2007 Trailmanor reviews

My wife and I owned a 2007 Trailmanor 2720SL for about 4 years. We had a Dodge Durango SUV with a 6-cylinder engine and were able to easily tow it all over the southwest. We enjoyed trips to the Northern California, the Sierra Nevada mountains around Mammoth Lakes and Lone Pine, several trips to Colorado, Utah, Nevada, and Arizona. While we did camp with hookups at times, we usually dry-camped. We switched all the incandescent bulbs to LEDs and changed out the 12-volt battery with two 6-volt golf cart deep cycle batteries. We also have a 2000 watt generator that we could use to recharge the batteries when needed. The main advantage of this trailer is obviously that it can be folded down to a much lower profile so it's tows well. However, it does take about 10 minutes to open and close the trailer, so it's not as convenient as a regular trailer. A reasonable trade-off though. We've also rented tent trailers in the past and there's simply no comparison! The only real negative was having to climb up into the bed. Bathroom runs during the night were a bit awkward. A weakness in the original design is the 14" load range C tires which are close to their limits. Running them underinflated could result in tire failure, and this is fairly common. It's necessary to upgrade to 15" tires that are load range D or E. We enjoyed the trailer tremendously but recently purchased a traditional trailer that has a bed in the front with access from each side. Much better for us "older" campers. Our gas mileage suffers tremendously though! We also miss the other campers coming over to watch the 20-foot low profile Trailmanor transform into a 27-foot trailer as we're setting up! Show less
