Using our TT to move cross-country.

I also have a Coachmen Futura(2790BH)the next size up from yours. One thing you MUST!! keep in mind is how low they are to the ground-lower than nearly every other TT. The back side is prone to drag over small dips in driveways, gas station entrances, etc. Just be careful!! We have used ours to move all our 'stuff' from Ohio to Florida when we snowbird. They do have a very high cargo carrying capacity. The spec sheet is in the cabinent above the sink, glued to the wall if someone hasn't removed it. Mine is about 2700lbs I think. I have weighed it with a lot of 'stuff' in it and wasn't even close to the gross weight. Folks here are right about the bearings and brakes. Mine had set for 2 or3 years before I bought it and one of the brake shoes had disintegrated and a piece had wedged between the drum and something else and caused the wheel to heat up. Since I check the wheel and tire for heat every stop I caught it. Thought it was a bearing going bad, so let it cool and drove to a repair place. there we found the problem. I would probably replace the bearings and brakes before a long trip like you are taking. If you have any questions about the Futura PM me. I've done several mods on mine. there is a guy in Michigan who like me has one and replaced his complete floor. I put an oak laminate in mine. Sounds like a great trip you are about to embark on. Gary
