Ferm, what I know about travel trailers wouldn't fill a thimble, but that looks like it woulda been a pretty good buy at $4500..nice, clean, obviously well taken care of and w/new tires, looks like a pretty good one to me...I saw one, maybe a touch smaller being towed down the intersate w/a bass boat behind the camper the other day...now if you can hang yer V behind it, you'll REELY have something nice!!...

I like that trailer, Ferm. Looks like its alot bigger inside than it seems.

Ferm are those the Ebay mirrors on your Burb? How do you like them? Also is your Burb diesel?

They're the same mirrors as the ones on Ebay, I just bought them from a site vendor on a site I frequent. Not real impressed with the quality of them though as they vibrate easily, and are pretty bad at 70. They do give alot of visibility though behind me. And she is definately a diesel, a DURAMAX/ALLISON crammed in(follow the link in my sig to the post about it here). And yes, it is a BIG 25 footer. It has to have about 7' of height inside, and is a full 8' wide outside.

And Reel I think it would have been a good buy at $4500, but he needed money so I got it for a good bit less.

Ohhh i was thinking a 6.5 TD.
I have read alot of bad things about Pcola Diesel in addition to what you said about them. I was planning to buy injectors for my 6.5 there. Guess not.

What do you think it will take to stop the vibration?

Nice addition, I agree with Reel, put and bumper hitch on the back and hook the v20 up as well. I have a 33 footer that I pull with my Suburban, it's probably more that she should handle but pulls pretty well. The only time I get concerned pulling the camper is when being passed by an 18 wheeler.

Triple rigs in Fl are a big time fine down here as in they red flag you on teh side of the road, so no putting a hitch on the back and towing something else. I am gonna put a carrier back there though to put my generator on.

Ferm, she's a thing of beauty for sure. Up here you couldn't touch that for $4500, much less lower than that. So you got a steal. Now for the REELY big question... when are you guys making a road trip along the eastern seaboard to visit all us Yankees?

The biggest problem is the doors on the 88-99 trucks just weren't meant to support this heavy of a mirror. When you get that far out the slightest movement shows up in the mirrors. I'm going to try and refit the support brackets that came with them and see if I can tighten em up a little. As far as PENSACOLA goes, DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THEM! I have heard nothing but horror stories about them over the last 2 1/2 years, and word is from somebody inside teh company is they know they are turning out inferior parts but the management really doesn't care so long as they keep making money.
