The Adventure in Motion models are using Azdel and are using single 4400# axles. The 3 prototypes are close to 1,000# CCC. 12V fridge, on-demand WH, solar, 2" receiver for racks, and walk on roof are highlights. Honestly, they're not innovative, but GDs entry in the space that other manufacturers have a strong foothold in. Because they're in Meyer's section, I didn't stay to find out anticipated pricing. Supposedly there could be a rugged or trail version, depending on feedback.

1st thing I would do with that TT is change the tires out to BFG KO2's and add shocks. I've put shocks on two previous TT's and they make a big difference.
I will say though that the BH model with all that storage in the rear is asking for sway issues. GD should've moved the axle more rearwards but then they couldn't be attractive to low payload/TW vehicles.

It was written in the RV Business news maybe a month or so ago. If you feel like searching you'll find it

Thanks, Marcy. I do read RV Business but not this publication. May need to subscribe to it as well since RV Business did not cover the "small towables/small travel trailers" market segments. I think the general public will learn before too long about other market segments with products to be built as well.

According to RV Business there will be 4 new floorplans:
link removed
"The new, small travel trailer mentioned previously is the AIM – or Adventure In Motion series – that will be offered in 2023 with four floor plans ranging from 3,500 pounds to 4,100 pounds, said Lynn Bontrager, Imagine plant manager."
Can't wait to see what the forth floor plan looks like. This AIM line is more than just a me-too product in that it differentiates itself with some new offerings not found in the competition - notably a tankless water heater, a 2" accessory hitch, a modern solar package with new components, and a new 12V refrigerator - all of this with the traditional GD quality. The counter space and drawers are exceptional. Most smaller travel trailers are not 8' wide either. The Geo Pro, E Pro and No Boundaries are all competitors but the AIM line blows them away with space and amenities. For example, the 23 Geo Pro's and E Pro's don't have tankless water heater and their counter and drawer space is extremely limited. Also, the GD refrigerator is larger. The No Boundaries doesn't have a receiver hitch or outside shower.
However, after my glowing remarks above, I remain concerned about a single axle and would welcome additional details on the axle itself and if it can truly handle the loads. Also, I wonder if the 4th model, at 4100 lbs, is also a single axle model. I would think not.
Does anyone have additional insights?Last edited by traveldawg; 09-20-2022 at 03:20 PM. Reason: removed link and changed reference to article. New, unsponsoring, users limited to not including URLs until
