    She’s a real beaut Nacho!

    But you’re gonna need a bigger rig now- i.e., 3 /4 or 1 ton.

    Be like Mabel.

    I can get by with the 1500 for now but I’m already dropping hints about how a bigger truck would do more and be better for stuff.
    We have a 2500 HD. Wouldn't have wanted to pull the 23' with a lighter rig

    We rented one last month as well but the owner delivered it; they won’t let anyone tow it and I don’t blame them for that.

    I looked up the trailer weights and the 23’ is only 300 lbs lighter than a 27’.

    If you live were I live in the Columbia Gorge, you are going to want anything bigger than a half-ton. The half ton has the capacity and power, to pull it, but the wind and sway on a half ton vs 2500 is way different...

    A couple of months ago i pulled some friends' 29' Terri trailer down the gorge from the Dalles to Stevenson with my half ton Ram. It wasn't a good idea. They had some heavy shit in the back that I think made it worse, but I didn't feel at all in control of it going over 40. I was just glad I elected to come down 14 rather than trying the freeway. It was a long, slow slog with a lot of pulling over to let people pass.

    I have a weight distribution hitch that helps with towing. My truck still feels under powered though so I’ll be working on convincing Mrs Nacho to upgrade.

    All that said, we took her (the trailer, not Mrs Nacho) out on first camping trip today. I’m just now sitting down to drink a beer after we arrived about 2 hours ago.

    We’re on the Kentucky River about an hour from Lexington and Kroger Field (#myCats). Nice campground. I think a lot of the folks here would love the Tug and voted for Trump.

    One of the first things I noticed driving in was one of @89ute’s sister wives sister and husband are also here.




    No way would I pull a 27” airstream with a 1500. 2500HD minimum. Preferably diesel. But not mandatory.

    One think I noticed about RV park culture. Not a lot of libtrards. I like chatting up the guys with the $750k rigs. Most of them have a decent story. And it usually doesn’t involve going to womens marches and wearing pussy hats

    We rented a 23' Flying Cloud at the end of August. It was nice but we determined that it was the perfect size for 1 person.

    Nice Pride trailer.

    That was my point. That was a bat signal for my monkeypox orgy.
