I understand that I may not find the perfect trailer for our needs and I should focus more on the positive side of things but there are few things that are hard to accept. One of those things is the...

I thought about this too. Escape 21 is white as well after all. But there's much more wood in the 21 that we don't mind some white in the trailer. When we look at the Oliver, we feel we are inside a...

I agree that on paper, Big Foots are more suitable on my needs except:

- Its wide and tall. Its frontal area is much bigger than the other two and consequently mileage suffers. Its not the end of...

Is it possible to order an Oliver with a different interior color?

We really like the Oliver but with 2 BIG negatives (for us). One is the interior color - my DW hates the shiny white walls everywhere. She likes the more natural colors, something closer to the...

Cool. So that means dry weight is an important number, and it includes the weight of the attached furnitures which I assume, are relatively heavy. I only need to worry about optional items which...

Hmm, here's another example:

Bigfoot 25B175FB also looks interesting. But it has the dry weight of 2895lb which is roughly the same as Rockwood, heavier than Escape 19 by 385lb. But Bigfoot...

I could be wrong, but from what I read, I'm supposed to ignore the dry weight and assume the worst - I will end up loading the trailer to the GCWR... Would this be the right approach?
