Show us what you tow.

I'm not sure I can even explain it. All I know is that my brain can process the mechanics of the movement!
I also back in the traditional manner, right arm on the back of the passenger seat, turned around looking out the rear window.

By concentrating on the hitch, i instinctively know which way to turn the wheel in order to make the hitch go in the direction I want.

Yup. Pretty sure that made no sense at all!!!

 

Thanks for trying to explain. I guess everybody uses the method that works for them. I look forward using my mirrors to look down the sides of the camper with my hand on the bottom of the steering wheel. Slow so only minor corrections are required. Tell the wife to show me it goes and use her as aim point.
Don't think she knows that.

 

Hahaha!

 

We actually told the uhaul place to write down that I had a tundra

 

Just picked up my 2016 Ski Doo Summit 146" track with 2.5" paddle. Now waiting on the snow. This truck was NOT meant to tow. I got 80 miles to a half tank. But it looked so good doing it!

 

Backing up a single axle just takes practice. Over time you get better. I was terrible at first and then after the first season a can whip that camper around like crazy

 

For the teardrop crowd...
Added a LED tv with DVD built in. And the under cabinet baskets for shoes to keep them out of the elements.

 

Curious, what year/brand name is your vintage camper?

 

Me? This is a 2013 Little Guy Rough Rider Off Road

kewl. I looked at those a bit but my wife pushed me into this...



wife is smart. having your own bathroom rocks.

I still wanna put a lift kit on it and bigger wheels, so it will go over dirt roads a little better.

 

We considered Scamps and Casitas too. Where we go, ain't no one else around, so woods bathroom is no big deal.

 

Pulled an Acura RDX from southern cali to northern Nevada yesterday...trailer weighed right at 6k and pulled fine but the truck struggled a bit over the Sierras on hwy 88. Just went slow and steady and we did fine. I think it helped a lot that I have a 6 speed.

 

49' boom lift weighing just over 5,000lbs. Wouldn't want to tow it on the highway without a weight distribution hitch. (I'm running Dakars with the 3rd leaf removed)

 

Well done.

 

That thing rules!

 

This gets dragged behind the truck about 4-5000 km per year. Estimated 2500 - 3000 lbs, tows great but it really works the engine in the hills. Averages 14.5L/100km (16 m/USgal) when towing. Racks on the truck are for my rooftop tent.
