Too many miles?
Hello everyone. I am new to the RV experience, I just purchased a new Tracer 240 TE. I have planned a trip from Michigan to Glacier NP. I reserved all the camp sites along the way. My question is,...
Forum Discussion
Just a few suggestions... You've indicated you've only spent 20 minutes inside your new TT so obviously you haven't towed this TT any distance yet. Are you sure you have the right hitch and setup? WD and/or anti sway. You're traveling a long way it would be even worse if you don't have the right setup. Crosswinds, etc. You want to know before you start rather than mid-trip.
Keep us posted and enjoy.
Well, towing the TT is something I have never done before, I was assured by the dealer that I my TV (2008 Ford Explorer) rated to tow 5500 lbs, could pull safely. They also sold me an Equalizer Weight Distribution hitch. I did some research on towing with this TV, and while it is probably near the limit, it seems that the weights are in spec.
The Prime Time web site says that the TT is designed to be pulled with an SUV.
The TT is rated at 4110, according to my MI registration.
I really didn't want to start a, " Can my TV tow this TT" thread here, because I can always look through the archives on this forum, or do the math myself. I will also weight it at a scale according to instructions given in some books I bought. Thanks for asking, it has been a real concern for me.
