TrailManor's Tennessee Service Department will remain in Tennessee - at a new location just a few miles from the Jacksboro Plant. It is right on I-75 off Exit 134. The address is 414 Lake Drive - Caryville, TN. The phone number remains the same 423-563-6685. They plan to expand the service to other campers as well as the TrailManor units.
Nebraska's TrailManor Plant is located at 56251 Highway 84 in Hartington, NE (Northeast Nebraska) - Phone 402-316-7288 (or you can always reach them through the Tennessee Service Center).
TrailManor will manufacture the classic TrailManor models as well as the new RISE models in Nebraska.

Thanks Cleo !!!

I can't find it on the google or bing or mapquest maps. They default to Lake Road and a mobile home on a back road. Gonna make it hard to get there. Had the same trouble when I first tried to find the place on McGhee.

If you follow TrailManor on Facebook you can see their complete press release.

If you go to Mapquest and type in the new address it pulls up a really clear map of the new service facility.

Well personally think it is too bad you didn't move to Florida considering the number of TMs here at various times but is the managements choice.

ps I keep seeing references to "TrailManor's unique and patented Torsion Power Lift System " the only thing found is 4,017,116 "A self-contained convertible recreational vehicle or travel trailer including an open-top box type body section provided with rigid forward and aft cover sections which are movable between collapsed and extended positions with respect to the body section and which provide a roof for the body section both when the cover sections are collapsed for towing of the trailer and when they are extended to open the trailer for camping. Torsion bar means assist in moving the forward and aft cover sections between their collapsed and extended positions."

However that would have expired in 1997. Anyone know about another patent other than the one for the pivoting hitch ?

pps Interesting that the original shows the door behind the axle.

Hey everyone,
Plugging in the address takes you to an empty field, but if you move further to the west you'll find the new plant on the north side of 84. It is a large facility.
How I found it was took the picture of the new plant that's on the TM web site and matched it to the plant on Google Earth and on Google Maps.
Look between 562nd Ave and Rt 57, on the north side of Hwy 84/882nd Rd
What's confusing is that there's more than 1 882nd Rd.
Hope this helps guys
