A month later, we returned to Texas to pick up the coach from Mr. Olivers RV & Equipment. Mr. Oliver is actually Paul Davis. He got his nickname in the '60's as a used "Oliver" tractor dealer. He bought used Oliver tractors in Iowa and resold them in Texas. As the area around Princeton Texas saw subdivisions and strip malls replace farms, he branched out into selling used coaches and motor homes.Here he is in his office with his partner, Kathy Fitzgerald.
He still has a couple of Oliver tractors on his lot. For the history of the Oliver tractor, see the Wikipedia article here.
After staying in our coach on their lot for four days of training and inspections, we were ready to hit the road for the first time.
