Look at the cost of a TrailManor unit this way. Pay $30k for it, use it, sell it x years later and let's say you get $12k for it. So the cost of ownership was basically $18k.

Buy another brand of trailer for $20k, sell that trailer x years later but because the market of full of trailers like the full height type trailers, you might get only $2k for it. The cost for ownership is the same $18k.

There is no real science here but to some of us, the cost of a new or used TrailManor is well worth it if you desire some of the features such a unit offers. Mine fits nicely in the garage all summer and on the back concrete pad in winter. It also tows better than my tent camper use to and I thought my tent camper towed great. My mileage is about the same as what I got with my old Coleman too.
