Does anyone have experience with Trailmanor campers? We want to get back in to camping but wnat to be able to store it in the garage versus paying storage, but want more room than a pop up. We're down to one girl (out of 3) at home so we don't need the space of the 5th wheel any longer and want to make easier trips at longer distances.

I met the seller in Buda to pick up the camper this morning. I had hoped to beat the rain to get it set up at our Blanco lease, but the rain hit early and hard. Fortunately, I managed to book an RV spot at the nearby Blanco State Park for tonight through Wednesday morning (they must have just had a cancellation, because they were full when I checked yesterday!)
I’m here by myself until Wednesday evening, so I spent this afternoon acquiring gear and getting things set up properly.
After much research, we ended up buying a slightly used ‘22 Grand Design Imagine XLS 23BHE.
Pardon the mess, I unloaded quickly in the rain and took pics before cleaning and organizing.

That's a wise idea to start such thread! Me and my wife have been recently discussing the possibility of being a trail to travel around the country. We pay the mortgage for our house and want to buy a trailer as well to spend the retirement in a more interesting way. We're both active people; we love hiking, climbing, and active leisure activities. We think of getting one of the trailers from the best travel trailers but we need more opinions. It would be great if you shared the type of trailer you got, some pros and cons, etc. It is a serious purchase and we want to be careful about it. Thanks in advance!Last edited by joshbrowne; 01-11-2023, 09:23 AM.

My bad luck with small issues continues.
Back in October I replaced the door latch/lock on my camper and recently noticed the deadbolt knob was pretty loose. But it was working OK so I didn’t think anything of it.
So then today I was locking it up and the deadbolt latched, but then when I tried turning the key back to the Up position to remove it, it kept spinning and would not unlatch. Now I’m locked out of my camper.
Obviously the whole latch is going to have to be replaced, but I need to get in. Will drilling out the lock work? Is that my only option here? Or will I have to cut into the latch and disassemble the components from the outside?

Off topic a bit but Does anyone know of a decent rv park to lease by a lake? Im looking for one thats quiet and might have a few things to do other than just fishing. Lake Fork Lavon Tawakoni DFW area etc. i see spots for $2,000 and up. I rent a storage spot for $1,000 and had a thought to store and use it at a lake part of the time. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Is there a 2023 thread going yet?
We had a quick overnight at Huntsville SP last week.
First trip there.
They have controlled burns going on so only one trail open.
This also pushed the deer (I'm guessing) to the open trail side of the park. When we spooked a buncha deer walking the dogs I'm pretty sure 2 bucks accidentally bumped into each other 'cause for a good 15 seconds they were locked up and in a fight instead of fleeing. Pretty neat to watch. One was a 130's looking dark racked buck.
Anywho- Hunsville SP, full hook up sites available. Sites 10 & 12 would be our pick if/when we go back. The full hook up area sites are tighter together than at other parks IMO, but hey...it's full hook-ups
Plenty of tent sites.
Weak on Lake access due to brush along shoreline- I’ll be bringing a kayak if I revisit.
