that I hadn't pony'd up an extra 20k and got the Oliver,as they are very pretty inside. A few weeks later I came across the same Oliver owners at a walmart in Winslow AZ. They were flying home and the manufacturer was coming to pick up their trailer to replace the aluminum frame, as it had cracked in half.
I have traveled maybe 10k miles with my 17b since i picked it up in December, and have off roaded with it on BLM land, inadvertently ended up on some horrendous washboard roads and my steel framed 17b has held up quite well.
Im very happy I didnt buy a rig with an aluminum frame, with the places I go I dont think it would have survived!
