Well, this year, I have added a 2012 Sure-Trac car hauler to the collection. Now my wife and I are shopping for a travel trailer. Stopped by and found one we liked. Talked to the dealer, researched the trailer after we got home, and the dealer is $4K under book.
Now for the kick in the seat of the pants...it is a 33', 11,300 lbs (loaded), 9,000 lbs (unloaded)...has two sliders, sleeps six...etc, etc, and so forth. I let the dealer know that I am towing with a '99 K1500 'Burban. He tells me that if they put on the new torsion bar setup, not the older chain and bar style, in the 1,200 lb model then I could safely tow this trailer on level ground without worry of sway...
Maybe its me, and in all honestly all 3 of my local campsites (2 county parks, and 1 state park) are within 10 miles of my home and the roads are level....however...even with air bags for support, I can see this thing squashing the crap out of my Burban.
Thoughts??
