Great vid and like how you’re keeping it real; We purchased a Grand Design XLS 22mle back in 2022. The dealers in Florida were way too high! So we left Miami, FL to Cookeville, Tennessee to trade in our Surveyor 19BHLE and as you, we saved including fuel cost etc $7k in savings. And we made a trip out of it. And camped in Tennessee state park, Campes in GA and in Mount Dora, FL. God Bless 🌅
such a beautiful trailer I would not want to take it on the Alcan Highway you might want to think about taking a ferry to Anchorage and driving up from there. Roads are paved scenery, beautiful. I’m afraid the Alcan will just tear up your trailer. Best of luck.
Kevin, We took it up and back in July and August this past summer. No major problems and the scenery is spectacular . We did have some minor stone damage to the front of trailer, but it has a rubber/soft plastic on the bottom portion of the front cap, but no big deal. The windshield did got a rock ding on it, but that happened in Washington state of a freshly paved road, when a dump truck passed us in the opposite direction.
@@Seemore724 I am so glad you had a wonderful trip Alaska’s absolutely beautiful I would love to see more Canada I used to live in Fairbanks Alaska 100 years ago when I was 19 and 20 years old had since taken a cruise on the inland passage. Absolutely stunning. Glad you had such a great trip. Glad to hear no major damage.
I apologize for not replying sooner, we just completed a 12,300 mile round trip to Alaska. Ton answer your question, I use a standard hitch I purchased off Amazon, and it is not a weight distribution hitch. I dislike the stresses that those hitches put on the frame of the trailer. I installed air bags on my F250 Super Duty and level the rig using the air bags. I know people claim that it does not distribute the weight between the truck and trailer, but when I used a CAT scale it was balanced nicely. No problems after close to 20,000 miles towing this way.
