Best TT for retired couple looking to travel
My in-laws have a Volkswagen Tourig Diesel (8000lb towing capacity). I'm trying to help them find the nicest camper that they could tow with their car. Any advice? So far we've liked the Lance 229...

Ah, Thor was formed in 1980 by Wade THompson and Peter ORthwein for the sole purpose of purchasing Airstream from Beatrice Foods. It was only later that Thor began purchasing other RV companies.

Oliver has just announced that the 18.5' is in production: http://olivertraveltrailers.com/ They are pricey and I have not seen a price on this new smaller one. To me, they are too fancy but I really like them.
Airstream is under Thor's umbrella now. Although they are beautiful, Thor is on my poop list after 30 years in the RV world. Camplite was also purchased by Thor and I have heard that the quality isn't the same as pre-Thor, that was the same with Airstream.
One thing important to look at in a smaller trailer is the bed size and the inside height since that can be very limiting. Also, wet baths as some people really don't care for them. It does really depend on the couple though and also, how long they hope to keep their trailer and their budget.
