GREAT LOOKING TRAILER! Would love to hear more of your experiences and opinions on build quality and options you have.
Thank you!
So far we really like the trailer, and the build quality seems to be really, really good.
They built all the cabinet frames out of tubular aluminum and all the cabinet skin is black aluminum sheeting in ours, I am no expert on welding but I think the welds all look decent.
We ordered ours without the AC as we have never used it in our old trailer and never camp where there is power anyway.
We ordered ours with the optional sofa sleeper which comes in handy when you have to wait out nasty weather or if you want to sleep inside without deploying the tip out bed.
The LP wet bath package added an outside and inside LP port so you can use the two burner stove on the galley counter or outside on the side of the trailer, kind of a nice touch but we find we just leave the stove outside and use a single burner we already had inside.
It also included a LP furnace that heats the trailer easily and quickly.
The wet bath is plenty big for me, I am 5' 11" and 165lbs and I have more than enough room when taking a shower and the 6 gallon LP water heater works great, the outside has a shower hook up too with hot and cold water running off the 20 gallon fresh water tank.
It has a 14 gallon black/gray combined tank, I would like separate tanks but that was not an option when we ordered ours, I don't see any reason why I could not add an extra tank somewhere in the future as there is plenty of room under the trailer to expand.
It has two 20lb LP tanks, I think I use one tank a year.
I did not want to mount permanent wheel chocks in my new trailer, so I picked up a "Bolt it On" wheel chock system, I works great, it installs quickly and can be removed just as quick, I would recommend it to anyone who does not want to drill holes in their trailer floor.
There are a few things that could be improved on but luckily they are small issues.
1. The mattress in the tip out bed is thin and uncomfortable, the Froli system might be an excellent solution to this problem.
2. The fresh water and black/gray holding tanks do not have level indicators so I never know exactly how much water we have left and how much room we have left in the black/gray tanks. I am not sure how I am going to deal with this one, I may just deal with it for now and replace the tanks a few years from now.
3. The Aluminum floor is COLD! we just bought a 5x8 cheap black rug and lay it out when camping and roll it up and stow it when I load up the bikes.
4. During construction they produce lots of small shards of metal I can never seem to clean them all up and I keep finding them in all the corners and cabinets and hard to reach areas, luckily I have not gotten one in the bottom of my foot yet.
All in all it is a great toyhauler and should last much longer than the stick built style RV's plus its the only self contained toyhauler I could find that a 1/2 ton can easily tow.
If you have any specific questions that I may have missed let me know.
Thanks for the interest guys.
