We are actually leaving Friday or Saturday and driving to Boston area and staying at a campground (going to split driving between 2 days). We are going to stay there for a full week then come home. So with the weight, a lot of the trailers we are looking at are the Lite models but still around 4500lb with nothing in them. So something like this still may be to much for my truck? In looking, we didn't really see much lighter in the 20-24ft range like we were wanting.
Since I know we are jumping in pretty deep the first time and taking a long trip, any tips for the road, turns, must have pieces of equipment in the rv. Thanks
1. Have a good sway control and weight distributing hitch
2. Take your time and take a credit card.
3. Check your tire pressures and torque the lug nuts
4. Buy an extra length of cord. 30' should work. 30A you probably have. Some hookups are far away sometimes.
5. Leave plenty of following room and know how to apply just the trailer brakes on your brake controller in a panic in case you have to.
6. Do you have flip out towing mirrors on your truck?
7. RV hose for drinking water, the white hose.
