Crap, at this rate I'll never find anything that I want that I can haul.? :-[ Actually my truck is a supercab which gets me a little more towing if I looked at the chart right. Any suggestions on finding a TT I can haul that has the floor plan that's a walk around queen bed, a sofa, and at...

We're looking at the Springdale 260 TBL and I'm wondering if anyone has anything good or bad to say about it. This would be our first TT so we are soooo new to this. This trailer has the floor plan that we want and it's really close to the payment we want. Springdale Model 260TBL Weight? ...

I have a Garmin, but I'll be looking into this also. I have a couple of fellas I work with that use this and they absolutely LOVE it.

I'm always hungry, hehe Thanks for the heads up. I'l be coming from Kankakee,IL. From what I hear about the construction, looks like I'll come up north on 65 then take 80 east into Elkhart if I'm looking at it correctly.

Can anyone point me in the direction of some good dealers? We're heading over Sat (7/29) to look for used or new travel trailers. I was told by a couple fellas I work with that this is a good area to "hunt" for a good deal. Thanks in advance for any help!!!

Illinois guy here too, up in Kankakee.  /waves If you get into mountain biking, Kickapoo has some nice trails and some nice people can be found here too: http://www.kickapoombc.org/

I for one am all for campfires also. I grew up in the Boyscouts and without a campfire it wasn't camping to us. Smoky, I love the sig: "Smoky S The magic of a campfire where the fish get bigger the mountains get higher the hike was uphill both ways and new friends become old friends"...

Ah, I didn't relize the difference.....nope, I have 4wd so your numbers would be correct. Thanks for setting me straight

I was using the 9500 number for my calculations

I assume the "magic" 7600 lbs is so I should be safe to pull it anywhere I want to?

By the chart, it looks like this: F-150 SuperCab 5.4L V-8 9,500/9,300 15,300, so 8550 unless we do mountains then it'd drop to 7600? If so, I think we'll be safe as most the ones we've looked at so far haven't been over 5000. As for a floor plan, I think we've decided on a bedroom with a queen...

Thanks!

Don't know if it helps any, but Pontiac RV in Potiac,Illinois I hear is a great place to do business with. They didn't have the travel trailer we're looking for, but they are watching for us. We talked to a gentleman by the name of Jeff Heath. This place is HUGE!

I'm new here and starting to look for a travel trailer for me, the wife and our 5 yr old. We're thinking 18-25 ft range and used to get a better price. Being new to this, what are the "main" things I need to look out for buying used? Sorry for the vague question. Thanks in advance for any...
