Steve, thanks for getting back. I pretty much have to stick with a bumper pull because I have two side by side machines I often take so one goes in the truck bed with the other in my toy hauler. I find that quality wise there is a difference such as cabinets and fit and finish but also...

I am on my second toy hauler which has done quite well but it is only 21 ft. and we are thinking of updating to one with a metal frame, ours is wood, and figured one between 24 and 28 ft. would be about right. It would need at least a 30 gallon fueling station and a 4k generator. We don't dry...

I am on my second toy hauler, both being wood framed and having no problems with them, but am thinking about upgrading to a bit newer and bigger bumper pull toy hauler but would like to go with a metal framed one. The only ones I seem to be able to find are Desert Fox, Lance and Hobbi but the...

I couldn't find much with a threat search comparing different types and brands of after market TPM systems. I am thinking a system for my tow vehicle, a dually, and my bumper pull toy hauler sounds like a good idea but which would be best, inside the wheel or the valve stem cap type?

I can't remember anyone ever complain that they bought too much truck. In my opinion I would never tow over 5k with a half ton.

I would have figured this having been asked many times but I couldn't find anything. My girlfriend has decided to let her son and family move into her house because she no longer wants to deal with it and decided a medium sized 5er would fill the bill. What we want to know is what brands tend to...

It is my understanding that Oregon requires drag chains on the trailer if chains are required on the tow vehicle

We seldom use our furnace but our fridge did the same thing in Utah (high altitude) and it was the LPG regulator adjusted to too low a pressure.

All brands have areas that could have been designed better but generally Ford people argue for Fords Dodge people swear by Dodge. I've had four Dodge trucks, two being diesel and the only complaint I have is both of the diesels have had a few non engine electrical gremlins but otherwise no...

why not have someone follow you to see what they think? If it is ''crabbing'' it will be easy to spot.

Sorry for being a pain  :) Joe No you are not a pain because you only ask questions that most of us have asked that want to tow safe. That's why there are forums IMO. Gerry

What you are asking is quite a can of worms but I have a few thoughts and I know others more knowledgeable than I will chime in. First NEVER use dry weight for anything because they are heavier when they leave the factory by usually hundreds of pounds. Instead use gross weight because after a...

I don't know much about GM trucks but I do know that many of us eventually outgrow our RVs and trade up. I think I would go with the diesel for that reason and you would be amazed at the difference in climbing a 6% grade. You should also offset much of the difference in initial cost by more...

My thought is don't get hung up on one RV. I would keep looking as this one sounds pretty iffy to me. If you are determined I would low ball it somewhere around 4k keeping in mind you will probably have to do much servicing to make it safe and dependable.  If this is a dealer don't worry about...
