Re: Fishing Bridge Campground Yellowstone
Good to know, having never been there it's hard to know. I have no interest in a divorce or missing my rig for a few months while it's getting repairs just to try and save a few minutes if drive time. We'll just find a spot out of the park this year. Thanks for all your advice!253Views0likes0CommentsFishing Bridge Campground Yellowstone
I we are planning on going to Yellowstone next summer in August sometime. I thought about spending a couple days at Fishing Bridge but the only sites left are for rigs 35' and under. I have a Class A that is 35' 11". Do I dare try it or would that be a mistake? Thanks in advance2KViews0likes10CommentsTowing question/help with new rig
Ok so I'm shopping around to get my first motorhome moving up from a travel trailer. I've been leaning toward a gas class A until recently when I saw that the newer Class C's with the E450 have a 7500# hitch and towing capacity. I would like to tow 4 down but with that many kids my choices are limited. I currently have a 1500 Suburban that I could tow 4 down but of course they are heavy and I wouldn't be able to do that unless I went Diesel in the Class A. I was going to get a Ford Explorer which would work with the class A but that would mean I would have to buy that in addition as I still want to keep the suburban. Current specs on the one I've been looking at (2016 Coachman Leprechaun 319DS) shows a GVWR of 14500 and a GCWR of 22000. With the Suburban coming in around 6000# It would seem by the numbers that I would be ok. Granted I realize that I wouldn't be breaking any records going up hills and gas mileage would suffer and of course would need a good supplemental breaking etc, but is there something I'm missing or a reason that I would regret it? If I go this route the rig will cost me $30k less than the class A I was looking at and I save another $25k in not having to buy an additional rig. Appreciate your input in advance1.2KViews0likes2CommentsRe: 2 speed transfer case
It's a 2014 LT, they come in both a single and 2 speed transfer, Mine is a single speed so according to the manual it cannot be towed 4 down. I'm not overly attached to it. Unfortunately just bought it a couple months ago though so didn't want to go through finding another one if i didn't have to. Its still under manufacturers warranty so I don't want to do anything that would void that. I just didn't know if its a matter of swapping one thing out for another for under $2-3k? Sounds like might be a little more involved than that. Appreciate the input361Views0likes0Comments2 speed transfer case
Ok so I'm very ignorant when it comes to anything car related. I'm in the beginning stages of looking at a diesel class A with the intention of finding one that I could tow my 2014 4x4 suburban with. I was just reviewing the dinghy guide and realized that mine doesn't have a 2 speed transfer case. Again showing my ignorance... is this something that can be swapped out or am I just better looking to trade it for one that does?2.7KViews0likes9Comments
