Is there any information about the time where Ollie lived in a Camper? I'm also not quite sure if I'm making this up...
It is correct that Oliver used to live in a mobile home. I don't know the exact timeframe, but I estimate that he bought it around 1999.
In a Kerrang interview, Paul Landers said: «Oliver sold all his furniture and bought a motor home. He said 'Like a bum, I will go and live in a car, I want to live on the street.' We were astonished.»
Oliver used to park near a lake in Berlin, but whenever he felt like surfing or snowboarding, he'd drive to the sea or to the mountains and stay there for a while. He told Orkus: «When you have lived in the city centre for so long, you look forward to some peace and quiet.» Oliver also said that should he get problems with fans, he could always just drive away.
It is known that Oliver had his mobile home with him when Rammstein recorded Mutter. He had it with him to Heiligendamm, and he also drove it to France, where the rest of the band stayed in apartments. Christoph Schneider said: «He did park by the swimming pool though. He definitely had the best spot.»
There are a few photos of Oliver and his mobile home: 1) This photo is from the Gert Hof photo book from 2001, and shows Oliver sitting in the door of his mobile home playing his acoustic guitar. The photo is taken by Erik Hackenschmidt. 2) A photo from (probably) inside Oliver's mobile home, probably from the same session by Erik Hackenschmidt. 3) Photo of the house Rammstein stayed in when they were in Heiligendamm. Oliver's mobile home was parked outside.
