What kind of travel trailer????

[C-Money]

We just purchased this model from Broadmore RV. I think this link is for a dealership in Pennsylvania. We like this camper. We did not want any slide outs. We needed bunks, and more room. Ours has a heavy duty rack on the back, and an outside kitchen that will be perfect to use for cleaning fish and game. Has 2 refrigerators. We paid a little more for ours vs this add, I figure due to additional freight charges, rack and outside kitchen. Broadmore was ok at best. Felt like herded cattle there, as they have lots of customers and it felt like not much time to spend with you. With a good sway bar hitch, I think the Tundra should be ok with this RV.

I had a 17 foot Bigfoot for a few years. I loved that unit and sold it for about the same price I paid for it. I used it to camp at ski resorts. It is a true  4 seasons trailer. Some claim that they will do ok in freezing weather but I would see those guys leaving Crystal ski resort early due to frozen tanks and pissed off wives. I do like the extra room of slides and if I was to purchase again I would consider that option. If you are going to camp in freezing weather just make sure that the unit can handle it and the manufactures warranty will back that up if you have broken lines due to freezing.

43ft toyhauler. lots of room, hauler section for my birddogs. downside is height. restricts travel routes with bridges and tunnels (like hyw14 north side of Columbia), cant run it! have to plan. other dislike is that pre-scouting your landing in back country~ ever try to turn around a tractor trailer? can really suck!
otherwise I love my trailer~!
when I go off the grid, I have a 3rd battery for over night draw of heating system, I find it necessary when temps drop to 20's as heater kicks on often and drains batteries, more than once had to jump the gen set in morning!

Remote control jack, stabilizers, and awning are really nice as well. I did not think I would ever need those features until I got them, man, its nice!

My tundra is not one of the new fancy ones that can tow an airplane and the hanger all at once. It's not really a power house. I don't think I could get away with much more than a 30ft at the max. I really have to make my choice depending on weight. I would like to sleep 6 as I know my girls are going to want to bring friends at some point and I want to make sure we can do that. The Nash trailers have been catching my eye for a long time.

We got a 25' Keystone Sprinter, big 10' slide out.  It sleeps 4.  Our thing was we like a good size bathroom.  Some of these bathrooms in these trailers are made for kids not adults.  Our bathroom is in the back of the trailer and the width of the trailer and about 5' out from back.  We have a Ram 2500 with a hemi.  Rule of thumb is you want to tow no more then 80% of your max tow capacity of your truck.  That is max weight of the trailer too.  Most trailers when you buy them will give you the dry weight and fully recommended load weight. 

When we got the trailer I had a 2007 Ford F150 5.4 Trident.  It pulled the trailer fine just didn't like the feel when pulling it.  Max tow on my truck was 9600 and dry weight of the trailer was just under 7000lbs.  Full recommeded load weight on the trailer was 9200lbs.  So I was pushing the truck for sure.

Just one thing about slides. If your using them when it really cold outside, you're gonna have a hard time keeping it warm inside. I lived in one in Black Diamond and Moses Lake for 3 years working, so I know what I'm talking about. For a week, just bring lotsa propane.

Summers were great in it.

I had this issue with my last trailer.

My new trailer has more of a frame on the slides, not just a gasket, but a thick insulated frame. 
I have 3 slides and have no issues keeping it warm.  The only thing I notice is the floor of the slides are colder.

I didn't see any improvement in some of the entry level models.

We have a 2011 F150 Lariat SCREW 4x4 EcoBoost Max Tow and it has north of 11K in tow capacity.  3.73 gears, heavy duty everything coolers, brake controller, extendable mirrors and I believe additional braking.  I ditched the six-plies right after we got it and replaced them w/ten plies because I didn't like the way it felt when towing.  I always run ten plies had them on our '03 F150 FX4 Lariat SCREW 4x4 w/5.4 Triton & tow package (3.55 gears) and it towed the same toy hauler fine, but it didn't have near the tow rating the new truck does so I was particularly careful not to overheat the brakes on long descents.  IIRC it had a tow rating of 7,400lbs.

Those EcoBoost Fords can tow that is for sure.

Just make sure your truck is setup to tow. I had a 2010 F150 Crewcab 4.6 and was not made for towing. It overheated, derated the engine power. It was a stupid highway truck only. I got rid of it...

Cory, you can tow a 20ft trailer, that trailer you have weighs as much as a modern 20ft trailer with slides. If you want to know for sure, go down to Stubblefield recycling with your old one and weigh that sucker
