Final decision is an Aspen Trail 2810bhs with dry weight of 6475 towed by my 2015 Silverado double cab 5.3 V8. Pulled it home yesterday and I feel it did well but the trip was fairly short from the dealership. Heading out this weekend for our inaugural trip and will update you all again after my that. I'm a newbie so this aught to be comical. Stay tuned lol! Thanks for the info you all provided in helping me make a decision.
P. S. Any tips for a newb will be greatly appreciated ????
Get a decent WDH. I have an Equal-i-zer 4 point hitch and prefer it to the standard hitches the RV places sell, but even if you get a standard Curt or Husky, get one with 1,200 lb bars. I got 800 lb ones with the hitch the dealer sold me with the trailer and it bounced a lot.
Take it easy and swing wide on the turns. Take your time backing into a spot and don't worry if the neighbors are watching. Newbies can be fun to watch :) Get out and check if you aren't sure of something.
Enjoy your new trailer.
