Hello to all! New guy here in the forums and towing. Here's my situation and I hope I can get a good answer before I buy. I have a 2002 Yukon SLE 4.8L V8 with a 3.73 axle. I need to go from Ft. Benning, Ga (Columbus, GA) to Ft. Huachuca, AZ (Sierra Vista, AZ) this October, it is approximately 1750 miles and plan on doing 300-350 miles a day. I have 5 days authorized for travel but can take afew more if needed. I am planning on being there for 6 months for school and then back.
I am looking at a used 2005 28RSDS for 15,800 with all tow package included (hitch, stabilizer/anti-sway/brakes...the works). The Keystone Outback 28RSDS says to be 5520 lbs /length 29'. This is from a dealer. NADA pricing has it from 14,670-17,680.
First off is this a good price? I checked out the model first hand and it looks great! Second and most important...can I tow this TT with my vehicle?
Length of TV (2002 Yukon) is 199", GW 6800 lbs, wheel base 116", 275 HP, max tow capacity of 6800 lbs. I will be travelling dry with just some uniforms and gear...not too much in weight. Is this possible?
Second is a 2005 Keystone Zeppelin Z 301 with a weight of 5100 lbs, length of 30' for 13,000. This is from a private party...is this a reasonable price? NADA has it from 11,880-14,470. The owner says it is completely kitted out.
I have been told yes, I can pull the Outback and no, that I can't. I have been researching this subject for weeks now and really need the ground truth on pulling this vehicle or the Zeppelin.
I plan on living in the TT for 6 months and do need the room, that is why I am opting for a 30 footer.
Please...I would love to hear some expert opinions, because to tell the truth...I am a newbie when it comes to this. I have 5 travel days to get there, so i don't plan on driving fast. Any opinions are greatly appreciated! Thanks
