Congrats on the trailer!!! Keep us posted when you get it home.

 

The hitch looks very interesting. After you have a few tows with it report back.

[Roscopcoletrain]

Will do. Got our first trip planned for this weekend. Gonna be a bit of a rush getting it home wed then ready to leave Friday.

[Blue2500CC]

Thanks.

 

Springdale 270LE. We pick it up on Wed

 

Seems like a new style hitch. Reversed bars from a reg WD hitch.

 

 

Good luck today!!!!

 

Not sure you have had a trailer (or rv) before, but if you can before you sign, check the trailer out. Make sure you take your time going over the trailer from tongue to tail. Check the roof if you can for any cracks in the sealant, the water system, all apliances, open all cabinets and doors, slide out if you have one, lights, etc....

 

If you are new to trailers, video tape the pdi so you can remember how everything works!

 

Congrats again!!!

Thanks, Yeah, we own (for about 6 more hours lol) a Jayco Kiwi. Been towing for 4 years or so. But totally plan to go over it all. Wife has a keen eye (she did choose me ;) ) so if something is not right, she'll find it.

 

Looking at some road side options now, just to be safe. Good sam vs Coach net, which is better for canadians, etc.

Good to hear!!!

 

Something else I thought of, what size wd bars are you getting? It looks like that trailers dry tw is almost 800lbs before propane, battery, and stuff in the trailer. Make sure they are 1200lbs or so. Don't want to weak of a wd bar.

Yup, its the big dog, R6 1200. Made sure of that

Scott,

 

Is the trailer in the driveway??? How did the truck do towing it?

[Roscopcoletrain]

]Yup, made it home. Towed really nice actually. You obviously feel it in the hills, and if you don't mind winding the little 5.3 out a bit, she'll maintain speed no problem.

Looks great!!!!

[Roscopcoletrain]

Thanks!

 

Made up a new wheel chock for it last night. with the wide wheel track, my old ones were too narrow.

 

not pretty, but should do the job lol

 

[NEFisher11]

Nice job on the chocks. Trailer looks great also!

[Jsdirt]

Wow sweet lookin' trailer!

[Roscopcoletrain]

my favorite part..

 

[Jsdirt]

Wow that is MINT!

[Blue2500CC]

Looks sweet!!!! How is the trip going???

 

I have thought about a set of X Chocks (or DIY version), just haven't done it yet. Also considering an extra set of scissor jacks in the middle of our new rig. Or maybe the stabilizer bars attached to the scissor jacks....
