We are 50% retired and would love to do some traveling. In years past we had, and enjoyed a small pop-up.
The TM seems a viable step-up.
We have been dithering back and forth about a used class C or new TT of some sort.
My curiosity has been peaked about the TM, but getting to a dealer is at least a 6 hour trip, just to satisfy our curiosity.
If anybody is traveling thru East Central Nebraska, and would enjoy some slow smoked ribs and adult beverages, let us know.
There is some nice camping close to the house (my orchard).
Thanks all,
Mike and Cheryl
Trailmanor dealers have been in limbo with the corporate restructuring, and may or may not have the inventory you want to see, so you'd need to call before your go any great distance. With the new factory coming close by, one day you may be telling us about what's going on.

Your cheap campground offer would ordinarily be a draw for us, but it's a bit of a trip for us right now.

We've owned popups, a 29' TT, and a 37' Winnebago before buying the TrailManor. The popups were great family fun, but they never had a bathroom that met the standards of Ms. Adventure. The motorhome at 6mpg would be a lot less fun at today's gas prices, and it was a nuisance having to maintain another vehicle and all those trips to the dealer that went with all that equipment (jacks, tires, oil changes, generator service, etc.). The only RV I'd never want to own again is the full sized TT (too unstable on the road, downright scary at highway speed).

The TrailManor is great behind the vehicle I otherwise drive every day, and we get 16-17mpg towing. The low profile on the road helps both with gas mileage and with towing stability. TrailManors also seem to hold up amazingly well.
