Thanks. I looked for a year before deciding on this one. I found it in Phoenix, the owner bought it from the original owner in 1995. We enjoy it. It's my daily driver. My daughters love riding in it.

Thanks! Hitch in the truck is the Reese Elite 25k. Pinbox on the trailer is the Reese 5th Airborne under the factory hitch cover.

I have to say, this is the first campsite I have ever seen that has the sewer right outside your door under the awning??

An explanation is due. The normal campsites are perpendicular to the way I'm parked. There were not a lot of us in the RV area and we wanted to park in a "compound" manner", making a sort of "court yard" type of arrangement. So I backed in horizontal to the way we would normally. This also allowed me to not have to unhook the trailer. I just had to put the tongue jack down enough to raise the front of the trailer just a little to level it.

I ended up not using the dump there. It was just sightly up hill. I carried the waste water to campground close by my house and dumped there.

Definitely not a big load. A trip to IKEA for our kitchen remodel. All their stuff comes un-assembled in relatively small boxes but it feels like they are filled with lead.


Filled the inside and behind the rear seat as well.

Thank you sir! Maybe someday on the 450. I was worried it might be needed sooner when I first hooked up but it pulled home the 800 miles from the dealer flawlessly. For now, the little SRW stays...
