Picked up My New 2720SL
Everything went well, 900 miles total. I was very impressed with the quality of the materials used and the overall design/construction of the trailer. The trailer was incredibly smooth and stable at any speed. There is no need for any type of sway or weight dist system. I did drop 6 mpg towing. I'm not sure if that is too much. I got 20.5 (at 75 mph) without and 14.5 (at 65 mph) on the way back (GX460). Going through PA there were many long inclines (mountains) that required 4th gear (6 speed trans). Once in 4th gear it would maintain ANY speed, at any grade, no problem. The trailer is ROCK solid, it never lost stability or jumped around even after going over some really bad roads at highway speeds (and on turns). The radial 225/15s with the independent susp set-up works great. The only things so far that I think need to be modified is the fire extinguisher location (rubs when assembling the door) and the propane tank area (wires also) needs shielding. Also the bathroom walls needs some velcro to keep it from hitting the towel rack when assembling. I can't wait to take my first camping trip!

Congratulations! Happy Camping!!! I think you'll like the 2720SL as much as we do ours. Check your crimp connections under the refrig through the lower vent I had a lot of bad ones.

A Lexus GX460 with a 6500 lbs tow rating. It also has an auto leveling air spring susp with KDSS (Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System) and an active computer controlled dampening susp AVS (Adaptive Variable Suspension). All of which combined with the TrailManor’s design proved to provide an incredibly controlled ride.

Whose the ugly mug behind the wheel. Does the mug have a driver's license??
Just wait till the dog figures out what loading up the TM means. My two love going on trips. When the pardette was meeting me in Arizona I had the dogs for a week. I corrected all of their bad habits they had gotten in while she was away. The pardette was quite surprised and pleased.
Now they stay in the back seat, pick a spot to snooze. They only get up when we start to slow down (or I pop the electric locks a few times) or Chloe, the Dacshund, smells a Taco Bell (yes, she really can!).
Once they see me foldup up the TM, they go absolutely ape. If you open the front door of the house they bolt for the truck. I think they like it more than we do...

That's my Colby Pitbull (he is a camping FOOL!). Once he sees me anywhere near the camper he goes nuts. If I open the door he will find a place inside and it becomes a problem to get him out. I think he thinks we bought the TM for him!
