You won't even need an equalizer with that 3/4 ton pickup I'd bet.



I have the 2019 version of the Freedom Express 192RBS. I towed it from DFW to Orange Beach, AL in June with a GMC Sierra 1500 without a hiccup. It tows just fine without an equalizer hitch.


While that may be the case in the real world, it certainly is not here on rv.net! lol
If you don't have an Anderson pro pride B&W super slide 16 phase wdh with intuitive anti sway with a weight safe hitch head, all hooked to an e over h braking system designed to haul down a 747 landing on a short runway, behind a F450 (not the little pickup but a REAL F450) or comparable truck, you will most certainly not have the performance capable of keeping it on a country road if a cow farts too close to the ROW fence and sends a breeze of dairy aire across the road as you happen to pass!

Congrats. That’s a great floor plan. We did the same thing but went down to 18 feet and a T@B 400.

Hope you have many great camping trips.

Nice. Our first trailer was a 1998 Nash 22H. Wonderful well built small trailer that fit almost anywhere. 2 kids later (now up to 3) we upgraded to a Jayco 29QBS that is 35 feet long. Our next rig will be a 5th wheel, likely closer to 40 feet long as the kids grow and we intend to take a longer cross country trip in it.

Looking ahead to when kids are gone, thinking we will stay with a smaller 5th wheel, but who knows where the future leads us! Enjoy your smaller camper and simpler camping life! I miss my little camper and not hauling around 5 chairs, 3 bikes, a couple scooters, water table, rain boots, etc etc! (But I wouldn't trade it for the world!)
