These might be worth a look also if you are going to be off road.

Nothing like helping someone else spend their money.

Congrats! Hope the trip was uneventful! We had to cancel our trailer a few weeks into our ordering. Totally bummed us out but life stepped in and we had to hold off getting the 250 rbs. Keep us posted on how you like it.

A lot of rain on the drive home. They did a great job of setting up the hitch. After looking a little closer today it looks like they up graded it to D rated tires. Not a drop of water from all the rain we were in yesterday.

I am starting the second of a two-week stay in our new 249 and will do a review when I get home to a full-size keyboard.

Yes, pleasantly surprised to get D-rated 14-inch tires, even if they are China bombs.

We camp year-round here in NC and have for many years. Had a Casita and 2 Surveyors before this one.... More thoughts after T-giving.

I was surprised on the tires also. I thought they had C rated tires. How much was your dry weight on the sticker on the tongue?

Todd, Sorry to hear you had to cancel your order. Hope things work out for you. They make campers everyday. Good luck.

Dry weight was 5,001, with gross at 7,000. So I think C would have worked, but I feel much better about the D.
