Let's hear from all those new Elkmont owners!

We was showed the Elkemont at the factory while getting some warranty work done. It was really nice but wouldn't fit our family well due to not really having a separate bed room for our 14 yr old son. He really likes having his own space same as when we stayed in resorts & most hotel suites.

The Bath Room was really nice also. The Full size fridge was definitely a plus shoot my work truck has a bigger fridge than our TM LOL.


I just hope TM doesn't forget about the original ones.

Oh well we really like our 3023 so far since it still fits the campgrounds well & has enough room even for those times when you are forced to stay in due to weather.

Two weeks ago I got an email from a camper dealer in Ocala, Fl....with info on their RV Show...and he told me that had the Elkmont in stock and it would be at the RV Show. We had other plans and did not make it to that show.

This weekend Thursday through Saturday is the RV Show in Jacksonville Florida. We plan to go for a couple of hours on Thursday...can't stay too long cause we leave for a weekend camp out immediately after ward.

What TV are you towing your Elkmont with?

We sure need to see one in Tenn ,Alabama, or North Mississippi . I think if the dealers could get them they would sell like hot cakes. The lightweight is going to be great for those who have wanted an upright.

Last time I was there you could easily see the full size TM at the factory in Lake City TN but if you wanted to see one of the original ones you was out of luck. If you want to see one in TN just call Ed & setup a visit they are very accommodating.

I saw the Elkmont this past weekend at the Trailmanor dealership in Anaheim, CA. Extremely nice unit and I was tempted to move on it, but instead chose the 3023 model because of the additional space for sleeping. I believe one of the guys told me a price 23,000.00 for the fully loaded model sitting there.

Just read a article in local newspaper about the new Elkmont. Tow vehicle is the new Ford Flex, crossover not quite an SUV, not a mini van, nor a station wagon, economy car or pickup. Around town it got around 19 miles a gallon on average driving. When Elkmont hook-up, milage dropped to 10.5 miles per gallon. On freeway the Ford Flex gets around 24 miles per gallon and hook up to Elkmont 14.4 miles per gallon. I have 1/2 ton Ford Serra truck with small V-8 and towing my TM my mileage drops about 2 miles per gallon. Wait tell gas hits 5 bucks again.

I got to see one today and we liked it...even through we had just finished looking at a Bounder 40 ft motor home. The Elkmont does seem to have a lot of storage room. There were certain things we loved about it:

The trailer tongue seems HUGE to us and we love the expanded metal on it behind the propane tanks! We stood there discussing what we would use that space for.

We like the storage on the outside on the front of the camper.

We loved the way the bed mattress rests on the TM aluminum/styro-foam/aluminum sandwich....sure beats the 1/4 inch plywood that was in the Keystone Outback we previously owned.

We like the storage under the bed and that the gas lifters were already installed.

We like the cabinets. I liked the one I had been wanting to see...tried to take a picture but could not get far enough back to do it justice.

We like the seating for the dinette.

We like the bathroom.

I like the shower and liked that there is good caulking in it.

We like the color scheme.

I am not crazy about carpet in a camper for our personal use but like the carpet style/type around the bed.

We liked the LED tail lights and aluminum wheels.

The fridge is nice.

Other notes:

We thought the air conditioner would be just as noisy.

I thought the cabinets in the bathroom looked deeper in photos then in person.

I think we would eliminate the dining table and pack t.v. type trays.

For now we are very happy with out 3124KS but could see this as a possibility some years from now.

We ran into a LOT of people that we know at the show and met some really nice people too. Seemed like a low turnout but it was just the first day of the show. All of the local dealers were present and some others had traveled a bit for the show.

All we bought were two bottles of water.

Hi all,
Been a member since 5/18 but this is my first post.
I have been looking for a lightweight trailer for use as a base camp for doing nature videos in the Pacific NW for almost a year until I came across TrailManor. We have a distributor here in the Portland area and spent several visits driving the sales guy crazy with questions and further views of the TrailManor models they had in their showroom. The big selling points for me on the Elkmont was the room, weight, and amount of storage it had. I was disappointed in the fold-ups because of the lack of storage above the counter top and the fact that all had to be stowed before you could travel although their floor-plans were well thought out.
I have one on order now and am anxiously awaiting its arrival in about 2 more weeks.

Update (finally);
The factory is finishing up my Elkmont. It will be picked up by transport Wednesday or Thursday of this week. It won't be known until it arrives if the driver will deliver to CA first or OR (only 2 trailers on the transport says the dealer). Should be here (fingers crossed) by Wednesday next week (July 1st). Dealer still has all their "stuff" to do for inspections and such so have a chance to pick it up on Friday July 3rd. Not trying to go anywhere for that weekend but looking forward to "playing" with it in the driveway.
