A couple things… First, if you’re not a part of our TrailManor Fans group on Facebook, please come join us! Second, I’m waiting for a tour of the camper 100% hosted by the kid! The rod is an anode rod… Nice camper, happy trails!
ANODE! That's it! Thanks for the recommendations! I'm no longer on Facebook, but Lindsey is joining to keep me updated. We're taking the camper out later this month, and Flynn has agreed to host a tour. Should be an interesting video!
Was hoping for a WINTER review. How well is it insulated, how much heat has to be produced in order to feel "OK" ... would you like to share that with us ?
That is a great idea and something I haven't thought of yet! I'll keep an eye on the weather and plan on doing a cold weather review. Thanks for the idea!
A great walkthrough and very helpful! My favorite line was "you're not going in the cabinet". The info about the dining table extension was especially helpful! On the initial setup, aren't there arms that swing out to support each bunk end?
Thank you! He's definitely a handful, haha. There are arms that swing out to support each bed, but they pull out automatically when you pull the bed out. I'll try to get a better video of this the next time we take the camper out.
Great video! Would you be able to tell me the exact length of this trailer including the tongue hitch…want to see if it will fit in my garage?Thanks so much!
Oh man, I'm terrible at keeping up with this! The overall length of the camper is 239" (607cm). With the swing hitch, you can take about 22" (56cm)off of that, so a total of 217" (551cm). Hope this helps!
Thanks! I've had it out in near freezing weather, and the heater running on low (both electric and propane) has kept it very comfortable. I was just out for the Fourth of July weekend, and daytime temps were around 90F, and the AC running on low kept it comfortable as well. It seems like despite being somewhat thin, the insulation does a great job of maintaining the temperature.
Very helpful video, thank you. Do you find the queen bed comfortable for 2 adults? Is it reasonably easy in-and-out given that the wall of the bathroom and wardrobe cabinet lessen the access area? I like the 2922 for the king bed, but it would be just a tad too long for our garage. Any feedback on your sleeping and use experiences would be appreciated.
Thanks for the comment and kind words! I find the queen bed extremely comfortable. I'm 6'2", and I find that I have enough leg room when sleeping. My wife and I have plenty of room in this bed. I would say that the wall of the bathroom and the wardrobe aren't as much as an inconvenience as the height of the bed, but a small stool makes it much easier to get in and out (I don't have much of a problem, but my wife is 5' tall, so it helps her, haha). The included mattress is also pretty comfortable, but I expect that to change over time with repeated use. Definitely a step up from our old Coleman pop-up, for sure. If you have any other questions, feel free to send me a message and I'd be happy to answer for you!
The first thing that caught my eye was, why is there not a way to use a drill to raise and lower the camper? That would take a lot of stress out of cranking and cranking and cranking and cranking and cranking to get it where you want it? That is the new technology and it doesn't cost a cent more.
We've only had a few inches on it so far, but the manufacturer says it's good for up to one foot of snow, and you should clear the roof if there's more accumulation than that.
Have you traveled towing this in rain yet and got to your destination and noticed water in it? Also is the AC adequate for temps in the 90’s ? Thanks for the info
We have pulled it in some heavy rain now, and the inside has been completely dry. As far as the AC, we haven't had to run it yet, but I imagine it would make it comfortable in 90 degree temps.
@@themoyersdostuff thank you thank you for your response. If there is anything that you feel you would do different or do again please let me know. My wife is on board with this after watching your videos and going to make a three and a half hour trip to check out the closest one available to us as we live in Maryland. Hands down I want to put this in my standard garage and just hook up and go. Again I appreciate your insight as I have been on a two year search. Thanks again, Jeremy
Anytime! The only real issue we've experienced so far was a faulty tail light. I contacted TrailManor and they sent me a new one at no charge. If you have any questions or there's anything else you'd like to see, just let me know. I don't have a hookup at home, but we'll have it out again fourth of July weekend and will have a full hookup then.
Ok so the only Trailmanor I can find around me within 12 hr drive is a 2518kb. It has a cassette toilet that is a must for our situation. Did you by any chance check this model out? I know it is smaller then your but just wondering if you had any insight on that. Not sure if I want to deal with the recirculating toilet. Your thought. Thanks again
@@Humble-Engine if you're in Maryland, you may be close to where we purchased ours. www.wisetrailer.com/ We did look at a 2518 while we were there, and it wasn't much different than the 2720, but with our two boys it would have been a bit more cramped. It does have a king bed though, which would be pretty nice! Our last pop-up had a cassette toilet. I'm not crazy about the recirculating toilet, but I find it easier than the cassette toilet. We try to use the camp toilet for solids and avoid doing that business in the camper. So far we haven't had any problems with the recirculating toilet.
Thanks for the compliment! We've had it out in the rain and a snow storm and have had zero leaks. There's a channel between the two top sections that moves water away from the seal and off the top of the camper. I would say the biggest downfall is not being able to access the inside of the camper when it's being towed or stored, but it hasn't been that much of a bother for us.
Thank you! The AWD Ridgeline models have a transmission cooler stock. I haven't noticed any transmission issues while pulling the trailer. I did install a brake controller due to the weight of the camper. I went with the Tekonsha P3, and it has worked very well so far. Installation wasn't terrible, but it did involve cutting a small hole in my console.
@@themoyersdostuff thanks for your informative response, highly appreciate it. I will look into it. I have an AWD Honda Pilot that I plan to use for towing in the future.
You can actually open the valve below the toilet before you close the camper. At the dump station, there is another valve outside to open that will drain the waste out. You still need to clean the toilet at some point. I haven't had much experience with the toilet yet, but I know a lot of owners are less than pleased with the setup.
I don't think there are any door options specific to the TrailManor, but many owners have come up with solutions on their own. All of the windows do have built in screens.
Hi, wondering if you don't mind sharing what you paid for the unit. Prices seem to have gone crazy and just wondering what might be normal. Thanks in advance! Greg unit!
Any recommendations on who to finance through? My bank doesn’t recognize this dealership for a long term RV loan. Also I will gladly tell wise you sent me if they have a referral program.
Sorry I haven't responded sooner, we just got back from a trip for the holiday. We financed through First Commonwealth, which was set up when we purchased the camper from Wise. We paid the camper off relatively quickly, so I don't have much insight as to how they are to deal with long term, but we didn't have any issues with them. I'm not sure if they have a referral program, but I appreciate the acknowledgement!
@@themoyersdostuff hope your trip was memorable and the Trailmanor worked out. I am anticipating picking mine up by before Friday thanks to you. Trying to get them to install a soft starter for the AC and getting an Anderson weight distribution hitch. Anything I should get or not get as far as service or extra parts to buy? Basically anything you shoulda-woulda- coulda. I’m all ears and appreciate all and any insight as my adventure is just beginning. Thanks again!
That's awesome, congratulations! I really can't think of any recommendations trailer wise, other than some small things (looking trailer pin, tool set, extra fuses, etc.). I have had trouble with the dining table leaves pulling apart, mostly from the boys climbing on it, but I have a plan to fix that and will post a video when I can. I'll see you out on the road!
Towing is easier than I anticipated. I have a set of universal towing mirrors for the truck that help see around the trailer a great deal. It takes a little longer to accelerate, as expected, but rides very smoothly. The back end sags a bit when the trailer is hooked up, but I wouldn't think it's enough to warrant a weight distribution hitch.
My second thought is, he struggles to get everything in place. If he struggles that much how much harder would it be if he wanted to set it up on a windy day.
We're winding down on our second year with it, and it's held up wonderfully aside from some minor issues. Absolutely no issues with leaking so far, and we've had it out in some pretty heavy rain.
I have never seen a camper like that that is so neat!!! 😃👍❤️ I would like to find one where do I find what what year is yours or did you say .. have to go back and look I was just so amazed at what all you could do and how small it was to begin with the first I thought I was looking at it wrong it's like what do you walked up to it it's like no it's really that tiny I love it..
Thanks for your comment! This is a 2021 TrailManor model 2720QB. You can see their different models and find a local dealer at www.trailmanor.com. If you have any questions let me know!
Indeed I did! After taking it out the first weekend, I contacted TrailManor about it. They sent me a new light for free, and I was able to install it myself with relative ease. It looked like there was a defect in the plastic on top of the light, and some rain water had gotten in, shortening out the LEDs.
Nice camper, love that it stores in the garage. Trailmanor has a great forum that gives answers quickly. Enjoy and stay blessed.

Great review. Fellow Ridgeline owner, avid Transformers fan (bah weep grana weep ni ni bong). The badge fits the motif.
Thank you! Definitely a fan of the Ridgeline/TrailManor combo!
That's different creation. I liked it 💕💐
Thank you Jun!

Looks great!! How is the insulation? Is the heater/AC able to keep the interior comfortable?

Fantastic walk-through... what is the down-side to having a pop-up camper like this?? Does this camper have leaking issues?
Thanks for the compliment!
We've had it out in the rain and a snow storm and have had zero leaks. There's a channel between the two top sections that moves water away from the seal and off the top of the camper. I would say the biggest downfall is not being able to access the inside of the camper when it's being towed or stored, but it hasn't been that much of a bother for us.
I love this camper!! Thinking a downside might be that there is no slide out for more floor space
Do you have any video or photos of the space in the right side of the dinette storage?
I do not, but we'll be taking the camper out in a few weeks, and I can grab a short video of it for you.
great video and trailer! do you have a transmission cooler on your ridgeline? did you have to install a trailer brake? when towing this trail manor?
Thank you! The AWD Ridgeline models have a transmission cooler stock. I haven't noticed any transmission issues while pulling the trailer. I did install a brake controller due to the weight of the camper. I went with the Tekonsha P3, and it has worked very well so far.

@@themoyersdostuff thanks for your informative response, highly appreciate it. I will look into it. I have an AWD Honda Pilot that I plan to use for towing in the future.

You can actually open the valve below the toilet before you close the camper. At the dump station, there is another valve outside to open that will drain the waste out. You still need to clean the toilet at some point.
I haven't had much experience with the toilet yet, but I know a lot of owners are less than pleased with the setup.
Is there an option for screens to keep bugs out when you open the door or window?
I don't think there are any door options specific to the TrailManor, but many owners have come up with solutions on their own. All of the windows do have built in screens.
Your son is so smart , no TV dad , lol
Sweet camper, but it's missing toys! 🥰
Haha, we have a whole bin of toys for the boys stashed away in there. Maybe I can convince them to do a camping toy review.
Hi, wondering if you don't mind sharing what you paid for the unit. Prices seem to have gone crazy and just wondering what might be normal. Thanks in advance! Greg unit!
No problem! Our total for this model was ~$37k. That was in October of last year, so I'm not sure how prices have been impacted since then.
