It wont get any easier stepping up into a tc brutha when the years keep passing. Ever thought of jumping ship from the TC forum and going to the T.H./T.T. forum section? Your already looking into pulling a trailer, so why not nail 2 fish with 1 cast by acquiring something that can house your accessories, more room, you have the truck that will tow and be easier in longrun to stay longer outdoors without fatigue....just spitballing Crew.
Not an unreasonable suggestion. We rented a 19’ Keystone Bullet TT in 2017 and we liked its size and features. We carried all of our extra stuff in the TT’s basement and in the bed of the truck.
We still like our truck camper for now, but we have talked about a “right size” TT in a few years. I suspect I’ll be able to easily sell the TC and the UT.
Here's ours with a little 4X8 Motorcycle trailer. 2018 F350 CCLB, 2018 Northern Lite 9.6Q-SE
Klaus,
That’s a great lookin’ combo! May I ask about any unforeseen issues when towing the trailer? We have a camera on the back of our camper to help with backing up.
Do you use a hitch extension between the camper and the trailer? Any issues with turning or backing up? I was thinking a long hitch on the trailer, but that would be a custom build.
Jim, I don't pull an enclosed trailer with my camper but I pull an open ATV trailer. I use the Reese 2 1/2" hitch extension and I believe if I remember right is 34 inches long and at that length has a 400 lb tongue capacity and 4000 lb load capacity. My trailer is a PJ model 8312, meaning it has an 83 inch wide deck and is 12 feet long.
My thoughts based on my experience are that you want as wide of a trailer as you can legally tow so that it can be seen from your drivers seat as well as long enough (or at least the axle being set back) that you don't get sway. If your trailer is the widest it can legally be, you don't need a backup camera because you can see it very well from sitting in the driver seat. If I were to get an enclosed trailer today, I would look for a tandem axle with electric brakes. You will be limited on the size/length of the trailer unless you are using Torklift Superhitch and Superhitch extension. The trailer StuFarmer posted looks just about perfect to what I would look to get.
