Parkliner, any news?
It has been about a year since the new double hull version was announced as well as the move to dealerships. I'm curious how that's going. Anyone seen a 16' on the lot? Are they selling? Any members own one? Lots of questions. Raz

I'd like that also. I sold my 2012 Parkliner because of several features I didn't like. All but one minor complaint have been addressed and the latest model may be the best small FG trailer on the market now, if it actually is.

Parkliner
I took delivery of a 2018 Parkliner in early November 2017.
we love it. Took two short trips in it before cold set in.

There is a new one at Tom's Camperland in AZ. Looks good but the description appears to be the original 15' , like the web site. Lloyd, where did you get yours.

I'm pretty sure that's the new one, Raz. The lack of rat fur anywhere inside is a clue. It's all glossy gelcoat, a clue to the new double hull design. There was no real change in cabin size or layout.

Yep, a lot of nice changes since my 2012. Looks pretty nice.
Anyone know what the base price is now?

The pictures were not of good quality but the camper looks good. Well, except for the inexpensive sound system picture, but looks nice.

Oops... misunderstood your point. Thought you were saying it was "new old stock," as in a leftover single hull unit.
And, of course, I only looked at the pictures.

Could that be a dealer add-on? They love to pile on useless accessories to create negotiating room.

Looks like a sound system just below the awning. My first thought was more holes in the hull to leak. Then it t occurred to me, what happens if you get a leak with a double hull. At least there is no wood to rot in the floor.

I like the recessed taillights and the exterior hatch.
Not really not a fan of that table. The receptacle for the post blocks the suitcase storage if like us you leave the bed set up at all times.

Too Soon Old/Too Late Smart
Well, I guess we bought ours too soon,
The cargo door and new LP tank/battery cover look GOOD!
on our 2016 you can't uncover the battery with our removing the LP tanks.
Are the tail lights LEDs?
We do prefer the fabric interior. A gelcoat interior is too much like living inside a refrigerator.
Looks like they still don't have a backrests for the side dinette seats

Unfortunately, I agree. If I could get the new double hull design for $25,000 I probably would buy one. The base price is now in the low $30s.

Wow. That is more than well equipped Escape 21 costs in USD.

The Springfield Marine pneumatic pedestal is a nice touch. We love ours.
