Re: newbie who would appreciate some advice
Don't worry about the details. If you can afford to go all out then get what pleases you. If you have to count pennies then do so. Main thing is make sure this is what your family would like to do. have you all been camping before? I only had two kids and we were so busy with sports during the summer we only went camping once. We did the conventional tent camping. Maybe if we would have done trailer camping we might have gone again. Id start out small and work your way up. But thats just me. Now that the kids are grown and out of the house we go trailer camping as much as possible and i will upgrade to a TH in a year or two. Good Luck! And enjoy the great outdoors! My next one will be a Road Warrior 420. It has 2 slide outs and a curbside patio with awning. I'll have to upgrade my truck to accommodate the weight. Just be sure not to buy a camper that your current truck can't handle. And you are right on with choosing 5th wheel. I wouldn't consider a bumper pull either. the 5th wheel handles so much better. My current one is 32 foot and my truck doesn't even know its back there. 06 dodge 3/4HD with 5.9 cummins. When i do get my TH I will convert the rear axle to duallys to accommodate the 3100# pin weight. And as far as parks go they usually will have some pull thrus so you don't have to worry. Just research the places you go first. We always ride our motorcycle to the park first and check it out before we book or head their. Some parks take reservations and some its first come first serve.542Views0likes0CommentsRe: fifth wheel toy haulers with 14 garage.
Thanks for all your input. I will take a look at them all. Keep the thread going with your 14 toy haulers. As far as my truck, i have a 2006 3/4 ton HD Dodge with the 5.9 cummins engine. I am pulling a 2004 Keystone Springdale 5W now. Its 31ft and about 10,000 lbs. The truck barely knows it is back there. I plan to put a dual rear axle on it and make the springs can handle it. I have read that this has been done before. Also I know a guy that says the dual axle will bolt right up to the current suspension system. Plus I will have to get farings or a dually bed. And Offsets for the front tires I am told. I really like the 2006 Cummins and would like to keep it.. If this pans out not to be possible then I will trade off for a dually with a Cummins engine.1.8KViews0likes0Commentsfifth wheel toy haulers with 14 garage.
