towing \gmc canyon\ rockwood roo

First, know that I'm far from being an expert on weight issues, but weight is weight, isn't it?? Being considered "Lite" or ultralight doesn't mean that it's not too heavy for your TV. Some folks go by the X-percentage of wiggle room with your ROO loaded and ready to pull out. Others go by the 1000# Rule, saying that ready to pull out, you should have 1000# to spare. I believe your 233S weighs more than our '07 23"SS. Fully loaded, minus anything in the tanks, we weigh 5000# on the nose. We are towing with an F-150 with the factory tow rated at 8000#. I would think that if you haven't already done so, you need to have your 233S fully loaded and head for the scales at your local truck stop. You can get the TV weighed with the regular number of occupants, get the tongue weight of the trailer and then the weight of the trailer alone. Think it cost us less than $10 for this weighing at a Pilot. That is the only way you're going to know for sure what you're going to be towing. I would think for a trip like this, which BTW sounds awesome, you're going to have more "stuff" with you than just a weekend camping. Check the specs for your specific truck by asking your dealer to pull it up by the VIN#. Then the math.

WDH is a requirement for most of us. Ours is an Equalizer and has done a great job. Wind drag is for sure an issue. We consider it a good day if we average 10mpg.

For sure you want to have your ducks in a row before you head out for your big adventure. Nothing can ruin a trip like finding out after the fact that you are not set up right. If you can pull your exact #s together and repost, you'll get more solid recommendations.

Oh! and welcome to the forum!
