RE: New A-Frame Camper

in #camping6 years ago

Thanks! Yes, this is the third and nicest a-frame we have owned. The first one was a shorter 17' trailer that was very nice too but it had a intermittent electrical problem with the brakes that no one could fix. Most of the time it would work fine but sometimes it would lock up the wheels and release them in a really quite dangerous way.

I've towed a-frames through Wyoming in nasty windy weather and had no problems with sway or anything using a simple hitch. My new hitch has load leveler and anti-sway bars for the bigger trailer so it is really easy to tow the lighter a-frame. This new a-frame is heavier than any of the other ones that I have owned though, so the bars are kind of nice to have. I've experienced sway before towing a boat and that is really no fun, however, I probably would not have purchased this fancy a hitch for such a lightweight aerodynamic trailer if I had not owned it already.

There is some really nice country around here with beautiful places to camp in the Cascade mountains. It is really fun to go camping!
