Hi,
First post here, however I'm active in the forum for my current trailer brand and have learned over 8 years how valuable input from current owners is after threading and talking to people. I was looking at possibly moving from a TT to a 5ver toy hauler, in particular the 343TH11. We have a nice TT now with a bunkhouse however my boys are all over 6ft now and in their late teens/early twenties so the BH isnt really cutting it anymore and we need another 1/2 bath since we're planning to camp with extended friends and family. Also, the mrs. wants a washer/dryer setup.
First, any current owners that can give me advice in the form of 1)what you tow with 2)plus and minus's of this layout and overall comments/recommendations on this and other layout of the KZ line are appreciated.
I'm thinking that swapping out a bunkhouse for the garage is a no brainer.
FWIW, I have a 36ft TT with two slides and upgraded last year from a 2011 F150EB to a 2017 F350 SRW 6.7 diesel, so not messing around with anything over 11-11.5K weight-wise since I ran the numbers and we tend to pack heavy for cross country trips. I've towed heavy before, just shy of my limits and frankly no longer enjoy pulling with the tail wagging the dog as they say, hence the F350.
We really like the Durango line at the RV show, however I am concerned about weight. Running the numbers using a Ford towing tool (pdf) it was surprising how fast even a 1 ton can hit the limits, seems the pin weight is the breaking point on the SRW. I want plenty of play in the weight, never know may wind up with a toy in the back at some point.
