Just found this thread. May be a bit late for OP, but I do have a TrailManor. I have one of the smallest models, a 2417 KD.
Loaded for a trip, it weighs 3500 lbs. King bed in back, dinette in front, shower, toilet, stove, and water heater. Plenty of room for the two of us. I am going to have 4 adults sleeping in it in a few weeks. Only one will be sleeping on the floor. The rest of us will have comfortable beds.
Tows like a dream. My TV is a diesel Grand Cherokee. I have gotten 21.5 mpg on each of three trips into the mountains of Colorado this summer. Have not towed on the eastern plains, but I expect at least 2 mpg better. I get about 27 mpg when not towing, on the same mountains.
We have had two TrailManors, and I intend to continue to purchase TMs, if I replace my current unit. I like the simplicity of towing. It is not difficult to set up, and to me, the ease of towing and the fuel economy are very good benefits to trade against the simple setup. Works great for us!
