Info on my travel trailer please

[kwest0530]

Hi everyone

I need some help on any info on my travel trailer.

Its a 1996 Weekend Refuge (1994 from DMV records for vin #) and the sticker on it says Summit Design and Manufacturing. It was purchased in Tillamook, Oregon at a RV dealer.

Not sure if this was the only one made like this or if anyone else has seen one like this. I have googled this and found one similar minus the patio part but that's it

Thanks

I have one...a 1998 model. And there is a You Tube with a tour of someone else who has one....here... They are pretty special. The porch was definitely added on yours. It supposedly weighs about 1000 lbs. unloaded. Mine is in great shape. I camp with my 2 dogs and 2 cats...about to take off again for a couple of weeks with the furry kids. Have fun with it. Seems to be very well made and well designed. LOTS of cupboard space!

Hi there. I'm really quite sure this is modified from the original, but it's pretty cool. I have a 1998 Weekend Refuge. It looks exactly the same, except without the porch.

already planned that out for that project for next year

the side railing comes off and there are ramps that come out the bottom of it. ..use to load up the dirt bikes and our bikes (when i was a kid) on it...then it sat at my dads for 13 yrs till i took hold of it last year and fixed it up again

Never had it weighed but it is very easy to pull....was pulling it with my Titan with no sway or weight controller and never felt it back there

The trailer is unusual being a smaller TH. Have fun with it.

The trailer was manufactured like this and the ceiling on the deck is closed...awesome to hangout in the rain under it.

Heres the inside....on the left is a toilet and closet too

Hi !  I just purchased a Weekend Refuge in Texas.  It needs work and electric is one of my projects.  Like all that own one  of these trailers, I cannot find a manual and could use one for tracking electrical problem.  Since you took over a 13 year in storage Weekend Refuge do you or do you know where I can find a manual or electrical diagram? thank you

One local RV dealership here has some new TTs similar to that one. Maybe they're coming back in style. I sure wouldn't want one though.

We saw it or one much like it at Twin Knobs in campground about ten years ago. Perhaps there were lots of them but we have only seen one. And it came that way, the owners did not add the patio. And Twin Knobs is a NF campground in Kentucky.
