The photos in both articles look real nice. But so do the photos on any other manufacturer's web site or magazine review. The thing that these articles both point out is two unique attributes that TM brings to the market.

The first is the low weight for the size of the trailer. This is certainly a good selling point for any potential buyer who wants a hard-side camper, but wants to tow with a reasonable tow vehicle.

The second is "the lift system that has never failed to open". I'm sure that the makers of any of the cable-raised systems or hydraulically-raised systems do not even think about making such a strong statement. It is, I am sure, one of the deciding factors in many buyers' decision to go with TM, rather than something else. The idea of standing in the rain, after dark, in an out-of-the-way campground, and unable to open the trailer, is a fear that may people express when shopping for a camper.

As an engineer myself, I send my congratulations to the TM design engineer on both counts.
