We are new to TrailManor also and in our 60's! Early January we picked up our used 2619 from a private owner. We had a monster trip of 40 mile to tow it home! LOL! It tows like a pop up but opens and closes much much easier! Being novices at it we practiced a few times in our back yard. With a short checklist in Joans hand and a few instructions I can open and close within 15 minutes without hurrying! Thats after about 15 minutes to unhook and level! No back strain or exertion needed! When Joan helps it takes a little longer because she's pushing when I'm pulling! LOL! All kidding aside it is one of the best investments we have made in our retirement years!
Our first long term trip is to be early April and to return home mid May! We can hardly wait to get on the road to adventure with Our Trailmanor! Good Luck in whatever You decide to do but by all means "Do It"
