Nice work on the price! Enjoy the new trailer...

BTW I'm a big fan of the BFG AT K/O's- they always seem to last 60K miles...

Second the tires. At 35,000 miles, I've got 11/32 left.

Congrats on the new trailer!!!

I'm looking at new rubber for my Tundra DC right now to replace the P-rated Deuler's.

One of the best rated are Firestone Destination A/T, so I'm thinking of going with those.

I'm also looking at new tires, probably go with teh BFG AT K/O's since you guys like 'em. I went with Airlift 5000 airbags vs. firestone as the airlifts come with a lifetime warranty and the firestones only 2 years. Plus airlifts are cheaper.

Congratulations on the trailer. RV dealers are selling new campers for less than you can buy a 2 to 4 year old trailer from an individual. I just bought a "new" 2009 Keystone Laredo 29BHS for $19.5K. Individuals were listing their 3 year old trailers for $18.5k to $24K and would not back down. I guess they paid closer to MSRP.

I like the BFG KOs for towing.

Hi there i always turn to u-haul for hitch advice! They are like hitch gods lol i had a problem with a hitch that i had purchased somewhere else and it kept loosening and finally i stopped by and they answered all my questions and before you know it i was getting a brand new hitch installed and returned the other one so check out their website or give them a call. . . They can answer your question

If a combo of all these whizz bangs met their claims you'd have to siphon gas out of your tank every second day and sell the excess horsepower on the third????

The Prodigy and P3 are the same except for a couple features. The fun feature being the LCD screen on the P3, the other feature is the P3 will handle hydraulic brakes and electric brakes, whereas the Prodigy is only electric brakes. So if the LCD screen is no big thing then there is no reason to spend the money on the P3.

I grow up in VA (Manassas). Shop around and deal. I found one in PA and was going to drive down to pick it up, gave Camping World one more shot at it and they caved. Couldn't pass on the deal.

What kind of trailer are you looking for? Search for a 2009 as the 2010 are on the lot's and the 09's are taking up space.

The P3 is awesome and the tundra had no issues pulling this trailer on our first trip (280miles each way to Acadia Nat. Park, Bar Harbor, ME). It eats the gas, 9.8 mpg.

Even if you never put motorcycles in the toy hauler section, I think this is the way to go. Stow the bunk beds in the up position, carry on the gear into the toy hauler section, close door, make sure hitch weight is set right and blast off. No more trying to stuff 100 gallons of crap in a 10 gallon pass through. No need to fold, tuck, bend or curse you gear again.

It made life easy. First travel trailer and this trailer made it easy to set up and break down camp, allowing me more time with the family.

Search on, the deals are out there.....
