Downgraded from a 35ft 5vr to a 30ft class C and eventually settled on a 30TT with no slides. Best decision we ever made. Just enough room for us and we can get it into most state parks / campsites. Very happy with the decision and, we find that we spend more time outside enjoying nature than sitting around in a big 'home on wheels' so to speak.
Have been thinking about Airstreams along with other possibilities.
What is your feeling about the Airstream towing performance compared to a fiver? Seems like they would be better in the wind due to the shape. Any sway issues for you?
I am considering a Hensley hitch if we go with a TT. Do you think it might be a good thing, or unnecessary? We pull with a Ram 2500 Cummins 5.9.
The AS tows well in my opinion. You will have no problem with the 2500. I tow with an F150 currently and it's a pleasant experience towing. The aerodynamics are a factor but so is the low center of gravity with the AS and the torsion axles.
I have never used the Henssley but, people who do swear by them. Certainly can't go wrong with that combo.
