Never Saw One of These!

They were still being made when I was shopping in 2004, and were high on my list for floorplan utility, quality of finish and relatively light weight. Also, I thought they looked cool, like the TTs I was seeing in UK and Netherlands.

But when I figured out that I needed to buy a bigger tow vehicle in any case, to pull the size of TT my DW wanted for living space (I had been thinking of the two of us, she was thinking kids and grandkids) it turned out to be much less expensive to buy a motorhome, rather than a TT and a one-ton dually truck.

Motorhome worked well for the way we intended to use a RV (traveling every day, or at most 3-4 day stays with a camping group). PITA for going out to the lake for a week (or two, or three, or ten) because you then need a second vehicle to get around.

Saw my first one in a dealer's lot by the airport in Lansing, Michigan. Could not go look at it and start talking about a deal because the place was closed from beginning of Christmas season until past the end of the year. I think the dealer did Christmas in Florida.

I saw one for sale, used, last year. Went inside it and what a mess! Water damage all over the place. Too bad, they look nice on the outside.

We had one as our first trailer. Easy to pull, nice inside. There is a Yahoo group for award trailers - Award2 will find it in google.

Forum member pasusan pulls one.

They have been around for years and built new, I believe, until 2005. Lightweight and aerodynamic. They have a following much like Airstreams. Were made not far from me in Dunneville Ontario. Still have a dealer that does refurb work. Here is their website.

It was built by a British Builder who moved to Canada, They were called ACE Caravans in the UK. He North Americanized it when he started building in Canada. One of his British Caravans held a world speed record for Travel Trailers.

I have seen a bunch of them over the years. Nearly bought one, but was warned that the seam in the roof was prone to leaking so I passed. Neat design and nicely appointed trailers.

They have a cult following, but haven't been made for years.

I think I'm too tall.
