Soon to be owner of a brand new Mini Lite 2515S

[JoeCO]

I joined this site in Aug 2023 and have been researching, thinking, hemming and hawing well before that. After a long process we just agreed to finally buy a Mini Lite 2515S! We put the down payment today and it should be here in however long it takes them to build a new one.

We are looking forward to taking delivery and camping in our new trailer. We have a small Coleman 16" now so this will certainly be an upgrade.

Enjoy we love ours. You could not find one avab now than wait on it? We bought our 2025 and towed it home that day.

We ordered because we got the sleeper sofa over the theater seats and all the inventory had the latter. We really need the extra sleeping capacity from time to time so thought this was a good option. Theater seats would be great for my wife and I but those pesky family members...!!

Yea I don't see many with the sleeper sofa out there. We take the grand kids alot but that's it. They sleep on the table bed.

Our daughter and 3 year old grandson live with us and the sofa gives us extra room for my mom, a friend or our out of town daughter, etc.

We got the second solar panel and elec stabilizer jacks. I’m going with two deep cycle batteries for now and will likely go Li next season or so. Anything else I should have considered based on your experience with this model?

We did get the fit to ride magnet front window protector. They do give Military discounts just ask. I also have the RV Electronic lock it's nice but not sure if the quality is there. I would buy a different brand if did it over.

If you need heat there are some cool portable fireplace heaters that plug in.

We also have the Electric Stabilizers and slide toppers. I will add more solar down the road. I would rather do that myself.

Fit to Ride Front Window Protector and RV Lock

So I got an Fit to Ride Magnet Style front window protector. Seems pretty good. I painted the magnets because they would look ugly chrome and sticking out like a sore thumb. You can see they blend in very well now. I got the Fit To Ride because I emailed all of them asking questions and also...

RV Lock Stains Door

We traded a camper and removed our RVLock and it really stained the door bad. I don't want to install the lock on new camper until I put something maybe a vinyl sticker to prevent doing this again to the new camper. FYI the Keyless RVLock was not installed very long either maybe 6 months tops...

We got the second solar panel and "elec stabilizer jacks"

We also have the "Electric Stabilizers" and slide toppers.

I do not know what the added cost is but they sure are nice. They should just make them standard equipment and adjust the price. I have never felt any sway with them that people mention, except on move day when I pull them up before bringing my slides in.

Been in a couple of sites though where the front stabs are almost touching the ground due to the slope of the site. The one that really comes to mind though was a no pad site just water and electric posts scattered around natural turf. Not the stabs causing it but the drop down frame design.

Welcome. We're going into our second season with our 2515s. We really like it. It's just the wife and me so we went with the recliners. This is our fourth RV and hopefully final one. It checked all the boxes for us, two seating areas, separate bedroom, and easy to tow. I did numerous upgrades including shelving in the slide out wardrobe, lithium battery, new showerhead, digital thermostat, among others. And unfortunately, numerous fixes/repairs. But the layout is perfect for our use. Cheers.

I’m officially part of the club! We picked up the Mini Lite 2515S yesterday. So ~2 months from down payment to delivery. Glad I pulled the trigger when I did because the web site has that model listed for about $5k more now.

Just going through the process of organizing and renewing/upgrading all of our stuff from the previous trailer, adding cameras, figuring out how things work, etc.

Looking forward to many planned trips this summer/fall!
