New here and really enjoying the community and breadth of knowledge. My wife and I have had a series of unfortunate events and we've decided to hit the road. We are brand new to RV living but we're experienced campers with outdoors experience. Our plans:
How realistic would it be to tow a 25' travel trailer with Gross Vehicle Weight 4650 lbs? I know I need to calculate on more than that (personal effects, tongue weight, truck occupancy, propane, etc.) and the used truck I'm currently looking at has a tow rating of 7900 lbs. This might be cutting it too close but I'd like some feedback from experienced folks. Thanks in advance.
P.s. If this has been answered and my search skills are lousy, just let me know.
- Travel every 1-3 weeks depending on our location;
- Not to exceed 250-300 miles between stops;
- Work from the road;
- Check out new places to live and call home.
