Official thread for pictures of Ram towing campers

[FiremanHemi]

Our first trip, we borrowed a buddies to see if we were really serious about investing in a TT, WE ARE. Lol used an e2 wdh, I think I need to dial it in a little more, had a little to
much sag for my liking

Here's mine

Grey Wolf 26dbh. 6700lbs as it sits. Still need to adjust the WDH and ball height. It’s sitting a smidge nose up. They look good together though. I may need to get some chrome rims for the truck to match the trailers.

All hooked up ready to go, until the slide broke, back to the dealership

Nice!! We have a 16BHS now, and are eyeing the 26djse. Glad to see it towing a 30' well!

Yeah it does well. I can certainly feel it back there but it is very stable and gets up to speed decently. Cruses on the freeway nicely. I headed up I80 east, towards Tahoe to see how it did climbing up the Sierras. It had no problem keeping speed or excellerating. So I am happy with that. I will still have to keep the payload in the truck in check. But between family, little payload, and hitch weight, I am good.

Hey, I finally found someone with comparable truck to mine and comparable trailer to the one I just bought today, how does it pull, what's your payload (truck), mine is 1380 Lb, just hoping I made the right trade @ the RV lot and don't regret it. Your trailer dry weight is 6812 mine is 6438, your hitch weight is 784, mine is 755 Lb. Yours is 34 feet mine 32 feet

10.000km or 6,000 miles trip to Newfoundland Canada towing a small Jayco 145RB travel trailer.
Fab and installed an airstream skirt between the truck and trailer to improve aerodynamics, it has springs to allow to open when turning or to access the tailgate.

Not sure I have a towing pic, but this was right after.

That's really interesting. Do you notice a difference while towing? Why didn't you go farther up on the nose of the trailer?

It really does make a difference, I had towed my trailer for the time last year and was not impressed by the amount of wind drag it caused, I thought it would have been a lot easier to tow than my 8x16 flat nose enclosed tandem axle trailer, the camper trailer is 7x14 1/2 and has almost the same weight. My first trip was almost 3,000km and only averaged 17 mpg.

This year I first tried to add a heavy rubber mud flap across the rear bumper of my truck and a rubber mud flap across the front bottom part of the trailer, I wanted to slow the wind going under the truck and trailer, I was so proud of the job I did, it looked really good and had worked on it a good part of the day. I test tried it on the highway and it made no difference, I could still feel a lot of resistance with the wind and the rubber flap on the trailer had started to rip on its first test run. I then added a redneck prototype made of a tarp, angle iron, 2x4s and bungee cords, the tarp went from the top of the tonneau cover to the trailer, it was really windy that day when I test tried it, I was so impressed with the difference it made going against the headwind. My truck had suddenly shifted down two gears to 6th during the test run going against the wind, I looked a the rear view camera and noticed that the tarp had fallen off the truck and was laying on the front of the trailer. I stopped and reinstalled the makeshift tarp and continued on the highway with the truck going to 8th gear without struggling. My wife said she would not go with me if it would look like the way it appeared so I made a better looking setup using 1” square aluminium tubing for the frame and even rolled it to the same curve of the front of the trailer. I used the mesh of a 10 foot trampoline, I would have gone higher up to the window if the trampoline had been 12 feet.

I achieved 20 mpg or 14L/100km hand calculated for this last 10,600km trip, it does not sound that good but it is really windy in Newfoundland and the highway has very steep grades, I was surprised to see snow on the mountains in July. My truck was mostly in 8th gear except when near the mountain highways.
I was questioned a lot during my trip about my airstream setup.

2020 Jayco 145RB it’s only 14 1/2 feet, tiny but has a shower and bathtub, toilet, AC on the roof, gas heater, gas/electric water heater, gas /electric fridge, two burner gas stove, plenty of storage space, a small sofa, a table that folds for the bed and power awning, we eliminated the table and installed a permanent mattress, we mostly eat outside but we have a small folding table when we need it, it’s perfect for my wife and I to travel America. This picture was taken last year at the KOA in Sault Ste. Marie Ontario Canada
