Hopefully you shouldn't have a problem with the frame in a 2011 model. Mine is a 2010, built Dec 2009 IIRC, and the frame is quite different from those with the problem.

But we had other problems well documented on this board. But now that they are all fixed, we're happy. And I've yet to see another trailer that I like as much as the Elkmont.

I would, however, be concerned about the warranty. A new company may or may not support your Elkmont. Trailmanor spent a bundle on ours under warranty getting it in shape. I wouldn't buy it without a warranty.

Mentor RV is a big place and should be able to warranty it themselves. I'm not sure what their reputation is, but the price is excellent.

Oh, and I hope you are ignoring all that B.S. about the Elkmont only weighing 2500# and how you can tow it with a VW Beetle.

Ours typically weighs 3800# and (most importantly) 620# of that is on the tongue. You will want a tow vehicle that can handle that.

Well you may not want to write off the 2720 so fast. I have one and the issue of the gap covered by pads has never been a problem and I have been in cold weather and severe rain storms. Don't get me wrong, I too really like the Elkmont, but the folding trailers are great to tow and garage.

Good luck.

I wouldn't let that bother you, we just spent six months on the road with ours and no problems. Plus you are not bothered with highway cross winds like the higher profile TT
