ATTENTION TRAVEL LITE OWNERS
This is long but worth it if you are considering buying a Travel Lite unit or own one already. I bought a 2015 Travel Lite Idea Sport (I-18) last fall. Wife and I spent a few nights in it in weath...

I looked at the Cobblestone I18 too, but the tong weight was a little heavy for my TV; that's why I have the I18 Sport. The A/C isn't the only thing wrong with the trailer. The fridge is under the counter and they have a piece of metal siding over the fridge so the heat is vented outside of the trailer. That was a good idea but the metal has the unpainted side up so the heat is trapped between the top of the fridge and the bottom of the counter making it get very hot. I had to remove the metal, turn it over, install insulation, and reinstall it. Now the counter stays a little cooler but it does get warm if it is really hot outside and the fridge runs a lot.
The fresh water tank is plumbed so that the tank has to be almost full of water or the pump will loose it's prime and will not pick up the water unless there is water at least two inches above the fresh water tank outlet.
On my unit, the toilet was not held down all the way causing the seal to shift and let water into the bottom of the toilet when traveling. Really stinks after siting a few days. Had to change the seal and reinstall the toilet. Works fine now.
The pedestal for table is very weak and the table moves around a lot. Installed another, removed the old, pedestal from Camping World; works better now.
The installed radio and CD player was wired wrong. Had to rewire it myself. The battery cut off switch doesn't cut of all power to the trailer as it should. Some things are still on. I guess I'll have to start removing fuses and find out what is staying on besides the fridge.
If you buy from Travel Lite, be ready to do some work on the unit.
