I am looking at a 2009 Windchaser Forester.Mfg'd by Great Lakes RV who are out of business. It is Aluminum Frame & Aluminum siding. Weighs 2882# Dry. Tandem axle. 20.5ft OA length. Is anyone familiar with this trailer? Cannot find any info on line.

  • I bought the trailer and am very pleased. Niagara Trailers gave me a great deal with all new tires, full PDI/Maintenance and a 12 month warranty bumper to bumper.
  • Hey I was an owner of a Laurentian Ranger, made by Great Lakes RV, while the build quality seemed great and it had alot of amenities I was also unable to track anything down about the company after their bankruptcy. I have seen several of the Laurentian models on kijiji, the odyssey and ranger series. You may want to check there for what you are looking for if you haven't already.
  • I was reading on the internet and thoought I'd found it but it was a Windriver.
  • Tried the Forester on Facebook. Unfortunately different company.
    Great Lakes RV was an employee takeover in Lindsay, Ontario Canada after Fleetwood decided to close the Canadian facility. The employee run company ran into financial difficulties due to high dollar exchange on parts, etc. and closed down after a short period (1-2 years). The Laurentian series and Windchaser were mfg'd.during this period of time.
