Our Thoughts
Trailer Length
Do not buy a bumper pull trailer this long until you understand trailer sway. Trailers over 30ft are tough and tiresome to control. You will need an anti-sway hitch and we recommend a long-bed truck. You may even want a dually. If you find you need a floorplan this large and intend to travel with it regularly, consider purchasing a fifth wheel trailer instead. You will need to buy a bigger truck, but a comparable length fifth wheel will offer a less stressful towing experience.
Cargo Capacity
This trailer has the ability to carry enough weight for most full-time families, or lots of toys for weekend adventures.
Tow Vehicle Recommendations
This trailer is a very big travel trailer. There may be some half ton trucks that could technically meet the towing specs, but experienced RVers will tell you to get a heavy duty truck. 3/4 ton trucks are the minimum recommendation.
Also, be sure you are considering fifth wheels. They are more stable and easier to tow than travel trailers, while offering features like more storage and higher ceilings. You're already in heavy duty truck territory with this trailer, so you should at least look at fifth wheels.
Look inside the door frame for a sticker that lists the payload capacity. The vehicle needs to be able to carry the tongue weight of the trailer, passengers, and gear. For a driver, passenger, and gear, that means about 1,603 pounds.
| Estimated Minimum Payload | |
|---|---|
| Individual | 1,383 lbs |
| Couple | 1,603 lbs |
| Family | 1,963 lbs |
