Yikes! Rockey mountain special

Well, Im pretty sure thats over the 3,600 pound towing capacity.

No problems with that combo, minivan has lots of room for all the kids. Ontario plates, could have been set up by Canam. He had one setup at a show, Fiat Pop towing at 17ft TT. He said that combo was a little slow on the highway, but handled very well.

You guys do know that there are several RV rental companies, with many of these companies that will deliver the RV, to your campsite? They will even have them loaded with water, pots/pans/dishes/bedding, if desired and have the RV set up, ready and waiting for the customer/campers?

here's one in British Columbia that will delivery and set up... http://www.newhorizonrvrentals.com/index.html... there are many more!

Wow that's a 5000lb+ trailer but I will not judge. The OP did say he saw it "pull in".

Good. The kids can get out and help push up those long grades!! :W :B

We stopped for pics at the entrance to the Smokey Mtns a few weeks ago and there was a new Chrysler Town and Country pulling a 30" BH RV. Husband, wife, dog, at least two teenagers inside. Everything looked level but it sure suprised me to see them going up the grade. I saw them later at a site in our campground (Elkmont) with the hood up. To be fair, they may have just been checking fluids.

These "look what I saw" threads without any actual weight numbers on the tow vehicle or the trailer leads to much speculation.

He is probably legal per the state patrol or equal. Not to the rv.net police tho.

That is a great picture. Every time I take a picture of my Express with our trailer, the trailer seems to dwarf my van. From your picture it looks like this could be a lower profile trailer because it doesn't dwarf that van like my trailer does mine.

I often wonder when I see a 3/4 ton or 1 ton pickup being used by a landscape company, and the lights are pointed skyward and they are just using what appears to be a typical 2" drawbar, if they are exceeding their hitch tongue ratings? I know that my van seems to hardly squat with over 800# of tongue weight, so I wonder what their tongue weights are to get those pickups to squat so bad? But hey, they are using a large pickup so I am sure it handles and stops just fine that way.
