Although both models essentially consist of the same components, they are quite different. The Elite I model is a shorter (18’ 5"), single-axle trailer with a 5,000 lbs. GVWR. The Elite II model is a longer (23’ 6”) tandem-axle trailer with a 7,000 lbs. GVWR . The Elite II model comes in 2 different floor plans and the Elite I model comes in 1. One thing they definitely have in common is that they are both quality campers that are built to last a lifetime!
