Official thread for pictures of Ram towing campers

[CaffGeek]

I don't have a good one of it hooked up but our ancient camper (inside is completely gutted and mostly renovated though)

That's a beautiful trailer and I'll give ya props, that's a huge trailer for a half ton. My personal limit was a couple of 33' trailers we had in the past. Enjoy it.

Thank you! Yeah it’s at the upper
end of a half ton’s capabilities, though it towed super well taking it home! We pretty much camp within a 4 hour radius (most of the time less), if we were going further or multi day tows I would upgrade to a 3/4 Ton.

North trail ultra light 24’ BHS. Using a WDH. Tows like a champ. May look into airbags more a little more leveling soon

What methods are those? Sweet setup

If it tows easy, why?

Is that a park? Or did you just happen to find a wide open plot of land?

It's called Las Cienegas NCA. I think it's a conservancy. It was an old working ranch years ago called Empire Ranch. It has a lot of dispersed camping areas and I spend a lot of time exploring in my Jeep. You can generally see a few Prong horned sheep in the area also.

If we were going further and longer, we’d need more gear, So I would I would want the payload to support that. Right now we don’t carry much gear with us in the camper or truck but I would expect that we would need more to support longer/further trips. The other is weather conditions, Currently I won’t try to tow this in windy conditions I’ll delay/extend our short trips if I have to. If were on the road for a few weeks I’d want some additional capability in light winds which a 3/4 may afford.

Understood. I am retired, so when the wind gets too bad or there are snowy/icy conditions, we don't move. I have towed many timed in moderate wind conditions with no problems, but when it goes over 25/30 I stay parked. It also depends on the area I will be towing in.

Congrats, nice rig.

It's a little strange to me, I had a motorhome for 16 years and sold it 4 years ago. Even though I have driven tractor trailer for 35 years pulling a camper is a little strange for me.

We picked this unit up a couple of weeks ago. 30.8 feet long #7,690 GVWR, #690 hitch weight. Used an Easlift TR3 WDH. Towed fine, got 9 mpg.
Hemi likes (needs) to rev.

Keystone Springdale 298BH. Dry weight is listed at 6800lbs. With all of our gear it will probably be around ~7200lbs.

Trailer sits about 2 inches nose high so I have a longer shank on the way to get it back to level. This driveway isn't level so it's hard to tell from the picture.

Pulls well, some sway when a bow wave comes off a semi, but getting it level and dialed in on the scale will fix that right up.

Lots of threads about 1/2 ton travel trailer towing ability and weight limits, but no thread with just pics of Ram’s towing their campers.

Save the arguments for the other threads let’s just see some pics here!

How does it feel towing? Is that 30ft?
