Hello everyone !, it has been a min or two sense last on here !. thought i would drop by and say hello to all old and new members !. i am not even sure if this is the correct section to post this ?, but i figured i'd give it a shot. some might remember me having an older TT, 1992 fleetwood wilderness, 22ft i think it was ?, it was time to ditch it, was too big for me to take into the deer woods, and was turning into a money pit.
I own a 2000 chevy siverado, 2wd, reg cab, reg bed, 5.3L engine, tow package. with WD i could pull up to 10k, but we all know this is not intended for a TT sticking 10ft or more in the air !. then you toss in my 2003 trx450fm foreman in the truck bad, yes, it was doable ?, i just did not like the idea of this much weight on my truck.
So, i broke down and purchased a brand new 2021 18rd, sunlite classic, love it !. if you are single, or just a couple, maybe 2 kids ?, this camper is top notch !. if my memory is still decent ?, it think its a tad over 2k pounds empty, maybe around 2200-2400 lbs ?. regardless, it does not weigh anything like my old camper.
Yes i do have a WD hitch i kept from my old camper, it was like brand new, rated for 10k, 1k spring bars, 1k on ball i believe ?. only problem i may have is the drop down, in order to get my new camper level after i put my 4-wheeler in the truck bed, i have to flip the drop down, as to where the longer leg of it is facing down, and i do not like this one bit !. i will mess with it more later on, and see if i need a different length ?. or maybe go to 15 inch tires ?, i do not think i can run 15 inch tires, because the fender wells do not give me much room at all !.
Other than this problem, i am really enjoying my new camper. if the pics post in this post ?, here is some pictures of it the day i brought it home at the first of dec 2020.
