There’s a brand new line of four-season molded fiberglass travel trailers on the market, and we had a chance to see one at the Spring Fling New England Egg Rally 2024. This is where we met Kim Stillwell - a happy camper who purchased one of the first Cortes 17 trailers to roll off the assembly line (year model 2023). Join our tour to see how she made it her own with personalized and practical DIY mods.

This was a cool tour and she is very clever and resourceful. I like the basic quality and stability of the fiberglass trailers.

I love the idea of easily customizing it, I know she added more permanent changes, but even the suction cup stuff can go anywhere! Great little camper!

What a beautiful unit. I love the fact that it’s all fiberglass and no wood to rot. Thanks for sharing.

We own a 2018 Casita, but I’m super impressed by the videos I’ve seen on the Cortes, though I haven’t seen one in person. Not having a wood fiber floor or cabinets, the big 12 volt fridge, separate small eating area and the stove with an oven is fantastic. I’m jealous lol.

Hi Kim - Love your camper!!!! I love all the mods that you did! We have an Airstream Van and are looking for a trailer to tow behind. We will definitely look into this company. We live in southern NH. Wishing you all the best!

Very nice and functional! Please beware that a vehicle’s towing capacity isn’t just a factor of engine size or its horsepower. Many six cylinder vehicles have ZERO towing capacity. Vehicles that are designed for towing have specific suspensions, breaking systems, transmissions, cooling and electrical systems that can handle the additional loads and forces that towing a trailer requires. Just because you own a six cylinder car or plan to purchase an extremely light trailer doesn’t mean you can safely tow with that combination. Always check your owner’s manual and stay within the manufacturers limits for towing capacity, hitch weight and payload. Not only is it illegal, but your safety and those who share the road with you depend on you observing those limits.

Not true that V-6 have zero towing limit. Our Honda Pilot, the Toyota Highlander XLT and other midsize SUVs have a 5,000 lbs tow capacity. Most minivans with V-6 have 3,500 tow capacity.

@@dane9871 Those six cylinder vehicles (like many SUV’s and crossovers) were DESIGNED TO TOW. Not all six cylinder vehicles are. For instance there are many six cylinder sedans which are not.

@@dane9871 By the way I didn’t say that all six cylinders could not tow only that many can’t.
