Picking up Grey Wolf 25RR tomorrow
Picking up our Grey Wolf 25RR tomorrow from Mississippi. Excited but also very anxious since I have never towed a TT before. Brand new to all of this but thanks to everyone who have posted on this forum. It has been very informative. Will have my PDI checklist in hand tomorrow.  Planning on going about 30 miles away from dealer on our trial run. Again thanks to everyone on all your great ideas and tips

Be sure to swing wide on sharp corners like intersections. I have a 21rr and I measured once in a parking lot and there was 6-8 feet difference in the path the truck wheels traveled vs. the trailer wheels on a tight turn. Don't forget some kind of mirror extensions.

Have more mods to do, but they are on hold as I'm in serious consideration to move mode. Have to complete a few projects around the homestead before contacting a Realtor to get an appraisal & list the house

Either a Harley Street Bob and a Honda DN-01 or a golf cart. We go to bike rallies and sometimes easier to get around on golf cart. Some only allow bikes. But now we will be taking the bikes more often (more camping trips) since we have the toy hauler now. Used to use a cargo trailer

Have a 25rr too and so far I can say it is a cheaply made trailer. That doesn't mean I don't like it, just that I was aware of it's shortcomings and knew I'd spend some cash "fixing" what I thought was wrong

This is my first TT so as far as quality I can't say. Night Wolf and others would know a lot more on that. But the 25RR seems like it should do exactly what we were looking for. I will not be doing as many mods as others but some are on the way. Everything seemed to be in working order and had a good but short weekend of camping. Although more storage (and wardrobe closet) would have been nice and a few more inches in toilet area would have been greatly appreciated. Layout is good and looking forward to hauling our toys. Although looking at ramp has me thinking of other threads on ramp modifications. But so far we are happy with our decision on buying the 25RR

Also towing with my Chevy avalanche went smoothly. Will let you know how it is with the bikes in trailer with the added weight. Sure that will put stress on the truck but will find out soon
