first time out
hi all, just a report on our first time out this past weekend with our new 269FWRET Coppper Canyon . all went well and we really do like this model. this is our first fifth wheel ,so backing and hitching and un hitching are a bit different than previous TT. i know it is a lot easier for hitching , but i keep remebering posts of pulling away with tow vehicle and 5er falling on the truck bed. didn't happen and hope it never does .
we especially enjoyed the electric fireplace to take the chill off . everything worked real well . i couldn't get the TV to pick up any air channels until i discoverd the booster in the bed room . pidked up about 25 channnels .
towed very good . using a 2013 Ram 2500 HD Hemi as my tow vehicle . averged 9 MPG . i think that will get better as engine breaks in . it has plenty of power. i can maintain 65 MPH on a level road turning only 2000 RPM'S does pull on the hills ,but that is to be expected . have 3 more trips planned before thinking of winterizing .
