Trailmanor new upright camper
I saw this on the yahoo group about trailmanor building an upright camper. Guess it is true.
http://trailmanor.com/WebDocs/uprigh...t-trailer.html
EDIT: I guess we will have to make a new section just for this type. Now, those who need to move to a regular trailer with a walkaround bed, (like Chap) can stay in the Trailmanor family.

I got an e-mail from Trailmanor announcing the new upright. But when i went to their website, i couldn't find any pricing on it. It doesn't appear in the "Showroom" or in "Build your Trailmanor." Anyone know the price of this puppy?
The walk-around queen is nice and it looks like it has a larger refrigerator and freezer, though it's hard to see for sure. But only a 20 gallon water tank. Also has a black water tank which suggests that it has a conventional rather than recirculating head.
Interesting.

WmTires' post link above has rather complete photos as well as specs on the new trailer. It has some features I like, but some are so-so. The bed is cool, but it takes almost half of the floor space. Amenities are excellent as we have come to expect from TM. One major thing is missing...there are no pullouts, which would seem to me to be mandatory in a full sized trailer. Maybe TM's lightweight construction just won't handle a pullout, at least from the side. Overall an interesting first effort. But it still won't fit in my garage!

Yeah, a pullout would be nice. I wonder if there are going to be more models forthcoming.

I'm just guessing here, but considering the construction methods used, I doubt you will ever see a pull-out in this trailer line. This first model looks like a great attempt though.
If I hadn't just bought my 2720 I would be seriously considering this.
I'm sure since it only comes with 20 gal. water tank and that tank also feeds the toilet, an option for additional water tanks will be an option. I would also like to see a double sink in all TMs. Is there anyone here who doesn't want a double sink in the kitchen?
It will be a little dark inside due to the lack/size of windows.
Window on door doesn't open?
Screen door available?
Why no window above the bed or in the bathroom?

New TM "Upright" Model
I was a tad surprised a few minutes ago when I looked at the TM site. They now have a new 24 foot "upright" (non-folding) trailer model: TM Upright
Looks pretty inside, but from the pix it's no roomier than my 2720SL, though the full size fridge and a few other things seem attractive.

Wow!
Well I be ( fill in the blank )!
How about that. Good to see the company expanding into different areas.
Maybe when I get to old to open my 2720SL....
Hey TM! Congrats to you!
Looks good from here.

I like it. Yet, no one thing is for everyone. It's seems to match up well against the Takena model made by Chalet on the west coast. But, it will not convert me.
I still prefer:
- Low profile towing
- Garage storage
- How it gets much bigger after you get there.

Wow, that's pretty spiffy! They sure come up with some surprises without even a leak of a hint before it's released!! Wow!! I wonder what kind of mileage these get with the added wind drag compared to the folding TM. It seems amazingly light - I like it too! Anyone find a price tag on it yet?

Happened to talk to my salesman at the Car Show - he thinks the base will be about $26k with a typical delivered model about $30k with options. That's about the price range of an outfitted 3124 or 3326 I think.
