I've owned or used motor homes, 5th wheel, and bumper hitch RV trailers, and am convinced that pulling is MUCH more influenced by air drag resistance than weight or design. Obviously, a nice aerodynamic unit will pull much easier than a boxey trailer - either bumper hitch or 5th wheel, or a boxey, square fronted, tall truck mounted camper. My Dad pulled a 28ft Argosy all over the western US with a 1992 Chevy Suburban 1/2 ton with a 350 - -not a real ultralite trailer, but very aerodynamic. I've got a 30' Award made in Canada, weighs 4200 lbs, and think I could pull it with a Ford Explorer - but use only a 1/2 ton or larger vehicle just for more stability and stopping power. I think you have enough pickup mass, braking capacity, and size to be stable, presuming you use either an aerodynamic and liteweight 5th wheel or similar bumper hitch with anti-sway bars and weight distribution hitch, and have good trailer brake system. I'd really suggest a good used Airstream, Argosy, or Award aerodynamic trailer design - -somewhere in the 25'-30" MAX length, (as there will be rainey days where everyone will need to be inside!!), with a load-leveling and anti-sway hitch, and have the trailer brakes inspected well! You probably can buy a new "box" trailer cheaper than these used units - -but, I really think their quality and aerodynamics more than make up for being used. Plus, they tend to re-sell well on down the road.

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
