Just checking out the 2008 McKenzie we are looking at Thursday and see that it is a 30' TT ( 32' from hitch) and is showing a GVWR of 11000 it self, dry weight about 6750. Don't feel like that is much better but suppose it would handle better being smaller that the Ducthmen?? The Dutchmen dry weight is listed as 8,146, though the seller said it was only 7,600lbs.
We would still need another vehicle regardless. The suggestions are a Diesel Excursion,3/4 ton Burb or 1 ton van. At least I am getting things narrowed down and some clarity.
This forum has been such a life saver- perhaps literally! (:
I am leaning toward not going with the dutchmen. As beautiful and perfect for us as it is, I don't know that it's worth the safety risk especially us being new to all this. We'll have enough headaches along the way and don't need to purposely add another one (;
My husband and I will have to talk and pray about it. Ill be sure to have read through all the great advice on here (=
Feedback is still appreciated though as we make our final decisions. Especially since the McKenzies GVWR is only 1,000 lbs less than the Dutchmen. I'm about to just have us sleep in the back of our Burb lol
The McKenzie is a good match for a burb weight wise, the Dutchman is too heavy.
