TrailManor was the perfect fit for us. We were looking for a lighter weight pop-up with a smaller towing profile to match our existing tow vehicle. But DW wanted a small bathroom for herself & young kids to use at night. Some of the canvas wall pop-ups had bathrooms but we weren't happy with them. We found that the TM met our needs. Also, the hard sides of the TM allow us to camp in some parks that prohibit canvas-sided campers (haven't tested this yet!)

You mentioned the need to park in the garage. If that's a must, you'll want to look at the shorter models, preferrably one with a swing hitch. I have a 3023 without a swing hitch so I can't park my TM in my own garage.

Good luck with your search!
