HEY we need a sticky for our TT pics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Viken]

I was just looking at 5er's, toy haulers, and slide in, sites and they have a sticky for their rig pics. We don't. I just saw that. Is it just me or do we TT guys and gals need a sticky for our rigs. I say yes we do.

Used to own a 2-horse trailer with a five or six foot A frame. A dream to back up with.

bushrat - nice setup. I'm laughing to myself because our first TT was 19' - followed a couple of years later with a 25' - followed a couple of years later with a 29' - followed by a 32' and now we have a 35' fifth wheel. One thing we found is that the longer the easier to backup. We towed those TT's with the same F250 V10 and initially towed our fifth wheel with it, till just recently upgrading to the DRW.

My hubby used to drive a semi, and when I'd get aggravated when backing my teardrop, he'd always tell me the same thing. "When you get this mastered, you'll not have a problem backing any other trailer."

I'm new on this forum, but have been towing trailers for several
years. Regardless of that, I hope to learn some new things.
Here's our latest TT. We always had smaller trailers before.
Towing something this big is a new experience.

31' 1995 Jayco Eagle w/ one large slide out.
Tow vehicle is a 2008 Ford F250HD

This is my newer to me TT, it's a 36' 1993 Skyline Nomad w/ a slide out. It's been great to have all that room, our last one was a 24'.

I made a pvc side rail for the upper bunks after the first night sleeping in it, our oldest (9y/o) fell out in his sleep. He wasn't hurt, infact he didn't even realise he fell he was in such a deep sleep. Since installing the side rails we had no more problems.

Your skyline has a very similar interior to my 31 ft Skyline Layton. I didn't know they made a model like this with a slide in the early 90's.

Mine doesn't have a slide but it's interior is also like new.

Exterior. Not so much.

I do have a few q's for you. What is the gvwr and what do you use to pull it?

Congrats on the new TT and good luck on the roof redo. I have heard that you can get the EPDM from a roofing supply store much cheaper that from a RV dealership. Mine will have to be done in the near future too.
Thanks!

Hi jerem0621,

I was told by the rv dealer it weighs around 7K lbs empty, about 8K lbs loaded. I haven't weighed it. I pull it with my navigator w/ the air suspension with no problems. I've towed 10K many times with it. I don't carry water, I fill up when I get there & keep the bikes in the back bunk room so there is not too much weight on the ball.

The roof repair has worked well. Funny thing about the roof, it's now pretty white, I guess over the fall & winter it got cleaned off by it self with the rain & snow. Where ever it was before I bought it must have been under trees.

I'm hoping to go camping this weekend, it's been pretty mild here, we used it last on 11/11-11/13.
