Yes iam aware of the Keystone form. Lol. Just like following them both. In Ontario were allowed up to 75'6" while towing with a truck. Iam 73' lol

Yes, I bought my ML199 and my Surveyor from American RV in Grand Rapids. It breaks my heart when I read all the dealer problems here on the forum while American has always stood behind the products they sell 110%. My salesman was Jim Snyder. Did you use him?

Yes, we also bought from Jim. He was excellent to deal with.

My first real towing adventure with the new pickup... Surprised to be getting 13 mpg towing into about 20 mph headwind. On the way back we got a touch better than 15 mpg with a 20 mph tailwind. Went to Brookshire, TX for 2 nights. Then to Rockport, Tx for 4 nights. We came back to Weatherford, today... roughly 8 hours towing, but not too tiring. I think the truck downshifted on hills twice all day.

New to FR, but not to camping. Previously had 40' Titanium TH followed by a 43' KZ Stoneridge TH that were used for snow birding and extended stays. Down sized everything to our new Rockwood 2604 WS which seems to be perfect for the kind of camping we do now.

How you liking that 3.0L Eco Diesel??? I just picked up a Jeep Grand Cherokee a couple months back with the same motor. I like it, haven't towed with it but have heard the motor in the Truck vs the SUV are tuned totally different.

Can't have a b-train in MB with a hitch. Wish we could.
Are you using any stabilization on the 2nd hitch?

Thanks. I installed a bumper hitch on the trailer and reinforce it with a
1 1/2" with 1/4" wall square tube. It tows great with no added sway bar.

My question is even though the tow is not commercial, do you have to stop a weigh stations with that cab?

At times it can be a bit hard to get in a site but I have not gotten in every site so far. I do not stop at weigh scales and in all my travel this summer, down 95 and then up 75 & across 80 never a problem. It does take some planning
