TrailManor says: "The TrailManor TrailMini tips the scales at a light 1,850 pounds.  That means you can tow the TrailMini with tow vehicles that are not able to handle most other light weight trailers on the market today."

The TrailManor TrailMini at 18'6"-foot long has a dry weight of 1,850 pounds, which is about 800 pounds less than the 26-foot TrailManor.  Two floorplans are available, one with a convertible dinette, the other with a convertible sofa - we show both of these further down this page.
Below we show a preliminary interior picture (we'll show more pictures as soon as we have them from the manufacturer):

Mike ProsserWe have the largest selection of in-stock TrailManors east of Colorado. best prices in the country too. ProsserRV.com
ApachewolfWe bought one of those based on the advertised weight. Guess what...it is NOT so. The trailer weighs in at 3540 lb on a public truck scale, and the tongue weight is nowhere near the advertised 320 lb. It is much more. The trailer was delivered with the furnace hooked to gas and electric but with no duct work completed. The battery wires were not fused as called for in the schematic, and the interior quality on a scale of 1 to 10 is about 5. But the bed is nice. TrailManor has a LONG way to go. I have so many conflicting numbers on the weight of the unit from the dealers information, the manufactorers information and the information supplied on the title none are the same. One spec sheet states that "Dry weight Standard Equipment 2498 lb, with a list of all the standard equipment". The title states "Shipping weight 2733 and GVWR 4230". The brochure gives a dry weight of 2498 lb with a load factor of 1250 lb. Public truch scale gives the total weight (as picked up at dealer) as 3540 lb with a tongue weight of 600 lb. So what is right? I know I don't want to tow with my Hyundai Santa Fe, which is what we stated we were going to use and were assured we could use.
KelCampWe own a 2720. If we didn't have kids I would go for the Trail Mini. We LOVE our Trail Manor. We towed it with a minivan for about a year until we purchased an Expedition to accommodate all of the other junk that goes along with kids. I would recommend a Trail Manor product of anyone. Super light and super easy to set-up.
cam8122I like to be able to stop and use my own toilet along the way. How difficult is this?
J. ClarkThey are great trailers but they are still too high priced for me!
Gloria JWe have the Trailmanor 2720. 27' open but only about 20' when we're towing it. We pull it with our Honda Pilot and we've never had a problem. The Trailmanor is really ingenious we love it, why pull a full height trailer. Very easy to set up too.
Rod BakerI have a 1/2 ton Toyota Tundra and am looking at ultralite trailers. This seems ideal. I guess that with these ultralites the weight saving is in the aluminum but I guess they also have smaller tanks. Thanks for the info.
george245I had a TrailManor fold-down trailer and was pleased with the quality and everything about it. This lite upright looks good.
