New Trailer Day!
This coming Saturday, we will join the Travel Trailer family, bringing home a 2019 Nash 23D.
Towing with a 2007 GMC Sierra Classic, 2500HD, Crew cab, 4WD, Duramax.
Not new to the Open Road Forums, we have had 12 great years with a popup trailer, and have frequented the forums for discussions on that.
Now we approach retirement and find ourselves transitioning from weekend and weeklong same destination trips to traveling the country with frequent overnighters for which the popup was a bit too much setup/teardown.
While we've been preparing and researching for this purchase, the reality hit home when I suddenly had to get some things in order before towing it off the lot:
- Choose a hitch
- Swap out my small mirrors for the bigger tow mirrors
- Insurance
- Find a storage lot
Still need to pick up some chocks and choose a leveling system.
Most of our camping style will carry over to the TT, with the new experience of The Black Tank :E Oh yeah, need a sewer hose...
Our camping style tends toward the primitive so planning a full-on solar upgrade, maybe Li-Ion batteries (?)($!)
Looking forward to our first shakedown run, probably in October.
No pics yet, here's a link to the mfgr web page:
