Micro Lite by Flagstaff -- 25BRDS

Anyone have a Micro Lite or the model shown in the subject? We are going to view one in Iowa (cheyenne camping center) on Saturday. I like the fact its aluminum framed, wired for solar, and not over 30 foot (so we can park it at home).

I've visited the manufacturer website, the dealers', and general google searches but thought I'd see if anyone had experiences with Micro Lite -- good and bad.

This would be our 6th TT so I'm fully aware of the general craziness of quality.

Appreciate any feedback / input on that brand / experiences.

Thanks!

    FloridaReLoaded, yes the Micro Lite is "wired for solar" but it seems for a 40 watt portable solar system from Zamp. If this is correct, 40 solar watts is only slightly better than nothing but its...nothing for recharging. Maintenance maybe. That 40 watt Zamp system on Amazon is $750!

    Yes it does say Zamp System only

    I had a 2016 Micro Lite 21 FRBS and loved it. It is wired for solar as well as for a back up camera. It has a lot of stuff that my Carriage didn't have. They are also lite! Mine had a built in water filter system, scare lights, just lots of stuff that a expensive
    rig has.

    Regarding "wired for solar," it may be wired for solar or it may have a couple of wires near the roof going somewhere close to the batteries. If solar is something you would add or might add, investigate if what the manufacturer has done will work with the solar system you believe you would install. Number 10 wire minimum from panels to controller but 8 is better, and big wires from controller to batteries.
