Mini Lite, Micro Lite - Same thing?

Is there any difference between the Rockwood Mini Lite and the Flagstaff Micro Lite other than colors/fabric?

They seem to be identical from what I see so I assume they’re the same thing under different names.

Rockwood and Flagstaff are twin brands.
Nothing different except outside graphics and interior design.
Made on the same assembly line.

Thanks, I assumed that was the case, but haven’t seen a Micro Lite in person. We have a local Rockwood dealer.

More Rockwood dealers than Flagstaff, it seems.

Sure seems that way. We really want to see one of the new 2508 Mini Lites or 25LB Micro Lites, but it seems nobody has them yet. Hazards of shopping this time of year.

Dealers say, "We'll be glad to order it..." but don't seem to understand we really would want to see one in person first to get the feel.

I have the 25brds Flagstaff. Ordered it sight unseen. It was a gamble, but only one that had everything needed. Length and size bunks. Excellent trailer. Shipped from Indiana to Seattle. Would do it again.

Gutsy move! Glad it worked out. That’s the same as the Mini Lite 2509S and the one we really wanted, but when we ran the slide in, we couldn’t walk back to the bathroom. That’s one of our requirements, so we're looking at other options in the line.

We had a Rockwood Mini Lite 2503s. It had two doors, so we could always access the bathroom.

That is a great floorplan and if we didn't need two sleeping areas, it would be very high on the list.

We used the U-shaped dinette for our granddaughter when we had our mini-lite. I got tired of having to drop down the table and make the bed every night, but I really did like that trailer.
