Minimal porpoising! Minimal sway! Lots of gas on the hills!

Ordered Air Lift 5000 Ultimate and Daystar cradles for the next trip!

I’m happy with how it towed!

TH is a Prime Time 2910! It’s at the limits of the PW, but within them! Braking was excellent, pulling hills saw 5500-6000rpms often! Temps were good all the way, even pulling the hills!

The limits are theoretically 16k with the tranny and engine, the problem is the suspension and thats why the PW is rated lower. I am not sure if the gears make an issue but I dont think they do. Softer suspesnion, Look at sumo springs for an easy on off assistance for hauling. I haul a 33ft TT and dont use anything it sags a bit but I am under the limit. Looking good!

looks great!

once you get the airlift 5000 on, you might need to readjust your WD hitch. I had to make minor adjustments. you should love the way it rides after you go airbags.

Lots of readjustments depending on how the TH is loaded! I’m pretty much condemned to keep the RZR loaded today to balance the 78 gals of fresh water and generator up front! 8-0

My boss’ Laramie Longhorn Megacab pulling his 38’ TH! He ate me up on the hills! His 1/4 throttle walked away from me at pedal amp n the floor!

His son followed in his ‘11 Cummins! His girlfriend took this pic! Beautiful sunset!

you know, that thought never crossed my mind. makes sense as to why most toy haulers are 5'ers. I bet there is a lot of adjustment, readjustment, and readjustment needed. Surely people aren't taking their hitch apart and adding adjustment washers that often, right?

That's what i was referring to

I’ll raise the “ells” on the trailer frame one notch for a little more “tension” on the bars! After that, I will use the airbags as a fine tuner!

Most of my camping will be without the RZR! I’m sure I can load all extras in the garage to approach the 1250lbs of it! (Firewood, coolers, etc!
