Tropical Storm Danny put a squash on the end of our vacation so we are back home 2 days early. The 6" drop hitch made a significant difference as well as loading all our camping gear in the front of the camper. The increase in tongue weight kept the trailer from swaying unless there was a 18 wheeler with an unusual load. The gas mileage increased as well from the changes and the run to the Cape is alot less hilly so this run we tanked up before leaving and we got 13mpg when the normally we get 14-14.5mpg.
I still can't back this trailer down well as it seems that it has a mind of its own but I'm getting a little better at it. I'm not sure why I am having issues with backing down as I have had trailered my boats for years and am quite good at it. It has to be the ratio of trailer size to vehicle size as usually the boat trailer has been longer than my tow vehicle.
We have all this wonderfull space in the front of the camper and are questioning how to use it. Our original plan was to put a closet on the non-door side and a table and 2 chairs which could drop down to create a single bed. Now we are thinking of a couch that goes accross the front and some type of table that can be stored away when not in use. We still haven't figured it out.....
