Frequently asked
How many adults realistically fit the Adventurer 89RB?
Two adults comfortably in the north/south queen. The dinette sleeper at 40 x 76 in handles one adult or two small children short-term.
Why slide-free over slide-equipped trailers?
Slide-free eliminates the slide-out's leak/motor/seal failure points. For truck campers especially, slide-free is the more reliable long-term choice.
Both four-season?
Only the Adventurer 89RB has listed four-season insulation. The Hike 100 H172BH is not four-season; winter use requires tank heaters and skirting retrofits.
