I've been digging into some fiberglass trailer research recently. I also really like the Trail Manors with their low profile and expandability.
I'm trying to make a list of positives/negatives of the two. So far, it seems to me that:
-Egg-style fiberglass trailers keep in the heat/cool better
-Being fiberglass moulds, they are less likely to leak, and may require less maintenance.
-You don't have to pop them up, which is nice during poor weather conditions.
-Trail Manors may allow for better MPG due to their low height
-They are a pop-up but with hard sides
What would be some other observations regarding these two TT types?
We looked at the "egg style" to cramped and just as subject to leaks.
Since the trailmanor uses an adjustable torsion bar system to raise the shells they are easy; unlike the pup we had during setup/break down in rainy weather we haven't had a problem with the TM getting wet.
TM's hold their resell value very well. Took us 6 years to make the decision but we have been very pleased with it over the last 5 years.
Our avg mpg goes from 14 (empty TV) to 13 with two weeks of supplies, and either a jon boat or canoe on top of the TV.
