    Thanks, but Chicago's a little too far from Delaware It is funny you say that though. I asked the dealer if I could hook up the camper to take a test run. He said they don't allow that due to liability reasons. Kinda makes things tough for anyone with a vehicle new to them when the weight limit's being pushed. I guess I always have the fallback option of backing out of the sale within the 3-day legal limit if I don't like the way it tows. Don't want to do that, but if he won't let me test it I won't feel bad

    Personally, I'd go smaller.. Is it just you and your wife? We lived in our toy hauler for 7+ month while waiting to close on a house and it was me, my wife, twin 4 year olds, and a cat. So don't play the 29 ft is already small game with me

    It's me, my wife, my 8 and soon-to-be 6 year old daughters. There gets to be so much chick drama at times that even a 29 has me thinking about packing a tent

    I'm told that lighter weights add a premium cost. Apparently the lighter and more-expensive ones are fiberglass while aluminum is heavier and cheaper (the opposite of boats when it comes to weight). I guess I could always go smaller and invest some of the savings into having noise-cancelling headphones surgically attached.

    Well best of luck with whatever you decide, if you decide to install the brake controller and have questions just post up or send me a PM.
