    How do you like this set up? Have you towed with it much? My wife and I really want to upgrade to one of these trailers.

    Actually I just towed it home, then to storage. About 4 hours of driving with a WD hitch I picked up at Harbor Freight. It weighs 3400 dry. You definitely feel it behind the truck but combined with a Tekonsha P3 brake controller it stops really well..

    I've got a unique one. It's a little Coleman Taos grafted onto a 4 place snowmobile trailer to make a sort of toy hauler. I like the idea of bringing the front porch with me wherever I go.

    Wow, that looks like a nice unit. I googled the trailer and found zero for sale nationwide. Very rare I guess. Nice concept, I like hardside popups, but over the years very few mfg's have produced them. Hi-Lo (very heavy), TrailManor is a nice unit and still in business. I bet the Twin Peaks has a better toilet than the TrailManor recirculating toilet. Trailmanor has no outside storage, either.

    That thing has nice size tanks, etc, big beds, hard ends are much better than canvas ends for 4-season camping. Fore and aft windows are nice to have. Lightweight low-profile, NICE! More pics!

    Apparently, this thing is extremely rare. I just picked this up a couple weeks ago on Craigslist and it happened to be 15 minutes from my house. I only able to find minimal info; company went defunct in 05-06 I think. I bought from the original owner, which he kept in awesome shape. Each was hand made less than 100 were made each year. It's a good little trailer. Very happy to have found it. I didn't realize the rarity until everyone that I have showed it to had never heard of it.

    That is sweet, sweet, sweet! Congrats! Aluminum frame, fiberglass insulated sandwich, glass underbelly. Nicely designed and executed. Dual batts, dual LP, enjoy. Nice rig paired with a OR Taco. You can easily lift it 4" with lift blocks from Dexter I bet. That will be a great offroad trailer. Big windows, and fore and aft are so nice to have for ventilation/visibility.

    That is a gem. Looking at the build sheet and the pics it has a ducted furnace, that is rare for expandable trailers. Better to have ducted heat rather than the furnace just blasting heat out in one zone. If you ever want to sell it, PM me.
