DD1 and I took a day trip to Cave-in-Rock, IL, to see the swollen Ohio River on Saturday. Beautiful day.

Nice setup. We have the 2009 version of the 32BHDS and 2010 version of the GMC.
Nice, I feel like we're cousins. ๐
BTW, what kind of weight distribution hitch do you use? I am a little concerned because we basically told Camping World that money was no object on that set up and they provided us with an EAZ-Lift setup. Works great but I notice it makes a lot of grinding noises when driving about town with turns, the chains rub up against the A frame of the trailer. After doing a little bit of research I am now wishing I hod gotten the Reese setup which is a bit more expensive but I've heard great reviews. Since your setup is very similar to mine I figured I'd ask what you use.

I have the step brother of the trailer (31BHDS) and we take it everywhere and feel like we brought our house with us! I would really enjoy the convenience of pulling something shorter (w/o dedicated TV)but the DW doesn't want to give up any of the space.FerrickFamily wrote:

When we started looking at trailers we focused on 24 footers max because we were considering using our 2009 Dodge Durango but then soon realized we wanted to go bigger and needed a bigger truck as well, kind of went overboard but I'm glad we did. We had the finances to go for the gusto and did not want to regret it later realizing I would probably not make a purchase like this again any time soon.
I had a lot of towing experience many moons ago while serving in the aviation community of the US Navy and took great pride with my towing skills although towing an aircraft has 2 pivot points so a bit more challenging. That said, I felt confident being a newbie that I could maneuver the longer travel trailer and to my delight I was correct so we're very happy we went with the larger sized travel trailer. The bunk house is what sealed the deal for us, I love that my girls have their own space and plenty of room. This has been such a great experience so far.
Here is a photo of our most recent trip near Yosemite.

I think I got it. This is our Sprinter 311bhs. It's going on a year old with no issues and we used it alot last spring and summer. This picture was our first trip in it (March 2010). It's not a very good picture, but I failed photography 101.
Awesome! That's very nice......
This is almost exactly like our 2010 Dutchmen Colorado 31BH. LOVE IT!! Our will be 1 year old in April. Man I love the outdoor kitchen, don't you?
