coachmen freedom express 192rbs
Anyone have one? What do you like and dislike? Would you buy it again? How do you use it and what do you tow it with? I think we've narrowed it down to this unit...it's big enough for the 2 of...

Last Train? Trailer sure looks nose down 4 or 5 inches and Ridgeline squatting at least the same.......may be the picture angle. Trailer nose down is usually better than nose high.

So re your squatting observations. I have regularly measured the drop of our Ridgeline at the rear bumper, and it has never exceeded two inches - and I measure that once we are fully loaded the night before we depart for a trip early the next morning. I also measure our tongue weight with a Sherline scale, as well.
I think what Ralph and others are asking though is whether when hitched up and ready to go camping your trailer is sitting level front to back. If so, the trailer frame should be at the same distance off the ground at the rear as it is at the front ... not the A frame, but the frame near the front of the box. I agree, in your pics your combination sure doesn't look level but of course pics can distort so it's hard to tell without an actual measurement. As an example, my own truck & trailer runs dead level, and measurements confirm it. :B
This is only possible, even with my 1/2 ton Silverado as a tow vehicle, because I use a properly sized & adjusted weight distribution system. Have to admit, I've always wondered how this is possible with a Ridgeline towing a 192RBS without also using weight distribution. :h
