Given feedback from this forum, I may be about to go buy a 1997 Chevy Suburban in what appears to be pretty damned great shape.

Anyone have any horror stories / warning about that for a tow...

Thanks for that. The CX-9 is right there with HP then, 270, but 300lbs of torque at 2000rpm. Didn’t realize you were both talking about earlier model 17s though. Do you know off hand the weight...

Actually quite the contrary, almost everyone here is trying to dissuade me from even considering an Escape with my current vehicle. This is made a little confusing / frustrating as two of the posters...

For sure, and especially considering my vehicle, for the time being “off-road” to me will be relatively unmantained forest service roads and short trips off them over bumpy terrain, Washington...

Yeah, that all sounds pretty spot on. Would you mind telling me what year and make your tent trailer was? In all my research it seems tent trailers are headaches unless they are Colemans 1994 and...

Wow, how considerate!

Don’t suppose you got those bunks apparently almost no one ever options? ;-)

I wanted to like Taxa, but nope. Ruled them out very, very early on. Even more so after spending about three seconds in one.

We don’t all like the same things the same way, dude. It’s just so very...

I’ve watched a couple more videos and read a thing at Weigh Safe since my last post on this. So, is a WD hitch pretty much just to even out discrepancies in the percentage of weight a given trailer...

Well, if you think I’m ridiculous for considering a Somerset, please don’t look up an Opus!

Would be nice, but I don’t think anyone rents as esoteric and niche a trailer as the Somerset or Opus do they?

I’ll poke around though.

I’m not being purposefully obtuse, just want to be sure we’re not bumping into semantic differences. Isn’t lessening the load on the rear axle and the trailer hitch attached to it achieving the...

Yikes! It’s listed at 365. From where does all the extra come? Before the Anderson Hitch concept I had been planning to try and work around it by moving one of the propane tanks to the back of...

I get that the weight doesn't vanish, and I’m only going on scant information from cursory internet searches and talking with Johnathan at Casita. That said, the whole point of these style hitches is...

Thanks for the response. I’m not sure I follow you though. You say I won’t be happy towing a fixed wall trailer like the Somerset and Opus... but neither are fixed wall trailers. They’re both...
