I wanted the 7x12 or 7x14 to fit our tractor, but my dad was leary of the 7 foot width since he wants to park it under his carport or in his barn. Our 7 foot car hauler doesnt fit, so it kinda sealed the deal on the 6x12.

We decided to upgrade from our 2005 Nash 19B. Wanted another Nash but couldn’t find the one we wanted anywhere within a reasonable price or with the options we wanted. Finally found one at RVS Northwest in Spokane WA and cut a phone deal.

So after a 900 mile one way drive from the California Bay Area we picked up our new 2020 Nash 23D. Only bummer was my Andersen hitch wouldn’t work as the off-road frame is so much higher, ended up having them put on a Equalizer e4.

A few pics from the way home.

Just picked up our new camper today! We did have a problem with the wd hitch the dealership said would work and apparently the only one they had there. So we are looking or recommendations on a wd hitch with sway bar that has a drop or is adjustable. Tongue weight on the trailer is 910lbs and weighs 7700 dry. The second picture is the hitch I used to haul it the 15 miles home and it sits pretty level.

Nice Camper, is that the 29VBUD? Looks similar to ours. Happy camping!

Towing a 2019 Forest River Cherokee Grey Wolf 22RR my wife affectionately named Francis. My 2018 Ram 1500 Big Horn 4x4 pulls it just fine since the trailer is roughly 5K lbs dry. I haven't weighed it with the Quad and all the tanks full so I don't know what its actual weight is but the GVWR is about 7600. Well within this trucks pulling capabilities.

It only sways around in high wind situations and its still very minimal.

Towing this from Mesa, AZ to St Louis, MO was pretty uneventful; however, it did cost quite a bit in gas. It was about $500 in gas on the way there, roughly 10 fill ups.We tried to fill up only when the light came on or at the red line below a quarter of a tank left. The Range calculator wasn't super reliable but it worked well enough to keep us out of trouble. Average MPG was around 5 or 6... probably standard for towing a load. I don't have as much experience with towing aside from this truck and trailer combination.

When we first got the trailer, we were pulling it with a 2002 F-150 and it did OK going to Tucson but I knew it would struggle going up to Heber or for long trips. The F-150 made it from PHX to ST Louis and back once, towing a U-Haul Trailer back and it struggled on some of the steeper grades with its 3.55 gearing, bigger tires, and 4 speed trans.

Betty was a good truck but we traded her in for Delilah and hopefully she's gone to a good home! She had maybe 130K miles on her when we traded her in.
