Is my TT too big for long trips?
We are at a crossroads with our current travel trailer. It’s a 2017 Flagstaff 831 BHDS measuring 34’9” total length & a dry weight of 7195, GVWR 8761. The tow vehicle is a 2015 F-350 with a 6.7 diesel...

I decided to call Propride & spoke with Sean. He recommended the 1400lb bars, answered all my questions & then took my order even offering to expedite my shipping since I’m leaving for a trip next Friday. Yep, it hurt a little but after reading all the positive reviews on the PP & Hensley I decided to just bite the bullet.
A couple of things that swayed to the PP vs Hensley was the available 2.5” shank stinger as well as the adjustable height & tilt. I didn’t feel confident enough in the 2” or 4” option with the Hensley stinger & it seems short sided to not offer a tilting head. Also in my F-350 I have the factory 2.5” hitch & I am not a fan of the adapter, I bent my last pin which I’d never done before as well as some wear on the new pin that I feel is caused by using an adapter vs a 2.5” shank. Sealed the deal for me once I found out he offered a 2.5” shank that I can adjust.
