I have seriously looked into a Trailmanor. I would love to rent one to try it out, but the only place near me that rents, that was in Columbus, Ohio, them sold it and is no longer renting them. I tried talking the local dealer into renting one, but said they tried it once but too many people beat the hell out of them and they were loosing more money then they were making.
With that being said, I am seriously considering getting one in the spring time. Unfortunately, they may have to go on the back burner because of work. Too much money is being diverted to Iraq and we aren't scheduled to get the next ship-set until late 2007, so I may be getting laid off...soon.

You might want to speak to your local dealer and see if they will let you hook one to your Trac and see how it tows. I mentioned to the salesman that if you go to a Chevy dealer and ask them who makes the best truck, they will say Chevy does. Go to a Ford dealer and the Ford salesman will say a Ford does. Same with Dodge, Honda, Nissan, and Toyota. Trailmanor says they tow great, but they have a vested interest in you buying their product so they will say whatever it takes to get you to buy.
Trailmanor has a great website that has video's on how they construct their campers. Interesting to say the least. Labor day weekend, there was a Trailmanor 2720 SL in the campground. Theresa and I tried to find the owners to talk to them about it, but never was able to meet up with them.
I do know this. They are light, have a ton of room, a great warranty, and are very well built. Trailmanor does not use any particle board in their campers. They are sometimes hard to find used because people just don't trade them in like other campers.
I really wanted to rent one to go to Florida in, but the only places I know of that rent them are far away. One is in Texas, I forget the name though, and the other is in Connecticut.
If you live close to Texas, you might want to rent one to see how it tows. I have no doubt that it will tow great, but I want to test one before I buy. Know what I mean?
The model I want is the 2619. The dealer close to me has some of the best prices there is. A loaded 2619 is only about 19K. If interested, I can give you the name and website of that dealer.
