You're actually pretty close to my brother-in-law. He lives in Hampton. We're looking for good campgrounds between us ( you are correct... Middletown, DE ). Any suggestions?

Thanks for the feedback everyone.

I'm convinced the Cougar is the way to go. I believe the 28RLS has 50 amp service and is pre-wired for 2nd AC unit. I'll have to confirm that to be sure.

Makes sense. We'll be camping mostly on the east coast ( mid-atlantc ), at least for the first couple of seasons. Maybe look into that a couple years down the road... we're not planning to upgrade...

Outback v. Cougar

Hi everyone... we're in the market for a TT and have narrowed it down to a few models. Based on features and size, we like (1) Cougar 28RLS, (2) Outback 272UFL, and the (3) Outback 278URL.

It's really a nice combination. For a 3/4 ton, it rides very smooth. It is a 4x4, but even with all the weight it doesn't feel lacking for power at all. I'd have to look up the dimensions of the...

I thought about going with diesel, but it just isn't in the budget right now. A few years back we had a small TH ( ~25 ft & loaded with a Road King ). Towed it behind my 2007 Ram 2500 Hemi. We...

From what I've read, they're fine for most conditions. Seems the 410's make the steeper grades a whole lot easier though. Being on the east coast, I don't have to worry about too many long, steep...

Yup... would be a good long term solution. The only thing I'd change is the gears, but they're hard to find on lots. Everything I've seen so far has the 3.73.
