Does anyone own one of these or have been around them. We are considering buying one but local dealers don't have them on the lot. Looking for any feed back.
Welcome to the forum. Personally I would never buy any camper without seeing one. When we we're looking to upgrade from our 2008 TT to a 5th wheel I found a certain floorplan I really liked on paper. The pics on the internet looked good too but, like you, there wasn't any local dealers that had one in stock. DW and I made the 4 hour round trip to look at one. We're glad we did because as soon as we walked in and actually saw it we knew it wasn't the one for us.
I tow mine with a 2004 Dodge Durango. Fully loaded the trailer exceeds the tow capacity, but I am just careful not to bring too much stuff. Its slow up long hills and I plan to purchase a 3/4 ton truck when I can, but for now, it works for me.
I would not even think about towing with that vehicle. If you are over the max towing capacity already I would upgrade the tow vehicle first. A lot has improved over 10 years since that vehicle was made
I'm not over the capacity, the max tow rating is 9K and the trailer is 6500 empty and 9500+ at max capacity. I dont travel with the trailer fully loaded. I do have the weight distribution hitch and air bags in the rear. I would never exceed the capacity of my vehicle.
