We've decided to test the RV waters with something a little less
extravagant than an Airstream. Thursday we bought a Funfinder X, 186FBS.
http://www.rvusa.com/rvinventory_item.asp?id=484771
I just couldn't see paying 2 1/2 times the cost of this trailer for the
admittedly better quality and name of the Airstream.
Now we'll see how well the 4Runner will pull it. With the weight
distributing hitch it should be OK. Hell, it should be OK without it.
Had to go with the wife to buy sheets and stuff, of course. I'm sure she'll
try to double the weight of the trailer with junk. |

Your 4Runner will handle the weight just fine. But you will be surprised
at how much your speed and gas mileage are impacted by pulling that big
box down the highway. It's now the same as pulling a boat.
I hope you're going to get out on the road real soon now, and stay out
for a long, long time.
Happy Trails. |

Funny how having the same imported job-stealing Made in Japan motor
vehicle can bring good Americans together.
Almost makes me cry how we are so tight-knit.

>> like being waited on hand and foot when I travel...spoiled awful.
The last little 400 mile trip we took, in early June, my wife noticed
the almost total absence of RVs and camper-trailers on the road, which
we both appreciated, and I again commented that Americans pulling or
driving one of those boxes along the highway was "the bestest wish" of
every Arab potentate and big oil criminal.
We were only staying one night at our destination, it was midweek, and
it was a first-class hotel. $79. I couldn't believe it. Two room suite,
free breakfast, free parking, quiet, and, of course, a *real* bathroom
with a shower and a tub. And right across the street, a first-class
restaurant with a full bar.
No drunks, no little rug rats running around loose, no late night noises.
Yeah, I'd rather drive in and stay in an RV or campter-trailer. Not. >> Stay informed about: Yo Eisboch! |

Yep, there's a nice one at Charleston AFB but it's not too far from the
main runway full of military C-17 and commercial airline jets.

Different strokes...I prefer showers. Hot showers. With multiple
showerheads!
