My 2506S

[Tigger1]

Welcome from Maryland and congratulations on your new Mini Lite!

[stlramper]

Welcome from the greater St. Louis area and you have a beautiful rig! Enjoy mini mini camping experiences with it!

That is a nice looking trailer. We have our eyes on that model also - can't wait to check one out in person.

Have fun with it !!

The outdoor storage on that one seems limited to me. But what do you think? This is the one with that pullout tray that comes out the back of the trailer, correct?

[K7TNT]

Yes and we have lots of storage. This is are first TT and it is all good. We love it.

This is the trailer we want to downsize to, the rear bedroom is what sold it for us. Just wanting some real world experience feedback from people that use it.

Any downsides? We all know there are those little WTF things missing with any trailer

[Mad Cow]

Lot's of folks fail to comprehend that the rear bedroom is a cool deal, especially in typical hook up camp grounds. All of the foot and vehicle traffic is going by the front of the trailer typically. By having a rear bedroom, one can rest in a little more quiet. For me, outside storage is really a minor. But then, I am using a 3/4 ton pickup with a topper on it, so even with a trailer hooked up I still have oodles of payload left to haul stuff in the bed. Just depends on what setup someone has.

I agree. We just traded a 23IKSS on a Shamrock 25FKS which the twin of the 2506S. The rear bedroom was what sold us on it. The outside kitchen and roof ladder were also big pluses.

To too it off the kitchen is spacious with a ton of cabinets.

Our current and one before this had rear bedrooms, but not really a room, just a bed. A Roo and and Outback, where the bed slides out the back. Not exactly the same, since its not a "room"

Saying that, that is why when we saw this layout, this is what sold us to upgrade (eventually) We never even thought this kind of idea seeing trailers all these years.

As for outside storage, we wont be losing much, if any compared to our current outback, which only had outside two storage compartments now. So really we will probably gain outside storage if anything.

Outside kitchen is way better than what we currently have, which is a flip down kitchen. It works, but not very handy, and a pain to put back in every time in case of rain.

Either or, after looking at the pros and cons, this has way to many pros to us to not be our next trailer.

Looks good....enjoy it !

I'm more interested in your truck. I bought the 2016 V6. I only tow my motorcycle trailer. How do you like that little diesel?

[Terri846]

We purchased a 2016 2506s. Loved the bedroom, but when we had another couple stay with us, there was no where to sit. They slept on the dinette bed, I couldn't sleep that night but there was no couch to sit on. I think it's strictly a couples camper. We traded it for a bigger trailer.

Do you know if it can be ordered with either the couch or theatre seating in place of the dinette? Also, is there any closet/hanging space besides those bedroom wardrobes? Tks

[Mad Cow]

When I finally pull the trigger on one, it will be spec’d with theatre seats

We love this little diesel. This set up with the 2506S is perfect. Good MPG, on the trip to pick up the Camper I got 37.5 mpg doing 65mph in Minnesota. I get 12mpg average pulling the camper. I pull a 8% grade loaded at 47 mph up in the Bighorn's to go camping here in Wyoming and the engine brake works good on the way down. I set the speed at 43mph and never touch the pick up brakes off the hill. I'm loving the diesel.

I think you can order one with a couch. I'm not a fan of the u dinette. The cushions move when you sleep on it.

I ordered mine last week with the theater seating its just me and the wife and 2 pugs I also went with the 15BTU AC said it will take 8 to 12 weeks to come in

[Jay2504]

ChefRob, did you order a 2506s? Thanks Jay

[ChefRob]

Yes
