Question about Aerolite Travel Trailers

[CavemanCharlie]

Does anyone have any experience / opinions about Aerolite campers ?? There is one for sale near me that would fill my needs and be a nice replacement for the one I have now. Anyone here ever have one ?

Does it have the rubber roof ? It looks in the pictures like it probably does.

I agree, way overpriced. Around half of what they're asking would be a good starting point.

Book on that TT in my area is about 5000.But, book is always low locally as opposed to what they actually bring.

The asking price is seldom the eventual selling price. I know dealers always seem to list used units well above book value. Question is what they are really getting.

Hello all, just joined today and was pleased to find a very recent post here that discusses the Aero as I just bought a used 1997 21RB this week. The main issue with it, and not a small one, is that the floor needs replacing and I have started removing the old flooring today. I paid $1800 CAN.

I will watch it for awhile and see if it sells. I bet it will not move quickly. In a few weeks I will offer 6 cash out the door and see what they say.

It appears as though the fresh water tank is in the back. That is kinda a bummer if it is. I always carry my fresh water with me and I would rather have it up front then at the back.

That dealer is about 70 miles from me so I don't know when I can get the time off of work to go check it out anyway.

We have a 2010 18ft Aerolite Zoom with tandem axles which we love. I really like the windows in the TT you are looking at. It should be airy with lots of light. The only thing I didn't care for was the front couch instead of a bed. If I were looking for a trailer I would closely inspect it and if it seemed good and solid, I would try to get the price down but I don't think the price is really that high. Our little Zoom is small but with just my wife and I we are cozy.

Thank you for your response. I am OK with the front couch as a bed. That is what my TT has now and it works for me.

Actually, the one I'm looking at I will list below. In my opinion it is way, way, over priced. I know many of you like big TT's. The only reason I noticed this one is because it is what I like in a TT and it is close to my home.

The 174e model has 662 pounds for cargo which isn’t much and I’m not an expandable fan...the 174e and two more. Other than those models, seem ok.
