    Pulling a 7000 pound trailer with a Ram question

    Thanks Jack for asking the question. I’m exhausted with my research. I have a Ram 1500 Big Horn Hemi engine 5.7 v8. Everyone has been very helpful but I find myself a bit unsure as I read posts from someone asking a similar question as the answers vary in a grayish area. I found a travel...

    Great! I will research and get that information about my truck. I found another sticker on the door. Any information on this one that will help me understand what the truck can tow safely?

    Looking to upgrade my travel trailer

    Hello! I’m looking to upgrade my current Jayco that sleeps 5 to a trailer that sleeps 8. I’m feeling overwhelmed in my search and thought I would find an RV community where I can seek advice from experienced RVers. I plan to use the trailer during the summer months to vacation with my teenage...
