Got it all, Now need nice weather.

I finally picked up my trailer, the reason I bought my F250. It's a 2012 Keystone Outback 312BH. It's got everything you could want in a trailer, including it's own beer fridge in the outdoor kitchen. Shipping weight is 7800 lbs with a total weight of 9000. I got a Blue OX WDH, it can handle 15000/1500. The truck handled the trailer pretty well for the short 18 mile drive home. But did hit a construction zone, a turn around, highway entrance ramp, highway, round-a-bout, 2 major roads, and a residential street, then was able to back it up into the driveway.
Here are some pictures.

Now we're talkin'! That's the same reason I got mine... to tow the 32' travel trailer. The last pic was a duplicate... I'm SURE you meant to put up a pic of the beer fridge and the outdoor kitchen, RIIIIGHT????

Very nice truck-trailer combo.

Does it sway much when being passed by a semi?

WOW!!! That is a nice choice (trailer ain't bad either). Who cares about nice weather? I'd be in that out in the driveway!

Looks real similar to my 2011 Puma 31ft.

That's why I bought my truck as well to pull the trailer. It's fun pulling a trailer that big.

Congrats.

Thank you.
I did not get passed by any semi's on the way home, only on the highway for about 2 miles. But when I got up to 70 mph, didn't realize it, I did feel a little sway. I might have to tweek the sway bars a little. I got the Blue Ox 1500.

Very nice setup! I own a 30ft Jayco TT that I've towed with my Expedition, but never the F350 diesel. I bought the diesel to add a fifth wheel down the road and ditch the travel trailer. We don't need the rear bunks with the kids being grown. Anyone wanna buy a trailer?

Ha. I used to tow the 32 footer with my Expedition... Towed like a champ, but with 140K on it, I just couldn't trust it this season, hence the upgrade to the SD. Can't wait... week and a half and counting.

Yeah that is nice, you can also move it around and lower it, like it is, and raise it up to normal height.

Here is a pic of my dedicated beer fridge and personal cooking area, there is also a BBQ grill that swings around from the back.
