RE: 25ft Toy Hauler Suggestions
ATC can build you a lifetime of reliability 23 or 25 foot toy hauler, and yes no slide. They do offer canvas push out for sleeping. That all being said, if you want long term durability and no surprises 2 things need to be NOT in your rv. Wood(top to bottom) and slides.

I would never buy ANY FCA vehicle, living here in the Rust Belt. All Fca vehicles have major electrical issues, especially grounds, after about 5 years in any snow environment, especially if they use salt on the roads.
No issues ever with our 2012 300c awd. All in Michigan.

All online reservations should include the discount and benefits. It should be easy, not hard.

I disagree. A career of stays at Holiday inn and Marriott. Never, ever did this happen. Loyalty programs should be easy, not hard.

Good Sam discount
When making a reservation to the lemon cove park, lemon cove California on 2/14 for 3 nignts I was not asked and forgot to give my good sam number. I emailed shortly after and offered the number, they came back and said no problem, show at check in and you will get the discount.
I check in, get my card out and no, can't get it as reservation was already made. I have all the e mails to prove the conversation. Marcus, can you step in? This is a horrible way to run a loyalty program.

RE: Casita vs "conventional" small trailers
Good to see demand for quality. Too bad Elkhart is controlled by only a few. They need much more competition, both domestically and foreign.

RE: Help!!! Frame broke
This is a pitiful story. I have traversed this country in 3 years 7 times, all carrying 100 gallons of water. OP, if the RV industry could feel real competition, your situation would not exist. They can build junk because they can. No outside pressure to excel. Sad.

RE: Would I ever be happy towing with a half ton truck
I just watched a guy pull out of here with a massive 4 slide trailer. Longer than mine anyways. 1500 ram limited. I doubt he has 1100 lbs payload. Goodyear wrangler passenger tires. Its was way overloaded.
Some real steep hills here and around desert city, winds are calm though today.
I waved a good bye. Hope it goes ok for him. Something tells me it will be a challenging ride at some point.

RE: Would I ever be happy towing with a half ton truck
Maybe, the real tow rating is just a capability thing that's created by mfg for just durability but not for reality.
My point is this is an rv forum. My 8klb load is totally different than 8klb of rocks, or a mini cat loader on a flat bed. We tow a huge wind load, it is not a factor in current ratings. My coach is just under 34 ft long. Its a square box with a rounded off nose. Its comparing apples and oranges. Stiff cross winds are a factor for all of us. Now add in western region canyons, passes and its a different world.
Maybe a fudge factor of 30% or so should be deducted for rv applications. I know frontal is a factor, but why not side load as well? This is again why weight of the tv must be a contributing factor in stability and ease of towing.

RE: Would I ever be happy towing with a half ton truck
Another huge factor is where you tow. I found the ED overall was much more comfortable east of the Rockies. It still was a bit stressful in severe cross winds but the long grades, severe winds and consistent mountainous or high altitude will test the abilities of a TV. I also think weight of the TV is a huge factor in stability when confronting these conditions. Our CTD is almost 8klb. Stiffer suspension and that weight just commands greater control.

RE: Would I ever be happy towing with a half ton truck
I can speak as one who has recently gone to a CTD from an ED. Towing approx 8klbs in mountainous western regions and cross country with a ATC 28 front bedroom. Going on 3 years with this set up. Ill keep it simple.
No comparison. I pass on passes, enjoy the scenery coming down, and much more relaxed at the end of the day. Heavy cross winds and long grades are a distant bad memory. I would never go back to a half ton again with this coach anyway.
Speaks volumes gents, the ED did it, but this puppy does it so much easier.

RE: Would I ever be happy towing with a half ton truck
Well, my take on this could be the after coil suspension, and passenger tires all wrapped up in a lighter overall tv, that can cause sway in a high wind load combination.

RE: insulation on a 28 ft all aluminum
In a nutshell, although battleship reliable, and she has approx 37k miles in just 3 short years,the ATC is not an extreme cold weather coach. We find as it approaches below 30, then its time to move further south. Currently in desert hot springs. If you go colder then I would suggest investigating with the factory on what they offer as options.

RE: Newbie To Full Tine
I would suggest buying anything with as little wood as possible. Especially flooring. Long term it is the Achilles heel of rv durability.

RE: Toy Hauler Door Capacities
I think our ATC is 4klbs. But a video is out of them driving a forklift on one at the factory. It was I think 6klb. It held.
