CDs?
Lol
It ain’t got a CD player, so that should help w payload….hahahaha
Thanks all for the responses. Im feeling like it could be 'good enough' for short trips to nearby camping spots but not ideal for 5+ hour trips, not to mention I don't want to wear out the SUV and its expensive 10 speed transmission. I think we'll move our search toward a used Class C Motorhome as we have 3 cars already and not wanting to get a 3/4 ton truck for single use towing.
Thanks for the responses
Looks like you're looking at a 2220ML trailer?!?
That should be very doable with your MB.
The one thing to look at is where are the tanks, ie water gray and black. The heavy item storage. With a bath, side kitchen, if those areas are behind the axles, you can run into a low hitch weight issue. But if you can load forward of the axles, you'll be better off.
I don't personally see an issue with you MB towing this trailer. Get somewhere, park the trailer, you have the MB to tour around locally. A class C, you have to tow a car around to your locally or take the MH. Danged if you do, danged if you don't.
You'll probably put 800-1200 lbs of stuff in the trailer. 750-800 lbs of hw. 6500 or so on the axles. No issues.
2 People etc in MB at 600-700 lbs. This includes CDs, wife's purse, food for trip, first aid kit, jumper cables etc that we all put in our rigs.
1400 lbs in vehicle for people and hitch weight.
Trailer at 26', probably as long as one wants on a 117" WB, but a proper WD/sway control setup assuming MB recommends one, you'll be styling!
My last post I forgot to mention payload issues. That's usually more of a problem than tow ratings. Been there done that!
