    1. Be sure the TV sits in a spot that is very comfortable for you to watch.
    2. Check the length for you to tandem pull your boat.
    3. Generator, yes or no?

    Camping World needs a wake up call...Our dealership here in Oakwood, Ga. is so high pressured in sales that you can't even take look at what newer models have to offer without being asked to buy one "today". You have to have a high pressured escort to even walk or drive in a golf cart at the lot to look at campers/rvs ... they keep them all locked and blame it on thefts of tvs ...ridiculous....all campers/rvs fall apart eventually regardless of price of purchase...we have had a 2014 bunk house model from Keystone since new...never traveled with it and have only taken it directly to out permanent campsite right from the dealer, nothing but a list of problems blamed on road vibrations and general use...BS. We have had several other campers with similar issues at a much higher price tag...buy a lesser expensive one like our Hideout Keystone and you'll be ahead in the long run....just a thought...Hope this helps...

    The problem with 3/4 ton trucks is not what they'll pull. They're powered just like the 1 ton trucks. It's their capability to handle the kingpin and hitch weights. It's not good enough to pull something forward. They've also got to have the ability to safely turn a corner--and stop as short as possible.

    I'm towing a 11k lb. mid size fifth wheel and it has a 2K lb. dry weight on the kingpin with a 3/4 ton diesel crew cab. After a full tank of diesel and my hitch, I'm maxed out.

    You will hear horror stories about any brand. I've owned both and the FR was a nightmare , Anything that could go wrong did and overall the build quality wasn't as good as the Keystone.
    The dealer bought back our FR for nearlly what we paid for it before it was a year old. So far the Keystone has been trouble free..

    Just some more input... I have a 2016 palomino sabre. They are owned by forest river. No real problems except electrical issues after power failure /short in an RV park.
    I did hear from a Grand Design owner though. Any part that fails on their campers, and they just ship it to you. Every other company has to be inspected by a certified shop and blah blah blah. That takes lots of time and fuel if something can be easily fixed.
