Tennesseegirl I will be pulling it with a 1 ton 4X4 GMC deisel pickup. I do not plan on pulling it cross country or thousands of miles. Probably I will pull it a couple of hundred miles to a lake, set it up and stay for a week or so. We may buy a lake lot and set it up there as a lake house. From what I can tell from the info I have found, the tung weight ranges from 6200 to 7800 empty. That is heavy but not too much for a 1 ton. I see longer and heavier trailers going down the highway all the time without any problems. The key is matching the pulling vehicle with the weight of the trailer you are pulling. Having grown up in a truck driving family and being a truck driver myself, in the past I understand weight and correct distribution of axel weight for smooth controlled pulling.
