- mountainbornExplorerHere is a look at the 2014 Oliver Legacy Elite II's INSULATION. In the photo the Outer Lower Hull is on the rolling chassis with the insulation only installed. The insulation is a high density foam with a heavy aluminum foil on both sides of it.

EDIT: Never mind - this was posted under "small TT" section, so this TT is probably not appropriate. :) - Nora962Explorer

Sorry to interupt, but a mile chip on a '91 Cummins? What brand?
I believe its an "EDGE" ? its a mild one doesnt drastcially change fuel milage, but up power quite a bit. ex put it in for me when I started towing heavier loads - _40FanExplorerSorry to interupt, but a mile chip on a '91 Cummins? What brand?
- BroncosFanExplorerThe Oliver 22 weighs way more that 3700 all loaded ready for camping.
- EugarpsExplorerNora962,
I guess it will depend a lot on what you'll be using as a tow vehicle. Arctic Fox is really well insulated but tend to be heavy. The Oliver Travel Trailer company is producing a 22' tandem axle trailer and its really well insulated with double fiberglass hulls, dual pane windows, and high output furnaces. It weighs in around 3,700# with a 350# tongue weight. Oliver is a Rolls Royce in TTs and pricey. They've promised to reintroduce their smaller single axle trailers after they ramp this one up.
For some reason, their home page is blank on my iPad but the other tabs for contact, specs, etc. work.
Escape is another really great option. It's made in the great white north and well insulated. It can be optioned out with dual pane windows. Escape will add windows to suit the buyer within reason. If you want customizable, Escape is your trailer.
I have a 2013 Toyota 4Runner I'll be using should we decide on another TT, so I've researched manufacturers pretty thoroughly.
Best,
Bill - Nora962ExplorerThank you! I have a 91 Dodge cummins w/ 5 sp a mild chip, air bags, and pack break.I pull a 22' flatbed w 2 T. hay and also a 14' dump trailer, and 4 horse loaded trailer. I go loaded from central Az to Colo. over Wolf Creek pass. LOVE THE CUMMINS!!~ Nora

Look at Komfort, Arctic Fox, and Lance. There are probably other 4-season trailers. Enjoy shopping.
X2 on the above. Be sure to have a good truck to tow with, these TTs are built sturdy and that makes them among the heaviest also.
Except for the Lance which are considered to be Ultra Lightweight due to significantly higher R values of Azdel over wood and traditional R-7 insulation.

Of the two fiberglass trailers just mentioned, only Bigfoot is a true four-season. It comes standard with enclosed and heated tanks, thermal windows, and high density insulation on all six sides.

The Escape can be ordered with some winterizing, such as thermal windows. I don't know if extra insulation is available other than the standard wall covering. In the case of the tanks, there's an upgrade available that consists of the addition of insulating materials rather than fully enclosing them.

We are very familiar with the Escape. There are two nearby used as crew quarters when we go remote.
