Towing question

You can get a good deal on a new RAM 1500 w/5.7 Hemi, but think about a diesel, too.

The first trailer we towed with our 2007 Tundra was a hybrid, and it worked beautifully. (Since then, we have towed two other, larger trailers with it, again no problems.) I don't worry about fuel mileage too much; seems it's been pretty much the same with every TV/trailer combination we've had over the past 15-20 years, since the bigger the TV, the bigger the trailer we have felt we could pull. :)

Once you start in that cycle - getting a bigger tow vehicle, then a bigger trailer, then a yet bigger TV, etc. - it keeps going, usually! :) Probably might as well get something big enough to pull the next trailer you're going to get!

And the MDS of that power train will get you pretty good unloaded mileage.

linkr, you don't need a diesel to pull a Bantam hybrids.
The R-vision Bantam were the lightest hybrids ever made.

BUT most RV'ers move up to bigger trailers. So you need to decide whether you may get something bigger in the future.
If so, get a tow vehicle that will be able to handle something larger so you won't have to buy another tow vehicle.

We bought our Avalanche to pull our Roo 23SS Hybrid. It was a great combo for the 10 years we used it.
But we moved to a TT that was 500lbs more, heavier tongue weight and 3ft longer.
The Avalanche began to struggle some. So we upgraded to a 2014 F150 Ecoboost with plenty of extras that will work if we get another trailer that's bigger than our new one.

As far as vinyl fabric for the expansion back, not sure what you mean.
Do you mean something like Popup Gizmos to cover the back bunk's canvas tent end?

When I put the queen bed down, The fabric of the tent part pulled out of the trailer frame channel at the top left corner. How do I put it back to stay?

Pics of the channel and the canvas edge that pulled out, would probably help.

Bantams haven't been made since 2004 or 2005. R-vision may have a different system than other brands.
