Almost identical to my first one. It was a much nicer pull than the current one. I only wished it had two axles, but that was just because I’m weird. Nice trailer either way, congratulations, now go book campsites (no joke, they fill up 6mos in advance where I’m at)Just wanted to report back here and thank everyone for there input, opinion, and experience.
I decided to err to the side of caution, to allow for more 'ceiling' to our load, and try to optimize our rig for the rigors of a long haul vacation (and beyond) by down stepping to the TT I just purchased this afternoon. It took some convincing to do that and accepting what I ought over what I (we) wanted but in the end I am feeling SO much more comfortable with this decision.
I landed on the GeoPro 19BH trailer which I was aware of for some time and in my area I have just not seen on a lot available for purchase until I made a call this morning on a whim and found this unit which was purchased but never claimed by the purchaser so they put it back up for sale.
Very excited to pick her up in the coming weeks and start prepping for the springtime excursions!
So where did this land me juxtaposed against the above:
The Camper is an GeoPro 19BH
So with those parameters assumed / figured and using the Towing Capacity Worksheet I am coming out to:
- 20’ 2” Bumper to Hitch
- Dry Weight is listed at 3220 lbs
- Hitch Weight is listed at 411 lbs
- GVWR is 4311 lbs
- I (over) estimated 750 lbs of ’STUFF’
- *Single Axel
- 95% of allowable Trailer GVWR *I anticipate sharing the load more with vehicle with reduced size unit to open headroom on this*
- 76.82% of allowable GCVWR
- 551 lbs UNDER Tow Vehicle GVWR (Truck + Cargo + Passengers + Hitch Weigh
