Quality of steel, workmanship, fit and finish. They are new to
This game with sled trailers. They will get it dialed in next.
Finally got the chance to sleep in my Trails West

Other than the poor heating, I'm fairly happy with my Trails West. There are some things that could be improved on and some things I'd change if I could but I guess most everything is that way.
I did order a larger furnace and plan to install it as soon as it arrives. I think it will greatly improve the heating problem.

What would Mike Holmes do?
This is meant as a tangent. Do it right.
Wouldn't it be great if somebody built a trailer with the intent of keeping it at 68F while the outside was -10F? AND if would have to do this for five days with the onboard fuel.
Use preformed 7'x8' sectional panels with all ducting and conduit installed. Trailer lengths would be in 8' lenghts depending on number of sleds to hauled.
Rolll up insulated door to isolate 1/2 of the trailer if desired.
Option the repair/occupied half and partitioned half with radiant heating for use when shore power is available.
It should be a gooseneck to provide easy hook up and best towing profile . Then finish it with axles-less independent suspension like the GMC motorhomes used to keep it low.
Sounds like a unit The Foose, Mike Holmes, and Airstream should build.
What else?

How much of the trailer are you using to sleep in? Maybe you could put up a curtain to divide the in used part off?

Did you end putting a larger 35 or 40k furnace in? I’d really like to have heat towards the rear of the trailer in mine. A couple powered ceiling vents could be cool too.
