Hello All....We are considering the purchase of a new 13 ft Outback from Team Trillium Manufacturing

Hello All....We are considering the purchase of a new 13 ft Outback from Team Trillium Manufacturing in Calgary Alberta. Without water, holiday inn sunspree resort room rates grub etc. the basic weight with an awning is about 1425 pounds. The weight and specs are well within Forrester specs we will order the trailer with brakes . Main concern is whether the Forrester, 2.5 ltr, will be able to do the job. We live in hill country holiday inn sunspree resort room rates so there will be lots of ups and downs.
I just completed a trip to the west coast with my 97 Subaru Forester 2.0 litre pulling my Surfside 14, which weighs at least 1600 pounds dry. There were few times that steep hills slowed us under the speed limit. I am a flat-lander, but I was very happy with the performance. Newer Foresters have larger engines, so it should be just fine.
Did Ottawa holiday inn sunspree resort room rates to Colorado last summer 9,000km and Ottawa to Newfoundland this summer 5,000km. Weight specs would be very similar to you Trillium holiday inn sunspree resort room rates Outback. We had no trouble on either trip. The trailer doesn t overpower the car (push it around), and with electric brakes you can slow the whole train down fairly reasonably. You want to carefully plan a pass however holiday inn sunspree resort room rates as there isn t a lot of instant acceleration. Mileage (not outstanding to begin with) is brought way down - especially if you go faster than 100-110kph. But I would say it is a fine tow car for this class even if sometimes I d like to have another litre at my right foot.

We have an 01 Forester,2.5 litre with which we tow our 73 Trillium 1300; no electric brakes, but that was not by choice...that s how we bought it 2 yrs ago.There s adequate power towing, and adequate stopping power, if you are cautious and plan ahead for impending traffic lights ,etc
On a camping trip to a Prov Park near Parry Sound last Fall , about 450 km round trip, we managed a calculated 25 mpg ...not too shabby, considering the hilly terrain encountered; normal hwy mileage is around 32-36 mpg
I love it. I plan to tow my 77 Surfside with my 05 Honda Element. I d love to find a Fiberglass RV called the Element or better yet, I am dreaming of starting my own 14 foot trailer company - obviously call them the Element Eggs. 14 feet, basic kitchen, no bathroom (is it really necessary? you can always use a port-a-potti) and a few other nice touches.
I think the key would be to keep it under 1500 lbs dry weight and tall enough for most people to stand in. AND without forgetting to keep the price low enough for people to afford it. Seriously less then 10 grand. More like the $5000 range. Wonder if it could be done?

I think the weight is reasonable with basic equipment. The cost , on the other hand, seems unlikely; a well-constructed cargo trailer of that size with a moulded fiberglass shell (e.g. the Shuttle 2000-S6 strike 14 /strike 12 ) is most of that price, with no interior at all. Nice thought, though...
Edit note: The equivalent cargo trailer would be a 12-foot model, as measured holiday inn sunspree resort room rates by body length, to match a 14-foot (coupler-to-bumper) travel trailer. The Shuttle 200-S6 is a single-axle holiday inn sunspree resort room rates trailer with a 6-foot wide body, a bit narrower than the typical holiday inn sunspree resort room rates 6 8 wide narrow-body egg.

Another nice thought, but that Shuttle has been around for quite a while (a decade or more?) and the moulds for most of our eggs are used for decades, passed along from company to company. It just costs a lot to build stuff, especially in low volume production and with expensive materials.
By the way, the Trailers Unlimited makes all lengths of Shuttle shell in the same mould, laying in the fiberglass only as far as required and trimming the end to the desired length before fitting the shell to a rear opening frame and adding the doors (remember, this is a cargo trailer). That s making good use of one mould (per width).They even make extra-long shells by moulding holiday inn sunspree resort room rates more of the straight section - presumably in that same mould again - and splicing it on to the back.
