Thanks PopRitchie for sharing the pics - That looks identical to my Towlite - excpet I usually have red dirt on mine. It looks like a wonderful trip.

It's a 9521T Hi-Lo. It was a very wonderful trip, something that I always wanted to do. It has had some of your red dirt on it also.

Thanks - my info plate was warn out so I was never quite sure of the model number. It is the right size for the 2 of us and I have been impressed with how well they are made. Did you get a lot of dust up inside? That has been an issue for us going down dirt or sandy roads.

The actual model number if the lounge,bed is in the front is-- 215TL. If the dinette is in the front the model number is-- 215TD. There were two 21 ft Tow Lites in 1995.
Yes, we also got some dust. There is 2 to 3 inch gaps in the plastic strip at the bottom where the top seal contacts, they are at the sides of the glide rails. Your seal may be bad also. When traveling on dusty roads be sure the top vents are closed, if open they create a draft that will help suck the dust in.
We still have the 95 but also have a 2209 and it gets some dust inside also.

Couch In the front - thanks. I hadn't thought of the vent drawing the dirt in. After this little trip below we stopped at a hardware store and bought the biggest foam pipe insulations tubes and placed them under the curtain holders next to the walls. It kept it most of the wind and some of the dust out. I cut a section to fit the door and wedge it in when we go to bed.

We're planning an Alaska trip in 2012. Wifey and I can't agree on the time frame to allow for the trip. How many weeks are needed to offer an "adequate" tour of the sites?

No matter how much time you are able to be gone it will not be enough to see everything. We were in Canada and Alaska for aprox 7 1/2 weeks. The whole trip 9 1/2 weeks. Will go again and spend most of the summer there. Can help you with advice and preparations if you would like. If you would like to talk let me know and will email my phone #. We had planned to go back in 2012 but will put it off till 2013.

Our seal is bad and we don't seem to getdirt in while traveling down the road. We use grey foam tubing stuffed on the outside under the top half while at camp. Cheap insulation. We are slowly working on our 90 restoration. Maybe we will replace the seal in the spring if time permits.

I use the foam too - I have had less trouble since then and have taken 2 tubes and interlocked them to form a wider seal on the worst of it.
