Good to see them actually making a trailer, I wasn't sure they were going to get there. Technically it's a WL (Warrior Lifestyle) and not a WW. I like the looks personally...

Only the small trailers so far, it will be interesting to see how far they take the line. The GVWR on the biggest one tops out at 8000, easily towable by a number of 1/2 ton trucks. And now for my pet peeve, what the heck do you do when you have 100gal fresh but only 35 grey and 35 black? Regardless of how I actually feel about dumping grey it's not legal in any state park.


Don't take life too seriously, it's not permanent.

Wash the bikes down after mud riding, spray down the dust around the campsite, rinse the boots and riding gear with the outdoor shower, wash black streaks off before the neighbors show up, wash my truck ....think I better stop now, I'm running out of water....

Me too.

Ironically the "new" 2011 23/25 footer(wish they would break that old bad habit of being 2 years in the "future") is an exact layout copy of the 2006 Fleetwood Nitrous I used to have.

I do see some small signs of thinking more like the large RV manufacturers. If you notice below the microwave in the interior pic below there appears to be a "modern" combined 110V and 12V distro panel (IOTA or WFCO) that most larger compaines have been using for years. That is a step forward from the "old school" way they have done 110V and 12V panels in the past.



I also wonder if they are going to stay with "stick built" walls or move on to aluminum/styrofoam bonded sidewall construction. I would imagine with small prodcution runs they will stick with the wood for now, at least this does make it easier for custom options, length additions, etc..

I am a little dissapointed in the design so far (afterall it is really a coesmeticly updated 07 model, but I do understand they are using what they have on hand to get going again (BTDT). Hopefully if they sell some units and make some money it will give them the chance to get creative with designs again.

I would like to see more modern looking (and functional) enclosed sides and undercarriages like the new Open Range Toy Hauler and other similar forward thinking ideas.

I am encouraged by the new "Mega-Dinette Option" (will be more impressed when I see it actually exists), that does at least show someone is trying to be forward thinking. If it works the way I imagine it to work, it will be very cool, especially in this size Toy Hauler.



All in all I wish them the best of luck and hope they become successful again.

Don't forget washing the dog.

I have never understood the same old complaint about the water to Grey/Black tank ratio in Toy Haulers. I use a lot of water outside, and actually prefer to take my showers outside too.

If anything needs to be changed I think a better ratio between grey and black tanks would make more sense. I would prefer a 40 black, 60 grey setup, or even a 30/70. I don't ever recall filling up my black tank in any RV I have owned... and my wife goes to the bathroom a million times a day :-)

But as usual no single design or layout is going to fit everyone's individual habits and make everyone happy.

I'll be honest, if I had the money.. I might go buy one of these! The layout is perfect for us and it's one of the last (or new companies) to make 96 inch wide Super Lites..

That makes it even more dated design-wise, they gotta do something new and exciting if they want to get (back) market share.

I do like the black upholstery with the natural finish cabinets, nice clean look.
