The closest trailer Winnebago would have to our trailer is the Minnie Drop and that is still 1000# heavier (dry weight) and 7ft longer. The FL-14 is under 1700# and only 14ft long (hitch to bumper). We are minimalists and this gives us all we want in a tiny package. Just like any camper, there may be issues when you 1st get it. In the past people had issues with Travel Lite’s customer service, but they are under new ownership and things seem to be MUCH better. We love our trailer!

It is pretty simple. The poles under the table come out, the table top comes down and goes between the 2 bench areas. You then slide the cushions down to form the mattress. It is about the width of a full size bed, but shorter. I am 5'11" and can lay across the bed just fine. If you are over 6' you may need to sleep at an angle or look for something larger.
