Last weekend we signed to buy a Shasta Oasis 18BH travel trailer. Specs are 21'9" long, dry weight around 3200 lbs, and tongue weight about 350lbs. GVWR is about 3850lbs. It's a single axle with 205-75-14 tires.I went to the dealer last night to loo...
Just a bit of background:This spring we upgraded our trailer from a 16' Scotty to a 29' Shasta. My tow vehicle is a 2003 Toyota Sequoia 4.7L. Never had a towing issue with the Scotty paired with the Sequoia. However, the Shasta and Sequoia don't seem...
Yesterday we signed the papers for a '15 Shasta Oasis 25BH. Some of my particulars:Trailer: 530lbs dry hitch weight, 4300lbs UVWTV: 2003 Toyota Sequoia w/a 6200 tow capacity I told the dealer I'd supply the WDH and they'd install it when the trailer ...

Here's my upgraded tow monster we bought Friday. We went form an '03 Toyota Sequoia to this '09 GMC Sierra 2500 HD. Towing our 29' Shasta has now become much more enjoyable. The Sequoia's 118" wheel base didn't fare well with the length of the Shasta...
Deal is done! We're now the owners of a 2009 GMC Sierra SLE 2500HD. 6.0L V8 with the 6 speed transmission. It's got the 3.73 gear, so my tow capacity drops down to 9900 lbs, but still that's twice as much as I'll need for the Shasta. Payload is in th...
Tonight I looked at a 2009 GMC Sierra 2500HD at a local dealer. Pretty impressed! It's got 121K miles and is in really good shape. Power was really good and after a few spirited accelerations, I have no doubt it would handle my Shasta with ease, even...
