We bought our 2008 Trailmanor in 2012 and have now owned it for 8 years. I am writing this review as I have accepted an offer for our trailer and another is waiting in case the first falls through. Having second thoughts about selling it since we have had such amazing family experiences with it, but kids are getting older and the reality is that we are using it less and less. Bottom line is that If you are considering one of these you need to go for it, these are amazing travel trailers hidden in a pop-up concept and nothing really compares to them in the US. If you have the space and a big truck, you may be considering other options. In our case, we had a Honda Pilot at the time, no space other than our garage, and wanted to experience travel trailer camping without having to pay storage fees or invest in a bigger truck. After much research, analysis and comparison with other options, we landed on Trailmanor. This is a special kind of trailer, not for everyone for sure. You need to be careful/delicate with it when setting it up and folding it down, or things will break. All that process is a total of 20-30 minutes per camping trip, a small price to pay for all the benefits in my opinion. The convenience to park it in your garage means that you can plan a camping trip in a matter of minutes. It also means that it will last many years and in good shape. Towing it to the destination is a pleasure as it is light and well engineered. Once up at the camp ground, it truly feels like a regular trailer, and at 26 feet, 3 double beds, a complete kitchen and bathroom, it is very comfortable. The third bed in the dining area has served us well in many trips when kids invite a friend or when grandparents go with us. The high step to the bed in the back is easily solved with a small stool that can be also used as an extra chair for the dining area. People literally stop to look at it while we set it up and want to know more about it. We will greatly miss our Trailmanor for sure. I hope this review after 8 years of ownership gives assurance to others looking for alternatives to big travel trailers and have similar objectives/needs as us. My wife and I just talked about possibly getting another one in the future.

My wife and I owned a 2007 Trailmanor 2720SL for about 4 years. We had a Dodge Durango SUV with a 6-cylinder engine and were able to easily tow it all over the southwest. We enjoyed trips to the Northern California, the Sierra Nevada mountains around Mammoth Lakes and Lone Pine, several trips to Colorado, Utah, Nevada, and Arizona. While we did camp with hookups at times, we usually dry-camped. We switched all the incandescent bulbs to LEDs and changed out the 12-volt battery with two 6-volt golf cart deep cycle batteries. We also have a 2000 watt generator that we could use to recharge the batteries when needed. The main advantage of this trailer is obviously that it can be folded down to a much lower profile so it's tows well. However, it does take about 10 minutes to open and close the trailer, so it's not as convenient as a regular trailer. A reasonable trade-off though. We've also rented tent trailers in the past and there's simply no comparison! The only real negative was having to climb up into the bed. Bathroom runs during the night were a bit awkward. A weakness in the original design is the 14" load range C tires which are close to their limits. Running them underinflated could result in tire failure, and this is fairly common. It's necessary to upgrade to 15" tires that are load range D or E. We enjoyed the trailer tremendously but recently purchased a traditional trailer that has a bed in the front with access from each side. Much better for us "older" campers. Our gas mileage suffers tremendously though! We also miss the other campers coming over to watch the 20-foot low profile Trailmanor transform into a 27-foot trailer as we're setting up!

We bought the Trailmanor because of the advertised ease of towing. We found this to be true. It is very easy to tow and it is roomy for any type of camping. It has the convenience of being self contained. We have used it in hot and cold weather conditions as well as rain and it has kept us comfortable in all situations.

We've owned our TrailManor for about four years. We have taken it to the Pacific Northwest, Florida, and multiple locations in between, and all around Iowa. The interior is nicely laid out and provides all the necessities that one could use while camping. The towing of the camper is fantastic. The gas mileage of my vehicle is only a few miles per gallon less than when I'm not towing, and you never really feel it back there. It's unfortunate the TrailManor is no longer made, but you can have mine for $13,900.

Tows like a dream! Not impacted by wind or trucks. I get 21.5 mpg (diesel Grand Cherokee) towing in the mountains, while Trailer Life tested same vehicle and trailer weight in normal trailer, and got 14.5 mpg over same terrain. Sets up in minutes. Lots of windows for good view. Can be towed off-road, even in 4-low on rougher/steep trails. Can go where no full-height trailer can go.

We have really enjoyed our Trailmanor and camped in it at all times of the year. Even at 5 degrees. Or just recently at 98 degrees. We stayed warm in winter and cool in summer. It's very easy to tow and set up. We bought this one because it will sleep 6 but now our grandchildren do not go with us so we are downsizing. Whoever buys this camper will enjoy it. It is in excellent condition.

Would definitely recommend due to it's overall flexibility and ease of storing. Can be put up in two minutes, easy to tow, and king size bed is rare in a trailer of this length.

Trailmanor trailers are unique in their design. Although there are several different models, they all have the same open/close mechanism. When closed, they are second to none in towability. When folded down, the lower profile allows for great gas mileage. The dryweight/GVWR makes for a lot of storage within. The lighter weight also allows for more choices in the tow vehicle. A vehicle with a GVWR of 5000 lbs is able to tow most Trailmanor trailers.

Have enjoyed owning and using this camper. Easy to pull and set up. Quality product that will last a long time. Quality manufacture.

Takes 3 to 5 minutes to set up but wow is it great on mpg.
