Twin axle fiberglass rv

[Daniel B]

Yesterday saw from a slight distance a twin axle fiberglass rv that looked similar to our casita but longer. Any idea what it might be?

Escape or Oliver maybe.

Escape 19 or 21, Oliver?
Your profile says you own a Scamp 16, but you say similar to your Casita.
I'm confused.

An Oliver 23.5' looks like a stretched (and raised) Casita 17, so that seems a lot more likely than the boxier Escapes. This it?

[Daniel B]

That looks like it.

I'm not surprised he's confused.
I'm surprised he admitted it! Just kidding, Glenn. We love ya.

[Glenn Baglo]

I'm no longer confused as OP profile now says Casita.

[Daniel B]

Just updated today. Thanks for mentioning it.

Somehow there looks like a big difference between the Casita and the Oliver, more like $40,000 difference.

It's kind of interesting. The family resemblance to Casita is hard to miss and more than skin deep. The smaller Oliver is virtually identical to the layout of a Casita 17 Spirit Deluxe, but different in almost every detail of construction. It's as if Oliver took a Casita and asked what it would be if money were no object: aluminum frame, composite floor, full inner hull to eliminate rivets, four season capability, high end plumbing and wiring, stainless fittings...

Then they stretched it to add a longways sleeping arrangement, larger galley, and more storage- all things Casita owners often want when they upgrade. Only 7' wide, versus 8' for Bigfoot and Airstream, so not as roomy, but better towing and off-road agility. The bigger Oliver is far and away their best seller. Nice trailers.

I now own a 17 Casita and have been to the Oliver plant to look at new Olivers, I was just making a statement on the price difference, I'm pretty familiar with the differences.
