X3, If you rig is OEM why ask for opinions when the manual tells you the MFG recommendations. BTW 6.x engines are not large. They are low end of the v8's504Views0likes0CommentsRe: Why did you decide to buy new instead of used trailer?
New; 1) We are buy for keeps 2) I do not trust any of the after market hacks I read about of people doing to their TT. 3) Many do not know how to use black water tanks, they end up smelling up the TT 4) improperly cared for roof and delaminated issues. To me, Warranties are worthless, I wouldn't want any dealer to touch it anyway, you end up with more issues than you took it in with.398Views0likes0CommentsRe: Help with bigger TT trade - best light TT 23-29 foot?

Fully loaded for a trip you will most likely be at the TT max weight. But again like others have stated add the tongue weight to your payload and the TT max weight to your max tow rating.958Views0likes0CommentsRe: Off Grid/Boondocking Water Questions

We are wimps -- we wipe the teflon skillet with used paper napkins -- so we need a lot less water for a soap and water cleaning. We camp over fire, so it is handy.434Views0likes0CommentsRe: Off Grid/Boondocking Water Questions
When our (2) kids came with us in the TT we had 45 gals in fresh tank, 8 gals in hot water tank, (2) 5 gal jugs to put out camp fires. Don't forget your shovel. With us 2 we can go a long time. Here in AZ (no water even close by); We went 5 days and still drained water out of the TT. Sponge baths Navy showers or usual showers on last day depending on how much is left. Iron skillets we wiped with the dirt, sponge final wipe Paper plates and plastic food ware when we could Toilets as usual Where we wasted was in coffee, couldn't limit there ~2 gals a day. What good is it enjoying the outdoors without coffee :-)434Views0likes0Comments
