Grand Surveyor Style
Grand SurveyorFeaturing a large, 29-cubic-foot, pass-through storage area, this trailer presents plenty of space for all the extra camping gear and supplies you’ll need. Light for its size, the 30-foot, eight-inch Grand Surveyor GS280 by Forest River has a dry weight of 5,058 pounds.

An enclosed, heated underbelly makes the Surveyor more aerodynamic, and better to occupy in sub-freezing temperatures. Framed cabinetry and furniture is made from benac, a knot-free hardwood that’s 30 percent lighter than pine. Two-inch walls with block foam insulation are about half an inch thicker than some models, providing improved durability.

“Grand Surveyor interiors make your travels homey, with a large galley, 12-volt stereo/CD player, and plush durable furniture.” – Forest River

Trail-Lite Ease
Travel-LiteWelcoming you with its clean-looking, wood-finished interior, R-Vision’s 29-foot, eight-inch Trail-Lite 8309S makes for comfort on the road. Using banak instead of pine to frame cabinets, the unit is lighter, and eliminates the appearance of most finish knots.

An enclosed undercarriage improves air flow beneath, boosting fuel efficiency, and reducing drag. A solid, one-piece steel chassis that’s welded rather than bolted makes for a tough construction. Interior height is a spacious 78 inches, and the dry weight is just shy of 5,000 pounds, making hauling easy.

Standard on this model is a: laminated galley top with a double, stainless sink; three-burner range top; neo-angle, glass shower; well-placed refrigerator; and Euro-style faucet.

“Trail-Lite uses modern race car technology to bring you towing ease and stability.” – R-Vision
