[RVthereyet?]

Hello

I have a young family and we are two years into RVing. We bought a '98 Viking Pop-up, July 4 09, and used it a bunch last year pulling it with my wife's Sienna. About a month ago we sold the pop-up and bought a '02 Keystone Cabana. We were hoping to to be able to pull it with her mini-van but her's is good for 3,000#. Instead we pull with my '03 F-350 V-10.

Thanks for being here and willing to share your knowledge with a newbe.

I look forward to seeing you around the fourm.

Skip and family....... welcome to the group and hope you enjoy your upgrade to the Keystone Cabana. Like your handle..."RVthereyet"? Like you, have been asked that many times but sooooo long ago.

Keep in mind of the max towing capacity especially after the rig and tow vehicle is fully loaded. I thought I was good to go with my F-350 towing a 30' TT no problem right? Well, found out I blew the front seal on the factory transmission and was spewing tranmission every time I pulled the trailer. Ended up upgrading the transmission and now I don't even feel the trailer back there. Just make sure you have some extra room in the towing capacity so you don't get an unexpected problem.

:confused: I'm not a Ford guy but I sure do hope an F350 can handle the 17' hybrid TT the OP was talking about without burning up a trans. :confused:

The F-350 will haul it with no problem. I was just trying give reference and ensure your vehicle will haul everything you are thinking, ie using the minivan.
