Hello everyone!
We have just put a deposit down on a local 2018 17A, and we will pick it up in early December. We are replacing a small, motorized RV. We will tow it with our 2014 Nissan Frontier Pro4x King Cab.
I have minimal experience driving a trailer, and I feel nervous about acquiring this new skill. However, I am a good and confident driver, and I know that I can learn with practice and by taking things slowly. I witnessed a horrific sway-related accident about 10 years ago that leaves a knot in my stomach whenever I think about it, so I have been reading obsessively about weight distribution and anti-sway hitches. There are a lot of options out there!
I have been calling around to see if anyone offers "driving with a trailer" lessons, but the options are limited and classes are already filled through next summer. If anyone lives in the Fraser Valley (we're in Mission) and wants to make some extra money by doing some practice with me, please let me know!
I think it's wonderful that this community exists, and I look forward to participating. We expect to take the trailer to Alaska in May/June, so I will look through other posts to see if others have chronicled their Alaskan adventure.
Thanks,
Sarah
