    Just picked our Ibex 20 BHS from the dealer yesterday. Towed home over some significant passes without a problem. Weight distribution hitch prevented any rear sag. Scan Gauge II to monitor transmission temps. The newly installed vF tune was a nice upgrade.

    I do miss that 4Runner sometimes, but the Tacoma tows so much better it's ridiculous

    I tried to order the Baja 145 here on the east coast and they are not available, West coast orders only.
    They are nice affordable campers.
    I ended up ordering a Geo Pro 15TB.

    Thanks guys. My wife packs heavy...Very heavy. I swear, she is prepared for the best and worst of any possible situation or weather. With that said, I am thinking that small won't cut it. It saddens me, because I love my Taco.

    We have had our 15TB for about a year now. It's been really good for us. I think you will be happy with it. Post up after you get it and let us know what you think.

    No problems at all for where we've been. The camper comes in dry weight under half of towing capacity. We did go with a weight distribution hitch anyway. Either way don't stress the tow. Just enjoy the camper itself. Really well thought out, and will serve you well. If you haven't been in one prior to ordering, you will be surprised with the amount of room to move around in 15 ft. Finish inside is really good as well. Little more expensive, but I feel it has been worth it. We got the 'off road' package. Not sure what it's capable of yet but looks pretty cool nonetheless. I'm certainly no expert on the rig yet, but will be happy to try to help with any questions when you take delivery.

    Thanks for the information, really helps with the towing stuff.
    Will definitely be using a WDH and I already have a brake controller and Roadmaster Active Suspension system installed.
    The camper should be delivered in a few weeks.
    Thanks again!

    Sweet spot. Towable but enough space for your needs.

    Any chance that last picture was taken at Faver Dykes in St Augustine? It looks just like the campsites there.

    It was actually taken in Anastasia State Park in St Augustine.
    The first pic was at Fort Clinch SP
    We really enjoy going there and looking forward to our trip in March.

    A few pages back, a few people had a Cherokee Wolf Pup 18TO, any complaints? How are they holding up? Did you do any modifications? Anyone else with a Wolf Pup feel free to chime in. Looking at the 18TO & the 16PF.

    I have a Cherokee wolf pup 17b, no mods, works well for us. I did install a weight distribution hitch, that helped a lot.

    Have been looking at that exact travel trailer. I would like to have something that tows easily and can be taken off the pavement on to forest service roads for off-grid camping.

    Can you comment about the towing and mpgs?

    Anything you don't like about it or that has caused you problems?
