Smile Picking up our new copper canyon tomorrow

Well we're off to pick up our new fifth wheel tomorrow morrning. We are excited, a little nervous, cause we've never owned one before and don't know how they pull or what to expect. All in all I think its going to be a great experience and can't wait to get it to the lake and get it set up for the year!

good luck- hope all goes well.

I got my 1st 5th wheel last year. Having started with a pop up, then to a 21 ft hybrid, I enjoy towing the 5er best. Granted I'm doing it with a 2011 f250, not my jeep or a mini van, but the 5th wheel tows sooo nice.

The wife really enjoys all the room.

Talking 5ver's

Hi Charger
I've been pulling fifthwheels since 1990 and one thing I'll tell you is that they will follow you anywhere, LOL. Be safe and if you married get a set of walkie Talkies and listen to the DW while backing, that way if you hit something you'll have someone else to blame for it.

We just went camping in our new Copper Canyon we picked up a few weeks ago and we love it. First trip was just 20 miles from home because we wanted to make sure everything worked. Everything worked fine. Good luck and most important enjoy!!

Welcome!
Enjoy your new 5th, what size, our new to us 2005 293 Copper Canyon (33') seems to tow smoother than our old King of the Road (28').
