NEW RIG - 16 RAPTOR

Nice lookin' rig. Floor plan is very close to our Fuzion 302TE.

We are just up the road from you in Fort Benton.

Enjoy the new toy!

Good looking rig. :C

Congrats it looks good with the truck!

Yeah the wind hurts, especially in Montana. When I had my 27 foot that was probably 10k (don't trust the sticker but never had it weighed), I got 6mpg one trip from Billings to Bozeman. But 9-10 is still good, depending on speed.

The bumper pull was 30ft (33 with tongue). It was a Desert Fox made by Northwood and it was pretty heavy as well. Think it weighed in around 12k with all my stuff also it was about 11ft tall maybe 11.5. I was getting about 11mpg on the flats maybe 12 if I was lucky hauling that.

I stopped at the scales on my way home and this new one weighs in at 13'ish (I can't remember exact) and that was with a 1/2 tank of water (70 gallons and nothing else in in.) It's also about 13-13.5 ft tall. There is quite a bit more surface area for wind resistance on this guy. Over all I was getting about 9-10mpg on my tow home but to be fair it was mostly in a side/head wind which didn't help one bit.

So far though the comparison towing is night and day.

Looks good!!! I often travel through Montana and I currently have a 21 foot bumper pull. How big was your last TH? I have been debating going up to a small fifth wheel but I already don't get good gas mileage through Montana at 70 mph (in an 80 mph zone now LOL). How was your mileage compared to your last one? I have read mixed reviews on going to the heavier fifth wheel.
