re: Lets talk campers

My wife and I do a lot of camping. I'm not into the gigantic rigs which are more for full timers living in them. I pull a 29' Earthbound (long story on these collector item trailers). Definitely higher quality than run of the mill trailers but no longer made. It is all aluminum and composite with a steel frame underneath. Zero wood so nothing to rot. Weighs 4700 dry and about 6000 loaded. It could easily be pulled by a 1/2 ton but I pull it with my F350 diesel. Effortless and especially helpful in the mountains near me. If you're going to buy, I'd suggest one that's 2 or 3 years old with all of the bugs worked out. The newer ones seem to be even more cheaply built and warranty issues can put them in the shop for months. Plenty of horror stories out there. Don't believe any salesmen when they tell you X vehicle can handle this trailer. Do your own math based on the actual vehicle payload and GVW.
