Another new FG trailer

[routlaw]

Hate to say it but it looks like Oliver now has some serious competition. This thing is a true work of industrial art IMHO.

And for a complete walk through check this one out. So many things done right. They are above my pay grade but competitive to Oliver pricing, actually a bit less.

Saw this a while back and they hadn’t started shipping yet.  
 

The earlier video showed very rough cutouts in the cabinets ( no trim out) were as it was first prototype. 
 

See they went with Battleborn.

This is a nicely laid out trailer. I also noticed the Battleborn battery choice. 
Things I like:

• Nautilus water management.
• Kitchen layout
• Additional windows (although front windows might be susceptible to rock breakage?)
• Independent suspension option

Dislikes

• No pantry
• manual leveling jacks
  
  They are also planning a 29 foot model. Intriguing.

Nice insulated windows at delivery - but - being acrylic what are they going to look like later?

Interesting hitch - looks strong.

IMO the suspension is a no go.  Therefore, the ONLY way to go would be to spend the extra for the optional.

The window up top is not motorized.  Therefore, what happens when it rains?

Truma heating (and I assume hot water) - what happens when you need service?

propone storage is OK to nice with the fold out cover but less aero.

big sink, interior height, large fridge, ducted a/c, lower storage, 500 lb receiver hitch, 3,000 watt inverter, rear camera located below the rear marker lights - are all good.

what's the frame material?  What are the tires?  Shocks?  How are the hull built - how thick, what is the core material(s), what is the insulation (is there any?)?  What is the size of the bunks?  What's the warranty? What's the price?

Bottom line - nice to have what appears to be a reasonable competitor, but, at this point I still very much like my Oliver and the company that built it.

Wonder what that will weigh?

That is a great-looking camper. The enhanced layout space, windows, dry bath, and larger frig, will draw a lot of people in. We love our Oliver, but this is the first fiberglass competitor that would have been in the running.

They did mention that in the video above but I didn't write it down - as I recall, it was within the expected range and even a bit on the light side.

This video was also posted in January with a lot of similar comments.  I’m sure Oliver is looking at this as well for their own product improvement plans.
