Re: 5th Wheel or Toter or Class A (Diesel)
Thanks Everyone for the feedback and insight!! My wife and I have decided to go with a used 40-45ft DP. I have a few questions. 1. Which brand of DP is the best manufactured and most reliable to buy used? 2. If we chose to use a Trailer to carry car, bikes and golf cart, where does the RV Parks allow their customers to park the trailers if the lot is to small to store there? And Yes, a Toter (Super C) is used heavily in the racing community. Right before I stopped racing Toters were just getting popular. If I can find a used Toter with the amenities and interior quality I need, I would buy instead of a DP. Thank You to All!!! Blessings to Each of You!!!559Views0likes0CommentsRe: 5th Wheel or Toter or Class A (Diesel)
Thanks Everyone for the feedback!!!! Last night we decided that we will go with and look for a 40-45ft Used DP. Will run that for 2-3 years and then I will get a new or nearly new Show Hauler. If I can find a Toter at the right price, that has been very well maintained, I may take that. 5th Wheels are really nice, but I have had Duallys and I do not want anything that will not go through an Express Tunnel Car Wash (YES I AM OLDER AND LAZY WHEN IT COMES TO WASHING OUR CARS). Like several have said about running around town, they do not like the big trucks. I would only buy a short bed, 350/3500 Single Wheel Crew Cab Truck and that would not handle 38-40ft 5th. So a DP or Toter it is, with a toad. Question: 1. Which Brand DP 2014-2010 (40-45ft) would you go with, that has a minimum of 10,000 Tow Capacity? CAT, Cummins or whatever does not matter on the engine. But would like 400hp or more. 2. Can a GMC Yukon 4x4, be towed with a Tow Bar? 3. If not, how do you handle Trailer Parking at the RV Parks, if I chose to use a Trailer for the Yukon?412Views0likes0Comments5th Wheel or Toter or Class A (Diesel)
Good Day Everyone We are preparing to buy either a 5th Wheel, Class A or Toter. We are trying to decide which one to go with. Now I know this horse has been ridden to death, but I need some different points of view from people with experience. Feedback from RV owners that have owned both 5th Wheel and Class A and/or Toter would really be great as well. To clear the air and simplify things, I have vast experience towing and handling both types of Setups. So dealing with all aspects of diesels (have owned many) and trailers (same thing but not 5th Wheels) are not an issue. What I really need help and testimonies for is your experience with either or both. The Pros and Cons and What would you do different. Before my wife and I spend such a large amount of money, I want to hear from the RV Community that is dealing with and living in these things everyday. Here are our details: 1. 3 people (2 adults / 1 (16) year old) and 1-2 Pups traveling 2. Will do mostly 1-4 week trips. But may do 2-4 month trips. 3. Prefer Heavy Duty with all trailers and vehicles 4. I have experience with RVing 5. Thinking about taking a Golf Cart or ATV or 2 Dirt Bikes (not on top of list) 6. Traveling Nation wide and into Canada Please also tell us your preferred 5th Wheel or Motor Home (Class A or Toter) and the reason why it is your preferred. Thanks so much in advance. I pray that everyone has a Blessed 2018!!!!3.1KViews0likes11Comments5th Wheel or Toter or Class A (Diesel)
