I too was considering upgrading from tent camping to a tent trailer, and then I saw a (rare) Trailmanor ad, and I stopped thinking about a tent trailer. The number one thing for me was the hard (insulated) shell which meant:
1. Never having to worry about taking it down in the rain and having wet canvas that you had to dry out later or else it mildews. Since I live in the Pacific Northwest, finding a day after getting home to dry out the canvas was a challenge. Like others have mentioned, putting it up and down in the rain is no issue.
2. A better bathroom than anything I saw in a tent trailer.
3. Heat and cooling are much more efficient than in a tent trailer.
4. I feel much safer camping in bear country.
5. Rich2468 mentioned quieter inside.
