Single axle 16 TBS ??

[drdave]

Just came home from the Allentown RV show. They had a dual axle 16TBS on display (2016 w.New cabinet wood doors)... so they are still out there for those who want to jump on them.  IIRC they are asking $27K.  

So... having 2 axles was part of the reason for the lighter tongue weight and better stability without sway control on my 16DB trailer.   This was a BIG part of my decision to go purchase my 16DB to tow with my midsize nissan frontier.  Looks like they may have negated that advantage against other brands.  Winnebago makes a "Micro-Mini-Winnie" in 3 floor plans if anyone is looking to stay with a shorter lighter trailer with 2 axles.  Winnebago also came out with a line of "Tab" type trailers...had one at the show also....just saying.....

$27K for a 16 is nuts. Only paid $27,900 for a 21BHS with XL package. What the heck is going on here.

Jump on it! It will be worth $30,000 late this spring.

I'd be curious to know what 15 inch tires LL is installing on the single axle 16TBS. I was looking around online today at new 15 inch trailer tires for my utility trailer and found most in the size I needed (205/75-15) were load range C. At the max 50 psi, they have a max load of 1820 lbs each.

Goodyear has a Marathon ST  D rated if you're willing to go 225 width.

etrailer.com has 41 in 225/75R15 with D rating.   They also have 3 with E rating.

Let's hope the D or E rated tires are what LL is installing on the 16TBS.

Come on Thor... update the pics/specs on the website already!

Got the call our 16' TBS was in today.  We stopped in for a quick look.  Found out they added a range hood with fan and light.  Sitting on the sofa our feet do not touch the floor.  Two steps to get in due to the off road package.

Thanks for the pics! I like the sink, countertop, range hood, and tires. Looks like adventures ahead for you.

Looks  very nice.  I wonder if you got the last metal roof?  Other than your feet hanging above the floor, was the couch  comfortable?  I wonder if a small 'box' can be placed by the bottom of the couch so that your feet can be on the floor.  I especially like the lack of decals. Hard to tell, but it looks like you got a water heater switch by the stovetop.     Congratulations; enjoy!

Got the call just before 4 pm and the dealer closed at 5 pm with a 20 minute drive we did not get much time to go into the details but we will take delivery in the next two weeks.

[font size="3"]The pictures still show two axles and the specs still say 5000# GVWR. You have to dig way down into the features to find the single axle reference. Well, we were all afraid of this when Thor bought LL. Can wood floors be far away?? The dual axle was one of the four reasons I upgraded from RPOD along with dry bath, bigger fridge and walk around bed. Guess I'll be suggesting Lance again to prospective buyers

Looked at a lance at the Louisville Boat and RV show.  Man is it a well made trailer! Had I found it instead of the Camplite; it would have been a serious contender. Heck if I ever want a truck camper I will be going with Lance.

I'll give a second thumbs up on Lance. Saw several at the Dallas RV Supersale this weekend. Unfortunately LivinLite didn't have a presence at the show.
