I found an update, as I had not looked past the Spitfire example.

Not FAA approved I assume, but it's going to make a great parade float or something like that.

Back to the TrailManor.

Quote:
Once the bottom latches are released, torsion springs help lift the front section into position. Repeat the process for the rear section, then pull the king-size bed into place from underneath. After the door and frame are assembled, a conveniently located switch just inside deploys the front slideout. Exterior foot stirrups assist with the closing procedure.
I'm wondering if TrailManor has gone though several generations of improvements over the years, or if they all work exactly the same.

Quote:
Because the TrailManor’s top halves close over the bottom half, there has to be a way to create a seal from the weather once the trailer is fully open and the halves no longer overlap. TrailManor’s solution is to fit the trailer with insulated flaps that fasten with hook-and-loop material. Leave the flaps unfastened, and the breeze is free to circulate throughout the trailer. In this way, TrailManor has effectively provided users with a way to enjoy the most positive aspect of tent-trailer camping — without the cloth walls.
