2 Gypsies, good call. I have been thinking the same thing! Maybe store it half the time in Payson and the other half in San Diego.

Guys first and foremost, thank you for being so welcoming. This is exactly why I want to join this community! So I cringe to tell you the trailer is 32ft. long! On the positive side, my longest tow will be 6 hours, but typically about 2-3. Our main objective is to get to the Arizona high county and out of the scorching heat on the weekends. I am very comfortable towing. In a different life, not too long ago, I used to tow trailers up to 52ft. Albeit they were goosenecks or bumper pulls using 1 tons. The other positive, the 2007 just broke 100k. We don’t use the vehicle a ton and it has always been routinely serviced. I haven’t purchased anything yet(plan to in the next couple weeks cause the temps are rising) so I think I will go weigh the tahoe loaded with gear and my family to get a better understanding. Circling back to a couple of your comments on length, any additional personal experience would help. My main concern is the sway, etc. we can get some pretty gnarly wind/ dust storms here in the summer months. Obviously I wouldn’t plan on driving in them, but you never know.

So to preface, I am new to posting a topic, but have read through a ton! I have a 2007 Chevy Tahoe 4x4, 5.3L with a 4.10 rear end. It states it is rated at 7700lb gvwr towing capacity. I am looking at a 2015 Keystone - Passport Ultra Lite Grand Touring. Roughly 5300lb dry weight and 7200 gvwr. I will be using weight distribution/sway control to tow. I have recently flushed all fluids and I am looking at having an additional trans cooler installed. I live in the desert Southwest where the heat and elevation can get hot and high. I don’t plan on carrying any water in the tanks, etc. and not planning on loading trailer above 6500lbs. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
