77'-10" coming home from the river. It was starting to flood and I said time to go and time to try out the hitch on the back of the Toyhauler. I don't plan on running doubles but thought I'd try it for the short distance. It was made for a bicycle rack.

This was 3 weeks ago. River has come up a foot since then and will go up another foot this week. I don't think we will be able to get back this fall.

I misunderstood what you were referring to. Yeah it's close to 60ft lol. I did have a custom 2" receiver welding to the frame in the rear for a couple trips close to home when I have to bring extra ATV's. That combo is right at 73ft, but pulls great.

60 feet would be long. I come in at about 55 feet.

60 is getting right up there.

Beautiful rig Prowler!! How do you like the Momentum so far?

Only 58'-3 inches on mine from bumper to bumper and that's long enough for some of these outdated parks.

Thanks! So far we really like it. I didn't think we would use the side patio but that hasn't been the case so far. The only issue we are dealing with right now is not a GD issue. We have the Norcold 2118 refrigerator and it hasn't worked well since we took delivery. Apparently since 2018 Norcold has been having issues with this model not cooling. I had the exact same refrigerator in my 2015 and 2017 Raptors and they worked flawlessly. It is currently at the shop getting new doors, cooling pack, and motherboard installed. Basically a new refrigerator minus the shell lol.

Nice Solitude btw!

Thanks Prowler...we probably have the same 18 cu ft RV type fridge in our Solitude. If the center flap in between the doors doesn't close right you'll lose some of the cooling. My freezer works fine but the fridge takes a day or 2 to cool down in this 95 degree weather. We had a Norcold in the '15 Fuzion we had that was trouble free for the 3-1/2 yrs we had it. By the way I'm in Mathews about 50 miles north of Grand Isle and see you're not too far away. Bought our Solitude at Dixie in Hammond.

Yeah I've tried the teflon washer to raise the door and all the other remedies but never could get the fridge colder than 45.

Oh ok, that's not that far from me. I'm about 30 min SE of Baton Rouge. We also bought from Dixie.

Hope you get the fridge working properly. Dixie was great in the sales part but the service dept. is a joke.
