Considering GD 350m and 2016 Ram 2500 Laramie Crew
Hi there! So we have decided after a lot of thought and searching this site with such good information that a 38' or less trailer is better for us for many reasons.
1) We can get into a lot more trailer parks/camp grounds
2) We can get into the Nascar races in the cheaper lots LOL
3) Easier for my man to drive and tow it LOL
4) Cost of one under 40' about $20k cheaper
5) Loan is easier on them
6) Insurance is better
With that being said, we are considering the GD 350m. We are going to be seeing one in the next week or so. We looked at the larger GD trailers and like the modern feel to them as well as all the features it offers.
We are taking the advice from people on this forum and getting it set up so that it is up and running for us. We are going to do the "full inspection" of it and going as far as looking at the door hinges, faucets, door handles, underneath the trailer, the roof, everything just to get a good feel of the trailer. We are going to sit in it, lounge in it, see how the rooms vary with noise from room to room. Our plan is to make the toy hauler area my office space since I work from home.
So we have some questions:
Does anyone own this exact model and if so your pros vs. cons?
Does anyone have the all in one washer/dryer in their trailer? If so, you like it?
5th wheel hitch - we heard pros vs. cons on the slider hitch. Thoughts?
Now on to the truck - we are considering the 2016 Ram 2500 Laramie Crew Cab 4x2 6'4" Box. Anyone have pros vs. cons on this type of truck?
We are looking at towing weight capacity on this truck of 17,900 I believe which is enough for the GD 350m with empty and full weight capacity.....
Thanks!
