Just found this forum, kind of by accident. Just bought a left over 2011 Sprinter 277RLS from Alpin Haus in Wilton, NY. My wife and I are retired so we decided to head south for some sunny Florida weather. I was nervous about handling a much bigger trailer - we owned an 18 foot rPod and upgraded to the Keystone. I tow with a 2010 Toyota Tundra 5.7 and was pleasantly surprised at how well this thing tows. I'm guessing to be carrying about 9000 lbs in the camper and have a 500 lbs motorcycle in the bed of the truck. Kept it between 55 and 60 mph and it towed like a dream. I have an equalizer hitch which seemed to help keep things stable. Can't wait to pick members brains since I have a few questions not answered by the general manual I got with the trailer.

Welcome to the forum from another Sprinter owner. We have the older version of that floor plan and love it! Hope you enjoy yours as much as we do ours.

I think the floor plan of the 277RLS is what sold us. I really like the front slide-out for the closets. My wife loves the storage space.

The floor plan is what really sold us on ours too. We do wish we had a little more bedroom storage but we have made it work for us.
