What kind of camper do you have?

Great thread guys! Im looking to pick up a smaller TT and wasnt sure about trailer weight. Looking at units similar to the Jayco SLX185 and the Palomini 179BHS, both are right around the 2800lbs mark dry. The mtns and altitude here in CO are my biggest concern - I have a bunch of experience towing, but its with diesels and 5th wheels...so this should an interesting switch. Im thinking I'll be fine and Im normally not in a hurry when Im towing. Cheers!

 

We have been back and forth trying to decide on 17 ft. toy hauler or the Lance 1475
after looking at both the quality of the Lance 1475 just blew us away...the salesman let me see the roof,The construction of the roof is like nothing I seen before. Attention to detail everywhere. Once my boat is Sold I can get the camper. The Lance weighs in at #2500 dry the box is 15' 10" long

 

That one takes the cake! Heated tanks and all!

 

We love our A-Liner Expedition. Perfect size for my wife and two dogs. Under 2300lbs dry. Tows like a dream. Roof goes up in under 2 minutes. The couch folds out into a queen bed, potty for the wife and an outdoor shower. At 6'3" and 250lbs I don't really fit into showers that come in most RV/TT so we just make a trip to the campground showers or use the outdoor shower when off grid.

 

what mode Aliner is that?

 

It's the Expedition model.

 

Very nice! Lance makes great products

 

Just bought this: 2014 Starcraft 183. 3 bed hybrid. Weighs 4000 dry.

 

looking into buy a toy hauler new or used any tips when looking at them? we are thinking about getting 24 to 28 foot hauler.

 

"You're going to need a bigger truck", To tow that size of a camper

 

I loved the minnie micro's but I went up on roof of couple...all of them had where the rubber roof was lifting and coming loose with humps and bumps. Keep an eye on yours

 

Just bought a Jayco J Series Sport. Have not used it yet. Can't wait to get out.

 

size and specs? pics? looking for one within the year or two.

 

Here is my 2015 Micro-lite Cargo lite that I had them do a few custom things when they built it.

850lbs empty

 

2016. 10sd. Wanted used, but I could not beat the price. Only weighs 1800 pounds. Sleeps 6.

 

Man you guys had me so worried about the camper I got and towing with my taco. The dry weight is just about 2900. 3200 fully loaded. Pulled it from Denver to Utah over the divide. I wasn't winning any raced but the taco did great. Super pumped for more camping trips!

 

what model is that? hows the inside space?

 

Palomini 179bhs (off road so it's lifted) it has two bunks in the back but kids only. Also has a slide which really helps with the room.

Queen up front. Water closet is a little small but otherwise is too notch. Loved it

 

only kids in the bunk or that just the top one due to weight? slide out convert to a bed also?
