My wife and I 1st saw the Trailmanor at a recent RV show here at Rockford, IL's, Metro Center. We were very impressed with its function and features. Haven't seen a king bed unit with the extra expanded storage under the rear bed. We're most interested in 3124KB or 3023 with the twin couches and the slide out front bed.

Haven't decided how soon we'd move into a Trailmanor, but I definitely plan on locating a good used one for our future traveling plans. I've made some preliminary inquiries on a '98 3124 King with the full front slide-out instead of the 48" bed and double couches.

Please bear with me for a few more Trailmanor questions (relating to a '98 3124 King). (1) How do you rate the effectiveness of the AC in cooling the front area of the trailer with the unit mounted on the rear roof section? From a similar perspective, how effectively does the heater/furnace warm the rear sleeping berth and bath space on colder nights? I'm assuming the heater is of the convection style vs. forced-air/ ducted in design. (2) Is the "winterizing" procedure as simple as Trailmanor literature describes it? (3) Is there space for bedding storage under the front couch (in a 3124 King), or is that space used up by the propane tank space and the two front outside-accessed storage compartments? (4) Is the Frig a 3-way (ac/dc/gas)? Does it still keep things cooled and is it functionally vented while the trailer is closed for travel? (5) Does a '98 3124 King unit have the extra wardrobe space under the kingbed? How practical have you found these two larger storage spaces to be in your traveling with the Trailmanor? Would you order this feature were you to buy another Trailmanor, or would the rear queen bed with less storage below be adequate for most travel needs?

As much as you feel comfortable to share with a prospective Trailmanor owner, give me a feeling for your overall satisfaction/dissatisfaction in traveling/camping with a similar unit unit? What drew you to the purchase of a TM?

Thanks for your input and info on your Trailmanor experience.
