That's funny. He was originally looking at the 3970RD. We looked at both when he was out for Christmas. He called Billings they had gotten the 3710FL 10 days prior. He made all the arrangements over the phone. Manufactured 12-1-15. He returned home first week of January went over checked everything out. Son and I came up 10 days later and voila dad has a winter home. His transportation company (US) will come back up in September/October and bring it to California for the winter. He will most likely stay in a couple different locations over that time.
They are beautiful "homes".

Roy did you scale yours ? Ours weighed in at 10560# with only 2 full propane bottles, no extras yet.

What I was shocked at was the weight of my truck.... Anyone care to venture a guess ?

Enough for now. I pop up a photo or two later.

Keystone says the 3710FL is about 13000 lbs empty. When toy weighed it, was it disconnected from the truck and fully on the scale...??

Have not weighed mine yet.....expecting about 14000 lbs.

That is amazing........She is a "people". She can run down the electric windows in the rear seats. Really, she has learned that if she puts her paw on this spot...the window does down.

Roy,
Yes it was disconnected.

But I'm not believing it. The truck weighed out way too high also.

First tow. Had to take my trailer to get a slide worked on. This is in Camping World in Byron, GA. Truck and trailer handled very well on the hour + trip. World of difference between the 350 and the old 150.

Like to go to a toy hauler within a couple of years. Had to get the truck upgraded first. Also didn't want to tear up the 150 towing the trailer. Now have plenty of truck to look at the upgrade and it pulls this trailer really nice
