Re: New to RV'ing, need a new vehicle
Probably with the larger cars like the Expedition and Armada won't fit right in my garage and no space on the driveway for it. I'm trying to do some research on the VW Atlas and Subaru Ascent, which I've found on those forums people are pulling lots of different types. I'm curious why the Jayco Jayfeather X17Z has such a high tongue weight for such a small trailer. I guess a lot of the weight is moved forward in the trailer?611Views0likes0CommentsNew to RV'ing, need a new vehicle
Hey all, So we are looking into getting into camping a bit more and hoping to buy a travel trailer. First step we need to upgrade our vehicle since I'll be using this vehicle as a daily driver I want something sorta comfy and with seats to haul the family around. We were looking at VW Atlas, Highlander or Telluride. The max tow is 5000lb (with tow package and all). (Not looking at pick-ups) We were hoping to get a small hybrid trailer like the Jayco Jayfeather X17Z or Surveyor 191T. These are both around 3300lb. We'd be carrying 4-5 people max in the car + gear. Longest drive would be 4-5 hrs, mostly flat. So I just want to see how realistic this setup would be. We would get all the necessary safety mods like weight distribution, electronic trailer brakes. Anyone else using an SUV to tow a small trailer? Thank you all for the feedback and help in this decision.4.3KViews0likes15Comments
