What’s Under the Time Out Camper?

Question: Dale, I’m just wondering, what kind of frame is under the Time Out Camper? Is it all metal or is it partially composit or something else all together? I have not been able to determine this from any of the brochures or web sites that I have visited. Thank You. Dan C.

Answer: Dan, I’ve spent some time under there on my Time Out. It’s a powdercoated steel box frame. I know this because one of the first times I towed the camper, I forgot to tuck the front jackstands. When I got home, they caught on the front edge of my garage slab floor where the driveway has sunken. I twisted up the jackstands pretty badly, to the point that I had to replace them, but the frame was basically unharmed. It’s pretty tough.

If I can answer any other questions, or help you when it’s time to order, please let me know. I really enjoy my TO. I’ve camped with others, including the Mini Mate, which I also like a lot. But the TO gives me a ton of room and I really like that l-shaped awning.

Got a question about trailering? Feel free to send it to dale@openroadoutfitters.com and I’ll try to answer as best I can. Thanks!
