WD hitches on trailers with aluminun frames
Ran across an interesting 30ft. travel trailer recently. It is an unsold 2011 EARTHBOUND bumper pull. The frame ( and tongue )is all aluminum. I'm wondering about the effects that a weight distributin...

Hi btcruzer,
Good for you! I don't believe you will be disappointed. Our Dillon has the same floorplan as your Morrison, minus the sofa (and 4 feet of length). We really like the big rear bath and just the general way it's put together. I especially like the tight seams where the counters and cabinets meet the walls. Everything shows care with the assembly.
I also noticed our trailer has Hepvo valves instead of P-traps for the sink and shower drains. http://www.hepvo.com/ No worries about gray water bubbling up in the shower if your gray tank gets too full. It's the details like this that still impress me.

I've looked around there and you just click on various dates highlighted with the Blue dots. Start with the oldest date with a "dot" and you can see the progression of line.
As for my Dodge, we had a Lance slide-in camper for 4 years before we got our Dillon, hence the airbags. We traded it in in August of 2009, ordered the Dillon, and waited until August 2010 to pick it up. Earthbound was moving from Elkhart to Marion (and probably was running into financial difficulties at the time too.) But the wait was totally worth it. We were looking at the Airstream 25FB, but we now have more room inside (no rounded wall to ceiling area) and nothing to rot, like Airstream floors are wont to do.
We just sold our truck and bought a 2013 VW Touareg TDI (diesel). With a 7700 pound towing capacity, it should handle our 5400 pound (GVW) Dillon with ease.
Hope you have a great time with your Morrison and if you have any questions, ask away and I'll do my best to answer them. During our yearlong wait I was in at least monthly contact with David Hoefer of Earthbound asking questions and getting answers. He asked my opinion of various item and I hope I helped with my opinions. Bummer they didn't make it.
