TrailManor 2619
We spent many weeks of researching before we decided to purchase the TrailManor. There were many factors to consider in owning an RV but the ability to store a fully self-contained RV in a standard two car garage was the one we liked. 
This RV cost more than some conventional travel trailers but for us the features it offered was worth it. The Hi-Low was another worthy contender but was heavier and offered less room with it's smallest equivalent model.
The TrailManor RV has been around about 20 years but is not very well known.
The manufacturer is small and each TrailManor is hand made from the frame to the interior cabinets. We always get questions about it from other travelers and campers. In fact on one time we had 12 people converge on us to watch as we were closing it up. After 7000 miles of towing in the last two years, our fuel economy averages 14 - 16 mpg on level highways with either our 2000 Chevrolet Blazer (with an add on towing package) or our 2004 Chevrolet TrailBlazer (with the medium duty factory towing package). One just can not compare this RV to a "popup" camper. It only tows and stores like one.
RV trips are less expensive than flying, driving a car, taking a train or bus, staying in a hotel, or taking a cruise. This low-profile and light weight Trailmanor only drops your MPG by only a few gallons, unlike conventional travel trailers that usually cut your MPG in half.
RVing remains the least expensive mode of travel, even when fuel prices increase and ofcourse we like the complete freedom to stop as you please and have more fun.
Our Opinions
Good
- It tows really well with our load leveler/anti-sway setup that is recommended.
- The 2619 is ideal for two people. Very comfortable with good interior airflow and insulation.
- The Lake City, TN factory tour and service is outstanding.
- Our local dealer is great. M & M Camping Center, Trenton MI.
- We have setup in the rain and the interior does stay dry.
- We like the solid wall security being able to camp at places tents or tent campers aren't allowed.
- When full hookups are available, we can be "just like the big ones" (cable TV connection, city water and sewer hookups, 30 amp electric service).
Not Good
- Some interior areas and curtains tend to get dirty from highway grime due to the design of the sections folding together.
- The optional outside shower is of low quality. It cracked and broke after two years.
- Storage is tight. The area under the sink has the water heater and plumbing making it almost useless.
- The options are expensive, though we have all but two (the microwave oven and extension countertop), they are worth it in making it a complete RV.
