looks like they stole half a tm and put it on a truck?
really look at it close, even the latches look the same,

Looks like they took the axle off the Sport-Deck model and then bolted it to the truck chasis....what's next....a house boat?

The innovative top raises and lowers via torsion bar springs, but production models will use an electric or hydraulic system

i like that part of article with that in it!! i think somebody should call them about that (innovative top ) that the got there

Yes looks like the sports deck without wheels even has porch still attached.

See the steps...I tried to figure our how to install leading up to the bed.

It is a cool looking rig...but the price is steep!

We saw a 2013 2720 Sl on line today with the electric slide out...it was over 36K.

But it did have the elevated sink.

I declare him the winner in the tire upgrade department. I just hope he was able to upgrade the 20 gal tank.

There's some discussion here:

Post #16 is from a guy at Sportsmobile West who said they worked with Scott at Trailmanor (I'm guessing Scott from CustomRV who has been responsible for a lot of cool mod's including the swing hitch...and his father is now the owner of TM).

Post #21 has a picture of it closed.


Some of the "Expedition" people apparently don't think TM's are cool...so I guess I won't post a link to the "taking a TM off-road" thread talking about dust, etc on their forum

I want a Trailmanor houseboat. I bet it will be really easy to tow!!

Not to mention that you could navigate easily under low bridges that block other boats!

There was some discussion about a TM houseboat a long, long time ago:

Interesting how many different kinds of RV's there are out there for different camping styles.
