Re: Class "A" MH - Towing a Jeep Summit
reko71, I totally agree with your statement, talked to some folks who have done exactly the same trip, and with almost the same scenario, the key is, take it easy in the mountains. My MH Maximum GVWR = 16000lb, Maximum GCWR = 23000lb and Maximum Trailer Weight = 7000lb, I also have installed "Roadmaster Invisi Brake System" in the Jeep, there will be no cargo in the Jeep and a very light weight in the coach with empty holding tanks and a bit of fresh water, but the fuel tank. I like peoples input regardless of the topic, makes me sleep more easily.247Views0likes0CommentsClass "A" MH - Towing a Jeep Summit
My 2015 class "A" V10 MH is equipped with 5000lbs towing capacity, will pull 2014 Grand Cherokee Jeep Summit 5150lbs, will take I15 to I70 from S.Cali to Denver, CO, the Vail pass and Eisenhower Tunnel are both above 10000' should I worry? please note that the MH will be under weight, and no load in the Jeep.1.3KViews0likes5CommentsClass A - MH - Hitch Capacity
Hi folks, Need your opinion, my 2015 class "A" MH is equipped with "Class C" 5000lbs Hitch Capacity, and "Falcon All Terrain" non-binding tow bar, also 5000lbs, will pull 2014 Grand Jeep Summit bit over the limit, 5150lbs, should I be worried, thank you for your help.1.4KViews0likes7CommentsRe: I10 vs I40
Thank you Guys, Must say, a divided group, but a lot of option for me to consider, a great input folks, kind of familiar I10 and Tucson, years back our daughter went to UOA, so there were many trips, the problem always was the darn sand storms,and there are truly "wide open spaces" so kind of leaning toward I40 and I20. Last fall we drove to Denver, I15 to I70, Vail pass and Eisenhower tunnel very tough for MH and pull, but our Winnebago take us thru, slowly but we made it OK, all depends on the weather, will keep you post-it and ask for advise in case I am lost (it comes very easy for me, you know)2.6KViews0likes0CommentsRe: I10 vs I40
After reading all of your guys input, the "toss up" sounds like a good idea, all depends on the weather, I might postpone the trip till the first week of April, it seams to me that most of you prefer the I10 to I20, will check the weather condition shortly before take-off. FYI,last fall we drove to Denver I15 to I70 and got to tell you, the climbs-Vail pass and Eisenhower tunnel were tough, but we made it with no problem. Thanks a bunch guys.2.6KViews0likes0Comments- 423Views0likes0Comments
I10 vs I40
Hi folks, Please advise, in late March we'll be traveling/driving our MH class "A" from the LA area to Dallas TX for a family reunion pulling a Jeep Cherokee, I was told that I10 is a bit longer, but less hilly as you will, is that correct?, never drove that route, please note that, as a retirees, we are kind of new to the whole experience and appreciate all your input. God Bless, Gerard16KViews0likes27Comments
