Hello from Illinois.

We just purchased 2018 Tracer Ultra Light 3175RSD and excited to pick it up this Saturday. Honestly I am a tad bit nervous since its our first trailer and over 34 feet long. Our 2011 Chevy 3/4 ton truck will pull it. I just need to be careful on my turns. Wish us luck.

Hello and welcome from Arkansas. Take you time, try not to get distracted, use a helper on speaker phone to park, practice in a private area and you will be fine.

Welcome to the forum from Chagrin Falls, Ohio. Congrats on your new rig.
Here is the best video to explain how to back a trailer into a spot. Take your time, you will do fine.
Also, buy an Equalizer 4 point WD hitch.

Greetings from New Mexico and a former Chicagoian. Yes be careful with turns and gas stations. I introduced my Tracer 206 Air to the steel post barriers at a pump on the first trip. Lesson learned for me. Take the very last pump. There may be a line of other TTs, just be patient. Cheers.

Hey Now, and Welcome from Minnesota !!! (Jeff is a transplant from Chicago's South 'Burbs .... )

Congrats on your Tracer ... we are having a gas with ours !!! And we thought ours was "long enough" at 24/26 feet ...

Safe Travels to you, and Have Fun !!!
