I was just checking the GVWR/UBW and NCC of a 25 foot Airstream Flying
Cloud and a 25 foot
Bigfoot with the front bed. I thought that the Airstream would be very
light compared to the
Bigfoot, but here are the numbers...Airstream GVWR 7300, UBW 5540 and NCC 1760.
Bigfoot 25 foot front bed GVWR 7500, UBW 5450 and NCC 2050 pounds. I checked the specs on my 1993 Suburban with a 5.7 liter engine and it's rated to pull 10,000 pounds. Is it possible that I just don't know how to pull a trailer? Maybe I need to gear down more. I do put it into the gear above D for the hills, but mostly I have pulled the trailer on the flats in D. How does everyone else use the gears for pulling a trailer? I was quite surprised to see the weights come in very comparable to an Airstream for the Bigfoot. Maybe I just need to learn how to drive the Suburban. What can I say? I never took driver's ed since I got my
license in Alaska and they didn't offer it there.
