Wife loves this floor plan so we drove 3 1/2 hours to pick it up. Loving it so far. Just wish the dealer had read the install instructions for the equal-i-zer, was not a fun drive home!

Congrats on the new unit. After 4 travel trailers I had to dial my hitch set up my self after dealer install. Tongue weight is a beast on these Salem units.

Happy Camping

Congrats. The front kitchens are very tongue heavy, we ended up getting a 20/2k pullrite to ensure we weren't exceeding limits. Our hemisphere 302FK is listed 1060 empty, we haven't been to the scales but with battery, propane, and gear I'm sure it's up there.

We picked our 2017 30 loft up in August. Camped in it once. Looking forward to memorial weekend to try it out again. We love the layout also.

Sorry to say it, but I'm thinking you need a larger tow vehicle. Looks maxed out to me.

After a couple trips I did decide to upgrade to a new Ram 2500. Love the trailer. Room for the kids without giving up living space is great.

That is great to hear, your old TV was not enough. I bet you love the tow now too.
