A real good T V

We used our 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe XL (6 cyl) with our 2010 Casita 17'. Was a dream to pull, followed like a a puppy. Great ride, plenty of space to load, 5000# tow, 290 hp.

Yep, What Jim said

Get everything set up in advance with Trademasters and have it all installed the day before you pick up the camper. Excellent work and customer service.

You Tube reviews by experts

A nice one will still be at $40k and for that money you can get a Canyon SLT diesel (which is preferred for safely pulling a heavier camper having a big exposure to wind).

Towed our 2016 Scamp 19 deluxe easily with a 2015 GMC Canyon 6 cyl gas. This is the 6 speed trans, SLT, short bed, and the hitch was done at the factory in Basset, MN. I've since replaced it with an...

New axle, welded on axle lifts, new wheels, tires, step up box to the entry, one of a kind look on a 13. Not sure about that.
