Hey guys,
I need some help. Just got back from Indian Princess campout and I have had it with sleeping in a tent with four little precious girls. Either its freezing, raining, or someone has to go to the potty and it always becomes a 45 minute ordeal during the night. Its just life, but I sure would like it to be a tad bit easier.....so I am going to buy a camper, something with a toilet praise the Lord, and a shower Hallalujah! and the best part of it, a dang heater so that I and the girls dont catch pneumonia.
Okay, first things first. I own a 2008 1500 Chevy Silverado. Its a crew cab Texas edition. I was researching the maximum towing capacity, and it looks to be roughly 7600lbs (drivers manuel). Its two wheel drive, which worries me a little if we get in some bad weather, but I am trying to get out of debt at the moment, or else I would just go buy my dream 6.7 f250 and a camper to boot. So I am going to try and pull this off with my half ton.
What would yall suggest? am I safe to get a 28-32ft camper trailer? Have you all had any experience? does it feel like the half ton was getting pulled off the road with wind?
Thank you so much, also, anyone with some camper experience on what brand to buy and what not is much appreciated.
