It was planned, but just getting back from trip abroad and longer than usual affects from Jet Lag dictate a no go...….pic below is how close we got...

Nice!! I’m looking at the 240URS (toy hauler).

I’m soon to be a Gladiator owner and I’ve been eyeballing a Coachmen Apex Ultra Lite 251RBK weighing 5000 dry. 7000 max.
Too big? I won’t be maxing it out and see others here hauling 4500+.

Well, after hauling our 4k trailer around, I like it (the towing/hauling) on the 2 lane roads was good, but highways was a little sketchy (the highway speeds and MPG). I just had to slow it down to 65-70 and everything was a lot less stressful. Your double axle may make a difference. keep me posted. I usually have the bed full too, I have 3 Coleman mini bikes. typically we don't do a lot of Interstate dragging, We head into remote areas with a lot of dirt road. The trailer you see here is a Baja edition, so it has the flipped axles and is all solar equipped. I have gravity filters for water purification so I can fill up at any creek or lake. My limitations are black water holding tank capacity.

I wouldn't. A bad mix of weight, frontal wind resistance, and tongue weight. just my two pennies . . .

ANYONE ELSE GOING THIS WEEKEND?

Just got back from a four month camping trip with my new Gladiator. Camped in Yellowstone, Alaska, Moab, and Nevada.

Didn’t get pic of your trailer.

Also in the plan is a weight distributing hitch AND anti sway bar and a Tekonsha proportional brake controller I have from my RAM 1500 lease.
Found that swapping the blue and black wire on the vehicle side plug of the adapter harness makes it compatible with the JT’s and plugs right in.
When ever I tow anything I don’t go over 70 and we don’t have any long range plans for traveling outside of Michigan yet but I do have Yellowstone and Moab and other out west trips on my bucket list.
There are a couple other APEX models that are about 500 lbs lighter and the smallest/lightest I would go is this.
Coachmen Freedom Express 192RBS weighing in at about 4200lbs.

That one would be more appropriate. I like it. We have a Micro Lite 25KS and love it. We only tow a few miles though. I have a Suburban 2500 for higher weights, distances. Not sure I'd go long distances with it and a JT.

I like the Micro Lite and Mini Lite campers. I usually like Passports as well. Good luck!

Dealer just placed my Gladiator order today. Says delivery in 3 - 4 weeks.’
Hoping to get it before Thanksgiving.
And now I found another RV in between the first 2 I posted here.
Coachman APEX 215RBK @ 4400lbs

My LE did well towing our Starcraft 500 miles to Myrtle beach this summer! Lots of visitors to the campsite as well to check out the ride!

 

[Duke56]

What’s the weight and length of your Starcraft?
What was your MPG towing it?
