1998 Wilderness

We Start with a Vision...


Our vision is one of affordability, dependability, relaxation and comfort, all working together to create a satisfying travel experience for you and yours. So, we built Wilderness - Designed from the chassis up to satisfy our vision... and your expectations.

Comfort in a trailer comes from being able to sit back after a long day and feel like you're at home. Everything, from seating to storage to appliances, is situated for your leisurely comfort, just like a home - no stretching to reach a cabinet, no twisting your back to get comfortable in a chair, no crouching down to avoid overhangs. Our enhanced ergonomics mean better comfort and faster relaxation for you.

The wood-grained cabinetry is as rich as you'll find anywhere. The dinette is a diner's delight with solid seating, decorator touches and a clean, laminated top. Throughout Wilderness, you'll enjoy the selection of fine fabrics and available options - all offered as proof that as a vision, Wilderness is as easy on the eyes as it is on the checkbook.

Enjoying the great outdoors begins with a great exterior
There's more to Wilderness than simply good looks. Solidly constructed and thickly insulated walls fend off unwanted sounds and chilly temperatures.

The hands-free luggage door latches let you stop using your head to hold open compartments. Some things, like dirt, are better left outdoors and can be with the convenient optional exterior shower, and Wilderness takes the guess work out of leveling with permanently screw-attached levelers (optional on selected models).

The Importance of Storage
It's amazing how valuable storage space becomes when you're leaving on a trip. With Wilderness, no longer will you have to make those tough decisions as to what to take and what to leave. Every storage area is maximized for space, practicality and access. What's more, every Wilderness model allows more cargo weight than its closest competitor. There's plenty of drawers so you won't have to leave the pots and pans behind.

 

There's nothing confining about life in a Wilderness, either. The Dura-Glide™ Slide Out expands your living space by electrically extending steel rails which support a movable section of the interior. The process is quick, effortless. Once you have a slide out, you'll wonder how you ever got along without one.

 

 

The Value of Construction

The real value of Wilderness is in the details - how it's built. For example, we use all wood flooring, covered by a thick layer of linoleum, making it highly moisture-resistant.

Wilderness has optional radiused corner entry doors to boost structural strength in key stress areas. Even the doorways are reinforced with added strength to give you that solid feeling and solid protection.

The walls are thickly insulated, bonded to an inner structure of kiln-dried Douglas fir studs. The exterior metal finish is the exclusive Krystal Kote® for defense against the elements and time. Wilderness rests on a custom designed, steel channel, cambered chassis, not a standard framework bought elsewhere and modified. The extra rigidity required by slide-out options is provided by advanced chassis construction incorporating solid steel I-beams which have a corrugated center for greater increased strength.

Go outside and look up. There you'll find a one-piece seamless roof covering a continuously tapered roof truss system. Again, this attention to details during construction provides better water run off, reduced heat and less noise.

The fact is that Wilderness has a history of maintaining it's retail value. The only way any vehicle or trailer can retain much of its initial value is through quality construction. In other words, years from now, your Wilderness will be worth more than any other comparable trailer, simply because it was built to last.
