Not with your new truck you don't!! You could haul your old truck AND your jeep behind that beast!
We have a family of 4, what length of trailer is a minimum?
I would not limit to a length but take your kids with you shopping and spend some time inside and see how it works out.
Are electric jacks worth the extra money? Another option for the footing jacks is an electric drill with the right bit on the end. Zips the feet down in no time flat. I do have an electric jack but have not installed it yet so I am still manual and am fine with that. As stated, a block of wood to reduce the turns is a good idea.
Should I be worried if there isn't a manual option for the slides? I have heard it is a good idea to have a manual as well as electronic way to close the slides. I believe there has to be one. Ask the guy or check the manual.
The trailer we are leaning towards is from Bucars, a Sporttrek by Venture RV. Anyone familiar with this brand?
Don't know the brand. We bought from Bucars and were very happy with the experience.
Thanks again for the help.
