We replaced a 22 foot Prowler hard side with our TM. We have only taken a few trips this first year due to family events, but so far so good. We are looking forward to a trip to Yosemite this spring and Grand Canyon in June.

Our goal was a trailer which would allow us good enough fuel economy towing to be able to afford long trips during our retirement. Thus far we've been amazed at the fuel economy we've gotten even with our old V-10 gas hog. The interior compromises are taking some getting used to - we had a lot of great memories in 18 years in our Prowler - and the TM doesn't feel like "road home" yet. But we hope that will come as we grow accustomed to this new rig.

Went to look at TT but started to think pros and cons and I think I will stick to my TM 19RD for now

We had a Keystone Outback with the tongue I think it was almost 34 feet. My husband hated it...felt we were dragging a condo around and that it was not camping. So we sold it and bought a 3124 KS Trailmanor.

Sometimes we thing we want an upright travel trailer and go to camping shows every year. We look...we consider but leave with no new camper. I saw recently that HiLo is being experimental production but they look really small to me.

We sold our 2010 R-Pod 177 in 2014 and a year later bought our TM.
Less side and frontal area for towing compared to R-Pod.

That being said, the R-Pod was a nice trailer, but the TM works better for us.
