Cochiti COE CG Cochiti Lake New Mexico. Nice quiet place to spend a week, we are waiting for our RVing friends to meet us here before we head further south and west to Arizona for the winter.

Very nice Denny. We just put our RV in storage Tuesday morning. Later in the day and through noon Wednesday, we got hit with an inch of rain and 22" of wet heavy snow and we're only at 3500 ft. I couldn't even use the snow blower. Terrible. Wish I was there!!!! Cannot wait to go south some year.....

Went from a 2018 Grand Design Reflection 28BH to a 2022 Momentum 351M-R with FBP. Loving this new rig and will be a better long-term fit as our kids grow.

Very nice setup. Looks like a little bit of hitch weight there?

Agree nice rig!
The hitch weight looks perfect. Just touching the overload springs. The Goldie Locks zone.

Thanks. Was first loaded trip. Our last 5er had a huge rear trunk for storage so this was a first pass at a balance between storage in the garage, basement and the truck bed/tool box (a bit more of latter than used to). I will say I was very happy with the ride with only 25# in the bags.

Awesome. I'm still trying to find the sweet spot in my bags. I've only pulled once. The guy that installed them said run them at 80-90. That seems a little high and when I ran them at that pressure (truck drops almost 4" without the bags - 90 psi raised the truck 3"), I got a little more bounce vs. no bags. Today I'm replacing my rear stock shocks with Bilsteins. I may reduce that pressure to 40-50 with the new Bilsteins and see how that feels. What are you running for payload weight?
