I've compared the two Jayco and Winnebago. On comparable models there is 15 grand difference. The Winnebago spider is out of my price range. I've considered the weight of the trailers in my researching. The jayco is 7700 dry, 13500 loaded. The Winnebago is about 1500 lbs heavier. My truck is rated at 18,000 lbs, so I feel safe with the jayco. Thnx for every bodies input so far, keep the info coming.

Just realized how long these trailers are. I was looking at a 33 footer that my sxs would not fit. This one is 38' total. Not sure I want to pull one this long. Any body pulled a bumper pull this long before? If so what's ur thoughts on this

Good info here. I've often thought about campers and such. Every time I do I always come to the conclusion that it is much less expensive to simply rent a cabin, house, or even a hotel. If I had more time I might could justify the cost. If you are dead set on getting one, I would start out as cheaply as possible. You can always upgrade and I would bet the farm whatever ideas you have now about what you want and need will change after a few trips.

Lee it depends on what you plan pulling with. Something that big I wouldn't even consider without a 1 ton dully.Originally Posted by BAMA S

What Cray said, no substitute for the right pulling rig. If memory serves me Lee has a new 3/4 Dodge diesel.

I pulled a good size camper over to washington last year and the wind eat me up in my 3/4, I know it can be done but if and when I get a camper I will have a dually, been wanting another one anyway.

John was it a fifth wheel or bumper pull.... I'm hearing the fifth wheel is better for longer, heavier trailers.
