TO THE POSSIBLE TM OWNERS:

WE have owned 3 Trailmanors since 1992. We had a 1993 (23M=2720 today), 1994 3326King, and now a 2002 3326 King. Everyone talks about storing things, but I think it comes down to what size Trailmanor you want to purchase. With the 3326King, you have all kinds of stoage room. The only things that we have to move off the floor is the 13" TV and the hanging cabinet that goes in the kitchen. We have the huge storage inside and outside under the rear bed. With the side dinette in the kitchen, you have all the area under the seats. Also we have the storage under the front couch that pulls out to give you the extra living area in the living room. The kitchen galley has all kinds of storage, and along the bathroom there are plenty of drawers, and cabinet space. For clothes, you can hang them in the wardrobe. I have a Durango,and the fold up chairs,ice chest, water jugs and extra suit cases go in the SUV.

We went to Florida in April and there were 3 adults, a 4 year old, and our little dog. I did not mind setting the trailer up for 2 different nights while we were on the road. I left the trailer hooked to the Durango each night.

As other people have stated, you have the flaps, and the bathroom walls to put up. The toilet was already charged so that was no bother. We have sleeping bags on the back bed, and the couch pulls out into a bed very easily.

With any type of RV, you have to hook up water, electric,and sewer. Every RV has to be leveled. If you have an awning, you have to put it out. The Fiama rolls out very easily. If you want to run your furnace or stove, you have to turn on the propane.

All the other extras that you may do are not just because you own a Trailmanor. Most likely, you would do them if you owned another type of travel trailer.

So when the Trailmanor movie says 2 minutes, they are talking about raising the top sections, setting up the bathroom walls, closing the insulating flaps, and pulling out your beds or bed and a couch depending on your model.

So you trade off the above things for an easy towing camper, good gas mileage, and low maintenance expense, and also you can have a smaller tow vehicle which might be a lot cheaper to purchase. Everything in life has a trade off!!

If the tradeoff was not worth it, I would not have purchased 3 Trailmanors since Sept 1992.

So before you invest the money, make sure you buy a Trailmanor that will be large enough so you do not have the trailer floor full off all kinds of "STUFF". It's a big investment so you want to do it right the first time around.

If you have any questions, let me know.!!

A Happy Trailmanor Owner
