The "dry" tongue weight on the 2608 is 800 pounds. With full propane and battery (I have 2) you'll be closer to 1000lbs.

It's a heavy trailer. It pulls well, but I've been in the Smokies with it and would not want any less truck for sure.

So gar, this trailer has performed flawlessly and we could not be happier.

We have tent camped, we've had a pop up (Rockwood high wall), we've had another brand of travel trailer, and then we went back to tent camping with a Jeep and off road trailer so we have a little experience!

Our kids are now grown so we were looking for something for just the two of us that could handle short and long trips and something we could be comfortable with inside and out.

We looked at several dealerships and so many floorplans both in person and online.

The 2608 sold itself the second we stepped inside.

The addition of a dual reclining loveseat in place of the sofa made this floor perfect for us.

It's raining outside now and I am comfortable inside like I never was in our previous campers.

Every system on the 2608 has worked perfectly and I haven't found a single issue. We've tested everything.

The fireplace is awesome and will heat the camper saving valuable propane! I'm impressed with it's performance and the ambiance is just fun.

The liveability of this floorplan is amazing.

I'll be glad to answer any questions if you are interested in this model.
what is the deal with the furion backup camera? I have a 2016 F-150 3.5 ecoboost with backup camera, and some kind of dongle to make it all work. What should I buy? We just ordered a 2608 BS and will pick it up in a month. Suggestions?

As far as I know, the Furrion won't work with the F150 backup camera.

No issues towing my 2608 with F150 EB with payload package. Loaded trailer wt last weighed was 7300# (FW tank almost empty) with about 900# on the tongue. Loaded truck was about 6300# without trailer. gVWR is 7850 so still have over 500# available payload. Within GCWR and F/RGAW. Payload on TV door sticker is 2418#.

With the Husky Centreline WDH I experience very little wag in high winds.
