Opinions on this travel trailer

Did I hear him call it a mid-size trailer? Specs say it's over 35'! Heavy too at 9800 lbs GVWR.

I just can't see the point of those patios, and one on the side would be an issue in some CGs. You could be sitting on your patio looking right into you neighbor's windows.

The TT manufacturers all try and hook customers by floor plans, colors, bling and various gimmicks and try to outdo the competitors. For the a TT that size, it still has the typical tiny kitchen counter, no wardrobe/closet for jackets and misc. stuff, no pantry, cramped bathroom and just a small med. cab. After going through 3 TTs in just 3 years, I've become hardened and cynical (sigh)... :(

Our first TT was a Coachmen Catalina. I used to think the overall quality was awful but compared to 2 KZ TTs we've owned, it really wasn't that bad at all.

i like it. basically the same floor plan as our first TT. a 33ft wildwood, minus the sliding doors and patio. if my wife had seen this TT we might not have bought our current 37ft 3 slide TT. Wife loves her space. our 4 small dogs would love the patio.

To each their own but, it's not for me. I like my little 20 foot TT. I've considered a 22 foot but, that is way to big of a TT for me to like. If your going to go that big get a 5th wheel.

As for the patio ? Someone said it would be good for kids or small dogs. For them why can't you just put a rug on the ground and set up a pen under the awning and have the same thing only a lot simpler.

I much prefer just a rug or nothing to confine our outside area like that. And no access to the fridge. Presentation over function for the impulse buyer.

Reminds me of Grand Tour when May did that to his trailer. His DID have legs to support it.

Big and heavy, especially in stick and tin. The floor plan is pretty good but I do not see the point of the "patio" unless you are trying to contain infant children or small dogs.

I like it. I see a lot of toy haulers using the rear gate as a patio.

In the campgrounds we frequent (state parks), we would have no problem deploying the patio.

My little pooch would LOVE being outside on the patio!

And, the natural light in the living area is awesome.

I dig it.

I just bought a TH in the fall and only had one trip it in before I had to winterize but the pups loved sunning on the patio and we loved not having to have them on chains or leashes per the rules. We were within a few feet of them, they felt like they were enjoying our company while we sat around the fire and we had none of the tangled leashes.

I expect we may use it for coffee in the morning or a drink in the evening if the sunrise/sunset is at the right orientation that the view is best from there.

Nice change. I kinda like it.

Interesting enough to consider, even though it may introduce some challenges. I like it!

I wouldn't want to be in a state park that is so cramped that you couldn't use the patio, because I wouldn't be able to use the awning either. We had a 3 bed hybrid and camped with it up and down the east coast and out to Texas. Never found a campground that we couldn't deploy all three beds. I love trees on my camp site, but not so close that they are in the way.

We do not have pets or small children, but I would think this TT would be ideal for that crowd. We've been to plenty of campgrounds were campers have all configurations of pet fencing to keep their dogs and little kids on the site. This seems a lot easier.
