New to forum from OH

Been camping for many years. DW and I picked up our retirement 5th wheeler two months ago after looking at new toy haulers for about a year. Decided on a 2014 raptor 300mp...loved the floorplan. We will be towing with 2011 F250 fx4 6.7 bagged vehicle. Both of us will be retired for 2015 camping season and plan on traveling with our Lab and Harley. Really enjoy the forum for info!

Welcome to the forum.

Have you signed the papers yet? If not then you might want to look at the tow ratings for your truck. And look at the rear axle weight rating. Me thinks you'll find your over...anyway congrats!!

to the Forum from Western PA.

Hope you enjoy your Raptor 300 MP as well as we do. Great rig, Heavy though. I also feel you are probably over weight with your TV.

Anyway, Congrats on your new Raptor and Enjoy

Happy Camping and Be Safe

Thanks

Thanks to all of you! We have had it out several times since purchase and really like all of the possibilities a toy hauler has opened up. Only a few minor problems including the fact that the label maker musta been broken when our unit was made. Black and grey tank handles were unmarked as well as the three coax connections. Trial and error.
