Re: Trading Up...TV Advice?
Thanks for the replies! I definitely need something larger, I think. Yeah, I looked a little over the weekend, and I am leaning toward a Tahoe/ Suburban. The extra storage space in the rear may put the 'burban on top! I really liked the Expedition (the third row seat is more user friendly), but the guy at the dealership kept calling the "Dinosaurs" and telling me that Ford was not putting much into them these days.....399Views0likes0CommentsRe: Trading Up...TV Advice?
Yeah, but with two young kids, I think the day to day livability of an SUV would fit my needs better then a truck. My kids will get bigger and bigger, and we already fill the Highlander....LOL! I need room for friends, family, dog, etc....lol. I am thinking about eeeking a few more years out of the Highlander and the possibility of buying a used something just for towing, but not sure I want the maintenance.... But with the health issues, I am hesitant to give up camping, they need the memories! And then, if I can tow more RV, I would probably want to BUY more RV! Does it ever stop? LOL!!!257Views0likes0CommentsRe: For those of you that have kids or have already raised kids
We live on the East Coast (and I mean ON the Atlantic!) I am waiting for my kids to get a little older (so they remember it); I want to take them out west to see all the "Americana" Sites (Rushmore, Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, Glacier, Arches, Moab, Ghost Towns...) and the Pacific Ocean. (I've always wondered if it looked different than our ocean, silly, I know!) I. cant. wait!338Views0likes0CommentsRe: Jayco or Primetime?
CGFamOf8 wrote: I double checked the Jayco website and it actually says that the Whitehawk 32dsbh has a CC of 1610. Wouldn't we be able to keep about 1,000 lbs in our van if payload is 2,315 lbs? I know my family won't get over 600 lbs. combined, a full gas tank from my google search would be about 168 lbs...we would have a payload of about 1,768 lbs. (with maxed out gas and passenger weight). We are taking the entire 4th row out and I'm not sure the exact weight but I'm betting it's around 150 lbs or more. Wouldn't that compensate for the lower carrying capacity of the TT? After having owned 4 trailers, I learned the hard way, if you have to calculate the weight of every last pound, you don't have enough tow rig. Just my Opinion... Have you thought about a bus and a Toad?680Views0likes0CommentsTrading Up...TV Advice?
Hi all! I'm back under another name because I have no access to my old email addresses! lol! Looking for advice from those of you "in the know". A little background. It is just myself and two young girls (7 and 4)and a dog. We currently have a 2016 Jayco Pop up, that, due to health reasons, will not be able to use much longer. Thought about trading up to a hybrid, but decided a smaller-ish TT would be better for us in the long run. I had a 27 Sunline before, so I am familiar with them. I saw these at an RV show, but don't have my heart set on them: Keystone Outback 210 URS (Ship Weight + CC= 7000lbs) http://www.keystonerv.com/outback/#/floorplans and Spree Connect C231 BHS (GV 6000 lbs) http://www.kz-rv.com/products/spree-connect-travel-trailers/C231BHS.html As luck would have it my little Toyota Highlander is nearing the end of its lifespan, so I need a new vehicle anyway. With the TTs I'm looking at, the smaller SUVs that only tow 5,000lbs would not work. I was looking at the Grand Cherokee, with its Tow Rating of 7200lbs, but I am concerned about the wheelbase? Would that be a safe tow with these trailers? (I can only find people who tow their boats with them). This will be my Daily Driver as well, so I don't really want to go Pick Up. I am not to familiar with the BIG SUVs, but would like to stay on the medium size if possible....What would y'all suggest?4.4KViews0likes25Comments
