Hey GR, what was your previous truck and camper? Do you have a pic of the camper, and what was the weight of the camper and GVWR of the truck? I am curious, my Suzuki Gran Vitara is rated for 3000 pounds, and my camper weighs 3700.

Well it helps if U lighten the load 700 lbs BBY! @ My otherwise plumbing-competent BiL who RV's all over the country screwed up the emptying of his 'blackwarer' tank...one time...REALLY NOT GOOD! I'll stick to boat bilges pumpout stations! The darkside of recreational activity I tell ya! Between commode equipped tour busses, Big 50' tri level-houseboats on Lake Meade, and 20+ movie set star-coaches (think a month+ in one location) needing to B emptied when the air begins to shimmer at 100 F.; If it's a dirty job I usually get elected!

What is the estimated cost of that puppy? I always tell my wife that when I retire I want to sell off everything and purchase a motorhome to tour the US.

Nice upgrade John, since you're on the road (moving around) so much it makes sense to have a 'home away from home', sure looks comfy!!!
Congrats.

sorry Neal, not much in the way of cell signal or wifi in the canyon so i have been pretty absent from subsim the last few days. returned home late last night.

In my previous configuration i was towing a 2012 Heartland Prowler 20RBS with a 2012 Nissan Titan 4X4 crew cab.

i dont have any pictures of the Heartland prowler, but it is exactly as this model here: http://www.bullyanrvs.com/product/ne...-rbs-329182-29

the 20RBS has a dry weight of about 4600 lbs, the Titan has a curb weight of about 5,000 lbs. towing capacity on the Titan with the tow package is in the 9,000 lb range

My current camper has a weight of about 7400 lbs +/- according to the sticker by the door, GCWR on the titan is 15,100 lbs (7400 lb camper plus 4600 lb titan puts us at about the 12,000 lb neighborhood Gross Combined)

with the sway bars, the new camper tows really well IMHO

this model runs in the mid $30's but a lot of that depends on where you shop obviously. TTL out the door expect about $34,000
