Re: Half ton towing
In 2017 I bought a Coleman 192RD and was pulling it with a 1500 Silverado with the large V6. Okay if you tow on flat land. Looked at Ford trucks and bought a F250. The dealer said I could tow wth a F150 but the package I needed would cost a third more than the F250. It was not as much the tongue weight but the towing power. We went to a campground with a 25% grade and had no problem. F250 the better deal.602Views0likes0CommentsRe: Been gone for awhile
Hello I have a 2017 Coleman Lantern 192RD. They are right about the mattress We replaced ours pretty soon after buying it. I would consider a good 8" memory foam because it is less weight.We have about 40,000 miles on our camper and are in Alabama right now. One of the many mods I have done was to add electric to the water heater, you can buy a kit and it is very easy.188Views0likes0CommentsRe: air condition
My fan runs constantly but that is standard for the unit. I am figuring out a way to put a 110 volt plug in thermostat near the breaker panel. The one I am looking at has a remote temperature control, I do not know how good it is but here is the link to it. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B071NG8MZK/ref=ox_sc_saved_image_2?smid=A3KNQ5UR6RZMP9&psc=1 THE THERMOSTAT I SENT THE LINK TO WILL NOT WORK. IT IS ONLY 15 AMP AND MOST CAMPER AC'S ARE 20 AMP391Views0likes0CommentsRe: Towing without a equalizer hitch
I have a 2017 F250 and tow a Coleman 192RD gross weight 5200. I was just using a sway bar but questioned a forum as to the advantages of a WD hitch and received many good answers. I have since purchased one and it made the camper feel like it is part of the truck. I had a situation on the way back from our last trip where someone decided they needed to get on the expressway immediately instead of merging, smoked the tires on both the truck and the camper but everything stayed in line in heavy traffic. I think the WD did part of the job.1.7KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Weight distribution
Thanks for all the input. You are right about the trucks ability and I do have a standard sway bar I always use. I am considering the weight distribution as suggested. We drove from Kentucky down to north Georgia through tropical storm Irma with no problem, but anything to make towing easier is always a plus.722Views0likes0CommentsWeight distribution
I have a 2017 F250 with tow package and I am pulling a 2017 Coleman 192RD approx. weight 5500 pounds. I have a sway bar but no weight distribution. The truck pulls it with no problem. I have read that in some states sway control is required by law, does anyone know if that includes weight distribution?4.4KViews0likes23Comments
