Re: New guy with towing question.
Benk. In last post I stated my TV weight of 6040# with 36gal of fuel,and couple hundred pounds of stuff in the backseat. That only leaves me with 1160#. The TT sits at 7406# with no propane/battery. Definitely pushing boundaries with TV. I have seen the light. Just not sure if I'm smart enough not to buy the rig. Now I have to think about trading in the TV.458Views0likes0CommentsRe: New guy with towing question.
I often find myself in a hotel or apt. for a couple months at a time, a few times throughout the year for work. I am mainly off work during the summer. There are campgrounds in the vacinity of almost all our job sites. Ten yes ago I owned a 21'scamper. Used it for 5mo.on a job. Sold it. Felt like I was in jail. Always wanted another one. Was looking at a rockwood ultralight 2703ws emerald. truck would have no issue. Now this Denali, better suited towards the colder weather, I can't quit looking at. I would be primary user for most of the year with no more than a couple hundred miles at best being traveled at a time. Minimal gear. Than for the summer I would park it at a local lake for use with the Mrs.and little one. Not wanting to replace the truck immediately but the trailer at an incredible price won't be there forever. Thanks for the knowledgeable info. Just went to the scale. Me,full tank of gas,about 250# worth of stuff in the backseat. 6040#. Limit for truck is 7200#.458Views0likes0CommentsNew guy with towing question.
Opinions wanted. I have a '2012 f150, 145"wb. ecoboost, 9400#tow cap. Gvwr 7200#,1660# max payload. Looking to buy a Denali Dutchman 289RK. Unloaded 7436#, 2244# cargo cap. 33'8" length. 933# hitch wt. Looking for opinions if its a safe combo. Not really looking for the half ton three quarter ton debate. I know the trailer is on the bigger size. Thanks for taking the time to help.4KViews0likes20Comments
