What kind of camper do you have?

Correct me if i'm wrong but didn't Burro make those for U-Haul?

 

@scottfarm
which model/length is it?

 

For you guys with slide-in campers or trailers, I LOVE my ProEFX mirrors and they have been the best mod I have done to my truck to handle the camper, with the exception of the new suspension.

Definitely worth considering if you are having visibility problems. Just a reminder for those new to towing who maybe haven't seen the product before.

 

It's a 2016 Flagstaff Micro lite 21fbrs. It has a great layout. We are retired and camp for a week once a month.

mirrors up.

 

@scottfarm

Are you monitoring trans temp...if so how,

 

I use a scan guage. It gives me a reading at the pan and a reading at the torque converter.

 

what are your normal trans temps when towing...I tow a little larger trailer than yours...I tow a KZ Sportsman 244BH, 6000# loaded...just wondering what to look for, for temp readings when towing...oh and I have a 2013 DCSB...

 

At 55mph I run 165 degrees. At 60 I run 172 degrees. In stop and go traffic it goes up to 185 degrees.

 

You'll love the area. Lived in Asheville for 10 years. Bought a 3 acre property and house @ 20 mins south in Hendersonville a few years back and love it even more (but I'm older now with kids so I like the quiet even more now). Hit me up on your way through and we will hit up 12 Bones for ribs and good Asheville Porter! Seriously!

 

Just picked up this Cricket Sport trailer. Looking forward to this summer...

 

Thats a neat looking camper! What's the specs? Any pictures of the inside?

 

Sorry for the late reply for all of you asking about my UHaul camper. For those of you interested in it, I wrote an article about it, which was published in the Jan/Feb 2015 issue of CoolTears Magazine.

My Tacoma (4 cyl / AT) handles the camper just fine. I keep the speed at 60 mph and in third gear. The only issue I have is on steep inclines - could use more power. The camper weights in at roughly 1250 pounds.

No, Burro didn't make these campers for UHaul. UHaul hired a company out of Ohio to build most of the campers for them. The Burros are very similiar in design.

 

Ill try and get some interior pics up eventually. Meanwhile google "Cricket Sport Trailer" and look at the image search. Lots of pics inside.

Trailer is still pretty rare. Especially in the Northeast. Weighs only about 1500 lbs. Designed by ex-NASA engineer who worked on interior architecture of the space station. Very efficient use of space. Can house 2 adults and 2 children comfortably. Designed for off the grid use with an efficient 12V system and solar hook ups. Also recharges while towing it.

 

here is my fiberglass rv 1975 trillium

 

NICE!

E.A.G.L.E.S....!

 

Was there when i bought it,it will be there when i sell it. (don't use it enough to justify keeping it around)

 

Escape in the snow
