Re: Taking delivery on TT, what do I need???
Just read the article about the geo method, that's awesome! Definitely going to be using that for sure. Just making sure I read it correctly that you DO NOT have to use the other chemicals (blue or pink stuff) if you are using this method??? Thanks for the info on the surge protector bumpy, will order that today!!!355Views0likes0CommentsRe: Taking delivery on TT, what do I need???
All good suggestions, going to our local walmart today to see what they might have(not a supewallmart), and will also hit up the dollar stores. Some things I will have to get as I go along, but I am making a list and this gives me a great place to start.355Views0likes0CommentsTaking delivery on TT, what do I need???
We pick up our new Catalina 272 DBS Tuesday :B. What do we need to buy for our trailer next? Obviously we need fresh water hose, sewer and grey water hose. Does anyone have any suggestions on what brand to buy, and what other things do we need to make our first trips enjoyable?3KViews0likes16CommentsRe: Am I getting too much trailer??
K, I looked inside of the door on my tundra and it says that the GVWR is 6600 lbs. the way I understand it, I need a tw/tv weight that when loaded down with people and goods will weigh less than this number when you total the tv and tw together?407Views0likes0CommentsAm I getting too much trailer??
I am in the process of buying a Catalina santara 27 DBS at camping world. I have a 2007 Yukon with a 5.3l w/tow package and a 2008 tundra with a 4.7l v8. The dealer told me both vehicles would pull this trailer and the dry weight is 5200 lbs, but when I pulled up the specs online, the trailer lists at 6020 lbs dry weight, and 744 lbs hitch weight on rvguide.com. This seems like a stretch for my vehicles and especially the Yukon which Could be rated as low as 6200. The tundra rates out at 7,000 lbs. There is sooooo much information out there about tow specs and ratings, I even find different specs for the trailer I am looking at. It is quite overwhelming. We are supposed to go through financing tomorrow, but safety is #1 priority especially with my 2 kids that will be with us and that's not always a priority for the salesman. The dealer is providing the sway bars and break control. We want to have a blast camping this year so any help is appreciated!3.9KViews0likes17CommentsNew guy needs help
