I picked up a used Roll-A-Home camper trailer about a month ago. It is a little heavier 340 lbs(?). I think I got a good deal on it. It came with ALL the options including two entrance doors, slide out, add a room tent, awning, air conditioner with remote, etc. I even got a great deal on the guy's hitch and wiring harness(with islolator) for $125... He got rid of it because he moved up to a 32' class a motor home.
I have spent a lot of time in a tent and having an elavated hard floor in the "dressing" area was a big deal for me. It is a quick setup and takedown.
You will notice in my pictures that the tongue is too high. I used the elevated receiver that the guy I bought it from was using not realizing he had lowered his bike. I put the original receiver in and it is now level. Just havn't posted a pic yet.
Go to the bottom of the pictures and you can see all the storage room it has. The air coditioner is in there with the add a room and awning.
Check out my pics of it here.

Outstanding HDF Member
had a time out and really liked it ,pulled great and has a huge screened in room , could put my bike inside if the weather was bad and still had room for 6-8 peaple to set in the room , easy to set up but not as quick as they claim, I think they say like 2-3 min but I think that is empty , any way a great camper for that kind of camping but I like my 28ft toy box better

I've been using a Kwik Kamp for a few years now. Probably logged close to 10,000 miles on it. They're not made anymore, but a good used one runs between 1500-2500. Only problem I've encountered is with the torsion suspension. Replacements are available though.
Plenty of room for me and the wife.

I found this on a message board when I was looking for a camp trailer, kind of interesting
David, I'm also planning on getting a camper for my Goldwing. I've been doing alot of research and asking owners of different types of campers at the Rallies I've been attending. I've found out that MOST camper owners are very "PRO" whatever brand model they own.
Timeout owners will tell you that they like theirs because everything if "off the ground."
To that I say .... BIG DEAL!!! Be careful NOT to be in a LOW LYING AREA, when choosing your campsite and that should ELIMINATE any water problems. Also, look at what you have to give-up to keep your feet 6" or so, off the ground!!!
(1)VERY LITTLE "ON THE ROAD STORAGE" to NONE ONCE SET-UP!!!
(2)Five times, or more, the time and labor to "set-up or take-down"!!!
(3)LESS "LIVING SPACE" and SMALLER BED SIZE!!
Sorry, Timeout owners, I just can't see the big ADVANTAGE ...... BUT ......... the DISADVANTAGES ARE OBVIOUS!
The "Aspen Classic" is a great little camper but I REFUSE to buy one! Mainly because the guy who owns the company, "COPIED" the design from the "Bunkhouse". He was a FORMER EMPLOYEE of Bunkhouse, and I don't want to encourage that kind of "theivery", for a lack of better words.
Here is a list of things I think ANYONE should REALLY CONSIDER when shopping for a camper:
(1) How long does "set-up" take? Remember the rainy set-ups?
(2) When setting-up in the rain ........... Does your bedding and "stuff" get EXPOSED to the rain? A SOGGY sleeping bag or mattress is NOT PLEASANT!
(3)Storage capacity AND ACCESSIBILITY. When on the road? ....... Can you EASILY ACCESS your storage area? When set-up? ......... DITTO? Cooler Access from inside? Where do you put all the "STUFF" you need for camping?
(4)How much does the unit WEIGH? BEWARE HERE .... Leisurelite is DECEPTIVE, to say the least, on the weight they SAY their unit weighs, as are many other Manufacturers!!!
(5)A good Suspension system will AFFECT the "LIFESPAN" of the camper. In my opinion, INDEPENDENT TORSION SPRING SUSPENSION IS BEST!
(6) What kind of "OPTIONS" are available to ADD to the basic unit: ROOMS, A/C, Cooler, lights, etc.
(7)QUALITY of workmanship AND materials.
(8)PRICE
MY PERSONAL OPINION? Of EVERY Camper Manufacturer I've seen so far: Timeout, Leisurelite, Qwik Kamp, Travelite, Kombi Kamp, Bunkhouse and a few others I can't remember the names of ........... BUNKHOUSE, BY FAR and HANDS DOWN, is the "BEST DEAL FOR YOUR HARD EARNED DOLLAR." When I BUY .......... IT WILL BE NOTHING SHORT OF A BUNKHOUSE! In my opinion ........ With 25 cubic feet of EASILY ACCESSIBLE STORAGE, A KING SIZE BED, LARGE DREESING/LIVING AREA ....... THE BUNKHOUSE HAS SET THE STANDARD that others are still TRYING to ACHIEVE!!!
