Picked up E23 Friday

[LRL]

Good experience at ETI. Love the trailer! Wishing for a bit less rain, and a lot less traffic through the Seattle area (on a Saturday!!)

That is exciting. Which version did you get?

[MrLynn]

How does it tow? Got a photo?

[LRL]

I thought I'd posted a couple of photos... now done. It tows more or less as I expected: a bit more cumbersome around corners than the 21, but going straight down the highway, just fine. I'm certainly more nervous about towing than I was the 21, which is only based on experience. The 21 was the first thing I'd ever towed. "What could go wrong?" Right. So now I'm worried about every turn etc. Clearly, needs more space to make a turn, but overall no problems. And thus far I've not hit anything.

Looks like the high-lift option. That's one great-looking trailer!

Thank you. Yes, we're quite happy. Though I wish there'd have been the option for the spray on underbody foam that we had on the 21.

Queen. I'll happily post a few interior photos once we've cleaned up a bit!

[LRL]

Just realized the photos didn't attach. Poor connection at Grayland State Park.

I really like how they notched out the roofline for the awning, better than just bolting it on as others do.

That's not new. The notch started with Gen 2 trailers several years ago.

I promised an interior photo. Not the best, but shows the dining room, kitchen, and bedroom suite. Couldn't get the bowling alley and hot tub in the same frame.

Moisture is always present, corrosion will still occur but probably just slower

Congratulations on the new trailer. I am picking up our E23 in July and am seriously considering the Andersen although the Weigh-Safe is a strong contender for me. I will be keenly listening for reports from those who go before me as to how well the Anderson distributes weight from the rear of the truck. Although, I am thinking my 2500HD won't need too much weight distributed back tom the front axel. Curious as to which GTWR you are going with. I spoke with the folks at Trademasters in Chilliwack and they recommend the 16k hitch-seems a bit of overkill to me.

Sorry, I’m not sure which one I have… except I am certain it’s not the 16K. It’s 8 or 9 I think. What I really appreciate about it is that it really dampens the rocking horse effect one gets when going over speed bumps and the like. I tow with an F150, and towed my old 21 without sway control/WD for a few thousand miles, and was totally fine OTHER than the rocking horse action.
