Angelina and Brad no longer need their trailer. This thing has been so much fun we are really reluctant to let it go, but we’re moving out of the country so it has to go. It’s a classic, with a stylish aerodynamic shape. As is always the way, I just get everything repaired or replaced and then decide to move on. New or recently replaced: Queen size bed – cleverly configured as king size – I’ll explain later. Air conditioner – with unique cold air shower. Refrigerator Microwave Water heater Awning Flooring Tires Wheel bearings Marine deep cycle 12v battery Anti sway bar 3 Cameras (rear and sides) Portable waste-water tank. Repaired: Walls Sub floor The tour: Through the door we enter the front living room with two comfy chairs. There was a bed settee in here originally. Moving aft, passing the new fridge freezer we pass through the kitchen area with a microwave, double sink, and plenty of cupboards and work surfaces. Above this area is the powerful new air conditioner with the unique cold air shower feature. To the right is the bathroom with another cupboard, a toilet, sink and bath with shower above. In the rear section of the trailer is a queen size bed which is cleverly configured to give the same space as a king size. Originally there were twin beds in here, but we like to be friendly. More cupboards above the bed, and plenty of storage underneath. Outside there are more storage lockers containing all the accessories needed for a comfortable trip. Including water hoses, electrical connections (30Aand 15A), and sewage connections. There’s also a handy wheeled, portable waste-water tank to enable emptying the main tank for extended stays. I’ll include the trailer hitch with anti sway bar and stabilizers. There are three cameras fitted at the rear and sides and an lcd screen for the tow vehicle to help reversing and give a view of the road when travelling. Black, grey and drinking water tanks are underneath. There’s a new 12v deep cycle battery, which powers the lights and a water pump. If I could keep it I’d shower it with more love and affection, but it’s basically a very sound well-maintained trailer with lots of character. These Award trailers were made in Canada in 1993 and were well ahead of their time. There’s a bit of a cult following and a Yahoo user group (of course). Weighing in at a dry weight of 3830lbs it can easily be towed by most SUVs and trucks. I use a Kia Sorrento, which easily pulls it along. Award offers 4 important features to consider even before you step inside. Aerodynamic Styling Lightweight Design Towing Safety Fuel Efficient Award recreational vehicles are sold directly to the consumer from the manufacturing facility in Dunnville, Ontario. The Award line of travel trailers is truly a unique product within the recreational vehicle market place. Here are some of the reasons why. The Award is designed to accommodate two people who want an upscale product, to tour and discover the natural wonders of North America. The Award is the best full-sized towing travel trailer. Its sleek, luxury lightweight will give you road-handling qualities that you want and expect for safe and comfortable towing. No other travel trailer travels down the road with such confidence. The engineered aerodynamic shape of the Award is second to none. The inverted hull shape roof, the low center of gravity and the radiused front nose cone, all add up to a unique silhouette. This overall design reduces vacuum effect, minimizes drag, improves towing control and enhances fuel efficiency.
