I'm torn on pursuing this camplite because I'd prefer a toyhauler.  But no one makes a 7' wide narrow track toyhauler.   

VRV does, so did ATC so you would have to find one used, and HW motorhomes has a Livinlite 615 in stock, just have to look around to find one.

Yes, VRV and ATC make 7' wide toyhaulers, but they use fenders outside the box making the trailer just as wide as a 8.5' wide.    Crappy design IMO but much easier/cheaper to build..

I want a 7' wide "narrow track" trailer with wheel wells inside it making the entire rig no wider than 7'

Like this one..

in my view I would I that before I would by anything else new except mabye the new intech which would definitely be  a lot more....they are practically bulletproof

Thanks, I see you own one..  Intech's are nice, but to wide and I don't want fenders.   I want the narrow track (7' & wheel wells) the camplite offers.  Then Id be tempted to hack a ramp door on the back which would require a model that had the bed in the back unlike a 16DB

A 2013 Camplite 16 could go swimming and the basic trailer would be fine. Of course the appliances would have to be recycled. 

Thanks, and that's what I wanted to hear..  No delamination if soaked..  But why did they install windows behind awnings?

I'm torn on pursuing this camplite because I'd prefer a toyhauler.  But no one makes a 7' wide narrow track toyhauler.    The size of the 16DB is perfect for me, as the axle wheel spacing is the same width of my full size truck.

Is $14k a steep asking price for a clean two owner 2013 16DB?

Thanks

Hello everyone, new here.

A Camplite came up on my to buy radar, and I'm wondering how a 2013 Livin Lite's 16' camper walls and roof were constructed.   I see they are vacuum bonded meaning glued like everyone else, but what kind of glue? Indissoluble glue, or water soluble?   Because I'm reading the wide spread delamination blister issue is caused by everyone using luan and epa mandated water soluble glue..  Among other factors like paper thin fiberglass exterior etc etc.  Translated to.. "cheap"

I know camplite's exterior were still aluminum before 2016, but anyone know how thick?    Some may say "just don't let it get wet"..  But IMO, it's not a matter of if a trailer leaks, but matter of when. 

Thanks
