What do you tow and what's your tow rig?
09/26/18 at 11:59:03

I'll start:

Tow Rig:

2009 Ram 3500 DRW, 6.7L Cummins
Heavily modified, now pushing just shy of 700hp via:
-Tuner
-Turbo
-Injectors
-Air Intake (not filter)
-RevMax performance transmission
-Head studs
-Trans Aux cooler

What do I tow?

2010 Heartland RoadWarrior 395 (43') Toy Hauler; with mods (of course!)
-Added SAT TV
-Added 2500 watt inverter w/2x 150watt solar panels
-Added 4g high gain AMP for cell + Internet
-Added multi-band WiFi
-Stripped all decals and had custom nose art made
-Currently at Schmidts for lower trim vinyl treatment

Clearly, I have an issue with modifying everything! Rolling on floor laughing

Reply #2 - 09/26/18 at 21:19:33 Right now for overnight trips the RV does the towing. 2015 Forrest River Forrester on an E450 chassis. Will be changing to a pickup truck / truck camper platform in the next year for better mobility, and to be able to get a little farther off the beaten path.

I like using my camper, is fully self contained with a 3500 watt generator. It is also a Polar model so it is four season ready. Although it will freeze up with temps below 0 degrees unless the heater is cranked up, which is hard on the batteries and hard to do when driving. During late season elk hunts I use a buddy heater on the counter to keep it warm when away hunting.

Assuming you're tandem towing to haul quads with your bumper pull? Although I'd be totally illegal, I've contemplated adding a receiver hitch to the rear of my 5th wheel to be able to have 5x ATV's with me.

Looks like a bumper pull toy hauler to me. I hate to see people pull tandem. Seen way to many crashed and rolled over the years Sad

Rutcutter is correct. Quads ride comfortably in the hauler. No tandem tow for me. I've personally witnessed a rig almost lose it all while in tandem. No thanks.

This is mine, pulls like a dream. The trick is a 2 axle quad trailer and keeping it loaded correctly.

Don, that is a lot of trailer in front of the axles. What does the truck have for suspension?

The standard is 1 inch per foot of the length of the trailer back from the center line of the axles. In other words if the trailer is 40 ft. long you would move the center line of the axles 40 inches back. DON~~~

I wasn't a trailer builder either but I couldn't find what I wanted and couldn't afford to have it custom built so I figured it out. It was a great investment as we have gotten a lot of use out of it. I built it for the sand dunes before we started to do trail riding. DON~~~
