Happy Birthday, Melissa!!
Thank you for all of your help and suggestions when I was planning the purchase of my very first RV - the Jayco 154BH.
It turned out that this trailer was *perfect* for me - and I would not have known how to go forward without your many, many suggestions, including how to find the weight of my pull van (LOL! You said to just weigh it!!), the weight of this trailer (to be sure my van could pull this trailer safely!!) and everything else that went into my decision.
I couldn't - and wouldn't - have done it without you (and all of my "virtural friends on this forum, that all offered support and advice). Found out my 1/2 ton van was rated to pull 12,000 pounds - my van weighes 6,000 pounds, and my trailer (unladen) weighes 3,500 pounds for a total of 9,500 pounds - leaving 2,500 pounds "wiggle room".
Because of you, I made a safe - and solo - trip from Northern California to Yellowstone (and back!) in 2018. My first-ever trip to Yellowstone - a trip I had wanted to make for more than fifty years. SO very glad I made this trip when I did. With the current "situation" I may have another chance.
The trip was absolutey fabulous, everything I could have hoped for, my trailer pulled so well that I had to remind myself that it was even there.
Melissa, hope you are well and happy, and are "weathering the storm" in comfort.
My very best wishes to you.
Anne
