Okay I've just read through what seems like a thousand posts. I will say that I like the looks of the Lil Snoozy. It is now officially on my list to check out. Would sure be interested in finding out what a production schedule looks like. If I decide to order I don't want to be looking at Oct-Nov or later. I'm ready now (or within 2 months. Of course I also realize that these things aren't built until ordered and that takes time.

That's still lighter than the Casita 17 Deluxe. They advertise 365 tongue weight dry on the Casita website. Like you say though, anything over 350 may take a lot of tow vehicles out of the running.

MOG...I'll take it...but let me guess, your building it, and people can't buy it...but then I'd be afaid to ask the price

[Larry Tenhage]

Those Parkliners look Very nice. Real clean look to them. Fibreglass trailers are catching on more all the time!

[Emmitt G.]

yes they good great, but if I'm going to pay that much, then I'll just Casita, but then there's the one that one that look pointed on the front,..I love it due to the room inside and the back door...just wish it had a wet bath....

Emmitt, Lil Snoozy is the "pointed on the front" trailer you are referring to and it does have a full wet bath. The pix was of the prototype so it wasnt complete yet.

Melissa are they actually taking orders or are they still in the prototype stage. I sent an inquiry to them but no response yet. I really like what I see from your photos and very interested.

Nick, you can also blow-up those photos for a better view. It's an interesting trailer, but with a cassette toilet instead of a black tank. There has been quite a bit of conversation here regarding the cassette toilet. I was not familiar with it at all. So keep reading!!

Hi Nick---

Yes, Melissa has ordered one and hopes to take possession in June! Wish she'd tour the country so we could all see it!!!!!

I know you can put your name on the list to hold your place for when they start production. When I spoke to Nicholas a couple of weeks ago our shell should be ready this week barring any complications. He has several shells ordered until he gets his plant producing them. Now I'm not sure how soon he will start finishing the shells since they are still completing the plant itself. They are working Dawn till midnight basically trying to finish the plant so communications have been spotty. I think the best way to reach him would be by phone and he did say the plant office phone has been installed. Leave a VM on his cell as reception inside the plant is lousy.

Thanks Melissa I think I will just do that. I'm off half-days on Fridays so I think I'll give them a jingle then and hope to connect. Is his cell listed on the site?

Somewhere I'm sure, LOL. But here are the numbers I have: Cell - 803-347-8282
and office: 803-655-5336

[Rvicsvol]

Ok. Thank you very much. The office number is listed but didn't see the cell anywhere (which I understand).

I hope both Nick of Lil Snoozy and Chandler of Parkliner update their websites with production information, schedules and pictures. There is a lot of pent up demand for new fiberglass trailers as evidenced here and the more info the manufacturers put up the better everyone will feel.

Melissa, do you know how much interior customization can be done on the Lil Snoozy? As you might have read on my original thread (http://www.fiberglassrv.com/forums/f...ded-46204.html), I am looking for basically a shell that I could use to put in a dental chair, and remove when RVing. Sorry for hijacking the thread a bit.

Hi: All... If Dentists start putting chairs in their egg's I for one won't be attending any more rallys. There's enough pain in my life, and Dentists are always "Down in the mouth"...usually mine!!!

Sounds like you want to put a FG trailer shell in a dental chair... must be a pretty small trailer!

Hmm, a new concept for dentists: dental work done in a trailer. "Have drill, will travel." A restless dentist. Making house calls? Offering to fill cavities at the Grand Canyon and do extractions at Carlsbad Caverns? Sorry, couldn't resist!

I can see the wisdom if this trailer can be a business expense... you get to write off the cost of your vacation egg. Or are you doing medical missions work, perhaps?

[Roger O]

Actually the footprint that is needed for a dental chair is fairly small, so a 6' width is more than enough.

Yes, we are planning to do medical missions to treat the disadvantaged homebound patient. I have a background in Special Care Dentistry, recently retired from active practice, and the DW and I feel that it's time to give back...

As far as a business expense, this adventure will most likely cost me quite a bit to accomplish, and I am really not looking to expense it out. As I said before, after 36 years of wonderful practice, it's time to give back.
