The whole point of getting the truck was to also buy a travel trailer, to spend time with the kids in the summer.
We shopped and shopped, both North and South of the border, and decided on a local 2013 Passport 3220BH. 32 footer, 2 slides, 2 awnings, outdoor kitchen, sleeps 10. It's only 6300 lbs dry; that was a major consideration to keep as much towing headroom as possible while getting enough space to not need to upgrade in a few years.
We'll use a Reese WD hitch in conjunction with the factory Dodge brake controller and a set of Timbrens to keep things in check.
Can't wait to try her out :head3:

Ahhhh man that is very nice and I've been looking at those myself just a different floor plan because all my kids are gone. It between passport and jayco the ones I've been looking, so can you take more pics because I love to look. I wish that I had got the 3.92 gears but there is one of the floor plan I think the 28' that I just right in the passport.

Those Jaycos are nice; lots of bells and whistles, just not a floorplan for us at a weight (and price) I could live with. Quite a bit fancier than ours but with kids, just more to wreck ;-)
The rear bunk slide sold us on this- it's actaually a room they can play in, on the floor! (or have room to mope around and watch their ipads once they're teenagers)

Nice combo. We were looking @ hybrids & that's the main reason I bought a new truck. The Chev I had worked way to hard pulling a 1100# popup. Optioning out a Chev to tow what I wanted was just not cost effective compared to the Ram.
