Official thread for pictures of Ram towing campers

[Rickyrocket]

Trailer is gone now, but still have the truck. I have a new toy...

That's a nice upgrade!

You use your truck to push the motorhome....is that legal?

The MPG must really suck.

With that 5.7 humming along, you don't know that the MH is even there!

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!

Shortly after this trip. I installed Sumo Springs. They make such a difference

Do the sumos make it ride stiff? I've been thinking about adding some gas shocks to help the ride but I'm finding more and more adding sumos.

Yes. I will say. They are great while towing. But having them on every single day with no load. It’s really bumpy. Even worse when it’s cold out. I don’t fully regret getting sumos because I do like them when towing. But I should have went with the Timbren brand that is pretty much plug and play so I can take them out in 5 minutes. The sumo springs are bolted in place. Timbren just press in and pull out.

I also have sumos and they are bumpy stiff. Sumo said they can be cut tapered to make the engagement softer. Interestingly, I used the spacer on an ORP truck and they ride on the sumos, so maybe skip that spacer. They do help towing.

I have been thinking about cutting them a bit myself. Like maybe one ring worth. Did you happen to cut yours?

Not yet, it's winter here and I don't have room in the garage to work on it right now. I will put a big 45 degree chamfer on mine with a belt sander, probably about 2 rings worth. I don't want to shorten them, you just change the point of impact. I had them on my GMC also and by the time the shocks were worn (as was the truck), they simply smacked on deeper bumps.

For what they cost I'm going to go with the gas shocks

Not a great picture since I just wanted to get it home and back into winter storage but here is my new to me 2017 Heartland North Trail 24BHS getting some new tires on the trip home from buying it!

I’m hauling the same camper. Love it. Added 400 watts of solar to the roof. Powers the fridge and freezer perfectly fine.

Congrats.

Just got a Wildwood 273qbxl, have to pick it up from Ohio and pull it back to CO next month (will add the photo after my trip back). It will max my payload with us in the truck (I have a Limited). Hoping the hybrid Ram allows for more payload in Limited or Tungsten build!

 

[SnowBlaZR2]

Was looking through some older pictures as we're planning the year out west...

I sure do miss the Ram.

Are you referring to the 25s and up with the hurricane?
