i am happy to see more on the Gladiators.
we need to start a canopy camper thread to bounce ideas and what works off each other.

Damn, that is impressive, has to be about 32', towing with a MaxTow!....Jack
Impressive? I dont share that opinion. We're in the market for a camper or motorhome and honestly dont see how some of these guys are pulling these campers in an underweight, short wheelbase gladiator. Just because you can doesnt mean you should. I really want someone to convince me that you can control a 30' camper at highway speeds. To me it seems the tail would wag the dog instead of the dog wagging the tail. A 20-30' camper is what empty? 4500-6500 depending on the brand/make/model and whether or not its dry. Add gear, passengers, fuel, etc and these gladiators have to be maxed out. 35 years of towing experience across this country both privately and commercially has taught me one thing, white knuckle driving is not something I care for. Im not here to bash anyone, to each their own but Id like to really know if anyone thinks that anything beyond 75% of tounge weight and tow capacity is worth it in a gladiator since I rarely venture past 50-60%.
