I appreciate your comments. I am also concerned about the weight as well as the length. I know I should start smaller but I would like to house my family members when then come to help or just to visit.
My dad has a Chevy Silverado 4x4, but my guess is its towing capacity is not much better. I was going to have my family pack our car and drive separately in an effort to reduce the weight. I believe with nothing in the trailer or truck I am at 13,000 GCW leaving me a 1,000 to put in the trailer and/or truck.
My uncle keeps telling me I worry to much as he has a friend with an F150 like mine and he pulls a camper that is 6000 lbs. dry with two harleys inside from Ohio to Florida every year. Plus, he says your only driving 250 miles on flat land, go for it and fun.
I have not thought about having it shipped to my location and stored. Is that costly?????
