We've decided to test the RV waters with something a little less

I just couldn't see paying 2 1/2 times the cost of this trailer for the
admittedly better quality and name of the Airstream.

Now we'll see how well the 4Runner will pull it. With the weight
distributing hitch it should be OK. Hell, it should be OK without it.

Had to go with the wife to buy sheets and stuff, of course. I'm sure she'll
try to double the weight of the trailer with junk.


Your 4Runner will handle the weight just fine. But you will be surprised
at how much your speed and gas mileage are impacted by pulling that big
box down the highway. It's now the same as pulling a boat.

Funny how having the same imported job-stealing Made in Japan motor
vehicle can bring good Americans together.
Almost makes me cry how we are so tight-knit.
