Travel Trailer Blogs

This cool photo was taken By JOSHUA JIRON of the Colorado Parks and Wildlife Division. Long time friend Josh has it as wallpaper on his Facebook page. It just seems to capture the essence of the beautiful place when Oliver owner Pete Marks and I hiked to the summit one beautiful Colorado day. We were having a mini rally at a high up, 10,800 feet, campground that we were managing called Trujillo Meadows. Though we took some great pix that day, they don’t quite capture the essence that Josh’s photo does.

Do you ever carry stuff “just in case” you might need it ? Here is one such time that it worked out for us!

At our last check of the Weather, before turning in last night, we noted that a front would bring rain in the night.  So, when rain on the roof of the Pony Express, woke us up briefly in the night it wasn’t a surprise. When I stepped out of the Pony after breakfast, cup of coffee in hand. It was a pleasant surprise to find that the light drizzle that was falling, was not the cold Winter mix that I had feared. Instead it was a mild Springtime shower that was quite nice. Here is where we were parked this morning early.

The Oliver camping experience is somewhat hard to describe, because of the wide range of capabilities provided by the insulation and the double walled construction.  Whether you are backing into a snow covered campsite with  snow shoes and a backpack at the ready, or parking on the beach in a cool Gulf Coast location, those temperature extremes are handled so you can get a good night’s rest, a good meal, catch the weather, and go for another round.

One of the really cool things that we as Oliver owners never quite get used to is when a total stranger is so attracted to our trailer that they walk right up, at the gas pump or where ever, and unabashedly say “what a cute trailer, mind if I look while you pump?”
