So, what is everybody towing?

[Bantam]

An older Coleman pop up. It’s going to need some work, and I’ve been daydreaming of upgrading someday.

This week? 20’ culverts.

Almost 65 & loaded them off the ground by myself.

Delivering them to a rough part of the ranch to meet a bulldozer &. Cement truck for a small bridge.

Right now it would be a magnet for a Jeep challenge.

But we subdivided some land for sale & not every potential Land buyer owns a Jeep.

Hey, whatever it takes to drive the Jeep.

And yes, I am extending the tail lights to the end of the overhanging load & picking up bag cement for tongue weight.

That’s 2 of these same campers in the last two pages of this thread. Curious- what is the draw? I’m not well informed about travel trailers so any info is appreciated

I can’t speak for @GlockStar66, but I can tell you what influenced my decision. I love the floor plan - it has a couch rather than a dinette; it has a full-size queen bed; it uses a medium-sized, 12v (rather than gas/electric, which I hate) fridge; and it has a dry bath with porcelain toilet. I also like the fact that mine has a decent-sized galley with an oven. The higher clearance and the Torsion Axle suspension are huge factors, too. Finally, just like the Winnebago Hike that I like so much, the G19FBS has a fully functional interior even when the slide is not extended. If I want to pull over in a rest stop or parking lot to take a break, the trailer is good to go without having to extend anything.

I really like the layout of your trailer. Mine, yeah if we stop for a potty break, I need to extend the slide out about a foot to get to the bathroom (dry like yours) but I can live with that. The only thing I don't like about your layout is the bed position. Yours is across the front. Mine is in the front too but, fore and aft so there is space to walk either side. For me this is a good thing as I do get up a couple times a night to go pee and my wife sometimes once so, no fumbling over one or the other

I agree with you about the E/W bed vs the N/S bed layout! Although it’s a PITA to make, I do like the fact that I can watch TV from the bed pretty easily! I wish the Winnebago Hike 170S had the 12v fridge and a couch (as opposed to the gas/electric fridge and the dinette). I actually prefer the look of the Hike, its narrow body, and its substantially lower tongue weight.

We selected the 19FBS for the same reasons. Our kids are grown so it’s just my wife and me.

Just curious about what is on the road behind our JT's.

Here is what I am pulling.

Moby1 Off road trailer. Pretty loaded up and only around 2500lbs (32 water tank empty)...

NICE Lookin RIG!!! I'm only pullin this!

 

[Bulldog10]

i just pulled the boat out of storage to move it around then back in ... but i just to say it looks good with a boat...lol
its way to heavy to stop,,,,,but it pulls it with easy..

That's Almost "MIAMI VICE" material!!

 

[Raton Pass]

Double axles ?

Talk about a gravy job.

Toss this under your inflated tire next to the flat & move your rig a foot or two.

I do not know if you guys with off-road tandems could use it or if they make one for your application.

Hope the picture and Word Doc will help in the selection of what type of Gladiator and trailer to match up. Based on actual numbers on the report. I had the Gladiator before I bought the 16' Airstream. I would have chosen a Sport S with "Max Tow" for my tow truck.

 

[KVJ]

I like that Airstream trailer, it looks perfect with your truck.
