Kustom Koach Legacy 5'ers

[Trap]

Wife and I saw a Legacy LW328 At the Calgary RV Show. (Similar shape and design as the Titaniums) was wondering if any of you have any knowledge or information about these units. They appear to be very well made and are real nice, although a little pricey.

I think we saw the Legacy too, but there were so many trailers, et al at that show we were a little overwhelmed even though we spend 7 hours there!

FYI, we have a Titanium (25E31DS) and love it! They are an awesome trailer and built for colder weather.

Cheers,

On the website it almost looks like the Legacys are exact duplicates of the Titaniums, even down to the floorplans.

Apparently Their is some involvement between Kustom Koach, Travelaire, and Glendale, They have the patent on this design of 5'ers. They do claim that with this design you should see increase of up to 15% Towing milage. They are also built for the cooler climate we have up here in Alberta. The wife and I are wanting something to extend the camping season and to be able to be comfortable at the same time.

Well, I haven't met a Titanium owner yet that doesn't like it, if that helps. BTW, there is a Titanium owners forum http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/glendale_titanium/ where you can get firsthand info. I would have bought one myself but wifey liked the Alpenlite better.

Okay, I think I've got it sorted out. All three have Canadian origins. Kustom Koach started in BC, Travelaire in Alberta and Glendale in Ontario. In 1985, Travelaire bought Kustom Koach and in 1988 Glendale bought Travelaire. That's why the patented design is shared.

Yes, Glendale went down in 2010. But, Heartland RV bought all the intellectual rights for the Titanium from Glendale. They will be making the Titanium in the Bighorn line, and they're toyhauler line. Its not a stand alone brand but infused in they're existing brands. So they are again available.

hi bruce in florida the kustomkoach legacy was first built in british columbia then sold to tarvilleaire in red deer finally to glendall where it ended 4 now because of cheaper quality not to say that they were not any good just saying they were the bottom of the line then for the cabovers hopefully heartland will bring them up again to the original quality the original kustomkoacy was only sold to travelaire be cause the original owner sold due to health and wanted his legacy.i have never heard even one complaint about the kustomkoach but glendale is a completelly different story went down very quickly check it out  not tring to hurt ur feelings  but.
