towing hitch for new trailer
Purchasng a used coachman 2021 spirit northern ultra lite 1943Rb. Its about 24 feet weighting about 4900lbs with a hitch weight of 520lbs. Will be towing w/ a 2020 ford F-150 w/ the small eco engine and a tow capacity of 7300lbs. I am 76 years old and looking for hitch that is capable but hopefully easy to hook up. Thank You4.3KViews0likes17Commentstype of hitch
I have another question, but not solar. I just purchased (on order) a new gulfstream vintage cruiser 19ft ERD, single axel. Weights about 3000lb. I have been told that I shouldn't use a weight disbursement hitch (it could bend the frame) but I should use a sway type hitch. But I was also told that the wt disbursement hitch is ok as long as you stay within the weight limits of the trailer...Confused3.7KViews0likes12CommentsWheelbase ratio
Thanks for the response regarding the used RV. I have another question regarding the wheelbase ratio with the length of the RV. I have been told that this really affects the ride, and that the best ratio is between 56% and up. Anything less than say 54% and sway becomes more evident. Is this true, particularly with older RVs?...All info is appreciated. Thanks, Vincent1.7KViews0likes6Comments1996 itasca suncruiser 32' w/ ford 460
My wife has some medical issues and we can no longer RV with our trailer, but need to get a class A. Price is an issue. I am looking (just looking) at 1996 Itasca 32' Suncruiser with the Ford 460 and with about 61,000 miles. I have not yet driven it. The floor plan and room for medical equipment fits our needs very well. I have several questions but mainly is this a reliable engine and motorhome and how is the ride? I would appreciate all comments. I am really trying to stay around 25k if possible. Is there some other Class A someone might recommend. Thank You, Vincent2.2KViews0likes6Comments
