Just spent 4 months in my HI-LO in Arizona to escape the cold Winter in AZ. Everything in it works fine, especially the furnace. It sets up camp very quickly. Top raises to full position in 12 seconds. I experienced turbulent winds for the last 500 miles of my trip back to Kansas without any sway or unstable movements that high profile trailers give. I pull it with my 98 Econoline E250 and got 15 MPG on trip home. The only thing I could complain about is the seal around the top and bottom. Drafts are prevalent especially on windy days. I use duct tape to seal out the drafts. If I didn't have mirrors, I wouldn't notice it behind me when towing it. Its a great companion.

Bigfoot is a Canadian company that builds fiberglass-shelled travel trailers and pickup campers. They are particularly well insulated and are four-season campers
It is 110” wide which gives it some advantages in terms of interior space. It has a 6’ 4” interior ceiling height but only a 8’ 4” exterior height, excluding the air conditioner.
That additional width means that they still feel spacious even without a slide room, which also means no issues with slide mechanisms.
Along the ceilings is a marine-grade woven fabric that sort of looks like carpeting but is washable and helps with both sound and thermal insulation.
The walls, too, are a washable material being a soft vinyl. Cabinets and other wooden structures are solid wood with a choice of two wood finishes, a traditional birch finish or a slightly darker “Driftwood” finish.
Insulation continues to the thermal-pane windows that have day/night shades on them.
Outside you can get a large storage compartment on the front tongue for the various hoses and other goodies we need as campers. The compartments have an access hatch on either side with a light inside. Further front there is another compartment that houses the two 30 pound propane bottles.
Bigfoot trailers are composed of two large fiberglass “tubs” which are joined down the middle and fused together. Each of these tubs is made of 1/8” thick fiberglass and then an inch and a half of insulation resides between the inner and outer shell. This is both relatively light weight and also strong with the added benefit of providing good thermal and sound insulation.
The additional width of this trailer does offer a more spacious feel but that is just the start with there being a windshield and then windows on either side of the dinette, which occupies the front of this model. Of course that dinette table folds down to become a bed but there’s also an additional seat toward the rear of the trailer that’s part of the dinette so there’s almost a day bed even before you get to folding the table.
Across from the entrance is the refrigerator which is the traditional propane-electric gas absorption model.
On the camp side is the rest of the galley which features a three-burner stove and 22” oven with a round stainless steel sink down the line toward the rear of the galley.
Cabinets occupy the space above the dinette and also above the sink and stove. Overhead is a standard high-performance fan but you can also get one of these over the bed.
Down the camp side there’s a closet which sits opposite the bathroom. One of the nicer things about the walk-in shower is that there’s a step/seat in the shower.
The 60” x 74” RV queen bed sits “east west” but, owing to the width of this trailer, it is a walk-around queen. On either side of the bed are hanging closets and there are tables below those with more cabinets across the top.
Once again windows are the word of the day with there being a large rear window and one on either side of the camper. Factor in that high-performance fan and it becomes apparent why the air conditioner is an option on Bigfoot trailers.
In the bedroom Bigfoot has a carpet that sits around the bed which can be lifted out and removed. That’s pretty slick as you get to walk on carpeting but you can remove it for cleaning. Or just because. Maybe National Carpet Removal day or something.
See this content
Owners I’ve talked to people rave about the buying experience. While the trailers are sold through dealers owner, Grant, has been mentioned in numerous places where you can really customize the trailers to your liking. I saw models that have three high-performance fans, solar and other changes.
You can also get this model is also prepped for a generator which is unusual in a trailer of this size. If you do choose a generator it will be an Onan 2.5 propane-fueled model.
There’s also a luggage rack on the roof, which you don’t see much.
Bigfoot is not unlike the rest of the RV industry where there is a long waiting list of RVs but the company also states that some dealers have a standing order for a specific number of models so that might be the way to get one.
The good thing is that the company will still work with you if you’re able to get in this way.
It’s unusual to find a company in the RV space where there are this many really positive comments in the various social places I troll so that speaks well of Bigfoot RV. With these kind of credentials no wonder the waiting list is so long.

I have owned 6 travel trailers in the last 20 years, and I have to say, I love my Primetime Fury 2910! It is my first toy-hauler and I looked at a lot of trailers before deciding on this one.
For the size the floor plan is great! I love that I can use it as a toy hauler, but if I just want to travel with my wife, and we decide to camp, it offers the comfort of a travel-focused trailer. The 2 fully reclining theatre seats are as comfortable as my recliner at home!
It is not set up for winter camping, and it is not set up to live in full-time. It is a short-term use trailer.
I rate overall quality 5/5. This is based on the quality for the price. I have owned rigs with higher quality components, but they cost more money. This rig has a lot of great high-quality features. I love the ducted heating and air, and the huge amount of interior storage space! For a toy-hauler, it is a lot of storage.
The 10-foot garage is enough space for a two-seater side by side and will fit a couple of 4 seater models. I can easily fit 4 motorcycles if I don't take the side-by-side.
Its dry weight is light at just under 7,300 lbs, but it's GVWR is just under 10,000 lbs, so if you have a side by side, full fresh water tank (61 gallons), a full fuel storage tank (30 gallons) and all of your gear, if you aren't careful, you could exceed the 2,400 lb cargo carrying capacity.
The quality of the convertible couches in the garage is nice. They are comfortable to sit on and convert, easily to a queen-size bed, and can be stored vertically on the wall or when it is converted to a bed it can be raised to the ceiling.
I love the pull-down screen on the garage entrance and that it has a trailer and a garage man-door entrance.
My only complaint is there is no designated storage for the massive 50 amp power cord or the sewer hose. Also, it only comes with 1 battery and 2 20lb propane tanks. The rack on the tongue will not fit a second battery without modification. I cut the rack off, moved it about 4 inches forward, and added a piece of angle iron to accommodate a second battery, and I upgraded the propane tanks to 2 30lb tanks. I like to dry-camp for extended periods, and I don't want to worry about propane or battery power, and I don't want to run my generator constantly.
My unit did not come with a generator, but it is set-up for one. I used that space for storage and since I moved the tongue rack forward, I am able to fit my 3800-watt generator, easily on the storage rack.
Specs show an overall length of 34.5 feet (414 inches), however, I keep mine in a garage with 35 feet (420 inches) of available storage length and with this trailer touching the back wall I am only 2 inches from the closed door, which makes its actual length 418 inches. It's a tight fit.
Overall, after taking this rig on a few outings, I am very happy, and since it was so much more affordable than other travel trailers with similar layout and the fact that it has good overall material, construction and the fact that it also has an aluminum frame, I am very happy. I don't see myself upgrading until I need more garage space.

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.

I had very high hopes for this camper, as it was our first foray into travel trailers. I have been pretty disappointed. The overall quality is almost comical, and I probably should have spent more time on THIS website prior to purchasing. Just figured that when I spent the money for a new unit, that we'd have a new unit experience.
Within the first few weeks, the slide out mechanism for the table area began to fail, and then finally failed completely about 4 trips in. The warranty replacement took forever. From there, the list of issues has grown. One of the outer molding pieces for the slideout just came off on a recent trip, leaving it expose to water infiltration. Replacement is taking a while.
Battery was inadequate, but in fairness to Coachmen, we used it for dry winter-camping for the first several months. Had to upgrade that to Lith Ion to make it through each night. The solar is great, however, and works well.
Outdoor kitchen is good, although I don't know why they use a grill that takes propane camp bottles versus connecting straight into the gas connection which is right there. That's an odd choice...
Water heater has failed and has never actually worked (gas struggles, electric never worked at all). Cleanout clamps failed as well so on a recent trip, couldn't use fresh water at all.
The overall interior construction is just lousy / cheap. Not sure why they would want to save money there. Insulation is not great and thus, AC would probably struggle to keep up above 88/90 degrees or so. None of the tanks underneath are insulated, which limits your season for water to 2.5 seasons or so, depending on where you will be.
Floorplan is good if you have small children that can use the bunks. Otherwise, it's a bit cramped for teens and not usable for adults. Lacks counter space and pantry space - we usually have to use the shower area to store pantry items.
Overall, I'd keep looking if I were you.

The 220RK is the smallest and lightest 5th wheel Grand Design RV has ever made and one of the smallest fifth wheels you will see on the road today. Most dealers here on RVtrader list the details incorrectly, so I will list them correctly. Most dealers list the freshwater tank as 52 gallons. This is wrong, it is actually 40 gallons. They also list the empty weight wrong, it is actually 6995 lbs. It only has a 2,000 cargo weight so fully (legally) loaded it weighs 8,995 lbs. This trailer and a few others are classified in as "Half-ton towable" but this is simply a marketing ploy and most experienced RV'ers recommend atleast a 3/4 ton to tow a 9,000 lb. trailer. I tow it with a 3/4 Superduty diesel which weighs almost as much as the trailer so it tows really well with zero sway even in high winds. Grand Design only sold about 300 of these trailers so they only produced them for 2 years, 2018 and 2019. 99% of them come with single-paned windows and the chaise couch which is terribly uncomfortable unless you're a tiny person. We ordered our 220RK in November of 2017. We custom ordered it with dual-paned windows and the optional "theatre seating" which is basically a triple recliner/couch with heat and massage and built-in cupholders. We also installed quite a few upgrades including solar, lithium batteries, a large inverter, a water softener, cell booster to name a few. We also changed out the Westlake "China bomb" tires and had a set of Goodyear Endurance tires installed. We have been traveling fulltime in this trailer (our home now) for the past 18 months and the only mechanical issue we've had is the water heater control board went bad, however Grand Design paid for a new one and we replaced the unit ourselves in about 5 minutes.
The 220RK is the perfect size for a couple with no kids or large pets. We purposely chose a trailer under 30 feet to ensure we could fit into all national and state parks and most RV parks and campgrounds. We have towed this trailer over 12,000 miles around the US several times over the past year and a half and have always been able to park it in any spot we wanted, while we watch other people with larger RVs get turned away or drive around in circles all day looking for a spot they can fit into. This trailer has a lot of storage and the tanks are basically heated since they are in the same area as the furnace. We dry camp a lot, this means out in the woods with no hookups, and we've camped in temps down to the single digits and have never had any problems with water lines or tanks freezing which like I said is due to the furnace being in the same area as the tanks and the water controls and valves. The only thing I would suggest if you buy one is replace the tires with Goodyear or Sailun (MUCH better quality than what it comes with) and upgrade the piece of junk TCL TV that comes in all the Grand Design trailers. We gave ours away to a park ranger that was super nice and we installed a Samsung 40" with a nice soundbar and subwoofer, which incidentally, fits perfectly behind the couch! Overall we've been very happy with this little fifth wheel and we would buy another Grand Design in the future.
