Nice to hear that more manufacturers like this are open to more customization from the factory. I know when I was looking there was little but the set options you could change with most manufacturers, until I came across Escape.
It looks a lot like a Boler to me. Nice smooth lines to it.

Thanks Ken!
I've been on the net for the last three hours looking for that photo! lol
I needed to catch up on my reading anyway. I'm wondering what the advantage is to having a marine grade floor in the ParkLiner vs the total fiberglass in the Snoozy and others?
The ParkLiner is one very, very, attractive FG camper!

Hey Tim,
Are you by chance a real estate agent? It looks like you staged that ParkLiner to sell!
That is such a good looking home.

I like the bike racks! Among other things, it's a lovely trailer. I've had the thought a few times to talk to a welder about what options the back of the scamp would support.

Thanks for the kind words Lew, and yes it was staged for some pics. Christopher from Parkliner didn't get a chance to take some pics before this one left the factory, so he asked me to send him some.
Dylan, On my Scamp 13 deluxe that we had previous, I did add on a 2" receiver to carry some bikes. One thing you have to be careful of is adding too much weight to the rear and thus getting some sway. I didn't have any problem as I had two propane tanks + battery, so I had enough tongue weight. Some like Floyd have put bike racks on the tongue with excellent results.

A bike and rack are about all the weight I'd consider adding to the very rear of my scamp.
I do like the idea of 1 1/4 receiver, that's what I have on the car. So when not towing, the bike rack could go onto the car. But I worry that that type bike rack will stick the bike way out from the back adding lever action, multiplying the affect the weight.
Was that a standard factory option on the ParkLiner? That big rack isn't hooked up into a receiver on the Parkliner is it?

Dylan, Yes its a factory standard option. And the bike rack is new that I got on Ebay, it does stick out a bit but most bike racks do. I like this one as it keeps two bikes apart, and from getting damaged. My last bike rack wasn't far enough apart from each bike, and the bikes rubbed against each other. A lot of bike racks are made to fit both 11/4" and 2" receivers. The last one I had could do that. The only thing I don't like about carrying bikes on the rear is it blocks your taillights a bit and you have to watch the weight.

I think your pictures will certainly help them sell some more trailers, it looks great.

I was very interested in the Parkliner when we were looking for a travel trailer. Only problem for me was, it's so new, you can't find a used one and the new one was out of my price range. I had plans to wait a few years but FB fever took hold and we got our 13' Scamp. I love the Scamp but that queen size bed is pretty appealing.

I like this trailer a lot. It's going to take a pretty long time to amortize the effort put into the Burro rebuild, but Parkliner's definitely on my list (with the Bonair Oxygen) of next-bigger trailers when we think about that in, oh, 10 or 15 years or so.

Hey Tim,
Is that you and your wife sitting in the picture??? If it is, it's nice to finally see you. We communicated some over the years. I still have your revamp of the 13 couch into a dinette in my folder.
Regards,
