Talking about big luxury travel trailers, this is one of the biggest made: it’s a WW5200. Weekend Warrior is a company we’ve talked about before, and they get a lot of press for building these stand-out huge trailers. The one you see in the photo, with that “W” paintjob across the side, is one parked at Glamis Dunes Storage, and was shown by “allcool,” who said GDS towed him in there without any problem, while bystanders watched amazed.
Here’s another Weekend Warrior travel trailer — luxury trailer size — but having a bit of an issue: seems the sand is getting a bit high around the tires there. Did he just park on the beach overnight, thinking it would be a nice place to sleep and wake up?
Weekend Warrior travel trailers are made in Indiana where the 50,000 sqare foot RV Factory company is based. They make Avion B class motorhomes, camper RVs, 5th wheels, and the eponymous Weekend Warrior RV toy haulers for which we mostly know them. Weekend Warrior’s Brian Shea, who worked his way up Gulf Stream Coach in the 90’s before founding the company, thinks of the RV company in terms of state manufacturing:
“I have been fortunate enough to have been part of one of the most successful manufacturing companies in Elkhart, Indiana,” stated Shea, “Since 1971 working with my father at Fairmont Homes and later at Gulf Stream Coach, I learned the importance of great looking product built with residential construction principles. ”
A big focus for the RV Factory is product details and value, but this is further focused from a starting point of each new customer for their luxury travel trailers and other products:
“There is a new mandate from the retail customer,” Shea explained “They want to have a close relationship with the people they buy from. This is evident when you consider the impact companies like Apple, Starbucks, Gap Jeans have made on the retail marketplace. These companies get to tell their own story in their own words to the retail customer. This is the most exciting part about the RV Factory.”
Over the years, they’ve made a name for themselves through their products:
“Our products are immediately recognizable by those familiar with the RV industry. It is our intent to offer great brands with the best and newest designs and construction in both the class b motorhome market and the towable RV market.”
Of course, not all Weekend Warrior trailers are 52 feet! Actually there are a few bigger. I saw a 53 footer recently. But the models featured by the company are the 4100W, 4250W, 3608W, and 4620W models, which are 44′, 44′, 37′ 10″, and 46′ feet long.
