Towing with View Profile
I am considering a Winni View Profile (24G). Will I have a problem towing a Polaris Ranger and trailer up some serious western highways. My guess would be 1100# for Ranger and 900# for trailer. 2,000# total. ! (I weigh 240, my wife 120 - secret, and my dog 70)3KViews0likes10CommentsRe: Dexter HD Suspension & EZ-Flex Install (long w/ pictures)
GREAT job with the how-to! I installed shocks on my Nash 25S. Sure keeps things where they belong inside the trailer!!!!! One of my trailer repair techs (not the sharpest knife in the drawer) said thet were useless. Boy was he wrong! The little things can make a BIG difference. Oh yeah, on my Nash 25S they are offered as an option so I simply called to get the model shock - and ordered a set. A BOLT on! Yeah.489Views0likes0CommentsRe: Diesel vs gas......................
NO comparison. Diesel is the tow vehicle. Here is my direct comparison: 1- 2004 Chevy Taho pulling a 5,000 TT. Pulled a local 7% grade at 37mph tops. 2- 2005 Dodge Ram Cummins pulled this same trailer at 74mph up the same grade. Comparison #2: 1- 2004 Chevy Taho pulling the same trailer averaged 8-10 mpg. 2- 2005 Dodge Ran pulling the same trailer averaged 11-14 mpg. Comparison #3: 1- 2004 Chevy Taho non-towing gas mileage was 14-18 2- 2005 Dodge Cummins non-towing mileage was 16-21 Of course the diesel will last 350,000 miles and still have much better resale value. Nuf said? Lastly, this same 2005 Dodge Ram now pulls my new HitchHiker 5th wheeler (around 9,000) up thos same grade at 67mph! Yikes!561Views0likes0Comments
