Something about a hydraulically operated model and a truck camper. Pictures of the new Silver Trail and new interiors.

Thanks Robert, Interesting with new color. Am I reading this right? Are they putting the hydraulic lifts in the new TM's. Should be interesting. Maybe I will get a chance to see them at the RV show in Quartzite next year.

TrailManor is introducing new models
and a brand new SilverTrail edition to
our current retractable models. The
SilverTrail is carries a bold new look
with its silver siding and black trim on
the outside and updated décor on the
inside.
The new models are two new RISE
trailers. Named RISE because their
roofs raise via our patented hydraulic
lift system.
The RISE Pick-Up model slides into a
pickup bed easily in our all new
WedgeLock™ that eliminates the need
for the old tie downs and turnbuckles.
The RISE travel trailer also uses the
hydraulic lift™ that raises and lowers
the roof.
Based on customer demand for a light-
weight upright travel trailer we are in-
troducing the TrailView by TrailManor,
with an enhanced roof system for extra
stability and strength.
We are gearing up to produce these new
models in our Nebraska Plant sched-
uled to be full swing by mid April

This newsletter says that we now have a new TM dealer in Florida - in Tampa! That makes TWO of them in the state. Way to go!! I know where there is an empty lot on my side of the state.

The hydraulic lift is in the new truck camper, not the regular TMs.

If you read carefully, she discusses a new travel trailer as well as the pick up. She implies a hydraulic trailer ??? At least that is what my eyes read, not saying I'm right just saying what is in print??

I believe that is referencing a new trailer similar to the HiLo trailers, and it would use the same patented lift system as the Rise truck camper. So that would mean a straight up down lifting system.

They are also coming out with a new light weight upright TT to replace the old TM Elkmont.

All very exciting options. Something for everyone.

I noticed there were no pictures of the hallway bathroom wall with the new interior photos. That is what I would like to see. I dislike the painted/wallpaper look on the bathroom hallway wall. Thankfully my 2010 model still had the wood look in the hallway which I think is a much better look. My personal opinion is the painted look is cheap looking.

My read is the hydraulic lift is for the RISE pickup camper. Will be interesting to see what the new TT TrailView looks like. Good they are expanding models and adding a new exterior color option on the traditional TM.

Read it again clearly states a travel trailer.

Based on my conversation with Will at The Car Show last week, I think they are referring to two new designs, not particularly similar to each other. One is a camper that mounts in a pickup truck bed. Its roof rises hydraulically, eliminating the need to crank it up above the truck cab. The other is a Hi-Lo sort of design. Whereas the Hi-Lo roof had to be cranked up, this one will rise hydraulically. However, there will be no slides or extendable ends, as there are in a traditional TM.

I believe - and the newsletter seems to say - that even though these units are quite different from each other, they are both called RISE because the roofs RISE hydraulically. If I am right, TM will need to make this a little more clear - it is kind of confusing as it is.

I could be wrong here, so don't take this to the bank. But one way or another, the folks at TM have been busy.

I think you are correct Bill, by the way HiLo was hydraulic as well, my neighbor had one.
