Our Thoughts
Trailer Length
Do not buy a bumper pull trailer this long until you understand trailer sway. Trailers over 30ft are tough and tiresome to control. You will need an anti-sway hitch and we recommend a long-bed truck. You may even want a dually. If you find you need a floorplan this large and intend to travel with it regularly, consider purchasing a fifth wheel trailer instead. You will need to buy a bigger truck, but a comparable length fifth wheel will offer a less stressful towing experience.
Cargo Capacity
The cargo capacity on this trailer is acceptable for couples and some families, but you'll have to limit what you bring with.
Tow Vehicle Recommendations
This trailer is an enormous trailer. You are solidly in heavy duty truck territory like the Ford Super Duty or the GMC Sierra HD. With a trailer this long, you may want to get a dually or look at special Hensley style hitches.
Also, be sure you are considering fifth wheels. They are more stable and easier to tow than travel trailers, while offering features like more storage and higher ceilings. You're already in heavy duty truck territory with this trailer, so you should at least look at fifth wheels.
Look inside the door frame for a sticker that lists the payload capacity. The vehicle needs to be able to carry the tongue weight of the trailer, passengers, and gear. For a driver, passenger, and gear, that means about 2,036 pounds.

Gear Recommendations
When buying a trailer, you'll need a few basics. Usually, the power cord is included, but you'll need to purchase hoses for water and sewer. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. Purchasing items such as those below through the links on this page help to support this site.
Zero-G Drinking Water Hose
At 50ft, this hose is long enough for almost every campsite, while being soft and flexible enough to pack away easily.
RhinoFlex Sewer Hose
This hose is a good balance of cost and durability. This is the most common hose I see at any given campground.
TST 507 TPMS
Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems offer you piece of mind while towing. TST units show both pressure and temperature, alerting you to tire problems before they become a major situations.
Lithium-capable Battery Charger
Lithium batteries need higher current to fully charge. Lots of similar units are just built for lead acid batteries.
