FLOORPLANS

The first floorplan we show is the 380, 40'11" long. With 2 slides and a separate bunk bed room with wardrobe and TV cabinet this is a really nice family trailer:

Next we show the 386.  This arrangement has the bunk bed room at the end of the trailer with 2 really nice twin bed / bunk bed combinations:

Next we show the 393 and the 398.  These have a longer main slide and are without the bunk bed arrangements.  This provides a really spacious interior for those without the need for family bunks. The 2 floorplans arrange the kitchen differently: the 393 has it at the end and the 398 puts it in the center of the trailer:

Richard GWe have a Weekender 150 ltd and have since 2008. Note, Aljo, Weekender, Nomad, Layton brands are all the same product, just a different front stencil. We love it - for two has everything we wanted in a small trailer. Some minor fixes needed, but all taken care off during the warranty period. Had problems with a local dealer, but Skyline in Mansfield Texas customer service went to bat for us and handled everything to our satisfaction, and found another dealer to our liking. I would buy another skyline just to have Charlie in Skyline's Mansfield Manufacturing site customer service at my back. Design and basic construction are very sound. People that ultimately did warranty repair were independents authorized by Skyline, who have been in the repair business since the 60's. Told us due to the corner wrapping and strapping used in Skylines, they had never seen a skyline product leak due to frame loosening. Said that Skyline and Terry products were the best stick-built manufacturers on the market. In corner wrapping, the aluminum siding is wrapped on edge over the frame, forming a rigid reinforced metal box over the wooden frame. Cross strapping adds diagonal metal bracing across the wooden frame, forming a truss system. They also said the quality of materials used by skyline was better than others. Good wood, etc. The corner wrapping is unique to Skyline, and used in all there stick-built models. Great value, great product, great customer service.
GingerReally like this. We bought ours in March and keep it in a park in So. Ca. Much better than the trailer we had before (also a Skyline)
RockmanI have a 2001 Skyline Layton 2510 that I think is really well built. Have towed it coast to coast and have had very few problems. It's got great storage and is laid out well. Pulls well. Like the look of these destination trailers particularly now we're not traveling so much. We wouldn't need the bunks but would be great if we had the grandkids I guess.
Judy SampsonI bought a new 2950 Skyline in 1999.That has been the best trailer ever.I have never had to bring it to the dealer for anything.I am very very happy with skiline.
