I have a 2017 Birkshire XL 40BH with towing cap. of 10,000 lbs. I am just looking for any input! We are looking to buy a car and will need tow bar as well. Anyone have any suggestions?

Hello All. First time posting and excited to be picking up a 189DD over the holidays. I was curious by some of the pictures, it appears the fresh water tank is up front under the queen bed. With a 36 gallon capacity at ~249lbs, if you're trying to boondock, given most of that weight will add...

I have a 5 Star Tune on an E450 with a V10. Just got my toad set up to pull. Was wondering if others with the same tune are using tow haul mode always while towing? It seems to me that the Tune is like a close match to the shifting patterns or regular tow haul mode. I was wondering if there...

Hello camper, I was wondering if to pull a trailer of 7600 lbs and 36 feet long with 2018 Ram 1500 equipped with tow parkage (pk 26T) and also wd (equilizer) would be correct? Thank you group!!

Will be picking up a 2021 273qbxl in a few months. About 6,000 dry weight. What trucks should I be looking at?

I have an employee at my work that asked me what I thought of towing without the WD bars for about 2.5 miles. He’s not going on the freeway, and probably won’t exceed 35 mph. He’s picking it up from winterizing. I advised him to NOT do it. What are your thoughts on on this? Thanks!

First, thanks to all who answered my first post, I have been learning a lot. My yellow sticker on the Grand Cherokee says cargo capacity is 1050 lbs, a lot lower than I expected. I weighed the vehicle at the CAT scale with just me and a full tank of gas. The GVWR is 6500 on the yellow...

Hey Everyone, I'm new here to this Forums and looking to see who is towing a Front Deck PUP with a half-ton. Are you guys using WDH? I'm pretty sure a 232ESP has a deck capacity of 650LBS(total of 861LBSCCC), how much of that transfers to the tongue weight? Who has weighed there set up with an...

Need some advice from the experienced towing group. I understand the basic GVWR, CCC,UVW and such, albeit, I remain confused. I reviewed the posts on this forum about towing with an Xterra, but are dated. Also reviewed a Xterra forum…..nonetheless I remain confused. I would like to be...

Hi. I have a newF350 Dually and currently pull a 5th wheel. My wife loves 5th wheels due to storage. She is having a harder time getting up and down the steps. Mostly down. We like the stability of the 5th wheel when towing but I am talking with her about a Travel Trailer. My question is this...

Has anyone ever used a toad behind their DX3?

"Towing Golf Cart Behind 5th Wheel". Has anyone done that? I see 5th wheels going down the interstate more and more towing another trailer whether it is a utility trailer like ours hauling a golf cart or motorcycles, side-by-side, fishing boat or pontoon. We had a 2017 KZ Durango 336ret...

I have a 2017 F150 that pulls our Flagstaff trailer and that is capable of being flat towed. We are considering purchasing a gas Class C and are researching whether we can tow our F-150. Is anyone towing an F150 with a Class C on a gas Ford 450 chassis either with #5000 or #7000 tow capacity...

Okay, I understand that the topic of towing a trailer behind your TT is extremely sensitive hah. I am in Texas and it is legal to double tow. I understand that it will void my frame warranty. My trailer: 2018 230BHXL Wildwood X-lite Tow Vehicle: Nissan Armada I fish kayak tournaments and want...

the max length in texas is 65 ft. does anyone have any suggestions what truck to pull, how long a camper and boat should be to stay at the max length ?

Hello all, we are in line to purchase a 19 (or possibly a 21) and had decided to buy a low-mileage 2017 or 2018 Highlander with the towing package as our tow vehicle. We have just been told by a mechanic that the Highlander transmission is not robust enough for extended towing. This confused...

We are picking up our 2507s in 10 days. This is our first camper. My husband just had surgery and can’t drive. The dealer is 2 hours away. Should i be concerned? Is it hard to tow a camper? Thank you!

Looking at buying a Rockwood Geo Pro 19FD, wondering if my 2016 Tacoma TRD V6 4 x 4 can handle it? I live in Colorado so it’ll be towing on hills, some of them pretty steep passes. I know gas mileage will suck but does anyone know if it can handle tongue wt 412lbs, 3050 UVW and CCC at 1250lbs...

I have a Leprechaun 260DS on the Ford E450 chassis. Been flat towing a 2013 Honda CRV for the last three years. It works great for this purpose. Weight about 3200 lbs. and really the only time I feel it behind me is in the mountains. I need more room and a pick up bed. Have been considering a...

My husband and i are purchasing a travel trailer. We both camped growing up but have no experience in towing or setting up camp. We have a 2019 Ram Rebel Crew cab 5.7 V8 3.92 rear axle ratio short bed. We do not understand what to look for in weights and lengths of campers. We have searched...

We have a 2017 Forester 2861DS on the E-450 chassis with the V-10 engine and I have been searching everywhere for someone who flat tows their H2 behind a Forester (or similar) and more importantly if it is even possible to do so safely, especially around the mountainous roads where we live. I...

My truck produces it’s maximum torque at just under 4,000 RPM. Is that the engine speed (RPM) I should be running at while climbing?

I only ask because I am trying to find the correct forum for all things towing. To clarify I read an article in AUG 2020 issue of Motorhome Magazine titled "The Ultimate Dinghy" Excellent article. It discusses the Motorhome Weight Information Decal. In my case hidden discreetly in the back...

Hey travel lovers, I just bought 2021 Vibe 17DB, 3700 lb. dry weight. We asked around a lot about our Sequoia being up to the job and everyone said it was! It was not! It did fine in the valleys but at a slight elevation, climbing a mountain the Sequoia just fizzled and the rest of the day was...
