We’ve taken our brand new 22’ Jayflight for a few short trips. We didn’t get the towing package, so we had to install the class IV receiver, and a third party brake controller. Total weight is around 3500 lbs fully loaded. No problems at all. Maintains 70 on highway without excessive heat. Good acceleration and braking.

I’m not going to think about the mileage...

I'm averaging 11 mpg on the interstate while pulling my travel trailer at 65 mph. What about you?

I was looking at those Retro RV's. What do you think about yours?
It's still new - I've taken it out only once. It tows like a dream (of course, the R135 weighs <3,000#, so that's to be expected!). I like the layout and I love the service from the dealer I used.

Ok, who was southbound on I-65 near Mobile, AL dragging the Airstream yesterday (Nov 8, 19)? I hurt my neck trying to get a second look at your rig.

End of the season haul home after shrink wrap. 19’ Whaler Nantucket with a Mercury 2 stroke Optimax 150. Fun little boat to chase the fish around.

My intention is to tow this once a year from storage to our campsite in May and then back in October. It weighs 6400lbs. I may remove the two batteries and propane tanks to reduce the tongue weight. I have an Equalizer WD hitch. Fingers crossed :)

I have no idea what a Nobo is, how long it is, or what it weighs. Ah, well.

I have modified the hitch on the trailer that I built for my lifted CJ7 and plan to do some backcountry travels with the Gladiator.

My plan is to tow my buggy. Was playing around with positioning the load ..that’s why the truck is down in the rear.
