Thanks

It towed like a champ. No issues with Power, Braking or handling.
Gas mileage,...... well, I did not check, but I got there and back on 1 tank with some to spare on a little over 4hrs total drive time in some very hilly areas which is almost 200 miles exactly from where I live. I could do some math to figure it out. I can probably help that with some more manual shifting which I started to do on the way there. It actually pulls fine at 3000 rpms but the auto wants it to be higher and in a lower gear more often. As other stated, its not needed and works fine.

In Summary, my setup is a success for my needs and I am happy

Picked up our nobo 19.3 on Friday! 4200 dry. Close to 6k loaded I’m sure.

Removed the rhino rack from the roof of the nobo and moved it to the truck due to the fact that the roof of the nobo is already over 10feet and we need the rack to carry our mountain bikes. Grabbed 3 trek bikes a couple weeks ago. Got the wife and myself Merlin 4s and the boy a pre-caliber. Been an expensive couple weeks lol.
Have the bike racks coming via amazon tomorrow.
Never thought loading 3 bikes with an rv in tow would be a big deal but i went back and forth for days trying to figure out how to take the bikes along without spending another grand.
The trailer has no hitch so we thought about having one welded on but that was going to reduce ground clearance so no go there
Then I saw the tongue mounted Units and was like that’ll work! Then thought to myself do I want to add another 150lbs on the tongue ??” Rack and 3 bikes has to be close to that”.. soo no go there
Then I was like well the trailer has a roof rack ? Why not just toss them up there? Uh no I’m not going to be that guy who has his roof ripped open via a low branch or worse a bridge!!
So I moved the rack to the truck and will use the base on the camper for more solar if I decide to add more, there is currently 190watts on the roof. I don’t see us needing more then that right away.

Nice setup!

No worries I use the JT at least 3 times a week for work and with the RTT. Its gonna get a ton of love.

Nice setup!

Wanted to buy this tt last year but the factory burnt down!! So we settled on a 26djse. After a summer with that we were not impressed and it was too big so while looking for a bike rack for that trailer I stumbled across the 19.3 in stock at camping world lol. Most expensive bike rack on the planet haha

 

[Elff]

isn't that how it works out.
LOL

You can use your existing rhino racks with 2-3 fork-mount bike racks. That's how I carry my bikes and still able to use the bed space
and able to close bed cover. Well, my racks are not rhino tho.
Oh yeah, VERY expensive 19.3 bike rack!!! Happy camping!

Bed is filled with decked system. Can still use the top of decked system/bed space. Just not with the bikes on. The rhino is a quick release with locking key caps.

First "heavy" tow for the Gladiator. It did ok, but I missed my 3/4. The Redarc brake controller worked great.

Towing a 2021 Jayco 264BH here. ~4700 dry, probably right at 6000 lbs loaded

How does this tow? I've recently been looking at a new TT, but need bunks. This is one and the 224BH look very appealing. I'm in North West Montana, so I would be pulling some hills and a pass or two.
