8-900 lbs is no more than if U asked 3 budz to go on a beer run

Braking is the other Factor never discussed when towing
while there are many factors
the Enginners also consider weight / Stopping Distances !!

 

Bro I figured I’d come over and check out your threads, how has the trailer been so far? Have you been able to use it much? I’m picking one up on Friday in Bozeman, MT. Excited to get it out into the woods.

 

trailer is awesome - haven’t got to use it as much as I’d like due to the covid situation and the rain in Washington. We got a toddler and a 4 month old so the trailer is perfect for even day trips with the kids. They can Lounge in there (got a RV king mattress) while I do other things.
I installed a climateright 2500 ac to it and run it with a generator for the hot days to keep the kids and wife happy.

that’s sweet! What kind are you grabbing?

 

When we went to the lake the other week

 

Man that’s awesome, I can’t wait to spend some time out with ours. We’re getting an ITW overland Boreas MXT. The wife wanted a camper with a shower for post bike ride and we dig it. Built right here in Denver. It was wedding or camper and she chose camper haha. Works for me!

 

that’s awesome; the color is amazing.

I feel that - we decided to remodel the kitchen with the money we were going to spend on the wedding .... worth it IMO lol.

is the first trip Montana then?

 

Haha money well spent, weddings are damn expensive. I’d rather spend it on shit that I enjoy.

The trailer is located at a dealership in Montana. Due to covid the manufacturer is running way behind and won’t have any others until August. Last one for sale was in Montana so I gotta make the trip.

 

That's going to be a nice drive tho if you're in no rush to get back to CO. Plus, you'll have a way to sleep oon the way back anywhere you go.
I'd be curious how much the trailer weighs?

 

Yeah I figure I might stop along the way somewhere cool and camp for the night. It weighs just a hair over 2,000 lbs. I believe that’s without water but it only holds 20 gallons. Should be easy towing with the taco but we’ll see.
