Re: Expert Towing Advice
JIMNLIN - Thanks. As mentioned, I'm a novice camping guy. I didn't know I would need to get into the mechanical "weeds" of things in asking my question. I was primarily looking for people who had a similar vehicle and towed campers of that size/weight. Thank you for your thoughts on the matter. I will continue to research and welcome any comments on the subject before I purchase the camper. Thanks.226Views0likes0CommentsExpert Towing Advice
I have a 2020 Chevy Colorado LT, Short Bed. It is 4 WD and it has the Towing Package (brakes, etc). It has a towing capacity of 7000 pounds. We currently are looking at upgrading our camper to a 2020 Keystone Bullet. It is 29 feet long. The dry weight is 5275... GVWR is 7300. I'm a "novice" towing guy.... My understanding is that the GVWR is if the camper was FULLY LOADED (water tanks full, etc.). We obviously don't plan on filling our tanks when we travel... we'll do that at the campground we visit. It's only my wife and I, so we have clothes and food for,usually, 3 to 4 days. We travel over mountains, etc. So... here's my question. The long-time towing folks on here.... what are your thoughts on the ability of my truck (V6 gas engine... not diesel) to handle this camper? I know it will be quite a pull... but is it safe to get a camper this size with teh truck we have? Thoughts???? Thanks -9.1KViews0likes40Comments
