Unhook or Not?
Newbie question. When stopping at a campground for only an overnight stay (on the way to our destination) is it necessary to unhook from the TT to level it enough to use full hookups? I'm thinking in terms of running the AC, showers, and sewer hookups. Or will this depend on the specific TT? We haven't bought the unit yet but are narrowing down our favorites. Thanks for all the help!4.5KViews0likes30CommentsReal world numbers
Hello all! My wife and I are thinking of towing a Cherokee 274VFK with my F250 (CC, 6.2 gas, 4WD, 3:73). The 274VFK is 7695 dry (at the dealer)/ 11,237 GVWR which is under the rated 12,000 of the F 250 but I was wondering if anyone has any real world experience with towing such numbers. Am I really gonna add 3,000+ lbs to the dry weight for long weekend trips? Thanks! I wanted to clarify some things based on some of the excellent feedback I've gotten in the replies so far; I live in Virginia and travel (and plan to travel) in the South and South-Eastern parts of the U.S. = some "hills" for sure but nothing like the mountains I used to climb when I drove OTR. I'll plan on taking my time. I never have enough time off work to go anywhere for more than a week at a time so the gear for DW and I will be relatively minimal. It sounds like a WDH will be needed for sure. Is it better to go with a heavier rated WDH than I calculate or will that cause handling issues? Thanks again!2.9KViews0likes19Comments
