I have the C261RB on order, I love the floor plan, having it built my way. It has everything that I was wanting in a camper, double sinks, kitchen drawers, duel recliners, large walk in shower, with all electric jacks and tongue. I choose the booth instead of the table and chairs. It’s coming with a fireplace and the awning will have something that will close if there are high winds. I own right now the KZ Escape Spree with double bunks, no electric jacks,no double sink or drawers and a small bathtub. Can’t wait to get my new camper. 😁😍⛺️

Considering purchase of a C241RLK Connect trailer to be pulled by 1/2 ton Ford F150 with towing package in wind? That's the one I bought last fall ! I only had the chance to use it once before I had to winterize it so I can't comment too much other than I really like the lay out of it. I was pulling it with a 1/2 ton GMC which was rated to tow 9400 lbs. My back of the envelope math said I would be pulling around 6,000 or so so I should have had plenty of leeway. Despite that, I ended up upgrading to a 3/4 Chevy diesel. I'm in Colorado and some of the mountain grades can be steep AND long so I somehow talked myself into believing I needed the bigger engine. |

Considering purchase of a C241RLK Connect trailer to be pulled by 1/2 ton Ford F150 with towing package in wind? I'm pulling a 241-RLK Connect with a 1/2 ton 5.7 liter Tundra (rated at 10,000 lbs towing capacity) and have 0 issues with the weight. I live in Colorado and camp most of the time in the mountains and it glides up the steepest grades easily. As a side note it is one of the few coach layouts that makes so much sense. They actually put the seating in the camper so everyone could see the tv straight on. What a concept. Also like the doors leading in to the bedroom for privacy and accessing the bathroom from both the front of the coach and a separate door from the bedroom. I hope you enjoy your Connect. Good luck and happy camping. |

I've just purchased a 2018 261RB. It's our first trailer and I also purchased a Sierra Crew Cab Kodiak edition to do the hauling. It's getting late in the season up in Canada but we've had two short trips so far and only a couple of minor issues that I'll go back to the dealer about. Two questions for anyone out there:
1. Is a backup camera worth the investment? So far we've gone to two sites that were pull thru's but I know it's a matter of time to rip that bandaid off and start doing some back ins. Just wondering about whether to purchase a camera or not.
2. My trailer has the back rack (with spare tire on it). I've heard it referred to as an extra sport for luggage or wood or a generator or bikes. We love to bike and I was wondering if anyone has figured out a way to put bikes on a trailer that has a back rack?

We love to bike and I was wondering if anyone has figured out a way to put bikes on a trailer that has a back rack? We keep the spare tire in the middle of the front storage bin area. We found bike adapters for the cargo carrier on Amazon. They have a couple brands. Here's the link to the one we have:

That's great jagnpackfan! Thanks for sharing. Did you need to do any special modification to the bike adapter?

That's great jagnpackfan! Thanks for sharing. Did you need to do any special modification to the bike adapter? No mods necessary - very easy installation and no special tools required. Been using ours for 14 months now. |

To answer your rear camera question... I think it is a worthwhile investment. If you shop around on the internet you can usually find a good price on it. I got the rear observation camera which stays on all of the time as long as your headlights are on. It is good for knowing when it is safe to change lanes, and you can see if somebody is tailgating your or not, plus it is helpful when backing up. I am happy with mine.

I got the observation camera from Furrion. I use it to monitor traffic behind and backing up. Works very good, good investment.
